It is a gaming system; yet, the battery is not horrible 1-4 hours depending on how much load. Ie, streaming will get you closer to the 4 hour mark with a dimmed screen.
I plan on picking up a Quest 3 and then trying to use this box for SteamVR. The only negative is the touchpad buttons are very hard / non-responsive. At least for me, so an external mouse is a requirement for most things.
btw, I paid like $1100 (plus tax and an extended warranty) on the outlet via an SD.
For those interested in testing results... it is fast from a user standpoint. The synthetic numbers, of my unit, are slower than userbenchmark or 3DMark expected. This was tested back in November and the system has been on 24/7 since it went through a week of constant stress testing running (Prime, Superstition, etc). This laptop's 4070 beat my desktop 2080S system by around 10% (ballpark).
User Benchmark reported at 150% Gaming, 110% Workstation, and 153% Workstation.
3DMark / TimeSpy reported a 12,612 or so.

I created 3 different email accounts and signed up this morning, never received the code from Dell. Checked all folders - no luck
thanks
I would say that the increased weight may be worth it for increased battery life, but you don't have Ryzen like with the Dell G15 5535.
Edit: My mistake, this 4070 model actually comes with thunderbolt 4 (not certified for PD), however the very common 4050 and 4060 G15s do not. Laptop is still a good bit heavier than the competition with no lighter charger.

For example, a Desktop 4070 GPU performs about 20-30% better than a Mobile 4070 (according to PassMark benchmarks) but the Desktop part has a Max TDP of 200W vs 115W for the mobile. The Desktop i9-13900K is about 25% faster than a i9-13900HX, but the Max TDP is 125W vs 55W.
Of course, actual power use is going to depend on the game, but for me, having a 25% slower machine is totally worth the huge power savings.
I'm currently playing Baldur's Gate 3 on my G15 5535 (Ryzen 7 7840HS/RTX 4060) on 4K Ultra settings (playing on external monitor, of course). Task Manager shows the GPU at 100% and the CPU around 35% typically. My Kill-A-Watt shows about 170W of use, not including the external monitor. A desktop GPU might use more power than that all on its own.
If you value portability, the Dell G Series might not be the best choice. The weight of the machine combined with its big power brick stretches the definition of portable (luggable?). If performance is king, perhaps a mini tower would make more sense. But there's a nice zone where performance, portability, power use, and price meet (that's a lot of 'P's), and the Dell G Series sits in it quite nicely, I think.
YMMV.

Onsite-In-Home Service After Remote Diagnosis 1 Year $24.01
McAfee+ Premium 1-year $30.79
The first thing I will do when I receive the laptop it is to remove that McAfee malware. The Dell bloatware might go too, not sure if it offers any value.
