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.

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.

I have been using the Dell G15 5530 for just over a month now. I have found the desktop and gaming performance to be fantastic, it has run every recent AAA game I've thrown at it with stable framerates at minimum above 60 FPS. I connect the laptop to my 4k 120hz gaming monitor but run it at 1440p due to my monitors limited HDMI 2.0 port, however this laptop can do 4K 120HZ as it has a HDMI 2.1 port.You are able to upgrade the RAM and the SSD ports, I personally upgraded both for future proofing and because I personally find 512GB of storage to be too low for gaming these days.Pros:- Great gaming performance, even when on stock 16GB ram.- Alienware command centre is a simple piece of software and allows me to modify performance with ease.- My dell provides all the updates it needs and automatically installs them without hassle, even BIOS updates whilst working together with Windows update.- Nice screen with decent brightness and colours for a mid tier gaming laptop.- Decent enough ports, however this is a plus and a con (see below).Cons:- Cannot properly run VR headsets. The USB-C displayport does not connect to the Nvidia GPU, it only runs off onboard Intel graphics which does not provide enough power to run VR games at good framerates. You might be able to run very old VR titles at 40-60 FPS but this is not very optimal. A real shame.- Slight overheating issues. I've been running heavy games at 1080p and 1440p for as long as I have owned the laptop. I have the laptop on a flat surface with the back not raised (This can lower temps by a further 1-2C). I have had a blue screen one time which followed by having difficulty booting Windows, shutting down and waiting two minutes then starting back up solved this and everything has gone back to normal. I have since bought a laptop cooler to hopefully prevent this issue from ever occuring again, however this should not be a requirement....though maybe I could unlucky.- Battery brick is huge and might not be good for people who travel a lot, also battery life isn't ideal but I always plug in so not an issue for me.All in all, a worthy purchase if the cons do not concern you.

Laptop works as intended. Good spec. Just missing the rgb keyboard lights as pictured.

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
