DELL G15 Review - The More Affordable Alienware!

[@MatthewMoniz]

I apologize I keep calling it the G5 it’s the G15. Sorry for the confusion. Also, if you enjoyed the video feel free to share it and subscribe for more videos like this.

[@cameronbosch1213]

Meh. I would get another brand's laptop. The poor battery life, lack of Thunderbolt 4 on an Intel system, and bad build quality are not very compelling.

[@typerightseesight]

This thing looks pro. My first computer when I was a kid was a dell my grandpa built for me and it rocked. They used to be a great computer company. He had so many complaints about it by the time I grew up we ended up going with toshiba for a daily driver in the 2010s. I would love to give this laptop a try especially since they got gpus and removed the guts(external battery cd/dvd rom). But, I honestly don't wanna be dissapointed.. Like I was with toshiba. hahaha, you couldn't even access the bios. The harddrive was magnetic oldschool. This would be fun to see. through gsync. anyway.. Thanks for the review.

[@eshendias6833]

If you can pin this, so it'll be on top :)

[@prvs2004]

Not sure why you were getting 3+ hrs. on your battery. I have an AMD version of this laptop purchased over TG along with Asus and Lenovo and this laptop on normal usage surpasses 8+ hrs. any given day. Other than the USB-C thunderbolt not being a charging port, Gen 3.1 USB and the brick adaptor there is not much to complain given the price point of this laptop last month at $700+ for 4050 and $800+ for 4060. Also, the laptop on balanced mode on Alienware app hardly fires up the fans on normal usage and the temp hovers around 31C - 34C.

Hello I'm thinking getting this laptop with i7 13650hx and rtx 4060 I was worried about battery life ​@@prvs2004

I have this laptop and by far one of the most underrated and untalked thing about this laptop is its speaker, and even though this laptop becomes hot, you dont feel it hot, Also judging on the price point this laptop have better benchmarks than its competetors

I have taken it apart... the mobo is the heaviest after that it feels really light XD

[@benjaminngopwaamos6878]

They started cutting corners. I used the Inspiron 7577 which has probably the best build ever. No flex especially on the keyboard. It's disappointing watching them go from that to this.

[@osore_rareru]

I don’t notice the weight, but that may be because my water bottle weighs more than me when it’s empty

[@sayantandatta9882]

I have a dell G15 in my lab. Its been used regularly for the past 4 years now. It works like a charm. It has a 2070 in it. The only thing embarrassing is the fan curve, where it is really noisy, but with windows 11 power saver mode, it barely kicks on during meetings, so it works so good.

[@jonathanlewis895]

Dell gets a lot of undeserved hate. I've had one of these for a couple years, an older 3060 "special edition" version that has aluminum elements in the case, and it's been absolutely solid. Liked it enough I also bought one for my wife. One nice thing about Dell is unlike some other OEMs if you order from them directly you can request one with an English QWERTY keyboard in regions they aren't standard.

[@Fru1tpunch]

no well deserved my g15 has been having drivers issues since i first got it and has bsod 3 times im not sure if its because the graphics card they gave me is faulty but im never getting dell ever again

I have this laptop with 1tb of storage and it had 16gb of ram, I later upgraded to 32gb of ram and honestly I love this laptop. It runs bo6 with 120-140 fps easy and I’ve have zero issues running any game I want on this with high quality settings. For what you pay for I think it’s a great buy

[@MohamedAhmed-bq5uc]

Any tips when i get it ?

[@Sebastian_The_Great]

Probably just upgrade to 32gb ram if you play graphic intensive games. I also got an extra fan pad that I put under my laptop when I play to help with cooling but it’s not very necessary. The laptop is preying solid man, I play stalker 2 with no problem. Very good budget gaming laptops in my opinion. The 4060 graphics card is nice

[@bobeck9443]

Can you play Fortnite on it??

[@no23200]

6:55 I think you need to turn on some sort of notification option. I use the Dell G15 5515 which has the exact same alienware software and it does give a notification.

[@brianmclesggy]

better buy a lenovo gamer laptop, Dell is offering here a relic from the past: plastic barbie build, micro trackpad maybe for small grey little aliens, huge power brick for a ridiculus 4060....

[@cameronbosch1213]

The trackpad I can understand being cheaped out on a lower-end gaming laptop because almost all gamers will will use an external mouse, even at the lower end, but that unnecessarily huge power brick, very cheap build, and poor battery life aren't very compelling...

[@joelconolly5574]

This still built like a tank unlike Lenovo which I've seen before. The brick is the same situation for most of the gaming laptop industry so not gonna expect miracles.

[@BenjaminRodriguezReyes]

This machine will probably be a great buy at $900 someday, but until then no thanks

[@portman8909]

Lenovo impossible to find in UK and often costs more than Dell.

[@abdullahnaeem7275]

My brother has this laptop but with a 3050 one and he's been using it quite extensively. All the games he likes to play run amazing on that. The build quality maybe plastic but it is quite tanky it even survived a fall because our table one day just broke.

[@jessedameron7985]

The bad: I bought a Dell G15 4 years ago and the battery just stopped holding a charge well. The plastic is cracking apart in more than 1 place. It's at the end of its life. The good: It's so fast and good at multi-tasking for the price I found it. So much that I still ordered another Dell G15 to replace it yesterday.

[@123Suryasis]

Yes, good alternative. However, the RTX 4060 model price is a bit higher at this time.

I went for the i9 13900HX, 4060 rtx 8 GB, 16GB ddr5 Ram, and the nvidia screen as well as the RGB backlit keyboard for only 1,300 USD (with 4 year premium support) coz they were having a sale. Will update this comment once i get the laptop and test this out

[@edgardofuenmayor8972]

Did the laptop arrive?

[@lfrmz]

Any updates?

[@mundanebees3260]

Update us man 😢

[@synaru5934]

I'll chime in, since I've had mine in almost an identical configuration for just under a year (purchased Black Friday 2023). Here's my full setup: Dell G15 5530 | i9 13900HX, RTX 4060 8 GB, 32GB RAM, 165Hz screen HyperX Quadcast S + Corsair HS70 Pro wireless (USB) + UE Miniboom BT speaker MX Master 3S + Arteck 3-device BT keyboard 2 external monitors Primary uses are Photoshop and Premiere Pro editing, simultaneous gaming + Twitch streaming, plus a host of daily regular work tasks (multiple spreadsheets, email, web browsing, Teams/Zoom meetings, etc.). Starting with the only big con: The weight and battery life make this more of a desktop replacement than an on-the-go laptop. After a year of usage with the battery settings set for "Mostly connected to power" I average 2-2.5hrs of battery life doing minimal stuff like watching movies and sending emails. BUT...I bought this knowing I'd leave it connected to the charger pretty much all the time, and looking at the specs, I can't imagine most people would think this is something to stick in a bag and pull out at a coffee shop or a boardroom meeting. So if you go in with the right expectation, I almost can't even call that a "con" because it's effectively a portable desktop computer, which I've used with a portable monitor to run Twitch streams from friends' places, and even while travelling, when I can afford to bring the extra weight and want something insanely powerful in a hotel room. The build quality could definitely use a bit of an upgrade, since the trackpad isn't perfect and the plastic backing on the screen does feel a bit flimsy, but again: If you're using this as-intended, as a desktop replacement, grab a good external mouse and keyboard, and those will hardly be noticeable. Now for the pros: This thing is an absolute BEAST for any workhorse tasks. - 2-3 hour 15GB+ Premiere Pro 2023 video edits take

You said the USB-C port is "DisplayPort N which means you can directly connect it to your GPU". I've been trying to figure this out since on mine it seems that this port is connected to the Intel UHD graphics rather than the Nvidia GPU. Any idea if it's possible to connect it to the Nvidia? I bought it to use with the Valve Index which requires a DisplayPort connected to the dedicated graphics card... starting to think I may have screwed myself over!

Buy the intel 13th version and get gtx 4050 if budget allow. Or rtx 3050 6gb if possible. Why ? Because there is a bios update for intel ver g15 to use mux switch and 6gb is least exp for esports games as well as casual games.

Same concern. Dell 15 (i7, 4060, 16gb and Legion 5i 16 (i7-Windows 11 Home-16GB-1TB). Price is higher on Legion. Lenovo’s display is better (brightness), higher refresh rate on Dell but as the statement above on the review, 360hz is an overkill. Memory is better as Dell has GDDR5 vs GDDR6 on Legion. My first pick before checking on specs online was Dell, however, if I’ll be having an extra £200-£300, I’ll go with Lenovo.

[@SupersonicSpinach]

Whoever thought the internal design of the g15 was a good idea, needs to rethink their life choices. Even on paper, the design choice to invert the heatsink onto the top is just a bizarre and pointless, as the temps are pathetic , heat dissipation is mediocre and makes the thermal repaste a damn tiring chore. It looks sturdy and gamery, but yeah the thermal solutions are a huge bellyflop into concrete imo.

I wouldn't mind some gaming but I'll mostly use it for Photoshop drawing with a screen tablet and beginer level Blender/Zbrush sculpting... The amount of near identical specs on the market make a laptop choice a little tedious! Videos like yours help!

Has anyone used this for Adobe graphics suite: Photoshop, illustrator, In Design, etc

I run Photoshop 2020 and Premiere Pro 2023 on mine and it's absolutely flawless. We record 2-3 hour video podcast episodes, so I'm editing 8 video + 2 audio tracks through Premiere Pro, and export times for 1080p 60fps are under 20 minutes with 15-20GB file sizes. Photoshop usage is a little more basic, but it fully loads in about 6 seconds and I have yet to see it hang while editing, using daily for about a year.

Lol why so much hate here for g15 i am still rocking mine...it all depends on what config and at what price you buy. I got min 2yrs ago and mine costed same as other laptops while crushing them in benchmarks😂

Dont compared 2023 version and your version because different price and hardware combo

G15 2021 model is regarded one of the best gaming laptops that year. Seems Dell got complacent and didn't innovate their G15 lineup since.

I got the 13650hx with 4050 and it throttles at the beginning of cincebench r23 when it's in performance mode in Alienware command center. In balance mode it restricts the wattage to keep temps cool. It's just 6 days since purchase. Should I keep it or seek refund.

Got the exact configuration and I am facing the same issue.
