Dell G5 15 SE (2020) Review - This All-AMD Notebook Is DIFFERENT

[@antony209494]

The crap build quality for AMD laptops HAS TO STOP! AMD has the better product now! It is really unfair that OEMs still make them crappy-built so they are less desirable than Intels' (deliberately?). Remember when Steve from HUB said that Intel paid OEMs to make AMD laptops in "undesirable colors" so they would not be picked over Intel's? This is exactly what this feels like to me! Anyone else feels the same or am I being paranoid here?

[@rubaiyatmehedi9337]

Yup that how capitalism works. Once you're at the top of the ladder you get to manipulate literally anything you want💸💸

[@therevanchist1123]

I think it just takes time. This is all new and you are expecting the same quality for AMD laptops vs Intel that they’ve been putting out for years and have way more experience working with especially Dell who has a very close relationship with Intel, I’m actually surprised they’ve gotten them out so fast. Wait for next round it will be better.

[@CianMcsweeney]

@@therevanchist1123 I mean there's nothing stopping oems from just sticking amd CPUs in their existing Intel designs 🤷

[@myxsys]

I feel exactly the same way. Dell and Asus are doing are great disservice towards AMD hardware. I'll be going with Eluktronics Ryzen laptop for my next purchase.

[@Montisaquadeis]

@@CianMcsweeney right? and the coolers would actually be able to handle the AMD CPUS better then the intel ones LOL so yeah it honestly feels like a ploy from Intel to once again push down AMD laptops for their more expensive chips which are less powerful then similar priced amd ones and amd would honestly be even cheaper for better performance.

[@mohamedachab3604]

It's just the fact that nobody knew how new amd laptop cpu's would perform, the laptops are designed way earlier than the relese, that's why the OEMs put them in few models and not in theyr top of the line, next year we'll see an amd dominance imo

I actually really like the design. One of the main reasons I purchased this over some other "gaming laptop." Am I the only one who despises the crazy "gaming" looks of other computers? I want something that is more of a sleeper, business-y look but can run games very well.

[@NishManoj]

I'm planning to buy one for Christmas, how's the build quality? A lot of reviews called it flimsy and not great 😬

[@airops423]

​@@NishManoj Yeah, really not sure what they were expecting for a budget gaming laptop. Is it Apple build quality? Of course not. Is the build quality so bad that I am worried about it breaking? Absolutely not. Exactly what I would expect for the price. At this price range, I would expect to pay for good gaming performance, maybe followed by screen and battery, then aesthetics and build quality. This laptop has its priorities in order. I bought it used for $550 and upgraded the RAM and SSD. I don't bring it anywhere, just swap out my monitor's USB-C cord from my MacBook Pro to the G5 when I want to play games. Works well and great value. There are a number of things you can do to get better performance and fix thermals if you want; there is a subreddit dedicated to this laptop because of all those quirks. Just depends how tech-savvy you are and how much time you want to put into it.

[@NishManoj]

@@airops423 ahh peace. That's all I really need. This is my first gaming laptop and all the others in the price range do have 5600Hs but with 3050/1650/5500Ms Figured I'd take a small CPU hit and get a better graphics card Can you drop the reddit link?

[@zipzeolocke2]

For those hardware specs and display in the AMD version for that price looks like an incredible deal to me! Knowing that I don't mind the cheap looking appearance at all. It's not like it looks terrible, it just looks like a casual generic standard boring laptop. And I think that's fine if it brings the price down.

[@pranjaldangwal1425]

[@Z020852]

I never really had a problem with "Dell Grey" on looks. It's when you touch it that it you feel and hear problems. Thinkpads can look boring as hell but in the same way that a black SUV is boring until you see red plates on it and some agent steps out.

[@jostimantatarigan7657]

The funny part is that even if Dell bumps the price by USD100-150, it will still be a better option compared to Intel (performance-wise). I wonder why they didn't do much effort into the design. Does intel sabotage AMD through brands?

[@ANONAMEMO]

I just bought my Dell G5 Se with R7 4800h. I would say, the design is actually not bad. It looks nice but not really great. And yeah, the thermal issue are seriously real. I was using it for about 15 min and the top side of the keyboard just below the screen is really hot. It feels like I have been using it for a an hour of gaming. And just to think, I was only surfing in the Microsoft edge. But fortunately, I came prepared with this. So I'm updating all drivers in windows update and also Dell Update App and also with dell support assist application.

[@kodefashmodefa]

my beef with these laptop makers is they make a capable gaming laptop that is great for photo and video dabbling, but its comes with high refresh rate screens at 1080p. not useful for the photo/video crowd. as soon as something gets labeled for "creators" the price goes up quickly, there's never a middle ground device.

It looks like I found a new heater for this winter! I really appreciate you guys spending extra time with the machine instead of pumping out a review after a few days of use!

[@tim3172]

You do realize that the actual heat output is a function of how much power is consumed, right? If the CPU operates at 30 watts and 40 degrees C it outputs 30 watts of heat. If the CPU operates at 30 watts and 100 degrees C it outputs 30 watts of heat. Somewhat ironically a 'cooler' running CPU will usually output more external heat due to it being allowed to throttle up.

[@HardwareCanucks]

@@tim3172 The problem here is the temperatures put out by the GPU. Navi just doesn't seem suited for notebooks.

Looking at the cooling performance of this notebook as well as the cooling hardware. I was hoping the last test is to re-paste the thermal compound with kyronaut and see if it's due to poor out of factory thermal paste... But... You didn't. That's a little disappointing

The pricing is ok tho. looks like HP has lowered the base price of the devices to adjust for the taxes. if they put the same screens as on the US versions and more configurations for sale, it would've been the perfect high-midrange gaming laptop in india. @80-100K rupees. the zephyrus g14 and 15 both are THE best laptops on the market right now, except that they omit the webcam and run hot(not by design but due to a last minute decision by asus to block two of the three air intake vents using a plastic sheet just for the AMD versions; i believe that it was intel's doing so that their nuclear reactors look competitive with AMD versions); the HP omen has all the positives of zephyrus, has a great chassi, has a camera and runs cool.

For this price they should be able to make it all metal and have high speed USB.

Maybe you've already brought a laptop. But checkout Ben G Kaiser's reviews if you're still looking. He reviews laptops with focus on editing and designing perspective and not gaming.

[@battlefronthaven]

The fact that you were playing on the charger no problem hurts me. Because I just bought this and the throttling when I'm on the charger is insane it crashes my PC entirely.

[@lonzoformvp5078]

If oems still dont make more amd laptops next year, intel’s been bribing them.

[@MandoMTL]

They took top hardware and made it look terrible. It's like giving your kid expensive oil paints for finger painting.

[@HardwareCanucks]

If they don't respond to obvious customer choice, then something is really amiss....

Asus ROG strix scar 3 2020 version .is it worth to wait and buy it . can u plz make videos on ROG lappy apart from the zepyhrus model of asus ...

[@SimplyV3rna]

I highly suggest to look at the cooling solutions and coverage. Asus tuf 15 is cheap but the vrms are not cooled with a heatsink. It needed to make intake vents smaller to let air channel through the exposed vrms

[@nakrenjam]

At this point, I don't care about the quality. I just want GPU power. There are 1650 laptops with great quality but lmao, it's the 1650.

[@patrickwingert2018]

The new 2021 version has been announced and will be out on April 20th. I am waiting to see that review!

I find the test is kinda skewed because there’s a lot to be said about what’s not in there. Comparing a sub $900 laptop with an RTX2060/70/80 and a RX5500M is only telling half the story if you don’t include at least a 1660ti laptop which is priced about the same as this laptop, you could even include a GTX1650 to make it stand out, because a lot of laptops are still to this day coming with this chip and priced around the same as the G5 SE. Then, about USB ports I wonder what kind of peripheral you would need that use the faster protocol, most of the time you would probably add a mouse or a headset, do you really need a USB3 port for these ? I don’t think so, so a single USB3 might make more sense and then you might use the type C port for some docking station which will add all the ports you’d need when you’re not on the go. As far as overheating goes I’m waiting for mine to see what could be done, but this is my biggest concern about this laptop, I wonder how much lifespan there’s in it if it’s constantly reaching high temperatures, but this is true for a lot of laptops, the A15 exhibit the same issue with poorly designed vents for instance. Anyway, in terms of bang for the buck it’s hard to find better than this laptop in this price range IMO, every brand is cutting corners here or there. So either you recommend a ROG Zephyrus 14 or you accept the compromise being made.

Hi hardware chunks can you make a laptop watercool it is tuf and hard can you do this

[@matthewdaley7535]

How far behind are the integrated graphics compared to the RX5600M or RTX2060? Surely you would double battery life or more and reduce the price by $100 by deleting the discrete GPU. How much performance would you lose?

[@nderubis]

i have a g15 SE and there is no creaking or squeaking from the screen hinge or bottom panel at all. i think he just had really bad luck with the one he got.

[@harshitrajput9254]

I have read so many review on Dell website that this laptop keep crashing after 5 min while playing any game please help as I also want to buy this laptop

[@Stevenyc69]

I don’t know where you got this info. I own one and never had that issue. My game has only crashed once.

[@rishiray92]

Should I get this, i.e. Dell G5 15SE (the base variant) or should I buy the HP Omen 15 with Ryzen 4600H. The Omen has GTX 1650ti but better thermals. I want a laptop for daily use with some casual gaming like FIFA, and the laptop needs to last for around 4 years. Thanks.

[@ShivendraNagraj]

My Friend's Dell G3 i5-9300H quickly went 90-95°C when I tried to benchmark it. I don't like their cooling system.

[@ayushpathania5500]

Change thermal paste

GOOD REVIEW.GOOD JOB

[@stannisbaratheon6884]

disliked. You can't be so overly critical with a laptop for making cuts in build quality for the sake of price. You expect too much out of this price range and your review quality is poor as a result. You focus too much on thermals and things that are trivial for a laptop designed for affordable gaming in mind. This is a gaming laptop and you skimped on the gaming performance benchmarks for individual games which are more important for what this laptop is made for. Also you're in Canada so you should know that the price for the A15 is obnoxious. You get results for the F15 instead its so scarce. So you should not recommend that laptop against this one. Please do better next time I'm surprised you don't have more dislikes on this video.

[@omcena]

When is your omen 15 review? Also omen 15 or legion 5 when both with rtx 2060 gpus or at least 1660ti

[@asd-dr9cf]

A dumb question but is there a difference in terms of ports, thermal system, etc between the newer black design of the G5s vs the older silver ones?

[@vishnuprasathkv]

@hardware Canucks Love your channel man !! Contents are super Crisp...

[@CaptainBroadSword]

Hey, just came across this video while looking for a new laptop and I have a question!!! If you're willing to answer it, it would be very helpful. Should I buy the AMD GPU or the Nvidia GPU?? I looked into the differences and there's always a slight bump in performance. I was comparing Zephyrus G14 and the G5SE...... BTW!!

[@zai293]

Dude the price different is like 300 more higher with zephyrus, but one thing u should know, the amd worked so hard with their navi drivers and that smartshift feature, the latest update that i've seen is that gpu can beat the rtx 2060 in all scenarios for that cheap cost and build design

[@00Klingon]

I'm surprised this comes with a Kensington locking port since Dell has moved to a Noble lock design in all other models for years now.

[@MathMan271]

can we get some white color options for laptops with these vendors? why are all laptops crappy dark gray or underwhelming version of silver

[@sripalreddy9233]

I want to buy a new laptop. Should I buy this dell g5 SE amd ryzen 5 hexacore ? My main concern is about heating issue.I am very scared of it. What should I buy then? Or Is this ok?

[@AyushSingh-js3rf]

I Went to Dell Showroom Today and Build Quality was Great I Felt Like and Idiot there It's a Scratch magnet though Hinge is Good and No screen wobble

[@JC_BOY]

I got this laptop for $500, apart from the problem that I can't use the 5600m on Minecraft but runs on other games. I would gladly say I got a great deal.

[@tirosc]

Still waiting for that amazing AMD laptop. 2021 it is.

Hello. Would you take the Lenovo 7i or MSI GS66 stealth as your only PC, and why?

[@leethunder758]

Hi, for how long should charge it for the first time? 🙏🏼 thank you

[@jazsteevionbenson6144]

I know this is unrelated but what is that wrist watch Eber? Looks great!

[@rand0m162]

It cost +$700 for that same gpu on a MacBook Pro now that says a lot

[@chan625]

Does RX5600m support Radeon Image Sharpening & CAS? It's perhaps not as potent as DLSS but will still make sense to get this over 1660ti laptop

[@nemtudom5074]

The question is, do you want to spend hundreds of dollars on a laptop shell that doesn't creak? Cause i dont.
