This has floated ~$725 open-box at Best Buy for at least 6 months, maybe 9 months. I'm not saying it's a bad deal (especially because this is new), but these Dell G-series are heavy and not particularly refined.

4050 competitor, 10% faster but no frame gen. Has last gen processor like most budget laptops. (i7 12th gen or Ryzen 7735)

My primary issue with the 2022/2023 G15 is how they are a lot heavier than the competition, (5.9/6.2lbs vs others under 5 and a charger that doesn't weigh 3lbs)
but it also depends on if you use this as a desktop replacement since the screen would matter less too...

This deal is merely okay without AMEX as 4050 laptops have come down to $699 in the past. The QHD screen is the standout but seems like a better pairing for a 4060 or 4070 GPU with 8GB vram for that higher resolution.

I was able to use a 10% coupon and split payments to both my Amex platinum and business Amex platinum. 120 off 599 on one and 200 dell credit on the other.
Are you sure split payments are qualified?

I'm deciding between these three 16" laptops. Which one would you choose?

1. ASUS TUF A16: 16" FHD+ 165Hz, Ryzen 7 7735HS, RX 7700S, 16GB DDR5, 512GB SSD $829.99

2. Acer Predator Helios Neo (Cert. Refurb): 16" FHD+ 165Hz, i5-13500HX, RTX 4050 (140W), 16GB DDR5, 512GB SSD $689.99

3. Dell G16 7620 Laptop: 16" QHD+ 165Hz, i7-12700H, RTX 3060, 16GB DDR5, 1TB SSD $765
If you're planning to game, the TUF is going to perform significantly better than either of the other two. I also own the Intel version of that TUF and the build quality isn't bad at all (way better than the HP Omen I tried briefly before it.)

Anyone know if this would run any game on Quest 3?

I'm thinking it's not gonna happen but I'm hoping to find something that I can play anything (currently out) on.

I got the last year G15 and I can tell you that it's not worth it. Battery sucks even when just browsing websites, the laptop is heavy (and I mean heavy). My had a broken wifi card that would lose connection, when I got in touch with Dell and explain to them what happened it took well over a month for them to say that according to their tests everything is fine. Replaced wifi card with one from Amazon and everything started to work fine. There is a limit on what kind of a ram stick you can use. Oh yeah and it's very very loud when fans tick in while playing games.

Just a few notes:
1) heavy means good for gaming laptops because they did not skimp on cooling part.
2) dell g series is a bottom barrel gaming laptop from dell. Alienware from dell would represent higher tier quality and assembly.
3) battery hours are all bad for gaming laptops and are around 4hrs on average. One should never consider battery hours for gaming laptop because they are not built for that purpose. Macbooks do 14-20 hrs but can't game so need to pick your sides here.
4) if you have laptop good at battery then they skimped on gaming ability: dell xps or any other slim and light gaming laptop of your choice.
5) wifi card is known issues with dell and kind of a roll a dice gamble.

1) I have an Asus gaming laptop and it's almost 2lb lighter.

2) I don't play crazy graphic intensive games but I game some simple steam games here and there. I had no issue with gaming performance with my G15.

3) My Asus can stay on for 6 hrs just by browsing websites and my G15 is able to stay on for 3hrs or so.

4) again, nothing about skimping, just a complain that I would like to browser websites or do some simple work and not have battery drain like I'm playing games.

5) If the wifi card is a known issue than why not just replace the card instead of doing all the test and end up telling me that everything is fine.

1) heavy does not always mean good, if the laptop is heavy but the cooling sucks then there's little point to its weight. In 2023 this is one of the only budget laptops that's closer to 6lbs than it is to 5.

2) You are right about that, Dell's budget laptops go from good to terrible each year (2018 G3 good, 2019 G3 had major hinge issue, 2020 Intel good but 2020 All-AMD bad, 2021 both good, 2023 outdated features and heavy)

3) Seems like you haven't heard of AMD, the AMD G15 from 2021 was known for having 10hr+ battery life (src: Jarrod and other reviewers). You can have the best of both worlds...

4) False as proven above. However, I will concede that it is rare. The longest battery life gaming laptop year over year is Asus TUF w/ AMD CPU. Maybe Meteor Lake will change that.

5) Wasn't an issue on my 2021 model with Killer WiFi, it had good speeds and no issues.

My G16 was delivered today. Got to play with it a bit this evening, my initial impressions:

1. Build quality feels good, clearly a step up from the usual silver clamshell cases.
2. Looks inconspicuous (doesn't scream gaming laptop) and when closed can pass for a business folio or small briefcase. I see no issues taking it along on my rare trips to my office.
3. Non-game performance feels snappy, might upgrade the ram to 32GB.
4. Screen is very nice. Bright enough for my needs, but can see how it can be not bright enough outdoors. I don't plan on lugging around this 6-lb beast and its 2-lb charging brick, so it will stay on my desk 90% of the time, hooked up to a 32-inch external monitor.

Overall, initial impressions are good - meets my expectations.

Okay, longshot question, but does anyone know how the soundcard quality is on this laptop? Specifically, does it ever do "glitching" or blips for you when listening to music or MP3s? Even more specifically, any glitches when using DJ software like Serato??

I have an old Dell 15" 7000 series that annoys me to death because it has audio dropouts and glitches periodically when I DJ on it (or use Spotify or mp3s). I can't use it for DJing because I find this unacceptable. I've tried all the troubleshooting, and updated the drivers to the most current version (it's no longer supported) and nothing improves. I can only hope that a newer computer with new hardware, faster hardware, and modern drivers can resolve the issue.
Thanks!!

I would say you should hold for something 4060 at this price since frame generation is getting more and more important for lower tier cards- but the dlss to fg mod makes it to where many games can now have frame generation for pre 40 series RTX cards. Might be an okay buy with that in mind.

Always in the past had hissing noise from cpu and issues with audio codec. External audio card and research on cpu noise among other djs is your best bet.

If you have a space and life circumstances like being grounded at some place for long, new 4080 super cards announced yesterday might be a best solution for home built pc.
