Dell G5 15 SE (2020) review

 

The Dell G5 15 SE is fantastic value, but does that value come at a price?

Excellent CPU performance ; Very affordable for a gaming laptop ; Quick and vibrant display

Gets pretty hot under strain ; "Meh" design ; Plastic build feels flimsy ; Graphics are good, but not great

Dell G5 15 SE review: 1080p power for little more than peanuts

 

Dell's all-AMD model of its entry-priced gaming laptop line delivers better-than-basic performance.

Slight bump on the S key helps you center on the WASD keys faster

Backlight bleed on the screen

Dell G5 15 SE Review: AMD’s SmartShift Meets a Hot Potato

 

All Team Red, all the time

Strong productivity and gaming performance for the price ; Long battery life

Runs hot ; Keyboard caps feel cheap ; Mediocre speakers

The Dell G5 15 SE is the first SmartShift laptop on the market, and delivers strong performance for the money. But it runs hot and could offer better sound.

Dell G5 SE gaming laptop review: Peak AMD

 

The Dell G5 SE is the first gaming laptop to feature the latest AMD graphics cards and processors. Does AMD's SmartShift tech elevate this budget gaming laptop?

Excellent CPU performance ; Great game performance for the price ; Solid value across configurations ; 144Hz refresh rate

Bulky ; No FreeSync validation

Dell’s G5 15 SE is both an affordable and excellent gaming laptop

 

It undercuts and outruns similarly priced Intel-based gaming laptops

Incredibly capable for the price ; It can run most games at 60 frames per second ; Great selection of components and ports

Clunky, all-plastic design ; Light bleed on display ; Occasional performance issues

Dell’s G5 15 SE gaming laptop has the required components to run most games at a steady 60 frames per second. And notably, it’s able to accomplish that while undercutting some Intel-powered competition.

Dell G5 15 SE (2020) Review

 

Sturdy build ; AMD CPU delivers superior multimedia performance ; Capable of 60fps in AAA games ; 144Hz display ; Good port selection ; Relatively long battery life

Underwhelming design ; A bit heavy ; Slightly cramped storage capacity for modern games

A capable and affordable gaming laptop, the Dell G5 15 SE checks plenty of the right boxes. But some questionable design and feature choices keep it from standing out.

Dell G5 15 SE (2020) review

 

The Dell G5 15 SE's new AMD CPU kicks ass, but the GPU doesn't impress at higher price points

Blistering CPU performance ; Strong graphics (compared to budget gaming) ; Great battery life ; Colorful and bright 144Hz display ; Competitive pricing

Middling graphics (compared to mainstream gaming) ; Dim and dull 60Hz display ; Chunky design ; Sharp speakers

The Dell G5 15 SE (2020) sports a super fast CPU and great battery life, but its middling graphics performance and chunky design weigh it down.

Dell G5 15 SE (2020) review

 

The Dell G5 15 SE is an excellent budget gaming laptop, offering strong performance and long battery life for an affordable price.

If you’re willing to shell out an extra $250, the Asus Zephyrus G14 is the best gaming laptop available and delivers even better battery life within a more premium design. But if you’re looking for great gaming performance within the $1,000 ballpark,...
