Dell G16 7630 Gaming Laptop, 16"" QHD Display, Intel Core i9-13900HX, 64 GB DDR5 RAM, 2 TB NVMe SSD, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070, Backlit Keyboard, Windows 11 Home, Metallic Nightshade, Dark Gray

Horrible computer! Freezes everytime, I've already update the drivers, reinstall the OS. Doesn't work! Do a favor for yourself and don't buy it in any hypothesis!!!

1. Power supply is soo big, heavy and don't fit on the lap top soft case. 2. The battery even full charge it's only last for 3 hours. Just enough for a quick meeting hook up on a overhead projector. 3. It runs hot, hotter than my two old dell laptops. Can't operate on your lap. Aside from the above items it's great, boot up very quick. I use it with solid works CAD and perform very well.

It runs very hot (hot enough to burn if you touch the wrong places when doing graphics intensive work). Could use a fingerprint scanner since the camera isn't supported by Windows Hello. (I like biometric logins.) Adequate for high resolution graphic design. I'm not a gamer.

I'm going to write a review I wish I could of read. Jumping into it, this gaming laptop is severely underrated. Cooling / Heat: I only use this laptop with the Llano V12 cooling pad. It works great with some laptops, okay with others, and not at all with some. Fortunately, this laptop pairs incredibly well with it. If you get this cooling pad and update all your drivers and the BIOS, you should never have a hot laptop—ever. On performance mode via Alien Command Center, I can run this laptop for hours at full throttle, and it never exceeds 70 degrees Celsius. That’s a bold claim, but I back it up with tools like MSI Afterburner (for GPU monitoring), Samsung Magician (for SSD monitoring), and HWMonitor (for overall system monitoring), and the results blow me away. This cool performance is thanks to recent updates and my consistent use of the V12 cooling pad. The laptop never feels hot to the touch—just slightly warm in the upper right corner, and even that’s minimal.Performance: I have the i9, 4070 version, and I upgraded the SSD to a Samsung 990 Pro 4TB. With everything updated, this laptop is ridiculously fast. On my 4K Hisense U8N, demanding games hit FPS ranges of 60 to 85. On my 1440p 240Hz Asus monitor, everything I’ve tested averages 120fps or higher. Nothing dips below 100 fps, even with maxed-out settings. Look: This is subjective, but I think it’s beautiful. I got the white one, and the RGB strikes a perfect balance—minimal enough to avoid looking like a carnival spaceship, yet present enough to feel stylish and legit. For me, it’s spot-on. The build quality is solid, and it exudes quality all around. Pains: Fresh installing Windows via USB requires a second USB to install multiple drivers so the computer can recognize the SSD you want to use. Figuring this out took a lot of trial and error—even Dell support couldn’t help, and I ended up relying on AI to crack it. The easiest workaround is to grab a $20 SSD external reader and clone the stock SSD to the new one, one-to-one (a tip for anyone out there). The power brick is massive, which isn’t a problem for me since I only need portability around the house, but it could be a hassle for someone on the go. Overclocking? Don’t bother. When I tried it, the performance boost was barely noticeable, and after an hour, it bricked my computer. Even a slight voltage increase was too much, and the tiny gains weren’t worth the risk.I snagged this for $1,600 before tax, upgrades, and accessories. (GET the cooling pad, especially if you’re worried about heat, it transforms the temperature so much it feels like a different machine.) The next tier laptops starts at $2,600 minimum (4080/4090 etc) so compared to that, this laptop is worth every penny. I’ve got no complaints once everything’s dialed in. I can’t stress enough how much the newer BIOS and driver updates from late 2024 and 2025 improve this machine’s performance.

I WILL NEVER BUY A DELL AGAIN! We got this laptop for my son, who is in a PHD program. One month after the warrentee ended, the motherboard died. We've sent it back to Dell at our cost and they sent it back in pieces without fixing anything. My husband is on the phone right now about to bust a gut because they are doing nothing for us. Don't spend this much money on something that only lasts a year. It is NOT worth it!

This laptop doesn't seem to like it when you use all 3 USB ports at the same time. It runs pretty hot, but I kinda expected that, but I didn't expect it to be part Alienware laptop. I'm not sure if I would buy it again or not, but I will let you know with a follow-up later on. Also, get Linux installed on this laptop was a real challenge for me. Windows 11 is like some kind of abortion that lived. I HATE Windows since Windows 7 and will only use Linux from now on.

I bought dell 5 to 6 months back, one time screen controls is not adjusting warning, one time the fan is not responding, now he's restarting alone, I'm so mad, I paid around 23 hundreds to receive this quality of laptop, take note that i used laptops all my life for land surveying, this one still empty with no mapping programs ...

Takes a bit of doing to get it all set up and all the bloatware removed (McAfee in particular) but is running just fine. Of course, still getting the "Your system does not meet the new minimum requirements" warning in the Meta program. Which I was hoping this laptop would not get since it exceeded all those specs when I bought it. But, it is what it is. AND, MS flight sim & X-Plane 12 pretty much work with the Meta quest 2 and that's what I wanted. X-Plane 12 is a bit too jerky to use for long but out of VR it works great. Still, an internal DVD drive would be nice. Oh, needs at least 2 more USB connections.
