Dell G5 15 5590 (i7-8750H, RTX 2060, SSD, FHD) Laptop Review
With its diverse G-series (G3, G5, G7), Dell offers gaming laptops that present reasonably priced alternatives to the high-end Alienware gaming laptops. The G5-series aims to cover the midrange segment of the G-series assortment. The review device we were provided with is equipped with a Core i7-8750H processor and the GeForce RTX 2060 GPU. The Lenovo Legion Y530-15ICH, the Acer Aspire Nitro 5 AN515-54 and the HP Omen 15 are among its rivals. We will also take the 17.3-inch MSI GL73 8SE into account as a competitor since it's currently the only laptop in our database that shares the same CPU, GPU, and price level with the Dell G5.
Case - More compact than the predecessor
Dell dropped the case of the predecessor and opted for a completely new model with the G5 15 5590, which features a stylish and largely no-frills design. While the larger sides of the case have smooth surfaces, the narrower sides exhibit a groove design. The case is made mostly of plastic. Only the upper side of the base unit uses metal, magnesium, to be specific. Dell chose a matte black color for our review device (Exception: There's a strip above the keyboard, which is made of glossy black plastic). Alternatively, a black-white version is also available. A maintenance hatch isn't available. In order to access the interior, the bottom cover needs to be removed. More on that later.
In regards to workmanship, the laptop doesn't reveal any weaknesses. The gap dimensions are right, and there aren't any perceivable material overhangs. The case's stability also makes quite a good impression. The base unit can be slightly twisted - this is still within limits. The lid can be twisted a bit further. Pressure on the back side of the lid doesn't lead to image distortion. The hinges hold the lid firmly in place. The maximum opening angle is about 140 degrees. The lid can be opened with one hand without issues.
Not only does the G5 differentiate itself from the previous model in terms of looks, but it also comes with a lower weight and a somewhat more compact form factor. However, its rivals are still a bit lighter and more compact than the current G5 incarnation.
Connectivity - Thunderbolt 3 on board
The G5 offers a decent selection of ports. The highlight is the Thunderbolt 3 port, which enables the connection of an external GPU or a docking station, for example, and it can provide an additional video output as well (DisplayPort via USB-C; a separate adapter would be required for this). Nevertheless, the laptop can't be charged through this port since per Thunderbolt 3 specifications, a maximum of 100 Watts can be received. The G5 requires more.
In addition, the laptop comes with three USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports (Type-A). These are joined by an HDMI port and a Mini DisplayPort. This results in the laptop having three video outputs in total. Dell has spread the ports across three sides and has placed them in the center at all times.
SD card reader
Dell provided the G5 with a full-fledged SD card reader. However, it only fits SD cards halfway, and they stick out by around 15 mm. The model that was used here belongs to the slow representatives of its kind. When copying large data blocks, a maximum transfer rate of 32.2 MB/s was reached. The transfer of 250 jpg files (each of around 5 MB) was done with a speed of 19.1 MB/s. We test memory card readers with a reference card (Toshiba Exceria Pro SDXC 64 GB UHS-II).

Communication
The G5 has a Wi-Fi module inside, which uses an Intel chip (Wireless-AC 9560). This supports both the 802.11a/b/g/n Wi-Fi standard and the fast ac standard. The transfer speeds we observed under optimal conditions (no additional Wi-Fi devices nearby, short distance between laptop and server PC) are very good. The module also offers Bluetooth 5 functionality. Wired network connections are handled by a Killer E2500 Gigabit Ethernet Controller. This fulfills its tasks smoothly.
Webcam
The built-in webcam (0.9 MP) produces pictures with a maximum resolution of 1280x720 pixels. The pictures look a bit pale and washed-out.
Accessories
Besides a quick-start guide and a booklet with security information, the G5 doesn't come with any other accessories.
Maintenance
The laptop doesn't offer a maintenance hatch. In order to access the interior, the bottom cover must be removed. This process can be accomplished quite easily. The bottom cover can be detached after removing all screws from the bottom. The clips holding it are not excessively tight. Eventually, a grout finishing tool or a flat spatula may be required to loosen the bottom cover.
Warranty
Dell only honors a one-year warranty on the G5. The length and coverage can be extended. A two-year Premium Support including on-site service costs about 130 Euros (~$146). A three-year Premium Support Plus including on-site service will set you back nearly 310 Euros (~$347).
Input devices - Suitable for everyday use
Keyboard
Dell has equipped the G5 with a backlit chiclet keyboard. The flat and slightly roughened keys have a short travel and a clear pressure point. However, we would've liked the resistance to be firmer. The keyboard doesn't give way while typing. The lighting is controlled through a function key. There are two brightness levels. Overall, Dell has delivered a keyboard suited for everyday use here.
Touchpad
The multitouch-capable ClickPad takes up an area of about 10.5 x 8 cm (~4.14 x 3.51 in). This leaves enough room to use gesture control. The smooth surface makes it easy for fingers to glide on it. The pad also reacts to inputs in the corners. It has a short travel and a clear pressure point.
Display - IPS, but dim
The matte 15.6-inch display in the G5 15 5590 has a native resolution of 1920x1080 pixels. While the contrast we measured (1376:1) can be considered to be good, we found the brightness to be too low (219.2 cd/m²). In principle, we consider values above 300 cd/m² and 1000:1, respectively, to be good. But most competitors can't meet these expectations either. While the Lenovo Legion Y530-15ICH and the HP Omen 15 offer brighter displays, they are behind in terms of contrast. The display in the MSI GL73 8SE does indeed fulfill all requirements, but it uses a TN panel and therefore has unstable viewing angles.
The comparatively budget price level of the G5 can be noticed when it comes to response times. These are significantly higher than the ones observed with the Legion or the Omen 15. Positive: The display in the Dell laptop doesn't show any PWM flickering.

* ... smaller is better
Out of the box, the color reproduction isn't satisfactory. With a Delta-E 2000 color deviation of 8.6, the target value (Delta-E smaller than 3) is very far away. Moreover, the display shows a slight blue tint. An improvement can be achieved through calibration of the display. In this way, the color deviation drops to 4.06; the blue tint disappears and the grayscales become noticeably more balanced. The AdobeRGB and sRGB color-spaces can't be displayed. The coverage rates amount to 37% (AdobeRGB) and 59% (sRGB).
Through the color profile that we have provided, the display's color reproduction can be improved by matching it to our calibration. It's important to make sure that the same display model (manufacturer + model number) as in our review device is built in. Otherwise, the color reproduction can become worse instead of being improved. It's common for laptops of the same model series to use displays from different manufacturers.

Dell provided the G5 with an IPS panel that shows stable viewing angles. Thus the display is readable from any position. Outdoors, the display's readability goes from poor to impossible due to its low brightness.
Performance - Without shortcomings
Dell delivers with the G5 15 5590 a 15.6-inch gaming laptop that can run all modern computer games smoothly. Our review device currently costs around 1,400 Euros (~$1,567). There are other configuration options available. Prices start at 930 Euros (~$1,041).
Test conditions
We conducted all our tests using the "Balanced" energy profile from Windows 10. The control panel in Windows doesn't offer any other profiles for the G5. In addition, Dell Power Manager provides further options to influence temperature management. The available alternatives have an effect on the development of noise and performance in the laptop. In this case we chose the "Optimal" option. This option is the best way to go.
Processor
Like many other gaming laptops, the G5 comes with an Intel Core i7-8750H (Coffee Lake) hexa-core processor. The CPU offers a good compromise between computing performance and power requirement. This is a mobile CPU, which has a TDP of 45 Watts. Dell allows a short increase to up to 90 Watts. The Core i7 runs at a base speed of 2.2 GHz. Through Turbo, clock speeds can go up to 3.9 GHz (six cores), 4 GHz (four cores) and 4.1 GHz (one core/two cores), respectively.
The processor executes the multithread tests of the Cinebench benchmark at 3.6 to 3.9 GHz. The single-thread tests are run at 3.9 GHz. These are the results observed when plugged in. On battery power, the CPU runs at 1.4 to 1.6 GHz (multithread) and 1.2 to 1.8 GHz (single-thread), respectively.
In order to test if the CPU's Turbo is used consistently when plugged in, we let Cinebench's R15 multithread test run for a minimum of 30 minutes in a continuous loop. The results drop a bit from the first to the second run, but then they remain at a largely constant level between 1130 and 1150 points. Turbo is in use.
We ran the CB15 loop several times and varied the options offered by the Dell Power Manager that had to do with temperature management. The "Ultra Performance" option didn't bring any advantages. The results were even minimally worse. The option "Quiet" has clearer effects. The CB15 results are just below 1000 points, and the fans produce significantly less noise.

System Performance
The G5 doesn't show any deficiencies when it comes to system performance. The hexa-core processor provides more than enough performance, even for tasks beyond gaming - and it should be sufficient for the years to come. The dedicated graphics unit makes it possible to run computer games. The system performs decently and smoothly. We didn't notice any issues. This is joined by very good results on the PCMark benchmarks.

Storage
An NVMe SSD from Toshiba is used as system drive. This is an M.2 2230 model. Alternatively, models with the 2242 and 2280 formats can also be used. To do this, the threaded bolt used to screw the SSD would have to be moved. This can be done without issues. The piece of metal on which the bolt is placed is only plugged, not screwed or welded. We tested this.
The SSD has a capacity of 128 GB. Out of this, about 66 GB is usable out of the box. The remainder of storage space is used by the recovery partition and the Windows installation. The SSD delivers decent transfer rates, but it's clearly behind what can be offered by current NVMe SSDs. These SSDs use the PCI Express 3.0 interface, which provides significantly higher transfer speeds than the ones obtained with the SATA III interface (Max. 600 MB/s).
Despite the small SSD, the gaming laptop doesn't lack storage space. Alongside the SSD, Dell has also equipped the G5 with a 2.5-inch hard drive (1 TB, 5400 rpm).

Graphics card
The Dell laptop is equipped with a GeForce RTX 2060 graphics processing unit. The Turing GPU supports DirectX 12 and runs at a base speed of 960 MHz. An increase to up to 1200 MHz is possible through Boost. However, the value can also be exceeded if the GPU temperature doesn't reach a set threshold. The cooling system in the G5 enables an increase in speed to values beyond 1200 MHz. As a result, the GPU went through our The Witcher 3 test with clock speeds between 1400 MHz and 1450 MHz. The RTX 2060 has access to 6144 MB GDDR6 video memory.
The results on the 3D Mark benchmark are normal for the GPU in place. Graphics performance drops significantly on battery power since the GPU only runs at its base speed (300 MHz) here. The options aimed at managing temperature that are provided by Dell Power Manager have no effect on graphics performance.
Alongside the RTX 2060, the laptop also comes with Intel's UHD Graphics 630 integrated GPU. Both cores provide a graphics-switching solution (Optimus). Intel's GPU is used for everyday tasks and when the device is on battery power. Nvidia's graphics unit takes care of demanding tasks such as computer games.

In order to verify that frame rates remain largely constant throughout longer periods of time, we let The Witcher 3 run for around 60 minutes at Full HD resolution and at maximum quality settings. The character was not moved during the entire time. The frame rates fluctuated during the course of the test, but they always remained at a playable level. There were no frame rate drops to be found.
