Dell G15 5515 Ryzen Edition review: An affordable FHD gaming laptop

Entry level.

The Ryzen 7 APU and GeForce RTX 3050 Ti laptop GPU bring all the current games smoothly to the matte FHD screen of the G15. The laptop includes space for two NVMe SSDs and offers an excellent battery life. Only the display won't win any prizes.

With the G15 5515, Dell adds a gaming laptop from the entry level segment into its portfolio. The equipment configuration we are testing here is run by a Ryzen 7 5800H APU and a GeForce RTX 3050 Ti laptop GPU. The competitors include devices such as the Schenker XMG Focus 15, the Gigabyte G5 KC, and the Lenovo Legion 5 15ACH.

Case - The G15 has a plastic case

The case of the G15 does not offer any high-quality materials but is made from plastic. While a fifth of the base unit in the back is kept in a dark gray color tone, the rest four fifth and the lid cover have a light gray color. The light gray areas have some dark gray color spots ("Phantom Grey Sprinkled"). The battery is built in. You can access the insides after removing the bottom of the case.

The case shows some good workmanship. The gaps are right and we do not feel any material protrusions or sharp edges. The base unit and lid can be warped to an extent that is just barely acceptable. Pressure on the back of the lid does not lead to any changes in the image. The hinges hold the lid tightly in position, but it is still possible to open the lid with one hand. The maximum opening angle is about 135 degrees.

The footprint of the G15 is the largest in our comparison field and the laptop is also one of the heavier devices. The Schenker XMG Focus 15 turns out significantly more compact and brings 500 grams (~17.6 oz) less weight to the scale.

Equipment - The Dell G15 does not offer Thunderbolt

The G15 offers three USB-A connections (2x USB 2.0, 1x USB 3.2 Gen 1; models with the RTX 3060 GPU: 3x USB 3.2 Gen 1) and a single USB-C connection (USB 3.2 Gen 2), which supports DisplayPort via USB-C. So together with the HDMI connection, there are two video outputs. You will look for a storage card reader in vain.

The connections are distributed over three sides of the laptop. Since the video connections and the power port are positioned in the back, the corresponding cables will run towards the back and not be in the way.

Communication

The Killer WLAN module contains an Intel chip (AX200) and supports the 802.11a/b/g/n/ac/ax standards. The transfer rates determined under optimal conditions (no other WLAN devices in close proximity and close distance between the laptop and server PC) turn out very good. Wired network connections are handled by Realtek's RTL8125 Gigabit Ethernet controller, which completes its tasks without any problems.

Accessories

The laptop includes the usual documentation: a quick-start manual and warranty information.

Maintenance

After you have removed all the screws from the case bottom, you can loosen it with the help of a prying tool, but some sections are fixed quite tightly. Removing the case bottom will provide access to the SSD, WLAN module, working memory, battery, and fans.

Warranty

Dell only offers a one-year warranty for the 15.6-inch laptop. To extend it to three-year premium support will cost about 150 Euros (~$174).

Input Devices - The Dell laptop includes keyboard illumination

Keyboard

Dell has equipped the G15 with an illuminated chiclet keyboard including a number block. The flat keys offer a medium stroke and a clear pressure point. The resistance of the keys is okay. While typing, the keyboard has some minimal give, which does not create any annoyance. The "Enter" and arrow keys turn out slightly small. The two-step keyboard illumination is controlled using a function key. Overall, the keyboard is suitable for everyday tasks.

Touchpad

A multitouch-capable ClickPad measuring 10.5 x 6 cm (~4.1 x 2.4 in) serves as the mouse replacement. Its smooth surface makes it easy to slide the fingers, and it also responds to inputs in the corners. The pad offers a short stroke and clear pressure point.

Display - A 120-Hz IPS panel

The low brightness (261.7 cd/m²) and contrast (772:1) of the 15.6-inch display (1920 x 1080 pixels) are unable to impress. We consider brightness values higher than 300 cd/m² and a contrast higher than 1.000:1 as good. While the 120-Hz panel offers quick response times, it is unable to keep up with the values from the competitors, which are equipped with 144 or 165-Hz panels.

At brightness levels of 99% and lower, the display flickers with a frequency of 200 Hz. Due to this fairly low frequency, this could cause headaches or eye problems for some sensitive users.

In the state of delivery, the display presents a decent color reproduction, even though the colors deviate slightly from the target. It does not suffer from a blue tint. A calibration will only bring a slight improvement of the color accuracy. The display is unable to cover the AdobeRGB (40%), sRGB (57%), and DCI-P3 (39%) color spaces.

Display Response Times

Display response times show how fast the screen is able to change from one color to the next. Slow response times can lead to afterimages and can cause moving objects to appear blurry (ghosting). Gamers of fast-paced 3D titles should pay special attention to fast response times.
       Response Time Black to White
16.8 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 9.2 ms rise
↘ 7.6 ms fall
The screen shows good response rates in our tests, but may be too slow for competitive gamers.
In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.1 (minimum) to 240 (maximum) ms. » 35 % of all devices are better.
This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (20.9 ms).
       Response Time 50% Grey to 80% Grey
25.2 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 12.4 ms rise
↘ 12.8 ms fall
The screen shows relatively slow response rates in our tests and may be too slow for gamers.
In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.165 (minimum) to 636 (maximum) ms. » 32 % of all devices are better.
This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (32.8 ms).

Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)

To dim the screen, some notebooks will simply cycle the backlight on and off in rapid succession - a method called Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) . This cycling frequency should ideally be undetectable to the human eye. If said frequency is too low, users with sensitive eyes may experience strain or headaches or even notice the flickering altogether.
Screen flickering / PWM detected 200 Hz ≤ 99 % brightness setting

The display backlight flickers at 200 Hz (worst case, e.g., utilizing PWM) Flickering detected at a brightness setting of 99 % and below. There should be no flickering or PWM above this brightness setting.

The frequency of 200 Hz is relatively low, so sensitive users will likely notice flickering and experience eyestrain at the stated brightness setting and below.

In comparison: 53 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 8705 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 343500) Hz was measured.

The IPS panel has stable viewing angles and can be read from any position. Outdoors, you can only read the display when the sun light isn't too bright.

Processor

The CPU part of the Ryzen 7 5800H APU (Cezanne) consists of an octa-core processor that runs at a basic clock speed of 3.2 GHz. The speed can be increased via Turbo up to 4.3 GHz. Simultaneous multithreading (two threads running per core) is supported.

For a short time, the multithread test of Cinebench R15 benchmark runs at 3.8 GHz, before the clock speed drops to between 3.5 and 3.6 GHz. The single-thread test runs at 3.3 to 4.2 GHz. In battery operation, the CPU runs at 2.1 to 2.3 GHz in the multithread test and 2.1 to 3.4 GHz in the single-thread test.

The Lenovo Legion 5 15ACH, which is also equipped with the Ryzen 7 5800H APU, does slightly better in the multithread applications than the G15. The reason for this lies in the higher power limits Lenovo is allowing for the APU.

Single-thread (mains operation)

We evaluate whether the CPU Turbo is also used constantly in mains operation by running the multithread test of the Cinebench R15 benchmark for at least 30 minutes in a constant loop. The Turbo is used at a medium level.

DPC Latencies

The standardized Latency Monitor test (web surfing, 4k video reproduction, Prime95 high load) does not reveal anything conspicuous in terms of the DPC latencies. The system appears to be suitable for video and audio real-time processing. This statement concerns our test unit with the software that is current at the time of our testing. Future updates might lead to some improvements or make things worse.

Storage Solution

An NVMe SSD (M.2 2230; M.2 2280 models will also fit) from Samsung serves as the system drive. It offers 512 GB of storage and delivers good transfer rates. The laptop is also able to accept a second NVMe SSD (M.2 2230 or M.2 2280).

However, our test unit lacks the fixture that is necessary to insert a second SSD (model number: 0X8MY9). This is the movable thread that allows you to anchor and screw down the back of an M.2 SSD. If you need the thread, you either need to find out from Dell support whether this is available, or alternatively we were also able to locate the part from other vendors such as Amazon, Ebay, and AliExpress.

Graphics Card

The actual performance of an RTX 3000 GPU depends on several factors: the cooling, the storage equipment, and the maximum TGP configured by the laptop manufacturer within the limits defined by Nvidia. Dell has configured the GeForce RTX 3050 Ti laptop GPU (overview of all RTX 3050 Ti laptops including TGPs) with a maximum TGP of 90 watts (80 watts + 10 watts dynamic boost). However, the dynamic boost appears to be used very little or not at all - at least this is what the Witcher 3 test shows.

The 3DMark results are at the same level as those of the Schenker XMG Focus 15. The results of both devices are slightly above the RTX 3050 Ti average. The RTX 3050 Ti is able to use fast GDDR6 graphics storage (4096 MB). The Vega 8 graphics core integrated into the processor is active, and the laptop uses Nvidia's Optimus graphics switching solution.

Gaming Performance

The laptop brings all the current games to the screen smoothly. Generally you can select the full display resolution (1920 x 1080 pixels) and high to maximum quality settings. A performance-hungry game such as Cyberpunk 2077 demands some compromise in the quality level. The frame rates turn out slightly below average in the RTX 3050 Ti comparison. The values of the direct competitor, the Schenker XMG Focus 15, range at the same level.
