The Dell G15 (2023) gaming laptop is now with both Intel and AMD chips!

Dell refreshed its G-series gaming lineup at the CES 2023, including the crowd-favorite G15. The 2023 edition of the G15 packs the latest gaming components from Intel, AMD and NVIDIA and comes in eye-catching colors. In this article, we will discuss the key specs, features, official price, and availability of the Dell G15 (2023) in Nepal.

Dell G15 Gaming Laptop (2023) Overview:

Design and Display

The space where Dell put the new G-series of gaming laptops on display was full of retro arcade machines for the 80s-inspired laptops to blend in. You heard it right — Dell is breaking the norm of mean and even professional-looking gaming laptops. The latest G-series laptops are all clad in 80’s pop aesthetics. This way, the company has created a unique blend of modern build with restoring aesthetics hardly seen in today’s gaming laptops.

In particular, the new Dell G15 gaming laptop arrives in three colors: Dark Shadow Gray (with Black thermal shelf), Quantum White (with Deep Space Blue thermal shelf), and Pop Purple (with Neo Mint thermal shelf).

Opening the lid, you are greeted with a 15.6-inch LCD screen with FHD resolution. The base variant of the G15 5530 refreshes at 120Hz, while there is also a 165Hz variant that you can get for a higher price. Both use the same anti-glare panel, but the 165Hz variant is slightly brighter (300 nits > 250 nits) and has TUV certification. Going all out will get you an even faster 360Hz panel with a lower response time (1 ms).

Performance and Cooling

Under the hood, Dell G15 5530 (2023) packs the Intel “Raptor Lake” HX-series mobile processors while the AMD variant packs 7000 series HS chips. Your options range from a Core i5-13450HX to an i9-13900HX on the Intel end while the AMD configurations only include the Ryzen 5 7640HS and Ryzen 7 7840HS processors.

These can be paired with either the refreshed RTX 3050 with 6GB of VRAM or the new RTX  4050 and RTX 4060 GPUs.
