Dell G5 (5500) review: Rainbows and sunshine?

It's got issues, but Dell's performance to price ratio is what sets it apart from pricier rivals. It's a decent gaming machine with a weird design.

Solid value ; 144Hz screen ; Excellent gaming performance ; Relatively long battery life

Leaden touchpad ; A style/build downgrade from 2019

This laptop offers great gaming performance per pound and can work well as a general work machine thanks to its relatively lengthy battery life. We're not fans of the leaden trackpad, though. And the design of last year's version was actually better.

New name, same great budget-gaming deal

Only have $1,000 to spend on a gaming laptop? Make this Dell your first stop.

Dell's G5 15 is a refinement of last year's model -- the Dell Inspiron 15 7000 Gaming -- but continues to offer good entry-level gaming performance with extras like Thunderbolt 3 and PCIe NVMe as well as memory and storage that's easily upgraded or...

Some might find the color, contrast and brightness of the full HD display disappointing.

Dell's G5 15 still rises to the top as one of the best entry-level gaming laptops you can buy despite being just a minor update from its predecessor.

Dell G5 15 Gaming

The Dell G5 15 Gaming has one too many flaws, including middling performance, a dull display and bad speakers -- all packed into a thick body.

Solid keyboard; Great battery life

Chunky design; Dim display; Poor speakers; Middling performance and graphics

Dell G5 15 5500 Review: Ideally Crafted For Budding Gamers

Here is the full review of the Dell G5 15 5500, the latest mid-range gaming laptop from Dell.

120Hz refresh rate display ; Clean design ; Plenty of I/O options

Plastic body ; Average keyboard

The Dell G5 15 5500 almost costs as much as the Asus VivoBook F15 F571 and has almost similar specs with a 120Hz refresh rate screen, NVIDIA 1650 Ti GPU, 8GB RAM, SSD based storage, and even a similar-sized battery. If you care a lot about aesthetics,...

Dell G5 15 5500 review – another design refresh for the G5 series

Once again, Dell has changed the design of its G5 gaming notebooks. Instead of the features, it borrowed from the Lenovo Legion series of the past couple of years, the US manufacturer has gone for …

Pushes the Core i7-10750H to the edge with its decent cooling solution;Two M.2 PCIe slots;The display doesn’t flicker at any brightness level (Panda LM156LF-2F01);Covers 95% of sRGB and has a great color accuracy (with our Gaming and Web design...
