Probably trying to clear out old stock before the 5000 series G15 refresh and Alienware Ryzen systems are released in the next month.
Downgrade to BIOS 1.3 to get full performance out of it. Mine came with 1.5. 1.4.4 underclocks the CPU, so I was running into CPU bottlenecks in games such as Genshin Impact. Setup guide on Reddit [reddit.com]
Build quality is OK for the price. I'm used to Dell Business keyboards, so this one does not feel that great. The keys feel a bit smaller than full size and a bit closer than my Latitude e7450. But to be fair, that one is a 14" and is tenkeyless.
My LCD had some backlight glow on dark backgrounds, so a black screen doesn't look uniform. Kinda sucks, but I can live with it.
You have to be careful selecting RAM on this laptop. I bought 16GB of Mushkin DDR4 3200Mhz, but it only runs at 2666Mhz because the voltage or timings are different. It's still fast enough for me, but it's something to watch out for.
Mine had a second NVMe slot instead of a 2.5" slot, despite looking like the chassis can handle one. Could be an alternative version with a different motherboard had it. Perhaps the Intel version?
The bottom comes off as one large piece of plastic. Taking it on and off is a bit less smooth than it should be, but on the plus side everything is pretty accessible this way. I wouldn't want to open it up too often though.
I hear replacing the thermal paste will help with the temperatures, but I haven't done it yet.
So overall, performance is very good for the price if you're willing to put in some work. There are compromises at this price point, so you have to understand what you're getting into. It's not going to be perfect right out of the box.

I want to use it for gaming. I don't necessarily need it to sit on my lap, will be using a 55" screen.
Would be nice if it took a 2.5in SSD so I can transfer from my current gaming laptop to it and not have to re-download a ton of games on Steam.
Also would be nice if it would take RAM out of a Ryzen 3500U based laptop.

Wait are you serious ??

Remove the bottom cover and it sits between 82-88 memory, which can go as high as 105.
If you want to give the fans a break put a room fan on it and they rev. down like 30%.
The MSI version of this laptop allows you to turn off smartshift in the bios, this option is disabled on the dell. Smartshift prevents you from adjusting power settings, clocks and pretty much takes over for good or worse. You can mod the bios but it is a tedious process I don't yet care to attempt.
Really whish dell would stop disabling !@#$ in the bios.

Sounds like you should look into Nvidia Shield. Just Google it.
