Dell G15 5530 Gaming Laptop | Intel Core i5-13450HX | 15.6 Inch FHD 165Hz Display | NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4050 | 16GB DDR5 RAM | 512GB SSD | Windows 11 Home | Dark Shadow Gray

I'm not a gamer and just need a powerful laptop for Lightroom, etc too professional photos. This fits the bill very well.The Nvidia RTX4070 simply powers through anything I throw at it, the I9 CPU is no slouch either. Coming with 32gb of ram, means I don't have any bottlenecks and the 1TB of NVME leaves me with plenty of storage for now. A second NVME slot is available for future use, when required.The keyboard lighting can be controlled by the installed Alienware app (with all kinds of funky lighting available) which I've just chosen a soft glow for evening sessions. I can't say there is any bloatware installed, as everything I've seen is required (apart from Microsoft's insistence on trying to foist Office 365 on me).All in all, I'm happy with this laptop and expect to be using this for some time.Although some may find this laptop a bit too bulky (and it's power supply weighs as much as the laptop does!), I'm not going to be moving around with it that much, so it's not an issue to me.The only issue I have is that the keyboard layout is awkward and requires a bit of learning as some keys ( the @ and the / keys spring to mind) are not where you expect then to be. Other that that, I've not encountered any other issues, however minor. This is s well made, highly recommended laptop.

Mine came with just the system installed and no drivers for the features of the laptop with the video severely hampered by this, only getting a few FPS in games I expected over 100! Thankfully I am tech savy and was able to source the correct drivers for everything, all while I was in hospital!After all the correct drivers were in place the laptop is a dream to use. Handles everthing I throw at it from flight simulators to Blender. It is a bit noisy on the fans but at more than £1000 cheaper than the equivilent spec from other vendors the trade-off is acceptable.Due to the setup and the noise I dropped the rating to 4 stars when it could have been 5.

It was a product that I bought after carefully examining its features and consulting with my friends. It is a beast with its 13th generation i5 processor and GeForce RTX graphics card. It accelerates its speed with the 512 GB m.2 SSD installed in the first slot. Increased the capacity to 1TB by inserting the other M.2 SSD I had into its second slot. If necessary, 2x16 GB RAM can be added in the future. The 165hz anti-glare screen offers a very smooth and clear image. It has 3 USB 3.2 ports. These ports can provide high data transfer service. There is 1 HDMI and 1 USB-C port, you can transfer images from both. As with every comment, I will talk about the battery and charger. The battery lasts for a long time during normal use, but if you start high-performance operations, it starts to drain the battery by requiring more energy, like all systems. Especially the dual fan inside it does a good job, although it is a bit noisy in terms of reducing the temperature of the processor and graphics card. But I think this is not a problem, in fact it is necessary to continue that great performance. As for the charger, it's not a charger, it's literally a murder weapon :D To avoid hospitalizing anyone, make sure it doesn't hit someone's head. If I have to say again, I think this is not a problem, in fact it is a necessary thing to continue that great performance.High performance operations 5/5Gaming 5/5Battery 3/5Screen 4/5

I made the mistake of purchasing the Dell G15 5530 15.6-inch FHD 165 Hz Gaming Laptop with an Intel Core i7-13650HX processor, and I cannot express how disappointed I am with this purchase, especially considering the exorbitant price tag, even during the Black Friday sales.Firstly, the build quality is shockingly poor. The laptop's reliance on cheap plastic not only gives it a bulky and unattractive appearance but also makes it feel like a relic from the past. It's disheartening to see Dell compromise on the build of a gaming laptop, a device that should be robust and durable to withstand gaming sessions.The decision to place the network port on the left side instead of at the rear is a baffling oversight. This leads to cable clutter and inconvenience, disrupting what should be a seamless gaming setup. It's a basic ergonomic flaw that one wouldn't expect from a brand like Dell.However, what truly makes this purchase regrettable is the disgustingly high price, especially considering it was supposedly discounted during Black Friday. The laptop fails to justify its cost with its lackluster build and design. There are far superior gaming laptops available in the market at a fraction of the price, offering better performance and a more modern aesthetic.In conclusion, the Dell G15 5530 is a rip-off, particularly during sales events like Black Friday. Save your hard-earned money and invest in a gaming laptop that not only performs well but also offers a premium build and design. Dell has missed the mark with this model, and I strongly caution potential buyers against falling for the allure of discounts, as the overall value simply isn't there.

After owning this laptop for less than a week I'm already impressed. From the first time switching it on, it was updated and ready to go within 40 minutes. The keys are responsive and feel nice - this may seem random but a responsive keyboard that feels secure is important and shows a sign of quality.So far I've only tested mid level python programming and it is seem less - the fan doesn't need to kick in at all. Multi tasking is is effortless. It will be interesting to game on when I've got the time.In all honesty, the spec is overkill for what I need it for however there are no regrets. The build quality and performance speaks volumes. I'd highly recommend this laptop for its current price.I opted for the 13th gen i7 with 16gb ram.
