Dell G15 Laptop: RTX 3060, Ryzen 7 5800H, 15.6" 1080p, 16GB DDR4, 512GB SSD Expired

What color are the back-lit keys???

orange
You can't choose to upgrade to rgb-keyboard although some other configs I tried could

Also included in this system
The following options and default selections are included with your order.

240 Watt AC Adapter
US English Qwerty 4-Zone RGB Backlit Keyboard with Numeric Keypad and G-Key

This one comes with the RGB backlit keyboard so you can change the backlighting to any color you want. Bottom of the product page mentions this and my unit from this deal came with it. You are stuck with the orange backlit keyboard on the Intel deal.

So how is this system compared to the asus laptops with 3060. Don't asus lcd screens have like 400 nits??? But no numeric keypad.

You are right. My mistake to confuse them.

Get into a debate with this guy one time over a Gigabyte gaming laptop and he's gotta try and hit back... my post is in no way an attempt to troll and am offering a personal perspective from previous experiences. I sincerely hope they've improved the screen, as raw Hz and sRGB aren't all that matter. That was my sole point. Build quality so the screen doesn't flex with minor pressure, viewing angle, gray-to-gray response time, and other (minor) considerations may be more important to me than others, so I'm trying to offer up my personal findings to illustrate what isn't always listed on the product page.

I want all of those things to be improved on this addition, but never said this one was guaranteed to fall short in those same areas. It's no doubt the screen is a great improvement over the 120Hz base model as multiple reviews have noted; and it looks quite good -- especially since they use this on the Alienware R5 Ryzen edition (144Hz and 300Hz are available on R4, sir). I'm just hoping it's not a pig with lipstick like the rest of the G15 line. I'm also aware of the price point in that you can't expect a Ferrari for the price of a Buick, so I just want the cost to reflect the appropriate quality. Gaming laptops, unfortunately, are so driven by hardware specs that they lack what I hope to use everyday -- hence my purchase of the Gigabyte Aero. Not everyone likes/dislikes what I do, but hopefully they now have more to consider after my post if they plan to use it for school, work, or anything else apart from gaming.

I just got the Dell G15 5510 in the mail today that has the i7 10870H and RTX 3060. Ran Cinebench R23 for 10 minutes on multi core and single core for 10 minutes each. HWinfo shows that the CPU ran at an average of 72C. Icy! Unfortunately though, even at 72C the laptop fans are just slightly loud still. All around I'm happy with my purchase at $914 before tax. If anyone has any questions, feel free to let me know. I'll try my best to answer. I'm a bit of a noobie when it comes to tech. I'm hoping to see what your guys' scores and temps are with the Ryzen 5800H CPU in this chassis.

Cinebench scores on my i7 is
CPU (multi core) 8868
CPU (single core)1208

Thank for the feedback, still waiting on mine to arrive, how is the screen with 250 nits

It's alright in doors. One more notch of brightness would be nice but I can't complain at $889 before taxes for a i7 10870H and a RTX 3060. I had a laptop with a 1660 Ti and a i7 9750H before this one (MSI GL75) 9SD with a upgraded 144hz screen. I'm honestly missing the bigger size 17.3 inch screen more so than the picture quality. But it does seem like the colors are just slightly less punchy. I don't really notice that while playing a game though. The contrast is a little low, and noticeable. But I also have a 4k HDR TV I usually look at. (Sony x900F) The build quality is super nice on this G15. This is the first laptop I've had that can be flipped open with 1 finger. Out of the few laptops I've tried the past few years, this one's the most sturdy feeling. Beating the Asus RoG Strix, Dell G5, and MSI GL75's build quality, that I owned. No flex on the screen for me, and the back light bleed on my screen is almost nonexistent. Just a tiny bit on the top left corner, and where the web cam is. The fan noise is just a little obnoxious on my model once it gets up to 70 something degrees, almost making a whistling noise. I'm happy about the low thermals on my i7 G15, but really, was mostly happy about that because I was expecting a much quieter laptop. Not really the case. Maybe I can mess with the fan curve sometime, and see what happens. This 15 inch laptop is heavier than my 17 inch MSI GL75. I added a 2TB M.2 to this G15 using this mounting bracket that can be bought on Amazon. Stupidly, you have to buy this mounting bracket separately, to add a second SSD. But I can vouch that it is the part that's needed.

This is interesting, I was reviewing my order today and I noticed the "unit price" for this laptop said $1053.64 which I thought was odd since I paid $1224.99. I expanded it and it has an itemized list of things. The one glaring one that I would not want to pay for is "McAfee LiveSafe Consumer 12 Month Subscription" for $42.84. But I already tried getting it removed via live chat and they said they can't remove it. Still a good deal, but annoying that I'll be paying for software that I'll remove on day 1. But for anyone interested in the super detailed itemization here it is in full:Code:ITEM DESCRIPTION ITEM NUMBER QUANTITY UNIT PRICE TOTAL PRICE

I ordered one and it is being delivered on Monday, and I noticed this same thing. I was going to contact them about it as well but haven't had the chance. Sounds like I probably won't have much luck though...
