Customers have good things to say about the G5 15.6" Gaming Laptop's performance, graphics capabilities, and fast startup times thanks to its SSD. Many appreciate its ease of use and sufficient memory and storage for their needs. However, some customers find the laptop heavy and note that it can get warm and have noticeable fan noise during use. The battery life is considered adequate by most users.

    Decided to try this laptop out because I had the ASUS ROG Strix G531GT which had the 1650. I wanted a better laptop with a better battery life and thought the Dell G5 G5590 7176BLK would be a better upgrade for the price. While the setup was easy quick, the laptop seemed to have audio problems. Windows notification sounds were delayed, and the CPU fans kept on going on and off at full speed even when the laptop was on idle. I was curious on what was causing those speeds, and it turns out the CPU temp was jumping between 60-90C on idle. I thought maybe a BIOS update and updated drivers would help solve the issue, but it did not. It actually made my experience with the laptop even worst. The fans still kept on spinning randomly, and the worst part was the WiFi card started to have slow speeds. I used to get 18mbps before the updates, and after it was just at 1mbps. I tried restarting the computer and nothing changed. Build quality is really good and sturdy. The weight adds to the "premium" feel. The graphics card is nice and works just as it should, but be aware that it is the Max-Q variant. The laptop boots up fast and starts applications really quick. I just don't understand why updates would diminish the performance of the WiFi adapter. I'm going to be returning this laptop. Maybe I just had a defective one.

    I had the g3 and ended up trading it in for this one, it’s a huge different. It’s heavier but the build is so much more superior, it actually feels like a gaming laptop . Would recommend this to anyone !

    I find myself enjoying the laptop more than I thought. It's swift and can multiple games but does get a bit hot with recent titles. Also, I use the computer for school as well, so it's a plus.

    I got this as a work laptop to travel with and be able to game in my down time. It’s not ridiculously bulky like most gaming laptops so I grabbed it. Pros: comfortable fit into any type of environment, screen resolution is great when watching movies, plays most the games I travel with. Cons: does not support modded Minecraft well, war zone had to be at near minimum settings, track pad can be a bit sensitive at times then not respond at all. TLDR: overall good computer for work and minor gaming, just don’t throw any big games at it.

    The Dell - G5 15.6" with an SSD starts quickly and the 1TB HDD is great for storing my documents, photos and projects. The only problem I have is with Microsoft. They are now using their cloud for programs such as Word and Excel. Also you have to be careful to store your items on the HDD. I travel to areas where I may not have access to the internet which means I cannot access the Microsoft Cloud. My work around is to keep blank copies of Word and Excel on my HDD and work off those. This really has nothing to do with the Dell which is a great computer.

    No complaints at all, except that the operating system SSD is a little small ~250 GB. Other than that works fine for office work, gaming, etc. I like it a lot.
