The G15 is Dell's most popular gaming laptop thanks to its versatility and low price point. That price point just got even lower thanks to Dell's gaming laptop deals. Right now you can buy the G15 for only $800, $200 off its usual price tag. Dell's laptop deals are known to sell out quickly, so make sure to grab this before it's gone. If you're not convinced, read more details about its performance below.

Why you should buy the Dell G15 gaming laptop
At this price, the Dell G15 gaming laptop won't rival the best gaming laptops but it certainly makes gaming more affordable. You get a 12th-generation Intel Core i5 processor along with 16GB of memory, 512GB of SSD storage, and an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3050. There's also a 15.6-inch full HD screen with 250 nits of brightness, and a 120Hz refresh rate to reduce motion blur. For $200 less at $650, you could buy a with 8GB of memory and 256GB of SSD storage but we wouldn't recommend it. Games take up a lot of room these days so you're likely to need to swap between game installs often while the limited amount of RAM doesn't really cut it for gaming anymore. Unless you're on a very tight budget, stick with the better G15 model.
