The new Dell Inspiron G15-5515 is a great mid-range gaming laptop that offers high performance without breaking the bank.<\/p>\n

Currently, you can find this laptop selling on Evetech.co.za<\/a> for R25,999 \u2013 which is great value for money considering what the G15 offers you.<\/p>\n

Specs<\/h3>\n

The laptop comes stocked with an AMD Ryzen 7 5800H CPU with 8 cores and 16 threads, which can be boosted up to 4.4GHz.<\/p>\n

This provides you with plenty\u00a0of power, particularly when combined with its 32GB of GDDR4 RAM and a 1TB Ultra-fast NVME SSD.<\/p>\n

A good processor means nothing to a gamer without an equally impressive graphics card, and the G15 thankfully doesn’t disappoint.<\/p>\n

It comes with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 GPU that offers up to 6GB GDDR6 of dedicated memory \u2013 which offers incredible performance and even supports the next-generation ray-tracing technology.<\/p>\n

The laptop display comes standard with a 15.6-inch anti-glare FHD panel, has a 1920 x 1080 resolution, and a 120Hz refresh rate \u2013 ensuring a fast and smooth gaming experience.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s also important to note that this G15 laptop comes with a MUX switch which can be accessed through the BIOS system \u2013 allowing you to bypass the integrated graphics to give you an FPS boost when you’re not connected to a monitor.<\/p>\n

Design<\/h3>\n

The Dell G15 is easy on the eyes with its cut-back and sleek design. It\u2019s made with a textured speckled resin that is derived from recycled plastic.<\/p>\n

The laptop comes with a customizable 4-zone RGB backlit keyboard that can be controlled using the Alienware Command Centre.<\/p>\n

Additionally, the Dell G15 comes with a ‘Game Shift” function that triggers a dynamic performance mode within the Alienware Command Centre which maximizes the fans\u2019 speed to keep your system cool while the processors work harder.

Ports and Slots<\/strong><\/p>\n

The G15 also has various ports, including a SuperSpeed USB 3.2, USB Type-C, and a USB 2.0 with PowerShare.<\/p>\n

\n

Convenience<\/h3>\n

The G15 comes with a 6 Cell 86WH long-life battery, giving it a run time of up to four and a half hours which far outperforms most gaming laptops.<\/p>\n

It weighs 2.7 kgs which is considered relatively light for a gaming laptop. However, its AC brick is bigger than average, which adds more weight and takes up more space in a backpack when you\u2019re on the move.<\/p>\n

\n

Verdict<\/h3>\n

For the asking price of R25,999, you\u2019re getting a laptop that can run modern games like Warzone or Cyberpunk 2077 on ultra-high settings at around 60 fps . While it achieves a maximum of 400 fps on less taxing games like CS:GO or Valorant.<\/p>\n

The hardware is also future-proof because the RTX 30-series is the latest release from Nvidia. This means the RTX 3060 should support the latest and upcoming games for many years to come.<\/p>\n
