This is a gaming laptop and unless it's a Razor, Alienware X series, Legion slim, it's going to be heavy and chunky.
That being said, care to link those lighter higher performance laptops at this price you're talking about?
Firstly, you've been here long enough to know that the weight of the power brick is never mentioned in the post because usually, the manufacturers don't even mention it on their product page themselves. So saying I did not include it to make it sound deliberate, is irrelevant.
Secondly, all those laptops you mentioned have significantly smaller battery (60Whr-80Whr), except for the ASUS TUF F15 and ROG G16 which have a bigger battery but are lighter in weight, but do you see any deals on those, no and there haven't been any since months. The TUF F15 and Legion are the closest rivals and both of them have significantly inferior processors and iGPU, with the latter having only a 60Whr battery. The 83 Whr battery on this gaming laptop and the price for which it's being sold at ($764 that I originally mentioned) justifies comparatively higher weight enough. Most of the other lighter laptops are $150 or more expensive and certainly are not "comparable in price".
Thirdly, most of the laptops you just randomly name-dropped without knowing about them are not cheap, $1000 is not cheap for the specs those laptops carry. Again, Legion 5 is the only exception and once again, has an older gen processor and smaller battery to reduce the weight.
Fourthly, please explain to us how you're going to charge a 60Whr+ battery with a 45W charger. LMAO. The fact this has a bigger battery wouldn't require you to carry its brick at most times and other laptops you named, along with their brick for their smaller battery would almost equate to this one's weight.
Fifthly, next time please don't try (yet again) too hard to put across a baseless point that you embarrass yourself. Nor does editing your comment make it sound or seem any better or less rude.
If weight is what you care about the most that you are willing to sacrifice performance, battery, etc. then might as well just buy a power brick and carry it around.
The manual states that there are two SSD slots. The second slot only takes an m.2 2280 size. Looks like an easy $60 1TB upgrade.

Would this fit the bill for a business laptop for a wife that does some light graphic/editing work with 68 tabs open at once? Mobility isn't a big deal. TIA!
Bought one, thank you. For reference: paid about $680 plus tax. 10% off for a new account (it's actually my only Dell account), 10% AmEx cashback (business card), and an extra 1 MR.
(1) Does this have room for a second hard drive besides the 512gb that is included?
(2) Can I connect two external monitors?
Just want to make sure I'm not "downgrading" my current setup. I have a previous G7 and have a SSD for the OS and a second slower drive for data, and it's usually sitting on my desktop connected to two external monitors. One with HDMI and one via the USB C.
I will be following this thread in detail as I purchased one for myself. I could not resist when after my $150 off $599 statement credit hits for my AMEX I will have spent $668.53 for it with tax included. This is one heck of a deal. I even used the R cash back for "up to 5% back" so that will bring down the purchase price even further.
They have express 2 day delivery for free as well currently. I should receive it on Monday.

Yeah the R cash back for laptop is supposed to be only 1%.
It's spec temptation, but there is a good chance it will be a blue-screening machine out of the box. So either you have to install your own Windows or return it at the first sign of BSODs.

That I am not sure. It might be something related to the GPU driver. The other BSODs didn't leave a dump file to analyze.
I have the Ryzen 7 with the lower powered 4050 but it has BSOD after multiple "sleep and wake ups". I caught one memory dump.
It also developed three dead pixels over time before 30 days.
So, people better put this laptop to work to expose the potential failure points. I didn't even game on this; I bought this as sort of a "power user" office computer but the instability cannot be trusted for any sort of serious work. The BSODs can ruin a task.
It is also annoyingly heavy.

Dell also has poor quality control, I had to replace my keyboard twice. If people on here have visited subreddits like gaminglaptops, they'd know that this is not recommended over basically all competing options.
(the money saved isn't worth the hassle and multi-week wait) As usual it's easier to trust in what you already know than something new. Given my last comment it seems like people would rather not wait for a better built laptop that has more features, weighs less, and is more stable in the future when they can get something cheap and poorly built now.

I tried doing this. Customer service kept saying no, they can't apply the 10%. After some time... The manager approved the discount.
$800 @ 10% off = $720.
I have the $120 off $600 coupon using my AMEX.
$600 for this bad boy! Thank you!

Is this a serious issue with all Dell laptops?
I have the Ryzen 7 with the lower powered 4050 but it has BSOD after multiple "sleep and wake ups". I caught one memory dump.
It also developed three dead pixels over time before 30 days.
So, people better put this laptop to work to expose the potential failure points. I didn't even game on this; I bought this as sort of a "power user" office computer but the instability cannot be trusted for any sort of serious work. The BSODs can ruin a task.
