It is better than 11th Gen i5. For 12th gen, around i5-1235U. Around 15-20% slower in single core and 15 to 20% faster in multi core.

Does this come with one 8gb DDR4 module and is there a free slot for another one?

If so, would this be a good choice?

Quote from ku2000 :
If you don't need to carry it around, it's an excellent laptop. It has GTX3050 so more than capable of handling most games and graphic software. Best spec per price I've seen in a laptop if you can get the excellent condition one.

The big debate always is, do you want a laptop that you can carry around that can also game and do graphic work? Or do you actually need a gaming machine and a separate work laptop you can easily carry around.

I have an Acer Swift X which has similar specs but almost double the price. Big difference is the weight. Swift X is a beast of a machine considering its portability(3.31lbs) compared to the Dell G15(5.4lbs)
It would be for my 10 year old kid who needs a computer for school. He's using my old laptop that I bought in 2011. I figured I would get him something newer. I think being a gaming laptop would be a plus. It would stay at home so weight doesn't matter but I have heard the screens used for gaming laptops are not that great with text.

Two questions:
1) How are the speakers on this? My wife has the Intel version of this, and it's almost inaudible. My older Acer A5 is just fine, though.
2) Does it have a slot for a normal interface HDD? So you could do dual drive?

Yes, but I went with this : Crucial RAM 8GB DDR4 3200MHz CL22 ( a bit faster RAM)

There is only 1 free slot so a single 8gb stick is required.


Bought this for my 10yo - basic enough for school and a few simple games (Minecraft, Roblox, etc..). Of course not powerful enough for AAA games.

THANK YOU!! My son just asked me to use my laptop for some games and stuff he needs, and I really didn't want to let him. I hadn't been looking BB Open boxes lately and your comment came at the perfect time. $297 for an open box satisfactory is exactly what I was looking for!! He's 8 and will probably break it one day but for now it will run anything he wants!!

Just added a stick of 8GB RAM to this and the performance improved dramatically. Passmark doubled, passmark memory improved by 75%.

Took a screwdriver, guitar pick and about 10min.

Added an 8GB stick, there is 8GB soldered onboard. So it went from 8GB to 16GB - and I think single-channel to dual-channel.

Definitely wasn't expecting better performance for routine stuff, but there it is.
