A lot of money for 250 nits, but otherwise, good specs.

Agreed, also fugly orange backlit keyboard which is rough. Gotta get that white backlit or at least RGB spec(single or 4 zone minimum). I believe the 3060 is a 90w variant too unfortunately but I don't know for certain but if it is that's pretty unacceptable for a 5.4 spartan chassis like this

I asked Dell, they told me the 3060 is the 115w version. If you still have doubts I suggest you ask Dell yourself and get a transcript of your conversation so you're all covered.

@rwilliams2929 I cannot be certain but it makes sense. Dell also showed a 16g 'max' on the AMD variant but it was socketed and user upgradable to more. The max is just what Dell will sell you

The problem is the 3060 pretty much runs at 90 watts. I don't know if this has to do with dynamic boost or thermals but this is why I mentioned that, despite the dislikes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jaloTlgCguI the saddest part is it has no mux switch at all, so this is quite a bad buy, unless you need a laptop this instant.

Until I actually see someone else reviewing actually shipping laptops or it is officially documented on Dell's website someplace....I will defer to the video link above as at least one POSSIBLE SKU for the G15, even if others may exist.

Hence, I would want verification on the SKU I was getting had the specs I wanted if they were different from the reviewed model. (Note: The reviewed model has the upgraded Display vs this one.)
