1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,839
like a lot of things the laptop you choose can say a lot about you as an

2
00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:12,160
individual some are a fashion statement like the surface laptop with its deeply

3
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:17,960
colored aluminum finish and matching alcantara wrist rest others are

4
00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:20,480
utilitarian for the no-nonsense

5
00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:25,359
business-oriented professional crowd while still others are

6
00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:31,039
as far as we can tell pretty much pure displays of access

7
00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:36,399
and wealth as for this one over here the dell g3

8
00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:39,040
what kind of person would own one of these

9
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:43,200
by the look of things the rugged type of person

10
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:47,920
the kind of person who has made some compromises in the pursuit of

11
00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:53,039
price to performance but has the trade-off been worth it for him

12
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:58,640
and his fellow g3rs well join us as we take a look at a day

13
00:00:55,600 --> 00:01:03,460
in the life of a dell g3 owner

14
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:12,479
looking for an affordable and reliable vpn private internet access encrypts

15
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:15,840
your internet traffic and uses a safe protected ip check it out today through

16
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:20,080
the link below waking up at the crack of 10 o'clock

17
00:01:18,159 --> 00:01:26,320
except for tuesdays because of that one 8 am math class the dell g3 owner spills

18
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:28,320
out of bed and gets cleaned up he makes

19
00:01:26,320 --> 00:01:33,600
an attempt at grooming himself before finally after 30 painstaking

20
00:01:30,960 --> 00:01:38,240
seconds opting for a hat his muscles ripple as his five plus

21
00:01:36,320 --> 00:01:43,119
pounds of laptop gets stashed into his backpack for transportation followed by

22
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:47,680
his 1.3 pound power brick thanks to the g3s just over four and a

23
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:53,520
half hours in our battery life test this second part is a requirement

24
00:01:50,399 --> 00:01:56,079
here the dell g3 and its owner are on

25
00:01:53,520 --> 00:02:00,560
their home turf a quick gaming session during an early break period

26
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:05,680
compared to other gaming laptops it lacks some flash but the owner is quick

27
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:12,160
to point out how wise he was to forego RGB for more performance since at 850

28
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:15,840
dollars the g3 competes with much more expensive models

29
00:02:13,920 --> 00:02:21,440
getting into the game takes a little longer just 128 gigs of solid-state

30
00:02:18,879 --> 00:02:27,120
storage for the os and some applications means that most games will sit on the

31
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:28,319
one terabyte of molasses slow 5400 RPM

32
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:33,920
hard drive but once it hits the battlefield the g3

33
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:39,840
keeps up admirably once again housing a quad-core Intel core i5 8 gigs

34
00:02:36,959 --> 00:02:44,239
of RAM and an NVIDIA 1050 ti even modern aaa games can touch the top

35
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:48,959
frame rate that can be displayed by its 60hz 1080p monitor

36
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:53,599
albeit with some sacrifices many in-game details will have to be

37
00:02:50,959 --> 00:02:57,920
dropped to medium or low when brake time is almost over and it's

38
00:02:55,920 --> 00:03:03,760
time to start a last minute render or video export the g3 CPU will thermal

39
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:08,560
throttle briefly dropping down from its max 4 gigahertz turbo it will increase

40
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:13,680
its fan speed to a higher performance but still audibly comfortable level

41
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:20,400
then it settles in at about 3.3 gigahertz with temperatures in the 75 to

42
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:22,720
80 degree range but now the g3 and its

43
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:29,040
owner must be removed from their comfort zone to a teacher-assigned steady group

44
00:03:26,159 --> 00:03:33,599
producing the dell g3 here does not draw the attention of potential mates with

45
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:39,760
their gaze passing by its plastic exterior and large bezels to rivals with

46
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:43,760
harder slimmer chassis made of exotic materials like carbon fiber

47
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:49,680
but wait one needs help with homework here the g3

48
00:03:46,799 --> 00:03:54,319
keeps up and even sets itself apart the wide viewing angles afforded by its

49
00:03:51,599 --> 00:03:58,799
ips display help when multiple people want to share an excel document

50
00:03:56,480 --> 00:04:02,560
naturally taken on by the g3 with its greater processing power and dedicated

51
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:08,080
number pad and while others are donning dongles the

52
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:10,560
g3 maintains an old-school approach with

53
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:16,880
a healthy endowment of three usb type-a's and a full-sized HDMI connector

54
00:04:14,959 --> 00:04:20,720
though it becomes confused when presented with the increasingly common

55
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:25,600
type c device its owner having not shelled out for the

56
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:30,800
optional Thunderbolt upgrade the subpar trackpad causes it to stumble

57
00:04:28,479 --> 00:04:34,880
while navigating the worksheet however making a little rattling noise every

58
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:39,680
time it gets tapped and when it comes time to beautify the

59
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:44,800
assignment in photoshop a competitor takes command with its more vibrant and

60
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:49,919
color accurate display returning home the owner takes a short

61
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:54,080
break with some quality youtube content without headphones the speakers of the

62
00:04:51,840 --> 00:04:57,919
g3 delivering a solid enough sound for casual listening

63
00:04:55,440 --> 00:05:01,199
then he begins work typing up that short story for his stupid creative writing

64
00:04:59,919 --> 00:05:05,919
elective it's due tomorrow but he gets up to his

65
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:11,520
full typing speed quickly thanks to the g3's decent keyboard

66
00:05:08,479 --> 00:05:14,560
the softer but still tactile keystrokes

67
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:16,880
make for a mostly good experience but he

68
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:21,360
is occasionally frustrated by a missed stroke due to the g3's mediocre key

69
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:26,479
stabilization once the story has been polished to a

70
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:32,240
good enough standard the owner heads to bed dreaming of the day that he might

71
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:35,759
crack the g3 open to upgrade the RAM or

72
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:37,600
toss in a larger NVMe drive

73
00:05:35,759 --> 00:05:40,400
arriving at the morning gaming session the next day

74
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:47,039
something is different a new laptop has disrupted the natural

75
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:48,240
power dynamic an acer nitro 5.

76
00:05:47,039 --> 00:05:55,120
oh well mine was just 850 bucks remarks the g3

77
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:57,919
owner but his usual defense is useless

78
00:05:55,120 --> 00:06:01,600
the nitro 5 was 50 less

79
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:04,960
so they trade blows a slightly stiffer chassis on the dell a better track pad

80
00:06:03,759 --> 00:06:09,840
on the nitro more storage in the hard drive of the

81
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:11,120
dell but type c compatibility by default

82
00:06:09,840 --> 00:06:16,080
on the nitro the dell has a more subdued appearance

83
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:22,160
while the nitro 5 goes for a more traditional gamery look

84
00:06:18,639 --> 00:06:24,560
in the end both are worthy competitors

85
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:28,800
and earn a recommendation from us if you're looking for GPU performance per

86
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:33,120
dollar in a laptop but the g3 is still deserving of some

87
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:37,440
criticism the price and performance of the dell g3

88
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:42,080
is slightly better than the last gen inspiring gaming but it doesn't feel

89
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:44,880
like it's worthy of being called next gen

90
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:50,639
the biggest problem for us is that the g3 looks like a three-year-old computer

91
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:56,240
the build quality is the same if not worse the i o is old school and with

92
00:06:54,000 --> 00:07:01,199
acer making big improvements to the budget gaming segment the dell g3 is

93
00:06:58,639 --> 00:07:06,080
only just getting a recommendation from us at this point we're probably still

94
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:09,840
gonna say to go with whichever one is on sale but

95
00:07:07,919 --> 00:07:14,319
they'll probably have to make some bigger improvements next time around if

96
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:18,880
they want to keep up with acer's pressure

97
00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:22,960
