Dell Gaming G3 15 3500, 15.6 inch FHD Non-Touch Laptop - Intel Core i7-10750H, 16GB DDR4 RAM, 512GB SSD, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 6GB GDDR6, Windows 10 Home - Black

Laptop display stopped working within 2 days. Its Air vents are faced near display which get heated up when GPU turns hot.

The laptop has some amazing specs for its price and you will have a hard time finding something similar. The 3060 is a downgraded 3060 as to not overheat the machine. The materials of the laptop are well put together and it in terms of performance it keeps up with some of the beefier desktop PCs.

Best laptop I have owned. A lot of tech for the money. Runs smoothly no matter the task. Games like Microsoft Flight Sim and Halo run great. I don’t find that it gets too hot. Fans spin up, but that is expected. Beautiful screen. I had low expectations here, so surprised. Movies look amazing. Very user upgradable. I added a second HD (1 TB). I upgraded to 32G RAM. Super easy. Battery life is just ok, but didn’t expect too much from a gaming laptop. Keyboard and backlight is nice. Dell software for updates and maintenance is a nice plus. Alien Software also a nice surprise,. Laptop is nice just for web browsing, personal/business work and when want to play games it performs. Highly recommended. I like the design. Plenty of ports and I find they are well placed.

Pros: the graphics card is decent and can handle all current AAA titles. There is no stream or epic, Xbox, Amazon Luna or stadia game I could throw at this laptop and it couldn’t play in high or ultra. The screen is great looks good and I love watching 1080p video on it. It has an expansion slot for a M.2 drive I added a 2TB to mine. CONS: the battery life is not great. Gaming it’ll last about 3 hours and regular use about 5 hours. The keyboard is backlit but you can’t see the keys without the backlight. You can’t keep the backlight on or choose when it going out on the G3 you can on the G5 but not this one. All in all this is a good laptop, I’m having a ball with it. Emulation is great. There is no emulator it won’t run. For major gamers it might not fit the Bill. However for casual gamers it’ll be great. Anyone who just uses it for work or school and a little gaming it’ll be awesome.

Both some keys and the pannel supporting the keys broke. My computer is now completely unusable after a single year of normal use because my S and D key popped out or literally snapped in half and the board over my P key brok and is blocking the dash key. I'm very sad about this because it was a big investment for me due to COVID and the warranty already expired so I can't replace it or buy a new computer.

I've seen the complaints of excess heat. Hey-it has a graphics card and an I7, they're going to generate heat. After several hours intense game play I measured the case temperature at the bottom under the screen and found it's about 120 degrees F (49 C) . That's uncomfortable on my lap ( I sure wouldn't want to play while wearing shorts). No problem if it's on a lap desk or any type of board or table. That back edge on the bottom is where all the heat is (and the fans are.) The lap desk is my choice for lounging. When not gaming the computer winds down until the case is cool to the touch. In either mode the fans are quiet. Yes you can hear them in game mode but they're not intrusive. Speed is good for gaming, equal to a nice middle of the road desktop. On most first person type games I get a frame rate of about 60-90 FPS. Two examples: Conan Exiles; 58-60, Far Cry 5; 88-90, Subnautica 90 or so. Games with simpler graphics (Phasmophobia and the like 130FPS). If you like lounging around in an easy chair-or need a laptop so you can move your computer for work or school around this computer works just great. I added an extra 1 TB drive (I've got games that take 100Gb), be sure to buy a M.2 NVMe drive for the second bay. Check the Q&A for specifications. Dell provides installation instructions online.
