Dell G3 15 (3579) review: This budget gaming laptop makes the most of what it's got

The Dell G3 15 gaming laptop delivers solid performance in a package that's a little less than an inch thick. It's very affordable, too, at just $850 from Dell (at this writing) for the Model 3579 configuration we tested. The G3 15 has its downsides, including a Full-HD display that isn't as bright as we'd like, frame rates that struggle to reach 60 fps on top-tier games, and a weight exceeding five pounds (although it's not as massive as some gaming laptops). But when we compared it to the Acer Nitro 5, another budget gaming laptop we like, with an even lower price point, there was no contest. The G3 15 posted stronger benchmarks and battery life.
