Reports are stating the 3060 version has a bios update to enable mux.

The G15 is a unique build. It has no USB-C charging and there's no indicator light on the number lock key.

The motherboard is in 2 pieces, with the heatsink/fans/CPU parts placed upside down and the RAM/SSD drive parts placed right side up for easy access.

The SSD unit is the 1 inch square type and not the 4 inch rectangular stick type.

The area for the second SSD drive is bare metal so you can't just plug in an extra SSD drive.

Nonetheless, it's still a good laptop.

Iirc the ssd slot should fit both the 2240 (square size) and 2280 (rectangular size) nvme ssd. However, you need a metal bracket that sells for about $10 on amazon in order to mount another ssd to the second slot because Dell didn't even bother to include one.

bought this laptop last month from dell outlet. great laptop 5511. the motherboard is alienware inverted just like M15 so repasting cpu or gpu is harder. cooling is 2 fans and 3 large heat sinks . MUX switch available after bios update. thunderbolt4/usbc can be connected to dell docking station split to 2 external displays. RTX3060 laptop gpu runs 115 watt and max 130 watt with micron ram. power brick is heavy and large 240 WATT. 165HZ display is sRGB 100% and 3ms response time , 300 NITS brightness. great display overall. massive battery 86WHr. heavy laptop and charger both running heavier than 6 pounds. triple AAA titles running high FPS. great laptop overall if you don't mind the weight.

Price is just OK for RTX 3060.
Not true - for a 3060 with similar specs at 130w you're looking at around $1300+.

At this price you'll only get 8GB, 500GB storage or a step down cpu/GPU.

This deal was only recently available through Microcenter in-store, which is hard to come by.

The cons of this laptop (and presumably why it's cheap) is because it looks ugly, build materials are very mediocre and thermals on this are very bad due to cheap thermal paste.

It seems like Laptops with these components are lower priced than the desktops with "the same" components.

Can anyone comment on this? Is it because mobile/portable versions of these components are not as powerful, or is it simply the desktops or more in demand (for whatever reason...mining maybe?)

If I'm gaming or video editing and don't plan on upgrading or selling parts, would the laptop be just as good?
