Dell G15 Special Edition Gaming Laptop
This is one of the best deals I have seen for an RTX 3060-equipped laptop at $1000. The i7 11800H is on par with the Ryzen 7 5800H, but you get Thunderbolt 4. This is not a thin and light notebook, but if a close to a 6-pound laptop is not a problem, it may be hard to beat this deal right now.

Please go easy on me. I rarely post deals, but I thought this one was noteworthy.

*Please note that no coupon is necessary. The product page says limited availability.

Looks like 115w+15w boost. A similar g15 model non se was available from microcenter back in Jan for the same $999. When comparing the two I wound up with an omen 17 same cpu/gpu combo both 130w and $999 at that time. Performance should be exceptional 9000+ timespy score in a portable.

This is great info! I'm going to add it to the description.

i7 seems to be better because of possible bottleneck on i5. https://nanoreview.net/en/cpu-com...h#comments

I realize it says 360Hz in the specs, but buried in the details it says 120 or 165Hz. Here is what I'm talking about:

Play on the standard 120Hz display panel (coming soon) with 250-nit brightness; or opt for the 165Hz display panel with 300-nit brightness, sRGB 100% color gamut, and 3ms response time.

In short: Do we really believe the 360Hz spec claim? Seems far-fetched, you don't normally see that on 3060 laptops, more very high end 3070/3080 lappies. Thoughts?

I have the Ryzen version of this laptop that went on sale last year, it has a 165Hz screen. Not sure if they updated it for this Intel model or what, but I agree: 360Hz seems an odd pairing for a 3060.

3060 with 360hz? That's an absurd configuration.

Btw: recession is coming. Hold your money. Don't buy anything that is non-essential to your life. Wait and let the stock and housing market crash, which is actually happening. Thank me later.

Quote from leto1 :
Every time I see the G series laptops on sale, I bitterly remember the one I purchased two years ago. Total junk. Read up on their chargers and how the system won't recognize them after a while and won't charge. My laptop was a desktop for about 6 months and I replaced it.

Agree. Bought at best buy and returned 3 days later. UGLIEST computer made, and the few quirks which weren't commons , got rid of it. This looks like a cheap no name laptop, at best
