Dell G3 15 3500
Gaming LaptopProduct Gallery
Product Overview
Dell G3 15 3500 is the entry-level option in Dell's 2020 G-series gaming laptop lineup. Its feature set is roughly comparable to the Inspiron 15 7501, though the GeForce GTX 1650 graphics card comes as standard and a 1660 Ti option is available.
Designed for gaming, the FHD panels on the G3 15 3500 prioritizes refresh rate, delivering 120 or 144Hz. Slotted at the entry-level, however, Dell has refrained from adding too many bells and whistles.
Dell also markets the G5 15 5500 and G7 15 7500 gaming laptops in the 15-inch class.

Reviewer score 65% (normalized by Neofiliac)The Dell G3 15 isn't remarkable in its design or performance, but it's a competent full HD gaming machine with a fast display at a nice price. It isn't the budget value, but the MSI Nitro 5 roughly equal in performance for even less money. If you like the look of the G3, you can configure it with a bit more storage and memory, which we'd recommend if you have the budget.
Pros
- Attractive design
- Good battery life
- Comfortable keyboard
Cons
- Display is not high-refresh
- No Thunderbolt 3
