Get your back-to-school game on with this affordable Dell laptop.
PC Gamer's expert reviewers spend hours testing and comparing products and services so you can choose the best for you.Dell G15 | 15.6-inch | Nvidia GeForce RTX 3050 Ti | Intel Core i5 11260H | 512GB SSD | 8GB DDR4 | 1080p | 120Hz |The RTX 3050 Ti isn't exactly a dream GPU, but for this sort of cash you're usually in integrated graphics territory, and this is significantly better than that. You should be able to get most games running smoothly at the native 1080p resolution.
Obviously most serious gaming laptops start at around $1,000 and go from there. That's not really the kind of machine you want to be lugging to and from college though. What you want is something cheaper, something that comes in at around $686 say. You know, like thisIt's fair to say that this laptop isn't going to challenge a serious gaming machine, but it definitely will allow you to enjoy a game or two without paying a small fortune for the privilege.
The Intel Core i5 11260H may be a last-gen CPU now, but it's still a 6-core, 12-thread chip that can Turbo up to 4.4GHz and is no slouch when it comes to gaming or more-serious loads. The 512GB SSD is a decent size for this much cash as well, giving you plenty of room for games… I mean your school work.
The only real downside with this machine is the amount of RAM that it ships with—a single 8GB stick of DDR4-3200 is a bit miserly and you'll want to upgrade to 16GB by adding another 8GB stick for a smoother experience. Overall, this is a decent machine for any gamer getting ready to head back to college. And that $483 saving certainly doesn't hurt.
