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

00:00:05.120 --> 00:00:12.160
individual some are a fashion statement like the surface laptop with its deeply

00:00:10.000 --> 00:00:17.960
colored aluminum finish and matching alcantara wrist rest others are

00:00:14.920 --> 00:00:20.480
utilitarian for the no-nonsense

00:00:17.960 --> 00:00:25.359
business-oriented professional crowd while still others are

00:00:22.960 --> 00:00:31.039
as far as we can tell pretty much pure displays of access

00:00:28.320 --> 00:00:36.399
and wealth as for this one over here the dell g3

00:00:33.920 --> 00:00:39.040
what kind of person would own one of these

00:00:37.440 --> 00:00:43.200
by the look of things the rugged type of person

00:00:40.960 --> 00:00:47.920
the kind of person who has made some compromises in the pursuit of

00:00:45.840 --> 00:00:53.039
price to performance but has the trade-off been worth it for him

00:00:50.800 --> 00:00:58.640
and his fellow g3rs well join us as we take a look at a day

00:00:55.600 --> 00:01:03.460
in the life of a dell g3 owner

00:01:06.560 --> 00:01:12.479
looking for an affordable and reliable vpn private internet access encrypts

00:01:10.720 --> 00:01:15.840
your internet traffic and uses a safe protected ip check it out today through

00:01:14.400 --> 00:01:20.080
the link below waking up at the crack of 10 o'clock

00:01:18.159 --> 00:01:26.320
except for tuesdays because of that one 8 am math class the dell g3 owner spills

00:01:23.280 --> 00:01:28.320
out of bed and gets cleaned up he makes

00:01:26.320 --> 00:01:33.600
an attempt at grooming himself before finally after 30 painstaking

00:01:30.960 --> 00:01:38.240
seconds opting for a hat his muscles ripple as his five plus

00:01:36.320 --> 00:01:43.119
pounds of laptop gets stashed into his backpack for transportation followed by

00:01:40.560 --> 00:01:47.680
his 1.3 pound power brick thanks to the g3s just over four and a

00:01:45.280 --> 00:01:53.520
half hours in our battery life test this second part is a requirement

00:01:50.399 --> 00:01:56.079
here the dell g3 and its owner are on

00:01:53.520 --> 00:02:00.560
their home turf a quick gaming session during an early break period

00:01:58.320 --> 00:02:05.680
compared to other gaming laptops it lacks some flash but the owner is quick

00:02:02.880 --> 00:02:12.160
to point out how wise he was to forego RGB for more performance since at 850

00:02:09.520 --> 00:02:15.840
dollars the g3 competes with much more expensive models

00:02:13.920 --> 00:02:21.440
getting into the game takes a little longer just 128 gigs of solid-state

00:02:18.879 --> 00:02:27.120
storage for the os and some applications means that most games will sit on the

00:02:23.280 --> 00:02:28.319
one terabyte of molasses slow 5400 RPM

00:02:27.120 --> 00:02:33.920
hard drive but once it hits the battlefield the g3

00:02:31.200 --> 00:02:39.840
keeps up admirably once again housing a quad-core Intel core i5 8 gigs

00:02:36.959 --> 00:02:44.239
of RAM and an NVIDIA 1050 ti even modern aaa games can touch the top

00:02:42.480 --> 00:02:48.959
frame rate that can be displayed by its 60hz 1080p monitor

00:02:46.480 --> 00:02:53.599
albeit with some sacrifices many in-game details will have to be

00:02:50.959 --> 00:02:57.920
dropped to medium or low when brake time is almost over and it's

00:02:55.920 --> 00:03:03.760
time to start a last minute render or video export the g3 CPU will thermal

00:03:01.280 --> 00:03:08.560
throttle briefly dropping down from its max 4 gigahertz turbo it will increase

00:03:06.480 --> 00:03:13.680
its fan speed to a higher performance but still audibly comfortable level

00:03:11.040 --> 00:03:20.400
then it settles in at about 3.3 gigahertz with temperatures in the 75 to

00:03:16.720 --> 00:03:22.720
80 degree range but now the g3 and its

00:03:20.400 --> 00:03:29.040
owner must be removed from their comfort zone to a teacher-assigned steady group

00:03:26.159 --> 00:03:33.599
producing the dell g3 here does not draw the attention of potential mates with

00:03:31.360 --> 00:03:39.760
their gaze passing by its plastic exterior and large bezels to rivals with

00:03:37.120 --> 00:03:43.760
harder slimmer chassis made of exotic materials like carbon fiber

00:03:42.480 --> 00:03:49.680
but wait one needs help with homework here the g3

00:03:46.799 --> 00:03:54.319
keeps up and even sets itself apart the wide viewing angles afforded by its

00:03:51.599 --> 00:03:58.799
ips display help when multiple people want to share an excel document

00:03:56.480 --> 00:04:02.560
naturally taken on by the g3 with its greater processing power and dedicated

00:04:01.360 --> 00:04:08.080
number pad and while others are donning dongles the

00:04:05.040 --> 00:04:10.560
g3 maintains an old-school approach with

00:04:08.080 --> 00:04:16.880
a healthy endowment of three usb type-a's and a full-sized HDMI connector

00:04:14.959 --> 00:04:20.720
though it becomes confused when presented with the increasingly common

00:04:18.880 --> 00:04:25.600
type c device its owner having not shelled out for the

00:04:22.880 --> 00:04:30.800
optional Thunderbolt upgrade the subpar trackpad causes it to stumble

00:04:28.479 --> 00:04:34.880
while navigating the worksheet however making a little rattling noise every

00:04:33.120 --> 00:04:39.680
time it gets tapped and when it comes time to beautify the

00:04:37.120 --> 00:04:44.800
assignment in photoshop a competitor takes command with its more vibrant and

00:04:42.560 --> 00:04:49.919
color accurate display returning home the owner takes a short

00:04:47.360 --> 00:04:54.080
break with some quality youtube content without headphones the speakers of the

00:04:51.840 --> 00:04:57.919
g3 delivering a solid enough sound for casual listening

00:04:55.440 --> 00:05:01.199
then he begins work typing up that short story for his stupid creative writing

00:04:59.919 --> 00:05:05.919
elective it's due tomorrow but he gets up to his

00:05:03.680 --> 00:05:11.520
full typing speed quickly thanks to the g3's decent keyboard

00:05:08.479 --> 00:05:14.560
the softer but still tactile keystrokes

00:05:11.520 --> 00:05:16.880
make for a mostly good experience but he

00:05:14.560 --> 00:05:21.360
is occasionally frustrated by a missed stroke due to the g3's mediocre key

00:05:19.680 --> 00:05:26.479
stabilization once the story has been polished to a

00:05:23.680 --> 00:05:32.240
good enough standard the owner heads to bed dreaming of the day that he might

00:05:28.960 --> 00:05:35.759
crack the g3 open to upgrade the RAM or

00:05:32.240 --> 00:05:37.600
toss in a larger NVMe drive

00:05:35.759 --> 00:05:40.400
arriving at the morning gaming session the next day

00:05:38.880 --> 00:05:47.039
something is different a new laptop has disrupted the natural

00:05:42.880 --> 00:05:48.240
power dynamic an acer nitro 5.

00:05:47.039 --> 00:05:55.120
oh well mine was just 850 bucks remarks the g3

00:05:51.680 --> 00:05:57.919
owner but his usual defense is useless

00:05:55.120 --> 00:06:01.600
the nitro 5 was 50 less

00:05:58.880 --> 00:06:04.960
so they trade blows a slightly stiffer chassis on the dell a better track pad

00:06:03.759 --> 00:06:09.840
on the nitro more storage in the hard drive of the

00:06:06.800 --> 00:06:11.120
dell but type c compatibility by default

00:06:09.840 --> 00:06:16.080
on the nitro the dell has a more subdued appearance

00:06:13.600 --> 00:06:22.160
while the nitro 5 goes for a more traditional gamery look

00:06:18.639 --> 00:06:24.560
in the end both are worthy competitors

00:06:22.160 --> 00:06:28.800
and earn a recommendation from us if you're looking for GPU performance per

00:06:26.960 --> 00:06:33.120
dollar in a laptop but the g3 is still deserving of some

00:06:32.000 --> 00:06:37.440
criticism the price and performance of the dell g3

00:06:35.520 --> 00:06:42.080
is slightly better than the last gen inspiring gaming but it doesn't feel

00:06:39.600 --> 00:06:44.880
like it's worthy of being called next gen

00:06:43.120 --> 00:06:50.639
the biggest problem for us is that the g3 looks like a three-year-old computer

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

00:06:54.000 --> 00:07:01.199
acer making big improvements to the budget gaming segment the dell g3 is

00:06:58.639 --> 00:07:06.080
only just getting a recommendation from us at this point we're probably still

00:07:04.160 --> 00:07:09.840
gonna say to go with whichever one is on sale but

00:07:07.919 --> 00:07:14.319
they'll probably have to make some bigger improvements next time around if

00:07:12.160 --> 00:07:18.880
they want to keep up with acer's pressure

00:07:16.160 --> 00:07:22.960
