We shared information late last month regarding the Dell G15 5530, which features an RTX 4060 and a Core i7-13650HX, available for just $899.99 at Dell's official site. We mentioned that this was a great offer because, along with the powerful RTX 4060 GPU and the Core i7-13650HX CPU, customers would also receive a quick 360 Hz 15.6-inch IPS display.
New AMD Variant on Sale
If you missed out on that previous offer, there’s good news! The AMD version of this laptop, the Dell G15 5535, is currently priced at only $849.99. This marks a significant $250 reduction from its usual price of $1,100.
In typical Dell fashion, you can further reduce the price by using a 10% coupon code, which is available for those who sign up for their email list.
Specifications Overview
On the specs side, the AMD Ryzen-based Dell G15 5535 comes equipped with a Ryzen 7 7840HS Zen 4 CPU, an RTX 4060 laptop GPU, 16 GB of RAM, 512 GB of storage, and a 15.6-inch IPS display. The display offers a solid 165 Hz refresh rate and features FHD resolution, full 100% sRGB gamut coverage, and a response time of just 3 ms.
Our review of the Dell G15 5530, which is very similar to the G15 5535, shows that Dell has successfully built a robust machine that meets essential gaming needs.
Gaming Performance
Firstly, the Dell G15 is specifically designed for 1080p gaming, and it does just that. Our review unit, which had a Core i7-13650HX and an RTX 4050, could run games like F1 22 at over 170 FPS with FHD/high settings. Since the RTX 4060 is more powerful than the RTX 4050, you can expect most modern AAA games to run at 60 FPS without issues.
The 15.6-inch screen backs up Dell's claims of 100% sRGB and a 3 ms response time, as we recorded 98% sRGB coverage and a Gray-to-Gray response time of 3.39 ms. Moreover, the screen has a decent contrast ratio of 1,524:1 and a pleasing brightness level of 320 nits.
Final Thoughts
While the Dell G15 5535's display is suitable for gamers, don't forget to download our free ICC profile from the review page to enhance the color accuracy of the screen.
Also noteworthy, for such a large gaming laptop, the Dell G15 boasts a solid battery life of 6.5 hours in our WLAN test.
In summary, if you can overlook the hefty size of the Dell G15, this laptop offers great value and is an excellent purchase at the current discounted price.
