- Dave2D review of the 15" Dell G3 (3579). The cheapest gaming laptop from Dell. Starting from $750
Dell G3 - amzn.to/2Kz5Ojq
The Dell G3 is their cheapest gaming laptop as well as the thinnest gaming laptop they've made. With a reasonable starting price point Dell is offering an appealing product but should you get it over the G5 or G7?
This model here is the 15" unit with a i5-8300H / GTX 1050 Ti / 8 GB Ram. There is also a 17" version available.

The G3 is the thinnest gaming laptop that Dell has made to date but thin laptops are hard to cool. The G7 is still my fav from the Dell lineup this year. Thanks for watching!
Dave Lee Lenovo ideapad 320 with the mx150 PLEASE, its cheap AF and people can afford.
Should I buy ASUS FX503?
Yugesh Raut Yes
Any give away
Can you review the Asus hero please👍🔥🤔🥇💻⚠️
My heart isn’t set on it but my wallet is.
Yep
Proud owner of a Dell G3 here, I have been using it for about a year, it is excellent! I highly recommend it.
I own this too but i had problem about that heat, i almost cannot play a game without lag. Can you help me???
Price ?
@@forestlink6673 700 the last time i checked
Really?
Do u have the same model as that in vid.?
I've been using the G3 for 3 weeks already. I went for the i7 with 16gb ram and 512SSD w/1050ti.
I really don't have bad performance and thermals Are really good. However I notice the surface of your model are stripes. Mine are squares. Regardless. I feel this review is focusing more in the cons of the laptop. Personally, I like it, is good for me.
If you're looking for a thin laptop. For sure is note, you can compare thin laptops like Surface pro4, Asus or Mac. If you're looking for thin and gaming. You're looking for a high budget laptop. Cheers.
Hey man is your laptop still working after 2 years
@@ashutoshshukla6986 I've had one for about 2 and a half years and it works just as good as when it came. routine cleaning of the fans is the only maintenance i've done, and just recently upgraded with an extra 8gb of ram and a new 1tb ssd.
Hey, it’s nice that you also review laptops we can actually afford 👍
Nate Watson yahh exactly
Both Dave and Bob of all Trades do great content on the entry-level performance laptops. I find the contrast between the two on this model to be interesting. Dave prefers the G5/7 chassis by what appears to be a pretty significant degree, while Bob has stated that he likes the G3 more despite the thermals due to the ease of tear down (it's more screws, but not a layered design like the 5/7 is) and how well the thermals responded to liquid metal.
Overall, I find that Dave is great for reviews on the out-of-box experience and Bob is good for those who are inclined to open up their machine and do upgrades.
I am sorry guys, new on youtube tech, but who is BOB
LOL, yeah "Bob of all Trades" is the channel. I got a good laugh at Baap of Backchod and the translation though, still laughing in fact!
My budget is 20$ so I don't think so.
When dave doesn’t like the blue, you know it’s bad
GiP Where are u looking? Based on his shirt,his screen wallpaper? I don't know
YEAH WHEN HE SAYS THIS BLUE IS NOT GOOD THAT MAY BE REALLY BAD BLUE
He had said it so many time in his videos that he likes blue very much
GiP this comment exactly
GiP lol me too I love blue too much
How intimidating can it be to remove 10 screws?
Hahaha thats what i was thinking. You have to be pretty sissy to not be able to use a screw driver😂
Indeed !
as he stated. there's other dell product with 1 screw open panel. so why not implement it to G3 as well.
@@darulkhair701 except g3 is easily one of the easiest dell gaming laptop to disassemble despite having extra 9 screws on the back. But don't just take my word for it, look up any dell gaming laptop teardown and you'll see what a nuisance it can be to teardown.
Micro Center has the GTX 1060/ i5 8300h model for $750 which is a bargain. I found that the quad core CPU ran well, slighty behind the i7 8750h for gaming but temps were not too bad. When undervolted averaged max 80 degrees in gaming.
I'm aiming to get this laptop right from Microcenter.
Its just perfect deal for such spec
Yeh, its an amazing deal there !
Love your vids
@@primroseneog4302 thanks !
I got the 1050ti one for 530 dollars and i didnt need to undervolt it, even whem gaming for more than 3 or 4 hours the temperatures never get above 80 and gpu never above 65
I always try to watch your videos early, but then I realize that RUclips hasn't finished processing your 4K upload yet. I'll have to be patient, because I really appreciate your high quality uploads.
Dave Lee = 💻🏆
ok what the actual hell is this supposed to mean..
The Smiling Sloth that’s what i thought
Computer Trophy?
Always wanted to do this review! Thank you so much! Planning to buy this October!
Why i love this channel ? Cuz it's one of the channels that don't make 10 min bullshit content video to get ranked better by RUclips !! Keep up the good work Dave !
I'm a newborn when it comes to computers. but the g3 has been amazing when playing ffxiv. no lag. it does get warm. I run on a i5 16GB 2TB HDD+512GB SSD
Do you think an 8gb version would make too much of a difference for running lower level games eg valorant or csgo?
@@greeneggsandham7950 valorant only really needs 4 gbs ram, not too sure about csgo but you can look it up
Sometimes you gotta like your own comment just to get things started.
I think this is original so I'll like it 👌🏾👌🏾
Hey did you like it 203 times? I'll help
Beware because people will started to copying this
TheNightKnight i like everything I comment
Hey everybody, I have been a Dell G3 owner for a few months now. I have had a major problem with the fan making very aggressive scraping sounds and I'm sending it off to get it repaired. I'll do an update after it's fixed.
Best reviewer.
Good analysis. Mixes the pros and cons well. Natural sounding and not overly scripted like other RUclipsrs. But also gets to the point well.
They went to the same mistake what HP has done 2-3 years ago with their Greenish gaming laptop.
They made it too thin without considering the ventilation and it'll finally eat itself.
EU and NA people might not know this but when these kind of "gaming spec laptop" came here in SEA region, it ALWAYS have an issues with the thermal.
Even I used 7559, undervolted + cleaned & repasted the cooling system, it still shooted up to 80-85 C and that's on thick laptop like 7559.
I don't know why Dell made this. They should just made G3 like G5 with cheaper material but not too thin like this.
PS. Even this thin, this laptop still weighted 2.5 kg?
Ninew Khongthongsamutr I would rather have someone to make a custom chassy just to get the proper cooling in.
Ninew Khongthongsamutr that's a really long name
Yeah...I got a laptop from HP that's pretty much kicked the bucket because of this. Didn't last long (Partially because the battery for that model was also garbage. It was recalled due to something related to fire.)
Dark Dodgers I have an HP Elitebook 8440p, and i am glad that it isn't thin as a plastic toy.
I have a g3 with a the i5-8300h and a gtx 1060 max q and while gaming the gpu / cpu don't go over 70 c. I havent undervolted or anything and I even have nvidia's whisper mode on. No idea what dave was on while he stress tested but its not accurate at all.
I bring a Alienware 17 R4 to work, personally i dont care what other people think of its rgb lights on the side and its gaming look, as long as it can accomplish the work i need it to complete, i couldn't care less what my laptop looks like :)
Dave lee I love your channel because every single video feels professionally made. Keep up the good work!!!!
Heyo, I’ve been using this laptop for just over a week now, and honestly it’s perfect for me. I’m in college, so it’s easy enough to carry around, works well for classes, and when it’s plugged in, it can run more demanding games, and I can use Adobe Premiere Pro pretty smoothly as well. The thermals haven’t proved themselves to be a huge issue for me so far. Great vid!
So how is it now my friend? After a year?
Yeah how was it? Isn't 2.5kg heavy?
Hello
TMI Cygon no not really it’s normal laptop weight
@DaveLee great video as always :D I am looking for a thin gaming laptop below 1000 usd, any recommendation??? I have the G7 in mind because the specs are good for the money you are paying but the device is to thick
do the dell g5
Again, Thank you so much for your insights and reviews on gaming laptops. I'm glad that I got the G5 (G7 was not available in my region) based on your reviews of all the different laptops in the market.
Back with the cool small intros, love it! Happy Canada day from Montreal!
His definition of entry level is different from mine..
Its time to make a video on g3 (3590)
thanks for reviewing this Dave! was waiting for your review on this laptop hehe
The reason I always come back to Dave for reviews is that he doesn't pull punches. Much love.
Can you do a review of the newest hp pavilion gaming 15?
i had received this product yesterday.Which was sent to me by my uncle.All i need to know is i need to install an hdd in this piece.Which 1TB model is best. Pease help me either if it is you or your team. Thanks in advance
What can you say after a year of use? How cooling works?
@@azuresnake6301 laptop works fine
To be frank i didn't use it for any gaming 😂
Just for normal works like autocad, browsing, movies and stuff.
I can say fan's make very negigible noise.
During multiple operations like watching movies on one tab and a download in the background
You can hear the fan noise.
Excellent review, thank you! You convinced me buying this device with a simple argument: "Less flashy looking, so if you bring this to work and don't want it to stand out as like a gaming device...". That sentence was the deal breaker for me!
Amir T. LMAO i dont thing you know what deal breaker means..
@@artist3856 um that actually is a deal breaker for people that. so it's either you dont know what a deal breaker is or dont consider a "flashy look" to be a deal breaker at all. the laptop passes as multi-purpose pretty well, so it can indeed be a deal breaker.
Been waiting for this. Thanks Dave!!!
"It's not an aluminum tank..."
> Aluminum, a very soft metal.
> Tank, implying strong.
It's one or the other...
thanks dwight schrute
Aluminum is one of the lightest metals too.
I'm pretty sure he meant it that way :)
Lmao
The thernals are the deal breaker for me otherwise it would've been just perfect for the price
nah man, I own exact same model, undervolted gpu and cpu, now cpu hits 74C max, I think that's pretty good
I should liquid metal my Acer Nitro...
i am also a bit concerned about its heat issue..does it get too much hot?
Ana Kakulia how much did you undervolt each?
Ana Kakulia How much did you undervolt? I'm relatively new to it. What were your voltage and did you use thermal paste as well?
Your videos are so soothing man, mostly because of your voice and presentation. Love them.👍👍
I love how much effort you put in every video you make. Keep going like this!
Cheapest "looking" gaming laptop indeed...
lol the look is one of the coolest things in this laptop
ToMeK3001pro indeed I hate the all red flashy look that most laptops have....this laptop and other g5 and g7 models are great looking they provide gaming performance in a not so different design so u could use this at college or work and no one would even know that it is for gaming
Sycho Nachos - 90% of gaming laptops be lookin like G A M E R ! ! IM A GAMING MACHINEEEE
@@dirtyasianmafia2310 I no I hate it. I hate the RGB and led aesthetics everyone has. So corny and geeky.
1:05 Not an Anti-glare
1:11 somehow it's an Anti-glare
True tho 😂 maybe he swapped it with another?
Thank u for this video, was actually looking at getting a laptop from the G series. I really appreciate the information from this video. Thank u Dave
DAVE, this is a message from a huge fan [me] of yours: " i love the way you are speaking and how it makes me feel as if you really are trying to convince a person in front of you, who's certainly NOT there! in fact, i didn't have a chance to watch any of your videos until recently, tbt you have become one of my favorite tech youtubers along side with austin evans and DEFINTELY -my current best- marques brownlee.. i don't get easily impressed but you actually did impress me easily!" i hope you get to read this comment
he just roasted what im on righbt now... great
Best laptop O've ever had and I can use it for both gaming and school.
Dave, you never talked about cooling stands, I think you should... just saying...
Why should he? Cooling stands aren't really necessary unless you're using a laptop with exceptionally shitty cooling or your laptop is several years old and you haven't cleaned the fans or repasted.
Juuhazan 😂😂😂
Your camera and lighting setup is just amazing!
I really learn a lot from you in daily basis. respect. a genuine guy.
Can u do a proper review of the HuaWei Matebook X Pro? It needs more attention!
dale chen And also about the after sale services coz this brand seems new in the laptop market.
It is very expansive for its hardware
Huawei is actually is considered ban in the united state but you still can get it here
itzishichan xD banned?? By whom lmao. Huawei is Targeting the USA with their products, much more sales. Even Microsoft sells them, and they are top priority to huawei
dale chen Fr, it’s a windows MacBook.
Can you do a review of the HP pavilion power 15
Awesome video and review, as always. Concise and matter-of-fact.
I like your reviews because there quick and they give you valuable information
When g5?
I love black people.
How dare they make laptop in 2018 without usb c and with Ethernet?
my g3 has ethernet just not usb c but i dont use a lot of devices that use usb type c
Bought this in early 2019, still using it now
Hey Dave, this video was the reason I subscribed you! Keep up the reviews!
It has an option for a GTX 1060 with Max Q Design, which should have better thermals, right?
I'd like to know too. I just ordered the G3 17 with the 1060 Max Q.
1060 max q will have better thermals than a 1060. 1060 Max Q is around 80 TDP where a 1060 is 120 TDP. A 1050 TI is 70-75 TDP and a 1050 is 45-50 TDP. The less TDP, the less heat it produces.
+hjorte I ordered the exact same one as you, in blue.
I have white one, at least the keyboard deck looks better :D
+pk13910, what power adapter did they spec yours with? (see order confirmation). Mine is spec'ed with the 130 watt which is wrong, I think. I think it should be the 180 watt. I have asked Dell about it and awaiting response.
is it ok if i bought it for my college stuff? cuz already have a high end desktop for gaming?
Yes sir! Probably more than enough of horsepower to fuel that work. Go for it!
@@rocket_8903 thanks!
Thank you for this review.
The best G3 review on RUclips in my opinion.
Finally someone properly reviewed the G3, which is the most reasonable one out of all G marked Dell laptops.
Don't let this you from the fact that I didn't say distract
Dude I was looking at that like 3 mins trying to understand.
Lmaoo must’ve been bored huh
wtf
How did you make your intro
Boi I was waiting for this review!!
Nice video as always Dave.
Hey Dave, what do you think about HP Pavilion Power 15? I need some advice.
Thanks for this! Could you review the new version of Acer Nitro 5 with 8th gen CPU?
It looks spinny, which is cool...but it only has a GTX 1050? Yikes.
Cavey manta isn't 1050ti?
Ooh, I finally found the 8th gen Intel + GTX 1050 Ti combo Nitro 5. It's on its own separate page.
8300H + 1050 Ti
www.amazon.com/Acer-Nitro-AN515-i5-8300H-NVIDIA/dp/B07C715KNT
Companies can easily make well built design using same materials and components without topping the budget.
But, They don't...
Muhammad Aqib That's how business goes.
They don't because it's not possible. You simply cannot get everything you want without a high price (or going used), and you can't get everything period. You think you're getting a good deal on a laptop (see: the cheap stuff Dave reviews), they're actually cheaping out somewhere. Screen, ports, keyboard, build quality, the list goes on.
Good shit always costs more, I don't like MacBook Pros and their hefty price tag but they're built like tanks
No doubt they're built well. Too bad their designed as a blatant "fuck you" to customizability.
I just bought the G7 with a 1060 Max Q, i7-8750H, 16GB of ram, 128 GB SSD, and a 1TB HDD (upgraded to a 1TB SSD, May put a 2tb SSD in there in the future) for $899. With the 1tb SSD, the total price was $1089, so I’m very happy with it. I also re-pasted the thermal paste and I’m getting much better thermals with even lower fan speeds. Loving it so far!!
The 2018 HP Omen has been released for almost 2 months now and yet not one channel has made a PROPER review of it. There are some videos out there but nothing near to Dave Lee here. Kindly make a review on it. P.S it has thinner bezels and is a great competitor to the dell G7.
Aryan Agarwal how much does it cost?
Ide v Currently its for $999 on microcenter with 6gb GTX 1060 and 16gigs of ram.
Just ruined every thought of me buying this laptop ...there was little to no positive reasons to even consider
Kdouble0 same and I was gonna buy it
Lol, same here. I was pretty set on buying the G3 before everyone started complaining about thermal design and heat issues. Deal breaker for me.
So what did you guys end up getting?
G5 review PLEASE
Those lightbulbs looks sick 👌🏻 and where is the wallpaper link? Great job as always, keep it up!
Thanks for the review Dave, I enjoy watching your videos...
I was contemplating on getting either the Dell G3 17 or Acer A517-51G and I ended up buying two G3's because the deal was too good to pass up.
The first one is in Blue for myself with a i5 and GTX 1050, I don't game too much on laptops (I have a gaming desktop) and it's mainly going to be used for office work and multimedia consumption with some gaming.
The second I bought for my nephew is in Black with a i7 and GTX 1060, he games a lot on his laptop and also uses it for school and multimedia consumption.
The laptops have not been delivered yet however I'm confident we'll be happy with them when they arrive all considering the price/performance ratio of these G3's.
In terms of the looks, I'm not complaining but I'm with you on the stripes looking cheap/tacky, from other reviews online it seems the chassis is pretty solid and that's more important to me.
I'm going to be re-pasting the thermal paste with some good stuff and undervolting the CPU within safe limits to get the laptops to run as cool as possible after my return period expires.
It's $599 right now - oh and the black looks 1000x better than the blue
Microsoft website?
@@aletinikhil4770 the microsoft online store. it's a black friday sale
So for 599 is it a good deal?
@@aletinikhil4770 In my opinion, yes. It's a very good value. Watch the review again. Keep in mind the fact that the black version that's for sale is much better looking than the blue version.
Still can’t afford it lmao
struggles
Pizza Fox You are not the only one.
Since when is 750$ cheap for a laptop?!
Angel Gutierrez yea its almost 2 ps4s or xbox ones
Pizza Fox me too
Absolutely love your videos, would love to see one on recommended/possible upgrades for laptops. I'm running a Dell Inspiron 7577 1060 max-q and would like to upgrade the RAM and the wireless, would love a video with your input on best wireless cards, RAM etc to put into a laptop/where to buy it/ general overview on upgrades in terms of performance and aesthetic! (Skins etc)
Thanks for the review! Could you do a review of the newest version of Acer Nitro 5 with 8th gen cpu? And which one should i go for? Acer Nitro 5 or this Dell G3? Really appreciate it! :D
Intresting ☺
Finally!
The Smiling Sloth wut
They made the color scheme keeping you in mind.
Thanks for the review, I purchased the i7 model now in december 2018, then I updated to 1.5.1 bios and the thermals looks very good for me ( I also undervolted a bit). I´m really very happy with the G3 right now..
What about display in g3
@@omprakash5294 Maybe a little lifeless and with not enough brightness for outdoor but I think the screen is not that bad if you compare with other products (in the same price range) in my country (Brazil).
Can you edit 4k video with this G3 ??
@@MANISHALWANIS I never tried with 4k video editing but in theory this laptop have enough potential to do it. Sorry friend!
Should is get the gamming hp pavilion
Cheapest laptop with i5 quad core and mx 150 gpu????
Abdullah Sultan go for Acer aspire 5
but think of not streaming ....cause mx150 is very very bad in streaming
Acer Aspire 5 or even cheaper is the Lenovo 310 version but Lenovo has shit battery for lower price.
Great Review ! Does it comes with 2x4Go or 1x8Go RAM ?
Hi, nice review dav. Good joob! Btw, talking about thermal what if you do some review about msi gaming laptop? Since the msi cooling system is known as best cooling system so far
Review hp gaming pavilion too
If this design with aluminum body, class display and 1070, it will be my dream laptop
And it'll cost over 1800$
its like saying if polo comes with acceleration and power of Benz, I will buy it

This is the issue i have money to pay but there is no laptop for what i want “Architectural design”.
Xps, the graphics card not enough.
Aero 15x, the design is so ugly.
Razer 15inch, there is no razer shop in my country.
Msi gs65, the screen hinge looks so ugly
Rog zephres, looks so gamery.
Rog scar two, the keyboard aria looks and feels so bad.
And the list go on.....
It’s so hard to find something like xps with good graphics card or razer but from respectable company or rog with less gaming themes.
Mahmood Muhenned Get the Razer laptop from online, it’s way cheaper than getting it from retail stores

Yeah i was thinking about it, it’s still annoying to wait overseas shipping and in the end i will get laptop with zero support in case something went wrong
Great.
I've seen the G3 rifle, the G3 shock watch, and now a G3 laptop.
Thanks for the review, I was really looking forward for your opinion. Overall, I’d still buy it.
4:34 "A longer lifespan because of the better thermals". Hmmm, how many people have had a laptop die because of bad thermals before it reached the end of its useful life anyway? Not too many, I'd suggest. Willing to be proved wrong here but for me that's a bit of a red herring. Nice review tho, thx.
davidf2281 im also genuinely curious as well
It is a fact that better thermals provide longer life span of any pc components.
My laptop is unusable due to its thermal.. Though its 6 years old
had the same thought. My 6 year old laptop is still working even though cpu temps can reach as high as 98 and I just continue using it. Though most of the time its running on 85
All parts will inevitably wear. More heat simply speeds that process.
idk dave, i feel you dont get it anymore, yo channel is just filled with overpriced stuff. What about this: dell g3 i7 8750h with gtx1060 256ssd and 8gb of ram for 1100 usd and you change the pannel to a 90% srgb 120hz3ms on for freaking 100 dolar us from ebay (changing the panel on the g3 only requires a pocket plastic card/id) . add 8 gbs of ram, fill the empty drive bay with another 250gb ssd, change de wireless card, undervolt and repaste. youre basically getting a 6 core 12 thread cpu with a desktop gpu on a thin and light chasis with a bussiness look and not jus another stupid red and black gaming laptop, even adding to the mix having a on the go gaming monitor on ir for under 1400 usd. Like come on, the thing even has thunderbolt 3 and ram expandability. how can it be less future proof. or idk, just buy a i5 mac with 500gb ssd and iris graphics i guess :0. Cheers from colombia, im studyng for a physician degree at a local public university. Do the dam vid about this. (then send me one of those 120hz panels for the dell g3 1050ti i just ordered xdxdxxd).
Hey dave please review the Asus FX504 which has similar specs. I wanted to know how it stands against the Dell G3. Do a comparison if possible too.
Love your vids! Subscribed!
Cheapest??? Man what I call cheap isn’t the same as this.
"The Cheapest Gaming Laptop from Dell"
with subpar specs..
Mark Noble If it was $200, then it would've been sold out really quick.
Mark Noble Cheapest is a relative term. It does not necessarily mean cheap.
Mark Noble I just wait patiently for something in my price range. I got a laptop that isn't the best for under $500 that can play most games (so far Gears 4 is the only one that doesn't work) so far. Too lazy to look for the specs, but I remember it had an NVidia GForce 920MX. No SSD and the screen is 720. For me, the screen is my least favorite but I'm happy I didn't spend so much.
Please review hp Omen 15-dc
Oh yeah another great video from dave! 👌
The biggest benefit of g3 is that they offer it with 17" screen. I have the g3 and have no issues with temperatures or anything, thought mine is higher spec one
fanstaticcarbs it runs warm, but doesn't throttle or anything even after hours and hours of heavy load.
i have the g7 15, i dont know how in gods name you cart that 17 around lol
Bidwellz9 i go to the gym. But in all seriousness it's heavy, yeah.
do you think that 15 version of it will have bad cooling?
Allif01 nope, should be just fine
😒😒
Please review msi gl638 rc
Can you make a video on how to maintain the longevity of a gaming laptop. Like how to take care of it (how much to charge, overcharging, cleaning etc etc)
This is a great review, thanks!
For $750 you can get a GTX 1070 and a Ryzen 5 1400
iAmmarXGames and nothing else. This is a complete system for 750
I still can make a complete system for $750 that has a GTX 1060
iAmmarXGames but the processor, RAM and other important specs will suffer.
Hi pcpartpicker.com/list/m6xFXP
how about the portability? I think that’s the main purpose of a laptop
You guys are too rich. I can’t even read these damn comments.
Great video review!!
Can you please suggest me which one of these laptop would be better for 4k video editing and occasional gaming, ASUS TUF FX504 (i5-8300H) or ASUS FX553VD (i7-7700HQ).
I would really appreciate any other suggestions in the same price range.
Your Contents are really good, great laptop.
