About this deal

However, do not write it off yet as you may find out that its performance more than compensates for its unattractive looks! For context, this weight is lighter than that of some cheap gaming laptops, such as the Acer Nitro 5 (5.51 pounds), but heavier than others, such as the MSI Bravo 15 (4.1 pounds). You generally have to pay more for super-slim and light systems (especially gaming laptops) like the Razer Blade 15 or MSI Stealth 15M, so this is reasonable for a budget machine. If you’re really concerned with portability, there is a new wave of 14-inch laptops, as well, but they’re a bit beyond budget-tier pricing.

Hard drive retention: Hard drive retention is not available on models with a soldered hard drive, including XPS 9315 2in1, Chromebooks or Venue tablets, except the Venue 11 Pro. Furthermore, the Dell G3 15 3579 scored 3050 on a PCMark 10 test. Unfortunately, it was unable to surpass the 3900 average score.I produced 57 words per minute on the 10fastfingers.com typing test, falling below my typical 60-wpm average. The keys travel 1.2 millimeters and require 71 grams of actuation force. We normally look for travel in the 1.5-to-2.0-mm range and a minimum force of 60 grams. Graphics cards options are more of the same – GTX 1050 and GTX 1060 – with a couple of newer options – GTX 1650 and GTX 1660 Ti – thrown in. This will be plenty powerful enough for battle royale titles, and you should (just about) be able to run AAA games too, albeit at lower settings. If you’re an enthusiast, missing out on 60fps on maximum settings may be disappointing, but you can’t necessarily expect that in this price range. The medium-quality settings show that you can dial down some bells and whistles to achieve better than 60fps, though, which is an acceptable solution for a budget machine.

The keyboard itself is one of the best parts of the laptop. It has good spacing between its keys and it is very comfortable for typing. The G3 15 and G5 15 SE's both offer impressive battery life for a pair of gaming laptops. After they continuously surfed the web over Wi-Fi at 150 nits of brightness, the G5 15 SE survived 6 hours and 53 minutes, while the G3 15 lasted 6 hours and 41 minutes. No matter which model you choose, you're going to get great battery life. On our HandBrake test, the G3 15 took 13 minutes and 16 seconds to transcode a 4K video to 1080p. It beat the 14:37 category average and 7REX's 14:11 but got shown up by the TUF's 11:15.

Display - 144 Hz screen with good colours

The G3 15 came out slightly on top on the SteamVR Performance Test, scoring 5.8 out of 11, compared with the G5 15 SE's 5.6. Dell offers a wide range of configurations for this laptop’s RAM. You can buy Dell G3 15 3579 with a RAM capacity ranging from 4 GB up to 32 GB DDR4.

While the demo model I saw at Computex 2019 was not a 144Hz model, the screen did look very good – it certainly didn’t exhibit the poor viewing angles of the previous version.

For the price, this is one of the best performing gaming laptops on the market. On a CrystalDiskMark test, the Dell G3 15 3579 offered a sequential read speed of 107.2 MBps and a sequential write speed of 53.5 MBps. Furthermore, the Dell G3 15 3579 copied a 4.97 GB multimedia file in 42 seconds at a very slow rate of 121 MBps.Next is Maxon's CPU-crunching Cinebench R15 test, which is fully threaded to make use of all available processor cores and threads. Cinebench stresses the CPU rather than the GPU to render a complex image. The result is a proprietary score indicating a PC's suitability for processor-intensive workloads.

On the Geekbench 4 overall performance test, the G3 15 scored a solid 13,227. That sails past the 11,610 entry-level-gaming-laptop average, as well as the MSI GL62M 7REX's 11,817 (i7-7700HQ), the Asus TUF Gaming FX504's 12,038 (i5-8300H) and the Lenovo Legion Y520's 13,037 (i7-7700HQ). Another interesting thing about this laptop’s battery life is its recharge time. The Dell G3 15 3579 charges from empty to full capacity in 2 hours like most regular laptops.

Whether it was Shadow of the Tomb Raider or Civilization VI, I was able to get the games running after a bit of tweaking in the video settings. Bear in mind though, even after dropping the graphics settings to medium or low for these two titles, I couldn’t better 30fps. According to our colorimeter, the G3 15's panel covers a crushingly low 61 percent of the sRGB color gamut. (We consider anything 100 percent and above to be acceptable.) The Asus TUF Gaming FX504 and the Lenovo Legion Y520 covered only 66 and 68 percent, respectively, while the MSI GL62M 7REX took the throne with an impressive 153 percent. In conclusion, this laptop’s design is too modest in comparison with other gaming laptops. Its overall design doesn’t leave much to be desired aside from its rigidity. The G3 15 Gaming's battery life is impressive for a gaming laptop, lasting 6 hours and 37 minutes while continuously browsing the web over Wi-Fi at 150 nits of brightness. If you haven’t seen the Dell G3 15 3579 before, I can bet you have a completely wrong pictorial imagination of the laptop. The Dell G3 15 3579 doesn’t look like most modern gaming laptops.
