Customer Ratings & Reviews

You can play basically any game in this computer in high . Only that it can be really hot sometimes ,but with a cooling pad you are ready to play for hours with no problem.

Searched a lot of options, this one fits the best for the price range offered. Good performance and sturdy shell to support the fancy looks and powerpact performance.

Very pleased with the Dell G7. Speedy and can play most games at max or high settings. I did have to tweak the CPU settings to lower the overall temperature, so keep that in mind. The i7-8750h runs hot. This has been noticed across multiple manufacturers and laptops. Fortunately, the Dell G7 was built with good ventilation. At stock, it was running at 95C; max temp is 100C. After lowering clock speeds and undervolting, the temperature now rarely hits 85C, and the fans don't spin nearly as hard as before. The laptop is running slower, but it's nothing I notice in real world usage. Still very happy with purchase.

Dell offers great value with this laptop, people will complaint about the 1060 being MaxQ but you cant find anything with the full 1060 at this price and the difference in performance is about 10% and modifications can be made to improve that. I love that the battery is very respectable when not gaming, I wish the ram was one stick of 8Gb instead of 2 x 4GB that makes it very inconvenient for an upgrade. Very solid laptop and even a Thunderbolt port which is hard to find at this price.

This laptop is amazing. The performance is a lot better than I thought it would be. The only downside is it gets hot, so don’t use it as a LAPtop

I really like this computer, very fast and I like the graphics, I can run many apps on it, but you have to have a large RAM memory. I like it

IMO The Dell G7 is all about ticking the right boxes to earn itself one of the best valued laptops when considering the main components. The 6 core/12 thread i7 is a beastly CPU which chews through any combination of tasks with ease. The 6Gig 1060 GPU is the perfect fit for gaming on a 1080p screen. I’ve done allot of gaming on this and I must say I’m surprised at what it’s able to accomplish. It’ll peg 60 FPS in the Witcher 3 with all settings maxed (besides hairworks), as well as subnautica and PUBG. With a mix of medium/high settings it’ll achieve 60 FPS in assassins creed odyssey as well. Despite only having 8 gigs of ram, I’d say it’s sufficient for now, with the goal of upgrading to 16 when prices come down. I’d say the speakers are adequate, nothing special to note and get the job done. Unfortunately only having a 256 gig M2 SSD, I was already planning on upgrading the G7. Fortunately this is easy. I knew purchasing this particular model I’d want to upgrade its storage, so I’d suggest waiting for an excellent deal on a 1TB SSD and nabbing it to upgrade. If there was one area of noticeable compromise (besides SSD size) Dell made, I would say it would be in the screen. It doesn’t get terribly bright, and doesn’t produce the best color. I can live with that, as I’m still able to hook it up to another, better quality monitor if I need to. I’ve found Battery life to be decent, with an average span of around 6 hours surfing the web, watching netflix, and even doing some light gaming such as Rimworld or other less demanding titles. The TLDR: dollar for dollar, the Dell G7 is the cheapest laptop around which comes with the 6 core i7, and 6 gig version of the 1060 gpu. This laptop has the potential to game at 1080p and perform well for many years to come and is easily upgradable when the time comes.

The machine is built well and a bit heavy, but decently portable considering it's an entry level gaming machine. Overall very happy with the purchase.

This Laptop has some amazing specs and features for the price point . I was blown away by it's performance

I love this computer and everything about it. Very fast processor, and I can have every program imaginable open at the same time with little lag

I use this computer to do simulations, and it's graphics card is perfect for running intense simulations, it can definitely take the strain.

This is one beast of a laptop let me tell you... 6 processor cores with 12 logical processing threads! Yikes! 6GB (six GB) of dedicated video RAM. For those waiting for a mobile desktop workstation (with raw power under the hood) look no further! Do the upgrades yourself re: 1TB NVMe SSD, 2TB 5400RPM HDD, and 32GB RAM. Enough power to run a full blown VMware ESXi lab on a laptop. Plus gaming on the weekends! Hint: bonus points if you score an AUO display panel which you can overclock for gaming!

Very good performances, especially thanks to SSD. Weight and size make it not very easy to carry

This was a great purchase. I'm always leery of gaming laptops for being more flash than bang, but the Dell G7 provides powerful hardware in a simple package without being bogged down by tons of bloatware. You can buy more powerful machines with fancier features, but they're going to hard pressed to perform much better than this machine, and they'll certainly cost more. The construction is solid, the specs are good. If the G7 is on your shortlist, I would recommend going for it!

This laptop is a great mid-range machine! I eventually upgraded my RAM and SSD size but in retrospect, I did'nt need. I've since upgraded to a desk top and by the way. Speaking off upgrades, super easy to swap out parts. 8Gb of ram with the I7 and the gtx 1060 is perfect for shadow of war, Halo Master cheif eddition, and anything pre PS% era, Keep in mind I bought it two years ago and it runs like a charm

Just the right balance of performance for our needs. Only down side is the weight.

I ended up returning the product within a week. The reason I took it back was because the main use for this was to run CAD software. I am not a gamer but found the gaming laptops give you more bang for your buck. Since the laptop was only 8g of ram I ended up taking it back and getting a 16g version. This is a quick laptop and might be good enough to run certain game but I found I needed just a bit more memory.

Some things good, others not quite up to snuff. I have Dell's previous Inspiron 15 7000 this is it's successor; got to say dell got some things right and others not quite right. Let's start with memory, this unit ships with 8gb, or RAM, but it's 2x4GB sticks, if youe going to stick with 8GB this is best, but if your going upgrade to 16, a 8GB would be preferable (what the previous 7000 series shipped with), now it's faster, but the maching could use up to 32GB, and for a machine with a 6 core processor and 6GB of video memory, it would help substancially with the multi-tesking. The keyboard, in my opinion is a huge upgade, it's much firmer, the key travel is longer and the spacing of the keys is slightly further apart. The width of is a little greater, and the back-lighting of the keys is done better; the previous version looks/felt like crumbs could get under the keys, not so with the G7. The track pad is a nice size, that is well positioned, its supports windows 10 gestures; like the previous version it's a little in the clicky side, where using the lowwer buttons requires a real click, some might like this others not, but is a common Dell feature, I've grown to like. The G7 adds backlighting around the track pad which is nice. The speakers/audio is probably a step down from the previous version which had small sub woofer, which is lacking in the G7, but overall the sound was pretty good; outputing to a set of JBL BT speakers was exceptional, as was streaming to Google devices. Which brings us to the exptional WiFi in the G7, putting the G7 next to my Inspiron 7000, was suprizing; I have 500mb service, and a great WiFi network (3 separate 5G routers); from 30' away the G7 achieved almost 400mb/s whic is the fastest I'd see on my network for a non-wired device (Inspiron 7000 clocked in at 320mb/s). The wired Killer Ethernet connected to the Router hit 450mb/s, peaking close my rated speed of 500. So the networking on the G7 is most excellent. The display has a nice matt finish IPS screen, it's of angle viewing is superb, the matt finish is a welcome change over the previous hightly reflective screen, much easier to work on, especially with bright lights or sunlight. This really makes the G7 a much better desktop replacement than it's predecesor. The bezel is a little wider, which I think improves the visibility. The G7 has all the latest IO ports It has three USB-A 3.1 ports and one USB-C 3.1 (with Thunderbolt [improved]) a HDMI 2.0 port and a 3.5mm Headphone/Microphone jack with a full-size SD card slot and gigabit ethernet port (RJ45). All ports are located on the sides as cooling fans blow out the back. I find all of this good. The G7 came with Toshiba KSG60ZM 256GB NVMe SSD, which I was underwelmed by. There are much faster m.2 drives available, I found this to be a big disapointment. It does support both an m.2 SSD (SATA or PCIe NVMe), and a standard SATA 2.5” drive which can be easily added. A single screw holds on the entire back of the case, removing it and peeling off the back allows easy access to the HD bay and memory. This great feature of the G7, ease of access. Well I had a new 1TB SSD I was dying to try, I dropped it in, and, even thought it used the SATA interface, it was more then twice as fast as the installed Toshiba drive. One other great function include din the G7 is the ability to RAID the m.2 drive and the SATA drive via the Intel Rapid Storage Technology controller, this is a great feature, you should investigate further (not room here). The i7-8750H CPU is the real bright spot in the G7, I'm a software devloper and do a lot of parallel tasking development, the more cores the less sluggish a PC will seem. Windows (and othe modern OS's) have been changed over the years to be much more modular (so have many modern applications) this modularity excels with more cores/threads; at this price and configuration having a total of 12 threads, this laptop can do real multitasking very smoothly (if you have sufficent memory). This combined with Nvidia GTX 1060 MaxQ w/6GB memory allows modern games to reall run nicely on a notebook. I tried several eSports games all were very smooth, no jitter hitting over 60fps. But the cooling fans of the notebook kicked in blowing more hot air out of the back of the notebook, this is not suprising, and noise from the fans is noticable, but failrly well behaved. Make sure you don't block the rear vents. I also did some photo editing and video processing which very fast and efficient (additional memory would have helped a lot here). As I said in the begining, there is a lot to like, but a few, primarly fixable (at additional cost) issues. If you look at G7 as it needs to be upgraded to reach it's full potential, then I might recommend it. It's a top notch notebook, great screen, great graphics, nice keyboard/trackpad, that needs more memory to achieve its full potential. It's a cinch to add a top of the line SATA SSD with 1 to 4 TB storage. My biggest issue is the Toshiba m.2; the G7 deserves better and for a nominal cost Dell could have/should have provided it. Upgrading the m.2 drive requires a lot of effort to keep the installed OS, still the i7-8750H is a great advance and ultimate advantage.

I am absolutely in love with this product. Its not too heavy so its great for traveling with. The battery life is about 4 hours which fits my schedule perfectly and charge times are usually about an hour to max. The GPU is great. There are so many games i was planning on avoiding this year till i got this laptop. Only issue is ram size but that is easy to upgrade.

I bought this gaming laptop to play upcoming games. I bought it when it was on sale for $880, which I think is a great deal. Overall, the laptop has great build quality. You'll be hard pressed to find decent gaming laptops with a i7-8750H + GTX 1060mq for less than $1000. Only things that might make you dislike is screen quality is only decent, bezels are fairly large and the backlit keyboard is blue, which would have been better if it was white.
