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 Dell G3 we reviewed came with an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1650 (4GB GDDR5), which will play most games on medium or low settings. When I played Control at 1080p on medium settings, the graphically demanding game was steady at 40 fps as I took out enemies in the Astral Plane.

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.
