Dell G3 15 3579

The Dell G3 series laptops have another new member - the light and stylish G3 3579. The gaming laptops in the G3 line usually weigh less and look better than those from Dell's G5 and G7 lines. This time, the newest member also boasts a better cooling system than its predecessors. This version of G3 3579 comes with a Full HD IPS 15.6" screen display, and it runs on an i5-8300H Coffee Lake CPU, 4 GB of RAM (there is also an 8 GB RAM variant), a GTX 1050 Ti 4 GB RAM graphics card, and a 1 TB HDD of internal storage. The selling points of the latest G3 model seems to be its chic aesthetic and its slimmer built. It measures at 380 mm x 258 mm, and with 22.7 mm height and 2.5 kg weight, it is one of the thinnest gaming laptops in the market. This laptop is very suitable for those who are searching for a gaming laptop with a more professional touch as compared to the more traditional and bulky gaming laptops. The fact that the G3 model has similar hardware specifications as its big brothers, the G5 and G7, is a definite bonus. The G3 3579 performs quite well with the i5-8300H processor and the GTX 1050 Ti graphics card. The computing processes are also suitably complemented by the adequate 4 GB of DDR4 RAM. It is by no means a very powerful gaming laptop, but it should run most AAA games in at least medium settings just fine. Unfortunately, the screen suffers from poor color accuracy and low brightness. Now, let's move on to the build quality of the Dell G3 3579. While the laptop looks pretty modern and should suit a young professional in a business setting, the build quality is not the best of the crop. For one, the whole body of the laptop is made from plastic, and it feels like it. Having said that, the overall aesthetic of the laptop does not ‘look’ plasticky or cheap. This 15.6" laptop also comes with a full-sized keyboard, and the keys are backlit too. The keys also require a little more pressure for its handling or typing, but it shouldn't be a problem for most of the users. The G3 3579 comes equipped with three USB 3.1 ports, an SD card reader, an HDMI 2.0 port, a Gigabit Ethernet port, a headphone/mic combo port, dual-band WiFi chip, and Bluetooth 5.0. This stylish gaming laptop is also available in 3 gorgeous colors - Liquorice Black, Alpine White and Recon Blue. While this laptop is an excellent purchase for its low budget price, it can hardly satisfy the 'gaming needs' of a hardcore gamer or be classified as a full gaming laptop. It is more suitable for the casual gamers who do not see the need for a high-end gaming laptop. Hands-on article by Jagadisa Rajarathnam

Dell G3 15 3579-CN35711

A lot of budget gaming laptops seem to be making great impacts on the portable computer market. Even non-gamers love this genre of laptops as the specifications are generally great for semi-professionals who are into process-heavy tasks like video and image editing. There is a new budget gaming laptop making its round in the market, and that is the Dell G3 15 3579-CN35711. This 15.6-inch budget gaming laptop has quite a lot going for it. It is equipped with an Intel Core i5-8300H, a processor from the upper-middle Intel Coffee Lake range. The processor has four processors that clocks at a frequency of 2.3 GHz to 4.0 GHz. It also has eight logical threads with 8 MB of cache. Professional users will be happy to know that the processor is suitable for heavy processes like video and image editing. Since the Dell G3 15 3579-CN35711 is marketed as a gaming laptop, it is expected for it to come with a good graphics card. It is no surprise that the laptop is equipped with an Nvidia GTX 1050 graphics card with a built-in 4 GB of DDR5 VRAM. This may be an entry level graphics card, but it is sufficient to run new and modern games in, at least, a medium setting. To complement the graphics card, Dell has equipped the laptop with a gorgeous IPS panel that has a resolution of 1,920 x 1,080 pixels and a matte finish. For users who prefer better screens, there is also an option to connect to a 60 Hz 4K monitor via the HDMI 2.0 port. Another great news for modern-day laptop users is that Dell has decided to include a 128 GB SSD drive in addition to the usual 1 TB hard disk drive. Thanks to the SSD, users can now opt to put the operating system on the much faster SSD drive. The Dell G3 15 3579-CN35711 also comes with 8 GB of DDR4 RAM, which should be sufficient for most users.Those who prefer a bigger RAM capacity may opt to add another memory stick to the second slot in the motherboard. And now, let’s move on to the connectivity and ports that come with the laptop. The Dell G3 15 3579-CN35711 comes equipped with two USB 3.1 ports and one USB Type-A port, but sadly, no USB Type-C is added to the laptop. There is also one HDMI 2.0 port (as mentioned previously), an Ethernet port, one SD memory card slot, and one audio/mic combo jack. As per the norm with modern laptops, it also has a web camera for video conferencing. Measuring at 22.7 x 380 x 258 mm and weighing at about 2.5 kg, the Dell G3 15 3579-CN35711 doesn’t have a lot of advantage over the other smaller and thinner laptops in the market. But for those who do not mind the little extra weight that this laptop comes with, it makes an excellent buy at this price point. Hands-on article by Jagadisa Rajarathnam

With this weight, a laptop is rather heavier than average. Devices in this range shine more with screen size and performance than with mobility.

71.99%: This rating is poor. More than three quarters of the models are rated better. That is rather not a purchase recommendation. Even if verbal ratings in this area do not sound that bad ("sufficient" or "satisfactory"), they are usually euphemisms that disguise a classification as a below-average laptop.
