While this is a great deal if you qualify for the AMEX statement card and you aren't looking to play (AAA) games in any kind of setting higher than Medium.

Also, I would def recommend upgrading to the panel with 300nits if you have no choice but to use the laptop screen. The one currently speced is not good. And if you have the budget, and plan to play any (AAA) game released in the last few years, you should be on the dual channel, so two sticks of ram should be used.

There are many "Known" issues with this laptop, one major one being the blue screen issue. When Lost Ark was officially released to US Players earlier this year two of my friends purchased this laptop to play it. They had numerous issues with both experiencing blue screens daily and having to exchange them multiple times, after lengthy Dell tech troubleshooting steps because there were no parts for their tech company that dell sourced to fix issues. There was also a weird thing with switching out the display graphics, where every time they wanted to make a change they had to boot into the Bios to make it.

There is an amazing YouTuber 'Jarrod'sTech' whose reviews are precise, and informative, and most of the videos I viewed are none biased, maybe that is why he has over 500K subscribers, with me being one of them, and they reviewed this machine.

I hope this helps others.

Happy Turkey Day!

I have a 3050 laptop and it's fine playing most games at mid-high settings.

A laptop with 3060 costs considerably more than this.

It's not crap. It's simply low end. Crap is the 5500.

I wouldn't be swayed by the low price. By the time you're done doubling the ram and adding storage space you're into this for quite a bit of coin and still limited by the GPU and screen.

How does this compare to the Dell G16 7620 deal earlier this month for non-gaming purposes? This laptop has a CPU with nearly identical performance to the I7-12700H which comes with the G16. For a savings of > $400, I am thinking this might be a better deal. Though the screen resolution is less on this G15, and RAM is 8GB vs 16GB. I guess I can always add ram stick later.

https://slickdeals.net/f/16157173-g16-7620-gaming-laptop-i7-12700h-16-165hz-rtx-3050-ti-16gb-ddr5-51...
the savings are about $250 only, and you get i7 instead i5, Ti video, 8GB more RAM, double the storage, and better screen, basicly you dont have to do anything on the G16, and you have to upgrade the G15.. also 20-30% more video performance from the graphic casrd that can not be upgraded..

Looks like it has a battery issue . It won't last for good period of time. Also over heating issues. Check the reviews before you buy.

They just say that. The laptops actually support up to 64GB.

Crucial is the correct one. They say my G15 5511 supports 64GB which is 1 year older than this newer model.
