An affordable gaming PC
Between Alienware's various families of devices and Dell-branded gaming PCs, it can be a bit tricky to find the right laptop. There's a lot of overlap when it comes to PCs these days, including CPU and GPU options in many cases.
Our Zachary Boddy has a guide to help you pick between Dell XPS, Inspiron, G-Series, Alienware, and all of the company's main laptop families.
The Dell G-Series aims to bring gaming into a more affordable price bracket, even when at retail pricing. The Dell G16 is the latest laptop from that series and delivers high value-for-dollar when it comes to gaming on the go.
This particular model is the entry-level Dell G16. It pairs a 12th Gen Intel Core i7-12700H with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Ti. The laptop has 16GB of DDR5 RAM and 512 GB of storage as well. The Dell G16's QHD+ display has a resolution of 2560 x 1600 and a 165Hz refresh rate.
While the specs of this version of the Dell G16 are admittedly entry-level, they're enough to let you play many of the best PC games. If you love the design of the laptop but need more power and higher specs, there are models with up to an RTX 4070 and a QHD+ display with a 240Hz refresh rate.
