Dell G16 7620 laptop review: Thick build for fast performance

Dell's first 16-inch gaming laptop. Dell's latest midrange gaming laptop isn't afraid to be bigger and heavier than others in order to squeeze more performance from the Intel 12th gen CPU and GeForce RTX 3060 GPU. Nonetheless, core temperatures could still be a little cooler across the board.

The Dell G series consists of budget to midrange gaming laptops in contrast to the higher-end Alienware series. The series is just a couple of years old with initial G15 and G17 models covering the 15.6-inch and 17.3-inch form factors, respectively. For 2022, Dell has introduced a 16-inch model called the G16 complete with the latest Intel 12th gen Core-H series CPUs and Nvidia RTX Ampere GPUs.

Our unit in review is a midrange configuration with the Core i7-12700H CPU and 130 W GeForce RTX 3060 GPU for approximately $1500 USD retail. Other SKUs are available with the slower RTX 3050 Ti, faster RTX 3070 Ti, or Core i9-12900H instead. All current configurations otherwise come with the same 16-inch 1600p 165 Hz display.

Competitors in this space include other 16-inch gaming laptops like the Lenovo Legion 7 16, HP Victus 16, Asus ROG Zephyrus M16, or Acer Swift X SFX16.

Case — A bigger G15

The overall design has many similarities to the existing 16:9 15.6-inch Dell G15 but revamped for the new 16:10 form factor. The obsidian plastic base and anodized aluminum lid materials remain the same for the familiar smooth texture and feel. "Gamer" aesthetics like the glossy inner display bezel or RGB ring of the Alienware laptops are not present on the G series.

Chassis rigidity is firm around the base and keyboard center where flexing and twisting are minimal. The lid exhibits relatively more flexing but not by significant margins to be of any concern.

Dell gaming laptops are typically heavier than the competition and the G16 is no exception. At 2.6 kg, the model is heavier than the HP Victus 16, Acer Swift X, and Asus Zephyrus M16 by several hundred grams each. The G16 is consequently thicker than most other gaming laptops in its size category as well.

Connectivity — Thunderbolt 4 Support

Port options are most similar to the HP Victus 16 albeit rearranged. In fact, half the ports on the G16 are along the rear due to the large ventilation grilles on the left and right edges. We would like to see more USB-C ports in the future as there is only one compared to three on the competing Lenovo Legion 5 Pro.

Communication — 6 GHz Not Included

An Intel AX201 comes standard for Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2 connectivity. There are no Wi-Fi 6E options likely to save on costs. Transfer rates are otherwise steady if not unimpressive when paired to our AXE11000 router.

Maintenance

The bottom panel is secured by 8 Philips screws for easy servicing. Users have direct access to 2x DDR5 SODIMM slots, 1x M.2 2280 SSD slot, battery, and removable M.2 WLAN module. The heat pipes and processors are on the opposite side and require further disassembly to access.

Accessories and Warranty

There are no extras in the box other than the AC adapter and paperwork. The usual one-year limited manufacturer warranty applies if purchased in the US.

Input Devices — No More Numpad

Keyboard

While Dell could have easily used the exact same G15 keyboard for its new G16 model, they have instead opted for a completely different one. The G16 keyboard has dropped the numpad for full-size arrow keys which is a mixed bag depending on the application or game. On the bright side, key feedback feels crisper and firmer than on the G15 for a more satisfying typing experience.

Annoyingly, users will have to pay more for the per-key RGB lighting feature on the G16. The model otherwise comes with a single-zone blue LED backlight as shown by our images below.

Touchpad

At just 10.5 x 6 cm, the G16 clickpad is one of the smallest clickpads we've seen on any laptop in this price range. The clickpad on the Inspiron 16 Plus 7620 is 11.5 x 8 cm in comparison. The small size isn't a deal breaker, however, as the target audience of gamers will likely have a mouse ready at all times, anyway.

Display — IPS, Full sRGB, 165 Hz, And Fast Response Times

The panel here is similar to the one currently shipping with the Lenovo Legion 7 16ARHA7 as they share the same manufacturer, same high refresh rate, same resolution, same 100% sRGB target, and even nearly identical contrast ratios and black-white response times. Image quality is significantly better than the Chi Mei panel as found on the HP Victus 16. Though it's kind of a bummer that there are no other options to choose from, it at least means that all G16 owners should be getting the same excellent viewing experience with no unexpected low-end display configurations.

Colors are decently calibrated out of the box even though Dell runs no pre-calibration procedures for the G16. Calibrating the panel ourselves with an X-Rite colorimeter would improve average grayscale and color DeltaE values just marginally from 3.2 and 1.78 to 2.1 and 1.22, respectively. An end-user calibration is therefore not necessary for most owners.

Users can apply our calibrated profile above for a more accurate display.

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
10.4 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 5.2 ms rise
↘ 5.2 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. » 22 % of all devices are better.
This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (21.6 ms).
       Response Time 50% Grey to 80% Grey
8.6 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 3.4 ms rise
↘ 5.2 ms fall
The screen shows fast response rates in our tests and should be suited for gaming.
In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.2 (minimum) to 636 (maximum) ms. » 17 % of all devices are better.
This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (33.9 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 not detected

In comparison: 53 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 18110 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 3846000) Hz was measured.

Outdoor visibility is decent if under shade, but glare becomes too heavy if under brighter ambient lighting. Alternatives like the Lenovo Legion 5 Pro 16 or Legion 7 16 have much brighter displays of around 500 nits each if outdoor visibility is a concern.

Performance — Faster Than Average

 
 

Testing Conditions

We set our unit to Performance mode via Windows and Ultra Performance mode via the My Dell software prior to running any benchmarks below. We also made sure to disable Optimus and set the system to discrete GPU mode via the Nvidia Control Panel. It's recommended that owners become familiar with My Dell and Dell Update as these two pre-installed applications are vital for adjusting the behavior of the system.

Processor

Multi-thread performance is excellent with results that are 5 to 10 percent faster than the average laptop in our database with the same Core i7-12700H CPU. The CPU is about 20 to 30 percent faster than even the last generation Core i9-11900H in multi-threaded workloads, but single-thread performance can be slower by up to 10 percent.

Upgrading to the Core i9-12900H is expected to boost performance only by about 5 percent based on our experience with the Alienware x15 R2. Thus, the Core i7-12700H is the much better option in terms of performance-per-dollar.

Performance sustainability is excellent and better than on the Dell Inspiron 16 Plus 7620 equipped with the same CPU as shown by our CineBench R15 xT loop test comparison graph below.

Storage Devices

The motherboard has space for up to two M.2 2280 SSDs as shown by our images below. However, all configurations at the moment are shipping with the second connector removed meaning the G16 can support up to one internal M.2 2280 SSD only.

Our test unit ships with the upper midrange WDC PC SN810 PCIe4 x4 NVMe SSD for theoretical sequential read and write rates of up to 6000 MB/s and 4000 MB/s, respectively, according to the manufacturer. The drive in our unit is able to reach 6700 MB/s, but it is unable to sustain these fast speeds for extended periods. When running DiskSpd in a loop, for example, read rates would eventually throttle to as low as 3500 MB/s.

Dell G16 7620: Ø5931 (2724.62-6828.33)

GPU Performance — 130 W TGP Graphics

Graphics performance is excellent with results that are 5 to 10 percent faster than the average laptop in our database equipped with the same GeForce RTX 3060 GPU. Overall performance is now within 10 percent of a proper desktop RTX 3060. This is partly due to the 130 W TGP target of the Dell G16 which is on the higher-end of the spectrum when it comes to gaming laptops.

Upgrading to the RTX 3070 Ti configuration is expected to boost graphics performance by about 20 to 30 percent while downgrading to the RTX 3050 Ti configuration will decrease performance by about 30 to 35 percent.

Running on Optimized mode instead of Ultra Performance mode impacts performance very slightly. A Fire Strike test on Optimized mode would return Physics and Graphics scores of 26289 and 21492 points, respectively, compared to 27735 and 21584 points when on Ultra Performance.

A temporary performance dip to as low as 43 FPS can be observed when running Witcher 3 as shown by our graph below. The sudden change is usually caused by poor resource management from certain background applications, such as any pre-installed software from the manufacturer, that interrupt the current application in focus.

Emissions

System Noise — Almost Never Silent

The internal fans in the G16 are almost never idle even when set to the lowest power profile. When on "Quiet" mode, for example, we're still able to record a fan noise of 28 dB(A) against a silent background of 23 dB(A). This is loud enough to be noticeable when video streaming and also louder than many other gaming laptops under similar conditions such as the Lenovo Legion 7 16 or HP Victus 16.

The good news at that the high floor noise means the fans will ramp up more slowly when higher loads are introduced. When running the first benchmark scene of 3DMark 06, for example, fan noise would top out at 32 dB(A) compared to 40 dB(A) or higher on the Acer Swift X SFX16 HP Victus 16.

Fan noise would stabilize at 45.7 dB(A) and 48.3 dB(A) when running Witcher 3 on Balanced mode and Performance mode, respectively.

Temperature — Very Warm Towards The Back

Surface temperatures when gaming can reach up to 48 C and 51 C on the top and bottom, respectively, compared to 54 C and 46 C on the HP Victus 16 when under similar conditions. The hot spots are thankfully toward the rear and away from the keyboard keys or frontal areas. Thus, the palm rests and keys never become uncomfortably warm when gaming.

Much of the rear is dedicated to ventilation as evident by the many grilles on all sides of the base.

Stress Test

CPU temperatures become very warm when the system is stressed. When running Prime95, for example, clock rates and board power draw would boost to 4.1 GHz and 117 W, respectively, lasting for about a minute at up to 99 C. The CPU would then drop to the 3.1 to 3.5 GHz range and at a lower board power draw of 88 W in order to prevent core temperatures from reaching 100 C. In comparison, running this same test on the HP Envy 16 with the same Core i7-12700H CPU and GeForce GPU would result in a core temperature of just 66 C. The already high core temperature of the G16 suggests that the costlier Core i9-12900H SKU will likely bring just minor performance boosts at best.

Running Witcher 3 would result in a stable GPU core clock, temperature and board power draw of 1777 MHz, 86 C, and 114 W, respectively, against the 130 W TGP target. Repeating this same test on the aforementioned Envy 16 would result in slightly slower core clock rates and both lower temperatures and power demands. More concerning, however, is that the temperature of the CPU in the G16 is again over 90 C to be much warmer than on competing gaming laptops.

Running on battery power severely limits performance. A Fire Strike test on batteries would return Physics and graphics scores of 19465 and 4162 points, respectively, compared to 27735 and 21584 points when on mains.

Energy Management — Demanding Under Most Scenarios

Power Consumption

Power consumption is relatively high when idling on desktop at 14 to 32 W. Nonetheless, this range is only slightly higher than on the HP Envy 16 with the same CPU and GPU. Expect consumption to be as high as 177 W when running games or about 20 W less than on the Lenovo Legion 5 Pro or Asus ROG Strix Scar 15.

We're able to record a maximum draw of 243 W from the large (~19.9 x 10 x 2.5 cm) 240 W AC adapter when the CPU and GPU are each at 100 percent utilization. Consumption would cycle between 180 W and 240 W when under such conditions likely due to thermal limitations.

Battery Life — Not That Great

Runtimes are only average even for a large gaming laptop. WLAN battery life lasts for just under 5 hours compared to 7 hours on the Lenovo Legion 7 16ARHA7 or HP Victus 16.

Charging from empty to full capacity takes about 2 hours. The model does not support USB-PD and so it cannot be recharged via USB-C.

Verdict — Big And Fast

In review: Dell G16 7620. Test unit provided by Dell

The G16 has a lot of similarities to some of the latest Alienware laptops for better or worse. More specifically, the system is larger and heavier than many competitors and it even runs much warmer with core temperatures hovering around 90 C when gaming. The G16 is therefore not the best solution for users who want a thin-and-light gaming laptop experience. Alternatives such as the Lenovo Legion 7 16 or Asus ROG Zephyrus M16 are thinner, lighter, or even both while offering similar display and processor options.

The Dell G16 excels when it comes to performance at the cost of a larger footprint, heavier weight, and warmer core temperatures.

Where the Dell system struggles it makes up for in performance. The system is faster than most other laptops with the exact same CPU and GPU as a direct result of its thicker profile and warmer temperatures. Even so, the average battery life, lack of secondary SSD support, poor webcam, and inconveniently large power brick mean there's still a lot of room for improvement.

Price and Availability

The Dell G16 7620 is now shipping through Best Buy at our current configuration for $1600 USD. It is not yet on Amazon as of this writing. More SKUs can be ordered directly from Dell ranging from $1140 to $1935.
