Dell has pulled the covers off its redesigned Dell G7 15 gaming laptop with the latest Intel processors and Nvidia graphics in a reasonably priced yet powerful machine.

Dell's G-series of gaming laptops has impressed us before, and the Dell G5 15 SE, a machine that doesn't scream "gaming beast" to those around it, was well received for its impressive performance. Dell has gone for sharper angles and a more aggressive look with the new G7 laptop, the new flagship of the G Series gaming machines.

For those who want to buy a new gaming laptop but don't want to spend a fortune, the Dell G7 15 may be a worthy candidate. Here's what you need to know.

The Dell G7 15 will be available on June 29, so you only have a few days to order your new gaming machine.

Given that many parts of the world are in various states of lockdown due to the coronavirus pandemic, it might be a good way to pass the time during the summer months, playing games in the house.

Unlike the Dell G3 and G5 gaming laptops, the Dell G7 15 is priced as a more mid-range gaming laptop, offering decent specifications and features, rather than the pricing that one might expect from Dell's Alienware line of laptops.

The Dell G7 15 starts at $1,429.99 in the US and roughly £1,146 in the UK. Considering that for this price you get a quad-core Intel 10th generation processor, Nvidia GeForce 1650 Ti, 8GB of RAM, and 128GB of storage space, it is quite a bargain.

While this is not a super-powerful gaming spec, it should still provide a machine that can run 1080p games at high to maximum settings. Also, Dell's entry-level display is a 144 Hz refresh rate panel, which is not bad for this price range.

Dell has not revealed how much the G7 15 will cost to fully equip. However, with options such as a GeForce RTX 2070 Max-Q graphics card, we would not be surprised to see the G7 15 push toward the $2,000 mark.

The Dell G7 15 offers a fairly comprehensive set of specs. A quad-core i5-10300H at up to 4.5 GHz, a six-core i7-1075H at up to 5 GHz, and a top-of-the-line Core i9-10980HK at up to 5.3 GHz.

These CPUs can be paired with 8GB or 16GB of 2,933MHz RAM, which can be expanded later with additional memory up to 32GB. Storage is available in 128GB, 256GB, 512GB, and 1TB PCIe M.2 SSD space.

On the graphics side, the G7 15 can be specified with a GeForce GTX 1650 Ti with 4GB of GDDR6 memory or a GeForce GTX 1660 Ti with 6GB of GDDR6. Those seeking a more powerful GPU have the option of going the GeForce RTX route with a GeForce RTX 2060 with 6GB of GDDR6 or the more powerful GeForce RTX 2070 Max-Q with 8GB of GDDR6.

This is a fairly comprehensive spec sheet, allowing the Dell G7 15 to start out as a solid gaming laptop and spec up to a machine that can easily play the latest games at high settings and stable frame rates.

The Dell G7 15 is available with three different 15-inch displays as options. The entry-level panel is a FHD 1920 x 1080 LED-backlit display with a 144 Hz refresh rate and 300 nits of brightness. However, for those who require a ridiculously high refresh rate, a panel with a 300 Hz refresh rate is also available.

High refresh rate displays are a great choice for those who like to play fast-paced games like "Overwatch," but the 3840 x 2160 OLED display with 400 nits brightness and 60HZ refresh rate It should appeal to those seeking the highest fidelity. Such a display would also appeal to content creators and those who like to watch movies on their laptops.

G-series gaming laptops tend to be less intrepid than other gaming laptops. With the Dell G7 15, Dell has opted for a slightly more angular and aggressive look.

The raised rear section, located just behind the display and holding a series of ports and vents, is given a stark rectangular design rather than a trapezoidal shape. The gently rounded edges are more square, and to our eyes the new G7 machine looks spartan and practical rather than visually pleasing.

Also gone are the ridges on the sides of the laptop, replaced by smooth edges, and on the front is an RGB light bar for those who want to shower their laptops with neon sparkle.

And the four-zone RGB backlit keyboard deck now has a sharp asymmetrical design, unlike the mundane layout of the previous model. It may feel a little strange that the directional keys are not aligned with the space bar, but they are definitely easier to type on during frantic gaming sessions.

Another difference is that the display is now supported by a hinge in the center of the back of the laptop, giving the impression that the screen is slightly floating. Whether this affects cooling remains to be seen, but it is certainly different from the previous G7.

Overall, the G7 15 has a more "gamer" aesthetic, as the laptop's design is more sharply angled. However, clad in a black finish, the Dell G7 does not look ostentatious like a red and black gaming machine. Rather, it looks like an honest-to-goodness gaming laptop that came to kick pixels and chew gum, only now the gum is gone.

The Dell G7 15's post selection is fairly comprehensive: three USB 3.2 Type-A ports, HDMI 2.0, SD card reader, 3.5mm headphone and microphone jacks, and wedge lock. There is also one USB-C port with Thunderbolt 3 support and a mini DisplayPort connection.

Connectivity is Gigabit Ethernet, Intel AX201 or Killer Wireless, and Bluetooth 5.0. This would be adequate connectivity for most laptop gamers.

The Dell G7 15 is shaping up to be a pretty impressive gaming laptop The Dell G7 15 is shaping up to be a pretty impressive gaming laptop.

To see if the G7 qualifies for our Best Gaming Laptops list, we need to put it through our testing process. However, the specs and images we have seen indicate that the G7 15 has more gaming sleeve than Dell has Alienware machines.
