Dell Gaming G3 15 3500 - 15.6 Inch FHD, Intel Core i7-10750H 10th Gen, 16GB DDR4 RAM, 512GB SSD, Nvidia Geforce GTX 1650 Ti 4GB GDDR6, Windows 10 Home Eclipse Black

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.

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.

I read a bunch of negative reviews, so I wanted to add a positive one. We are an Apple Computer household and as Apple people know, a lot of games don’t run well on Apple computers, or run at all. After having multiple problems with my games, I decided to buy a Windows laptop strictly for gaming, and some business applications. This computer does everything I need it to do. I have never had any problems with it, starting from it showing up on my doorstep and the graphic resolution is great. The fans run quiet. My games run fine, I don’t have to turn down resolution settings, and games don’t crash on me anymore. Yes there is no DVD drive, but most computers, especially laptops, no longer include DVD drives. I’ve had the laptop for over 7 months now and am still satisfied with it.

Mostly good. I've had this laptop since May 2021. When I first got it out of the box, I called Dell, and a tech there set the whole thing up remotely for me. I took him about an hour, but it might have taken me forever by myself. It's all good, except -- (and none of these are deal breakers in my opinion):1) The laptop tends to run hot. I have a VR headset and when the laptop is connected to that, either with a cable or wirelessly, the laptop gets really hot, especially the keyboard, and the fans run like crazy. Of course, I'm not using the keyboard when I'm using the VR headset. I called Dell and the lady said it will be OK, and I posted to a VR headset FB page, and the advice there was not to adjust the settings, and that it will be OK -- but it gets really hot -- almost immediately upon cranking up the VR connection. I never use the VR with the laptop for over 1/2 hour at a time because I'm concerned, even though I've been told it will be OK. I'm new to VR and gaming laptops, and maybe computers are with VR just are hot and their fans run like crazy. I'm always very careful to make sure air can get underneath the laptop.2) The charger cord has a HUGE heavy charger box associated with it. I guess that's for surge protection. My main problem with it isn't the size or weight. It is that the cord doesn't stay plugged into the charger box thing. The slightest jiggling seems to dislodge it enough that the little blue light on the cord goes off. The battery life doesn't seem to be anything spectacular, so I don't like it that it can be so easily unintentionally unplugged. I'm thinking about putting something on it to keep it plugged in.3) The housing of the laptop has a bit of a cheap feel. When opening the lid/screen, the hinge creaks a little.I got the Nvidia GForce RTX2060 graphics card and 16GB Ram. I thought that the price was good for the features. So far, despite the comments above, I'm not regretting the purchase.
