Dell G16

[_Lars_]

I'm looking for a new gaming laptop and I stumbled over the Dell G16.

The specs look pretty good to me: 

Intel Core i9-13900HX 

RTX 4070

32GB DDR5

1TB  M.2-PCIe-NVMw-SSD

 

However, I find the price suspiciously low: 1949€ (~2130 USD). Comparable laptops from ASUS or Linovo are at least 1000€ more expensive. 

Does anyone have experience with the Dell G16 or know why it is so cheap?

just hazarding a guess:

- cheaply built

- economy of scale

- McAfee trial and other adware

- they ream the rest out of you trough surrpise add-on warranty packages on your bill.

Honestly, the price looks fine to me. Just the fact that theres so much ram in a system with a 13900HX and a 4070 is a bit weird. I would expect this to be priced around 2400 bucks or 2500 but this seems fine to me. Also which laptops from asus or lenovo? (like what lineup?)

e.g lenovo legion pro 7i (82WR001LGE) :2999€, ASUS ROG Flow X16 GV601 GV601VI-NL034X: 3299€

the reason behind the flow is cuz it's made to be a light laptop so it would cost more to put such specs in the laptop. The other I think is for the features (and other things like maybe a vapour chamber)

 

The dell might just be really heavy but it should have sufficient cooling. IMO I don't think the Dell is a scam as they're a reputable enough company to know
