My only gripe about this review is the comments about the numpad. This seems to be the only dedicated gpu laptop Dell has left with a number pad. It's a shame that both you and Dell don't understand that people might want one laptop for both business and pleasure. I still use my old g5 15 laptop with a 1060maxq and the 4k OLED because Dell doesn't make anything that can fill both roles. It's also a shame that the most recent version of the g15 doesn't even have a 1440p version anymore.

I want a numpad on my laptop, not because I will ever use it “I won’t” but because laptops with numpad keyboards have the WASD keys and the rest of the keys pushed over to the left, so that when I have the screen centered to my face the wasd keys are in a natural spot rather than me needing to put my hand and wrist over to the right uncomfortably to play or have the screen off centered with my face.

My friend ordered a higher-end model from Australia through his brother to be sent to Iran. The first week of usage was fine until the Alienware software started acting weird. Long story short, many of the sensors in the mainboard and also the GPU were faulty and my friend had to RMA it back to Australia. You cannot fathom how hard it is for someone in Iran, with minimal access to proper international postage when it comes to electronics and foreign customer support due to sanctions and whatnot and also the unbelievable costs, to return a product to the company. The only good thing in this ordeal was the Dell support who guided him throughout the procedure and decided to replace his laptop for him.

I had a 2020 G15SE 5505. It was my first foray into PC gaming, and I had no idea what I was doing. It was a bit of a double-edged sword, because while it was really not good, it did force me to actually learn how to optimize a PC using 3rd party programs. I had to basically jailbreak it just to gain control over the fan speed. Also had to repaste it because CPU Temps would regularly get above 100C during normal gaming. I now have an ASUS ROG Zephyrus S17 with the i9-11900H and 3070. It was mind-blowing to me how much easier it was to manage performance on an actual premium laptop vs. the Dell.

5:00 I manage the hardware and OS for our organization and learned long ago that generally you should use 1st party (Intel AMD) drivers before trying 2nd party/OEM drivers(Dell Lenovo) and only user 2nd party drivers if 1st party drivers dont work. I cant tell you how many times i've imaged up a newly added model, and forgot to bake the 1st party driver into the imaging media, and something doesnt work right. Example: We have some Thinkpad L380 Yogas, and with the Lenovo drivers for the WiFi they kept getting blacklisted by the AP and DHCP controller. Turns out Lenovo had added a "feature" that scanned every machine's MAC/IP/Host every few minutes supposedly to make it faster to access machines on the local network, despite all of this information being available at any time in mere milliseconds. The problem was fixed by installing Intel drivers and blocking the install of Lenovo drivers.

Hi Jarrod. I just wanted to start off by saying that I absolutely Love your videos. In fact, it was one of your videos that helped me decide to buy my new gaming laptop. That being said I'm glad you posted this video because I had a very similar problem with my new Dell G15 5511 that I purchased 2 months ago during Dell's Black Friday in July event here in Canada. At first everything was fine, then after a couple of weeks I started having nightmares with Alienware Command Centre etc. and all of a sudden started getting all sorts of weird error messages. I googled the problem and found a solution that worked for a few others. I tried this myself and now everything works perfectly. This may not work for others, but it definitely worked for me and I thought I would share. What I did was go into Windows Settings>Device Security>Core Isolation and then turn off the memory integrity. (Apparently this is something to do with Windows Defender Security, which restricts certain settings on your computer) Doing this solved my problem and now my new G15 laptop runs like butter. Again, I'm not sure if this helps, but it did for me and a few others I've spoken too. All the best Jarrod. Love your channel. :) P.S. Alienware Command Centre was taking forever to load before I did this, but now it loads instantly when I power up my laptop.

I was torn between this, the Scar 15 and the Legion 5i Pro as my much needed update. The 5i Pro has just had a price drop to £1699 - the Scar is sitting at £2300 but is an i9... there is a Ryzen Scar 15 at £1630 but that's only got a FHD screen. Looks like the 5i Pro may be the best choice... there are too many issues for the G15 to be in the running...

I've had my G15 for a little over 2 months now and my experience with it has been ehh at the beginning but okay now. When I first ordered my G15 on the 2nd day of using it, I got a blue screen and my USB ports stop working even my type C port. I told customer support what was going on and they took care of it quickly, they fixed the issue and sent it back in less than a week. Been almost 2 months since that happen and I've had no issues, just acting like a normal computer only thing I wish was different was better battery life, but for a gaming laptop, I wasn't buying it for good battery life. So for my first gaming laptop and picked up the 3050 ti with i5 11 gen, for about 650 CA plus tax when it was on sale, it's been an alright purchase so fair.

I had bought the same spec'ed G15 back in May (Intel 12700h, RTX3070ti) but returned it in the same week. Because it was missing the second SSD slot as Jarrod pointed out and also they missed an extra paid for option which was 4 zone RGB keyboard. I'm still using an old Dell Inspiron 7577 that I bought in 2018. Trouble-free so far (touch wood!) and build quality wise Dell seem to have regressed since. My 7577 has far better build quality and also so easy to upgrade/change component. I'm eye'ing on Legion 5 pro later in the year during the black friday.

I bought the newest G15 5521 SE model with the 2k 240hz screen, RTX3060 140W tdp, 1tb m.2 disk + 16gb ram. The first day of receiving the unit immediately after hitting the power on button the screen was black, despite the sounds in the background, rgb lights on the keyboard, power brick indicator, the screen was dead. The self diagnostics light also blinks which indicates a dead screen. After about 30 emails and 3 calls to Dell they sent me a new unit. This time the new unit had a working screen wooohooo! but exactly like you said, I opened AWCC and everything just froze only the mouse was moveable but everything else is frozen. This went on for 10 min where I just force shut down the laptop. I went and updated the BIOS, AWCC, Nvidia Driver and other updates now after 3 days of using it, running CSGO, Halo Infinite, Cyberpunk2077, seems to run fine with no more frozen issues.

Hey Jarrod I was actually surprised to see the less performance in G mode compared to performance mode without G mode enabled. I recently purchased dell g15 intel i5-11400h and rtx 3050ti around a month ago and have been daily driving this thing very aggressively. Now, about the G mode I think there are options in G mode as well in the Alienware command centre which I noticed, there are 2 options in which one prefers performance and other rapid cooling, I guess changing that option could be the solution. I always keep it on rapid cool to increase the life but it still kicks my gpu to 90-95W and sometimes CPU to more than 55W.

I've been running my Dell G15 5511 Intel version all of 2022 and have had zero issues, I did however upgrade the laptop myself with a 2 tb Samsung SSD and 32gb of memory. The laptop has been a dream even before I did the upgrades but the storage is mandatory and I can understand why that would be a deal breaker for some but as for me I like working on my computers so it wasn't a big deal other than the extra cash to upgrade (I did get mine for under $600 direct from HP with the Intel i5 and Nvidia 3050 Ti). This sounds like a serious case of really, really bad luck, just my humble opinion.

I bought the 2021 model of this laptop around 6 months ago (Ryzen 7 5800H processor, and RTX 3060 config). So far the only issue I ever had with it was the Alienware Command Center, that software was always very finicky to work as intended (clearly it's a bad port that was initially meant to work only with Alienware laptops). But other than that, it works flawlessly. I believe the issue on this one does come from the Intel CPUs, I'm pretty sure it won't have the same issue on the newer Ryzen 7 (6800H).

I got this laptop 12th gen with a 3060. Worked great for the first year then all the blue screens you spoke of started happening. Then at times it would restart or crash when I plugged in the charger or unplugged it. I really wanted to like this laptop considering it had great specs for the price but ive had to do 2 factory resets which temporarily fixed the issue but they would eventually start occurring. When I took it back go the store I purchased it from (was still under 2 year insurance) they didn't know what to do and just asked if they could wipe it lol. It's been fine since then, will try downloading the graphics drivers like you did. Honestly, idk if i will ever buy a dell laptop again. Maybe just this model is a dumpster fire. It has nice specs but the software issues are a nightmare. Even if the issue has been fixed via updates, I've moved on and purchased a Rog g14. I just couldn't trust this laptop anymore. Not sure if I even want to sell it and have someone else go through this shit. Might just keep it or give it to best friend who doesn't have a computer just so we can game together.

Maybe mine was originally one of the problem laptops as mentioned in the video that was sent back originally, but again, for the money I got it for (sub $500) this is an absolutely wonderful laptop. Obviously this negative review is based on the experience of having two laptops to test both blue screen. Ultimately, you're not going to come away with a good review. I would like to see a follow up maybe. I think the g15 is a good machine and deserves another shot.

My G15 has been an absolute workhorse since I bought it for $700 back during covid, its the Ryzen edition which probably explains why I never got bluescreens and its ironically gone up in price since then. I did what I always do though which is immediately replace the ram in the laptop and do a fresh install of windows to get rid of bloatware. I discovered gaming mode is useless without alienware command center, so I had to reinstall that. For the price I got it at, this laptop is 100% worth it, but at the current prices id have just bought a lenovo legion with literally the same specs.

I have bought this laptop and didn't face any software issues, but coming to the part where you were talking about second SSD upgrade where you think a part is missing is true. You actually need a proprietary SSD mounting bracket for second slot and Dell doesn't provide you with that. They have done this so that if you wish to upgrade your storage you will be forced to do it through dell. I called them and found that they won't just provide the mounting bracket on it's own, I would need to buy the whole upgrade that is SSD and all other missing parts from Dell only.

I have the Dell G15 5515, AMD 7 5800H, nVidia RTX 2060 version. I got the blue screen twice (randonly on idle, never during use) in my 6 months of using the device. The thermals could do better during Summer but had no real issues with it, running games like Cyberpunk on max settings ~45FPS even during Summer. During one Windows re-install the Alienware did not work, I managed to find an older version of the app under Windows folder and it worked fine from there. The problem is the silly Alienware app and the Microsoft store forcing updates from there. I dual-boot with Linux, and with Linux I have 0 issues, everything works great. My monitor is the 120Hz one and I watched your other video about the ghosting (I believe), but I do not really notice it during fast-screen rotating paced games. Laptops are about how you take care of them, a midrange laptop will have similar performance even after 5 years of use. My old Dell notebook has similar performance after 6 years, still starts up Windows in a matter of seconds, usable for any kind of work, gaming is poor due to a horrible Hybrid 530 "graphics" card. I have seen people buy a 2000$+ laptop only for it to perform worse in just over a year over a 1000$ laptop that's been taken care of. Jarrod, I give you an absolute 10/10 for the T-shirts in your videos, great choice. I recommend Ne Obliviscaris as well.

So, I decide to get a refund. So finally, 5 weeks since purchase date , I got refunded. And the funny thing is just a week ago before I got the refund, the private seller advertised for $4.6K.

By carefully I mean grabbing it like you're a waiter, hands on the middle of the laptop holding it, grabbing it from the middle edge like you would normally do from the bag, pieces of it broke, literally broke off. the fucking keyboard was replace 3 times, and even now, my touchpad would randomly stop working and act like a mouse, the gesture would randomly stop working 3/5 times whenever you use it. The battery is utter bullshit, you can't take it out anywhere unless you get the 240W charger which is the size of a brick and you can't pack anything else on your backpack. Fucking thermals are terrible for me, even leaving it on standby and the damn thing would heat up until you have the equivalent of the fucking sun. Can't return it also because my dad bought it from retailer, such a waste of money.

@@Yayaloy9 See I use mine with an external, keyboard , monitor and mouse and it's only mobile when we go away camping. I will agree battery life is less than optimal but with a 68wh battery and such juicy components its never going to last long. We can usually get a long film done if in battery saver and the brightness is turned down a touch. Thermally the laptop is most happy when the ambient temps are around 21 degrees. Those in hot countries won't get on well with this laptop. I employ various tricks in the middle of UK summer to keep temps down and that's usually turning off turbo boost. Now we are in September it's fine to run full performance and will likely stay that way till June.

I have the cheaper 3060 ryzen version of this laptop and I don't experience any issues besides very minor ones, I would definitely recommend it if you are looking for a budget one.

What about next year's G15? Is there any news or is it too early? Not being able to add an extra SSD now is quite disappointing

I just got dell g15 5520 i5 12th gen and rtx 3050 The thing Jarrod saying is quite opposite for me Alienware cc software opens instantly and thermals are quite good compared to acer nitro 5 with same config. I gamed for hours and temps average at 65C to 70C(spiderman remastered pc with high settings). There's some issues with i7 version. Two things i regret is 2nd ssd slot and a thunderbolt 4 port!!

dell has took a nose dive with their products. Even with the normal dell inspirons and docks we have in the office, it's a nightmare. i stayed clear away from alienware because of that experience
