Hey thanks! Yea, kinda wish that someone would have covered some of these points before I bought it. I guess only those who use the laptop without an external keyboard would notice it.
I just want to say the side 2.0 ports are actually 3.0 ports, at least on my laptop with a 3050ti. I get near the rated speeds for an external SSD which does not do that for 2.0.
The G15 with Ryzen 5 5600H & rtx 3050 comes with usb 2.0 ports on the side. Kind of annoying but there is a type-c on the back so you can buy one of those slim rectangular aluminium hubs with usb 3.2, usb-c, hdmi, memory card slots, Ethernet ports on.
Hey patrick, does your laptop upgradable to 32gb. I purchased one and on the seller website they mention laptop is only upgradable to 16gb max. Is that true?
There is a mux switch with the latest bios that also works for the 120hz screen for the G15 Ryzen Gaming Edition with the 3060 RTX.. it gives you an option to disable Optimus in the bios and that's your mux switch.. mine performs like a 3070 with the 130w vbios update and mux switch
@@casualsushant7547 yes.. it doesn't have one. Only the 3060.. from what the owner of a 3050 told me.. and also on Reddit from memory.. but don't count on my research

I was interested in this one, until I noticed that the display screen options are all VA panels. Extra consideration is how Dell put the CPU & GPU motherboard facing upward making the heat produced from them will circulates longer right below the keyboard. I know this laptop is pretty promising on paper, but the all-plastic chassis just felt unconvincing, durability-wise. Other than those, this laptop is a very tempting offer from Dell.
With budget in hand I have to choose between these at their online stores. All using AMD Ryzen 5 5600H. 1) HP Victus with 8GB RAM, GTX1650 and 16.1" 144Hz screen plus free backpack and Steam wallet. Unfortunately it was out of stock. 2) Legion 5 with 16GB RAM, GTX1650 and 60hz screen. No freebies. 3) Lenovo Ideapad Gaming 3 with 16GB RAM, GTX1650 and 120hz screen. No freebies. Cheapest. Seemed to have poor venting system for AMD processor. 4) Acer Nitro 5 with 8GB RAM, GTX1650 and 144Hz screen. Free Predator backpack. 5) Dell G15 5515 with 8GB RAM, RTX 3050 and 120Hz. Free Backpack. It got price rebate so it's within my budget. The choice is strong between Acer and Dell but I chose Dell for the GPU. Don't care much for the speaker, keyboard and touchpad because I prefer to use earphones with external keyboard and mouse.
3:27 The gpu is locked to 30watts here I have the same problem in my dell as well Has anyone else experienced this? And iss there any solution? One bootleg way i found was to reboot the laptop
This Dell laptop or ROG laptop with same configuration (144hz) I think we can get ROG with 144hz in same prize. But which one is better laptop in performance vs price and in After Sales Service.
Asus is better in performance as it has 15W boost to gpu meaning it can go to 95 watts. After sales service dell is great in some countries. For asus not so sure.
Hey, pretty good and informative review, thanks! Just wondering, whats the measure from the Dell logo and if it would be possible to cover it with a stick or something?
Hi Jesse, you could just call up Dell Support for more info. They do not sell them online ;) or you could just buy it from third party site like alipress
