Our take on the Dell G15 15.6" FHD Gaming Laptop

The Dell G15 is Dell's entry-level gaming laptop, here in a 15.6-inch FHD configuration with an Intel Core i9 and an RTX 4060. The i9 is more CPU than this tier usually carries, so it handles heavy multitasking and CPU-bound games well, while the RTX 4060 covers 1080p gaming at high settings with DLSS. It suits gamers who want maximum processing power for the money and will keep it plugged in. Against rivals like the Lenovo LOQ and Acer Nitro, it trades some portability and battery life for raw CPU muscle.

Questions and answers

Is the RTX 4060 enough for modern games?

Yes at 1080p. It runs most current titles at high settings, and DLSS helps on the heaviest ones. It is not a 1440p or 4K card.

Can I upgrade the RAM and storage?

Yes. The G15 has accessible memory slots and an M.2 slot, so both can be increased after purchase.

How is it for carrying to class?

It is on the heavy side and the power brick adds more weight. It works as a desk machine more than a daily commuter.

Does the i9 make it better than RTX 4060 rivals?

The i9 helps in CPU-heavy games and multitasking, but in most games the GPU matters more. Rivals with the same GPU perform similarly in play.

What is in the box?

The laptop and its power adapter. A mouse and headset are not included.
