Dell G3 15 3579 Gaming [G35581S1NDL-60B]

Universal Soldier

In 2018, Dell introduced a new G-series of laptops that replaced the Inspiron gaming devices. The concept of the novelty turned out to be quite interesting: in fact, the Dell G3 15 is a gaming laptop with a universal work design and an extremely attractive price tag that allows you to impose competition on popular work laptops like Asus Vivobook and eminent gaming lines like HP Omen.

without brakes

So, the Dell G3 15 has one of the most powerful hardware that can be found in a laptop for $800: a 4-core Core i5 processor with multi-threading support and turbo boost up to 4.1 GHz, 8 GB of DDR4 memory, a still powerful GeForce GTX 1050 graphics card that delivers an average of 50 FPS in most modern games at high graphics settings. A bunch of 1128 GB HDD and SSD completes the picture, which is enough for the system and everything else.

Soft blue keyboard backlight

The design of the machine is especially interesting, because the laptop seems to be gaming, but its appearance does not scream at all, contrary to tradition. In fact, only the soft blue backlighting of the keyboard with touchpad reminds of the gaming nature in the design of this machine. The keyboard itself is made for a solid five: the key travel is pliable, they are well-placed, and the WASD game block is slightly highlighted due to the backlight. In the cons of the design, you can only add a decent weight, which is due to performant iron. Well, the cooling system here is far from super, the air vents are not placed in the most successful way, so if the laptop is properly loaded with toys like RDR2 or a large project in Ableton, the coolers start howling, and the case heats up after a while around the touchpad and the centre of the keyboard.

From 4 hours of work without charging

But full order with battery life, which is usually not typical of traditional gaming laptops. The Dell G3 15 refutes this rule to some extent. If you turn off the power from the outlet and run Full HD video at maximum brightness, then a full charge of the built-in battery with a capacity of 51 W * h is enough for more than four hours. In office mode, you can achieve even more impressive results. In games, battery life drops, but fast charging saves.
