For medium games it would be a wash, both will be great at 1080P. I'd pick this for the better CPU.

Note this is DDR5 so another 8gb stick is slightly pricier but not by much. 1 nvme slot on the Dell as well if that matters, the Gigabyte has better storage upgradability.

I bought a G15 early in the year for somewhere around $670 and wanted to mention that between PayPal and slickdeals cashback rewards, I think I got back something ridiculous like $60

Slickdeals gave me 10% back I think for using PayPal. I had to go back and check my order, but my laptop before tax was $611.99 which translated into 6,119 slickdeals reward points, which I then redeemed 6,000 points for a $60 PayPal credit. It was awesome.

I got this last year for about $750 after cash back but with the i7-11800H CPU. I wished I held out for these better deals. The i5-12500H significantly outperforms the i7-11800H.

It runs fast and smooth and is cool even when Zooming with a dozen people for a few hours. When gaming on Ginshen Impact, it does get kinda hot within 1-2 hours and have to put in standby mode for 15-30 minutes to cool it down and resume again. The heat is only noticeable when you place your hands on the speakers near the screen. But this depends on the game and how GPU intensive is. I guess having a fan pointed at the laptop would help.

Mine fits 2 2280 NVMes, had to call customer support for the copper heat shield, mounting bracket, and screws to add second NVMe which I believe was $5. On Amazon, the same parts are sold for $20.

I would recommend adding an extra stick of RAM from Crucial to boost some performance in games and prevent swapping RAM to your SSD when out of RAM.

One thought: An MSI laptop purchased through Best Buy broke within 30 - 40 days. Due to some agreement, any technical support issues within the first 90 days had to go through GeekSquad. It turned out to be a problem with the motherboard. The laptop was sent off to wherever, and about a week later a refurbished laptop came back. No data backup and Best Buy would not help try to get data back off that hard drive. After raising a little bit of hell, Best Buy agreed to exchange the laptop for a new one. I'm not sure if that laptop is a Best Buy exclusive or if Gigabyte and Best Buy has the same agreement as they do with MSI, but after experiencing that fiasco third hand, I wont buy anything made exclusively for Best Buy.

Dell has better build quality and is likely to outlast Gigabyte.

I think Amex has the $120 back on $600 offer usually? Have to check if it is still active.

Edit: Nope. No more $120 back.

Looks like they are currently running this in it's place, in case that is of value to anyone.

Valid only on purchases made in US dollars. You may not receive additional Hilton Honors Bonus Points if we receive inaccurate information or are otherwise unable to identify your purchase as qualifying for the offer. For example, you may not receive the Hilton Honors Bonus Points if (a) the merchant uses a third-party to sell their products or services; or (b) the merchant uses a third-party to process or submit your transaction to us (e.g., using mobile or wireless card readers); or (c) you choose to make a purchase using a third-party payment account or make a purchase using a mobile or digital wallet.

Additional Hilton Honors Bonus Points will be credited to your program account within 90 days after 12/31/2022, provided that American Express receives information from the merchant about your qualifying purchase. Note that American Express may not receive information about your qualifying purchase until all items/services from your qualifying purchase have been shipped/provided by merchant.

Isn't the 3050 TI not so good. I have been led to believe the #### TI's are a slower video card?
