I bought the Dell G3 3500 (same as in the video only with net 1660ti) November 2020. I have the problem that the laptop now has only one hour of battery life - and only when writing Word documents. Can I send the laptop ( have 1 year warranty so still until November 2021) back and get a new one in return?! What do you think, I would be happy about an answer.

[@Notebcom]

It's unlikely to get a new laptop unless they can't fix the current one under warranty. If the battery is defective, then they won't do anything, unless the laptop is only 6 months old, because the battery has only a 6-month warranty. If something else is defective, they will fix it. Either way, I think contacting Dell customers support regarding this problem is your best option.

Unfortunately undervolting is no longer possible on Intel 10th Gen as with previous laptops. Some laptops like the MSI GP65 have hidden menus to enable undervolting on Intel 10th Gen, not sure if the G3 has it.

It isn't much you can do in terms of settings. The laptop will run hot any besides a cooling pad, there is nothing I can recommend. There is also the option of replacing the thermal paste with liquid metal, but depending on where you are, it might void your warranty. Liquid metal can also damage the laptop if you are not careful and it spills on the laptop motherboard.

[@Notebcom]

We haven't tested the Ideapad Gaming 3, though from what we know, it's a pretty poor laptop. The CPU heat can be misleading, you have to look at the heat versus the turbo clocks. A laptop my run at 70C on the CPU because the BIOS only allows it to boost to a small speed. Overall, we liked the G3 and we can't argue against it. Since we don't know much about the IdeaPad Gaming 3, and the G3 was ok for us, I think I will suggest the G3. We also have a full written review on the G3 on noteb.com in our review section.

It's not really normal, usually you don't want the CPU to constantly run above 95C. It will affect long-term usage. Unfortunately that's how they designed this laptop, to run at 100C. There are only two solution: 1. Disable turbo boost from BIOS and limit laptop performance, but temperatures won't exceed 90C. 2. Put better thermal paste on the CPU, like liquid metal or ICDiamond 24K.

Hey I'm useless with all things tech. My brain genuinely can't understand it. I have a few games I'd like to play but I'd like to know if they'd run in the highest settings (let's say Ultra for arguments sake) These games would be The Sims 4, Fable Anniversary, Dragon Age: Origins & Dragon Age 2. Do you think it'd be able to run them?

I just ordered the G3 i7 10750h gtx 1660ti to do nothing but play/have gta V for roleplay version. Do you think this laptop will be good for this?

[@Notebcom]

Yes, with the GTX 1660Ti the laptop should have no problem running GTA V in high settings and 60 FPS. Word of advice, the cooling on this laptop is not that good, so may I suggest you also purchase a cooling pad for your long gaming sessions.

CPU is thermal throttling.. try disabling the intel turbo boost

[@Notebcom]

Indeed the laptop struggles to cool the processor so it throttles. Disabling Turbo boost will eliminate throttling but it will also drastically reduce performance.

Not really. If it lasts less you are either doing something super intensive while on battery, like gaming, or Nvidia Optimus is not switching to the integrated Intel GPU. You can read here more about the battery life: noteb.com/?content/review.php?/2020/08/25/dell-g3-15-3500-review/

Hey please tell me which one will be better for gaming- i5 10th gen+ 1650ti vs i7 10th gen +1650

[@Notebcom]

It's so hard to say. The 1650 Ti is only like 7-9% faster than the normal 1650. However, since the Dell G3 already struggles to cool the i5 10th Gen, I doubt the i7 will provide a significant fps boost due to it overheating. Consequently, if you going to buy the Dell G3, I am going to say, go for the i5 10th gen + 1650Ti.

[@AshwinSNair_]

@@Notebcom Hey thanks for providing me information regarding this laptop. I have bought this and no problems till now. You were right about the heating issue , it does heat alot but i think its fine because the GPU temperature stays under 85 and CPU under 95 , which is comparatively better than Asus tuf a15. Do you think cooling pads might bring a major reduction in temps?

[@Notebcom]

@@AshwinSNair_ If you read our review here: noteb.com/?content/review.php?/2020/08/25/dell-g3-15-3500-review/ It writes like this: "Consequently, getting a cooling pad should noticeably improve temperatures. " I think that answers your question.

[@PineappleForScale]

Damn, those temps are scary even though they are within the limitations specified by intel. Can you check the temps in any game of your choice with turbo boost off from bios and tell me? It should drop to the range of 65-85.

[@Notebcom]

Sorry, we tested this laptop a long time ago and we no longer have access to it. We test a new laptop every month.

@@bryantwow wow that's soo great! Could you do a tutorial showing how to do it? I bought this pc few dayd ago and heard that the heating is a problem, but i don't know how to unable the turbo boost

[@Notebcom]

I think you can using alien control center or Intel xtu tool. Disabling turbo boost will hurt your FPS, but it depends on the title. Less cpu intensive titles won't notice much of a difference, while games like Warzone or PUBG will see a big FPS drop.

[@PineappleForScale]

@@WilliamsDarkoh keep pressing F2 as soon as you start. After bios opens go to "performance" which is near the bottom of the list at the left. Scroll down and you will see turbo boost toggle as the second last option.

Of course! The laptop performs like this only with the charger on. If you put it on battery, performance will be reduced to 30-40% of what the laptop can while plugged in.

[@asishb]

Is this laptop good for extreme gaming(like 10 hours at a stretch in the weekends )?

[@Notebcom]

For gaming laptops it doesn't really matter for how long you play. The only thing that could get damaged long-term are the fans, but they are generally designed to last more than 3 years of continuous use. I will share a secret with you, it's not for how long you play on your laptop that damages it, but how often. It's the cooling and heating cycle that damages electronics the most on the long run, not the amount of time they are used at full potential. They might still get damaged when you use them long-term at full capacity if they are overheating, but that's secondary. So overall, I think you can use the G3 for what you want. But for the price you are paying for it, I think the Nitro 5 or the Lenovo Legion 5 are a better deal if you can get them at a similar price and specifications.

[@asishb]

@@Notebcom I have been using an HP laptop for 6 years. There are times when I didn't even shut down that lappy for 15 days. It has worked great, except that I had to replace the fan twice. Now, it has become very laggy, because of many required softwares that I installed to learn some computer languages. That is why I need a gaming laptop,with at least 5 years of gaming, and which can handle my softwares well. But I want a laptop with that quality(the HP laptop I was talking about)

[@Notebcom]

@@asishb When it comes to reliability, personal experience can very misleading. All laptops, regardless of brand or price, have a chance a failure. The failure rate depends on several factors, like how the machine is used, how well the electronic components are assembled and how well the quality control checks are implemented. These factors can reduce the chance of failure, but they can never eliminate it entirely. Sooner are later, most laptops will fail, its a matter of time. Therefore, you can buy a costly, highly reliable laptop, and still, have it fail after six months, and you can buy a cheap laptop which usually lasts 2-3 years, but have it last more than five years. It all comes down to chance. The chance of the costly, reliable laptop to fail in its first years of usage, is far lower than that of the cheap, generic, consumer laptop. You are very lucky to have a gaming laptop last that long. All my gaming laptops failed eventually. Some after one year, some after 3 years. Whatever you are going to buy, do not expect it to last that long. The only way to increase your chances for your laptop to last longer is to buy one with very good cooling. However, most gaming laptops currently on the market have poor cooling. It this regard, I can only recommend the Nitro 5 only with the i5 processor, Lenovo Legion 5 or Acer Helios 300.

@@syahirfahim6717 Yes, the Helios 300 2019-2020 has a very good fan and excellent cooling. However, the 2019 version came with -120mV factory undervolt which noticeably improved temperatures and performance. Intel required many manufacturers to disable undervolting on Intel 10th Gen processors, so the 2020 version runs much hotter.
