Dell G3 15 gaming laptop review: The taste of Alienware on a budget

To many, the name Alienware might invoke beautiful childhood memories of a blue alien logo on laptops that meant serious business for gamers around the world. After a merger between Dell and Alienware in 2006, the gaming laptops coming out of Dell's stable adapted to the Alienware theme, an exciting combination for serious enthusiasts looking for affordable yet powerful machines. The Dell G3 15 laptop is a product of the same marriage. A laptop built on Dell's platform but with the soul of an Alienware. This gaming laptop sheds the gimmicky red and moves on to a new baby-blue themes. While it seems to be an attractive package, can the Dell G3 15 make a lasting mark like the Alienware?

The Dell G3 15 is a laptop built to last.

The laptop comes with subtle baby-blue outlines and follows the new design trend of multipurpose laptops that ditches the usual gimmicky look of gaming laptops. The bezels, however, continue to be thick in spite of the ongoing trend of bezel-less displays. While I don't have much complaint, many see this as a major distraction.
