who was the f***king writer of this? This is gold.
On the end it said Alexander Clark was the writer.
I disagree it was fucking weird
@Bartok you're wrong
To each his own, I still think it was weird. The whole point of these videos is to get linus' opinion of them. Here he is giving his opinion in some weird 3rd person narration of the perspective of the laptop. It really doesn't work. The whole thing made me feel uncomfortable Huge fan of these guys for many years, its ok to disagree with something they do once in a while..
Bartok I mean, it was meant to be a bit humorous/cheeky on purpose. but, hey to each their own
*"Are you a cheapass gamer?"*
No. Just poor with a terrible salary.
Lol. Me right now.
Ouch... :|
And theres me getting a msi gf65 at the age of 14 😅...sorry....
@@danidufernando3142 *nobody liked that*
I’m just a kid with no job who’s been saving his birthday money to buy a cheap 500 dollar laptop
Watching this on my Dell g3 17" big Bertha brick. In school during a break. While plugged in...
I am this video...
battey life on G3 is pretty good though, if you're economical. Lasts me 8-9 hours during office productivity on medium brightness. 15 inch model though. I gotta say it has amazing battery life given the size of the battery and the fact that it runs a full power H series CPU
@Bilbert Shmilbert I watched a review for 17 nch version as well, and surprisingly, with the same battery it still lasts over 5 hours at watching videos
I have a fell g7 17.3 and it's perfect for me. Does just what I want, with the rtx 2060.
Go play with your friends.. lol
same, on my dell g3 15" with the i7-8750h upgrade
After using the G3 throughout my engineering degree for various tasks ranging from programming, CAD, Robotics Simulation and a bit of Gaming... It's safe to say that it stood the test of time and I'll always remember you even after you get replaced tomorrow. Thanks G3. I love you.
:') I still have mine
Got mine in 2018, still kicking til now 5yrs almost no issues except changing the CMOS battery 🤣 worthy product
still got mine :D
What new laptop did you get?
Got mine in July 2019, my only regret is not getting the 9750h over the 9300h. I did not realize that the i5 was not like the desktops with 6 cores (I had an AMD desktop CPU). The i7 9750h however had more cache, higher clock speeds, and obviously the two extra cores. I definitely get a CPU bottleneck in certain games (CPU reaching 100%).
Well this was different

Very different from normal but the ad at the ending is the same.
Lance Newport Fellow GHG watcher! Great content!!! His style is unlike all others really!
"The biggest problem for us is the looks."
Good lord. I'd rather take a boring plain looking laptop than a black and red RGB-ridden mess.
StringStorm I was at Best buy either I go cheaper for a nitro with an i5 or a Lenovo looking sleek in black with an i7 for a 150 usd more. The nitro's looks scared me away. I bought the Lenovo.
Exactly.
Looks but not the price ......? Bacttery life and less colour accuracy for an IPS 1080p panel ?
Nick tan connected for most of the time. Just need a machine to bring to school and game a little at friend's house and what not. Color accuracy isn't a big deal with me as I use my work station at home for all other content, Photoshop, illustrator ect.
Oh I see......with gaming laptop, you compromise so much things. G3 laptops feels like you only can play limited medium demanding games especially indies and multiplayer games but not experience to the full extend like with higher refresh rate. I guess gaming is all about money

@@randomgayguyman can u explain why?
@@chiragbhardwaj4835 Well I suppose its subjective. If you play any online comp games, you want as much fps as possible, especially if you have a high refresh monitor. And it terms of the current technology, 60fps+ is most easily achievable in 1080P. And personally, I don't see 4k being that great, it's something you notice at first, but ultimately gameplay takes over. I would rather have a super smooth experience with high fps, then a 30 fps 4k experience, which in comparison feels jittery. Unless you only play super casual games and are concerned about visuals over gameplay, then Imo 1080P is easily WAAY more preferable.

This is the first video from linus tech tips that i watched.
I am glad to rewatch it.

I'll be honest, I thought it was kinda boring.. I wound up fast forwarding it to the end after a couple of minutes. To be fair though, I'm not in the market for a gaming laptop, so the topic itself didn't appeal to me. If I was looking to buy a gaming laptop, I might have forced myself to slog through it. :)

6:22 The razor white screening, fumbling through alt+tab then failing to present task manager with ctrl+shift+esc. That, was funny.
I call the G series an "entry level" Alienware without the badge and Alienware prices.
Acer Nitro aka "entry level" Predator
Entry level, huh... Well, kinda. But at the end of the day, alienware and dell are different. Alienware is a subsidiary of dell, but to some extent they're independant in that it's a completely different team that actually makes alienware compared to the dell counterparts(g3). Alienware are way higher quality in various ways. If the g3 was actually made by alienware, I bet they'd be better. But perhaps also slightly more expensive, haha.
@@SvenskaIdioterna Some of the G series laptops (G5 & G7) have similar chassis designs to the Alienwares, just made with different materials. That's why i said "Entry Level"

After 4 years of using this laptop I have to say it was good, very good until it wasn’t my cpu fan has broken twice and I haven’t bothered to get it fixed the second time. Majoring in mechanical engineering I’ve used solid works, fusion 360, and matlab on it and never had issues, battery life isn’t an issue when already expecting to plug it in every where I go but when I can’t it’s definitely not enough. The most taxing games I’ve played on it were apex which it couldn’t handle even at lowest settings, valorant ran fine, Minecraft well it depends on your settings. The hinge is the worst part of the laptop mine is broken badly and I have to squeeze the hinge so it doesn’t crack open as I close it which only became an issue after I had it fixed the first time the cpu fan went out. It’s fans aren’t that loud when running at max. after 4 years of use and abuse it still runs fine I can still game on it even tho I don’t anymore, every time I start it up tho it screams cause the cpu fan isn’t working right but idc not worth buying another laptop for my degree when this can still finish school with me, for my first time ever getting a laptop and having no clue about specs and if it’s priced good or not it’s done me very well.
This was a lot more creative then I thought it would be, props to ya!

I kinda prefer the more subdued look. Gamer style is not a good look for anyone over 25.
But it looks good for people under 21. Games are meant for kids in the first place.
Nick tan
Hey man, games are fun no matter who you are. But the "gamer" look of some laptops brings too much attention to yourself. If there's a regular looking variant, I'd rather go for that.
Tell me about it. No offense, they look ridiculous and ugly to my taste. They look like custom built pc so to speak.

What about the life of integrated graphics people?
It's great. 40 FPS on 10 year old games (and I'm not even talking Crysis) is great. Still, what about APU people?
Well intergrated gpus are getting better like at intel iris and vega 8+
Not to mention, they're usually inexpensive, good news for us people who will mostly utilize that decent GPU.
JG14 Gerhard_Bar Vega integrated graphics are shit and don't even get me started about intel integrated graphics
2400G life, its alright. Better than spending money on a real gpu at the moment.
This is one of the best reviews you've ever shot...ruined by a horrible title.
Dribbleondo lol
Agreed. The title makes absolutely no sense and doesn't relate to the content
Yeah, I wouldn't consider someone with an $800 a cheap-ass gamer. Someone like me with a used Dell Optiplex 990 and HP OEM RX460 is a cheap-ass gamer.
Chris D and even with that, the title is still misleading. How does a Dell G3 kinda-review answer wether you are a cheap ass gamer or not?
Hadi Tamimi, Well I guess if this is what you're life is like then Linus considers you a cheap ass gamer.
This is just too relatable. I've got a Dell inspiron 15, with similar spec. I have installed an 1 tb external hard drive and 8 gb ram. Beside poor battery life it's been great Laptop.
