Design
Honestly, I wish more gaming laptops looked like this. Sure, the Dell G3 isn't made of the most premium materials, but it's stylish without any excess. The black plastic lid features a Dell logo flanked by two lines, giving it a bit of an edge without screaming that it's a gaming machine. It opens on a single hinge under the 15-inch, FHD display surrounded by moderately sized bezels. The plastic deck is smooth to the touch, and, while not quite soft-touch materials, is comfortable when you put your wrists down on it.

The blue accents are also on the keyboard and the touchpad, as well as on the feet of the laptop and on the vents on the back. There's also a bit of racecar motif on the back, with the G3 logo with vents on each side, and the same G3 logo above the keyboard, as if it were a dashboard.

Display
The weakest point on the Dell G3 15 is the display. The 13.3-inch FHD screen just isn't as vivid as its competitors. When I watched the trailer for Charlie's Angels, colors from orange explosions, green dresses and blue lights outside of a museum all looked kind of muted. When I played Control, too, colors like Jesse Faden's red hair were bland.
That's because the screen covers just 63 percent of the sRGB color gamut, falling short of the 76-percent entry-level gaming average, and far below both the Nitro 5 and the Legion.
