Customer Ratings & Reviews

Good laptop. Was able to score an open box unit for about $150 less than retail. My only complaint Is the 8gb of Ram.

Quality laptop for the price. Would recommend wearing headphones due to the fans getting quite loud.

This was purchased as a gift and runs very smooth without any problems. The graphics are great the memory speed and resolution on display is excellent and is great for everyday use or even more use as a computer for school work or anything else that may be challenging. This laptop makes it easier to do.

Bought this for my 6th grader. They have no complaints and like it very much. Used for online gaming and web surfing.

Would leave zero starts if possible. No wonder this laptop us currently on clearance, DO NOT BUY! As with other negative reviews, we have owned this laptop for only 15 months and during the pandemic where it never left the house since there was no where to go and the hinge has broken. Many other people apparently have this same issue, but when contacting Dell they said is not covered under warranty anyway as it is a "wear and tear" issue. What wear and tear? What laptop can't handle regular indoor desk use and still breaks the main hinge component within a little more than a year? I guess it is time for a new laptop and we will never purchase another Dell ever again.

Priced right. The backlit keyboard is a plus and the graphics are awesome on the display.

Great size for me and great features. Bought this laptop to actually write a book and I've only owned desktop computers before this. Love my Dell Laptop! Easy to tote around and love this size as it offers a bigger keyboard for my purposes. Would recommend this product!

Bought not for gaming, but a student needing a robust tool for CS, physics, and math. Works great. A little heavy.

Like the computer very much. It is a gaming computer so it has very good power. It is more powerful then my tower computer. It also has a plug so I get hook up to the internet with a wire rather then using WiFi. This was an out of the box item, but still very good.

Its an ok laptop. Battery life needs to be better to be a go to machine.

I got this to play the iracing sim and works perfect. Hooked up wheels and pedals but needed to hook up more usbs for keyboard and gaming mouse. HDMI works with no lag using my tv screen as a second screen also. All around great gaming pc for what im using it for.

Wasn't too sure about the 4 core processor, but man this is a great machine. When in performance gaming mode the fan spins up like a turbine and keeps it running like a well oiled machine... Definitely recommend an external hard drive for serious gamers....

This version of the G3 is a pretty good step in the right direction from the previous version G3. To me, it seems to be of a slightly better build quality with a slightly smaller form factor. The screen bezels are smaller, and the plastic feel is a bit more refined. If plastic can be called refined. With a single USB 3 type A port, USB C port, HDMI and ethernet on the left. The right-side houses what is an odd choice, two USB 2 type A ports and an SD card reader slot. Why they chose USB 2 ports is beyond me since USB 3 is backwards compatible. The GTX 1660Ti Max-Q version is plenty capable of playing most of todays games with settings on high. The video card is on par with the desktop GTX 1060 as far as fps go in most games. I have ran Borderlands 3 and COD Black Ops 4 with no problem with most everything on high or ultra at 1920 x 1080 and have not had any problems. The 8GB of ram is a little light for a “gaming” laptop but I haven’t really noticed that to be much of a problem. The 512GB NVMe SSD hard drive is more than capable of making quick work of most tasks. Programs open and run quickly, and boot times are minimal. Of course, the more ram the better and some day I will upgrade to the max of 32GB. 260-Pin SO-DIMM DDR4 2666 (PC4 21300) is what is compatible with this machine. The bottom is a bit of chore to take off since you need to remove ten screws and gently pry the entire bottom off. Would have been nice to have a single screw with cover for access to the memory. All things being said, this is a really solid laptop and has replaced my aging i5-2600 gaming desktop with flying colors.

Runs great, need to upgrade ram and add another harddrive but good overall value for the price.

Purchased for my 16 year old and he loves it. Uses it for gaming and school work both.

I returned my laptop. I hadn't transferred files so didn't have much on it. The fan would turn on every few minutes and I found that it was very annoying because it was fairly loud. I wasn't using it for gaming, just for everyday purposes. Bought it because I wanted a workhorse that would last but had to return because of the fan noise.

Ideal for gaming and good features, may not be so much useful for other purpose.

About a month after purchasing, I started receiving an error message upon booting that the AC power adapter wattage and type cannot be determined. The laptop has to be constantly plugged in, and even then was reading at 9% (it's now at 7%). I'm having a tech come out and service it, but I'm never buying anything from Dell again.

I bought this as a bundle to work with the Oculus Rifts S and it is not compatible. No one at Best Buy even seems to understand why it’s not even after explaining the situation to them. Rift S comes with a DP port connector which most laptops don’t have. For the most part you will have to get a 1k laptop and up for this feature.

one thing that caught my attention at first was the weight of this laptop. It’s 6 pounds, I haven’t used previous versions of the G3 but let’s just say this G3 is not too portable as I would like it to be, either way the 15.6 screen is nice it doesn’t feel bulky like other laptops. The G3 has a 9th generation intel core i5 and 8GB RAM. It also includes a Nvidia GeForce GTX 1660 Ti. It also includes 512 GB SSD which I like! The thing I like about this computer is you can add HDD and you can upgrade your RAM. Pretty cool The speakers are not as good as I hoped. I like to play my games loud. I notice there will be a buzz sound almost like they are being over worked. I think it might be an issue for some but I used headphones a lot so I didn’t think it was a big deal. Display is at 60 Hz FHD IPS. Not bad I would prefer a higher rate but this will do. The picture is still sharp although the colors can look bland at times. The G3 includes a Type C USB port, headphone jack, Ethernet jack, USB 3.1, 2 USB 2.0, SD card reader and power port. I didn’t really see anything about the battery life but while using it fully charged and streaming it last a little over 4 hrs with full brightness on. Overall I think this is a great value for any PC gamer. It’s a decent price if you don’t like the specs you can always upgrade and it will run to your liking. I like that you can customize your laptop performance using the Alienware command centre to adjust your CPU, fan speed, and GPU. I would recommend!
