Dell is currently offering its latest generation G15 gaming laptop for $205 USD off its original launch price of $1430 USD. The deal is notable for its high-end processors relative to the asking price including the Ryzen 7 5800H CPU, GeForce RTX 3060 GPU, and 15.6-inch FHD 165 Hz 300-nit display.
The 15.6-inch G15 is as close to an Alienware laptop you can get without having to pay that premium Alienware price. Its visual design and internal cooling were heavily inspired by the Alienware m15 series to be a significant upgrade over the older G3 15 model. The G15 was on sale earlier last month for only $1173 but it came with a slower 120 Hz display and a slower Intel 10th gen Core i7 CPU.
We have yet to review the Dell G15 and so we can't provide our personal impressions on the system. Nonetheless, potential buyers should be aware of its lack of Thunderbolt support similar to most other Ryzen-powered laptops in the market.

After graduating with a B.S. in environmental hydrodynamics from the University of California, I studied reactor physics to become licensed by the U.S. NRC to operate nuclear reactors. There's a striking level of appreciation you gain for everyday consumer electronics after working with modern nuclear reactivity systems astonishingly powered by computers from the 80s. When I'm not managing day-to-day activities and US review articles on Notebookcheck, you can catch me following the eSports scene and the latest gaming news.
