Thats without factoring in its quirky yet attractive design, excellent build quality and display with fast refresh rates. Weve been fans of the line since its design overall a couple of years ago, and that hasnt changed.

Though Dell has its premium lines, its also been very good at building excellent budget machines.

is certainly among the best Dell laptops out there for gaming.

Hands down, the Alienware Area-51m is a stunner of a gaming laptop, with a beautiful yet unique chassis and a comfortable keyboard to complement it. But it goes beyond looks; its also by far the most powerful gaming laptop on the market right now (and obviously, one of the best Dell laptops). Not that its perfect, as it does get really hot and its fans can get very loud. However, its a performance beast fitted with high-end processors and high-end graphics cards, and your gaming experience with it will be an absolute pressure.

The Dell Inspiron 13 7000 2-in-1 is a versatile 2-in-1 with a lot going for
it under the hood. This premium laptop is more than just about its premium design; it also has high-end internals to compete with the likes of the more powerful Dell XPS 13. Rounding that out is a 4K display, and a clever stylus slot that makes us wonder whether they actually beat Microsoft to the idea. Granted, the display is a bit of a battery drain, and the speakers
impressive, but this is still among the best Dell laptops out there.

Budget gaming in style CPU: 9th Generation Intel Core i5 i7 | Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 1660 Ti with Max-Q Design | RAM: 8GB 16GB | Screen: 15.6-inch FHD (1920 x 1080) Anti-glare LED Backlit Non-touch | Storage: 1TB HDD 512GB SSD Affordable Great performer Flimsy build

When it comes to gaming, more often than not, you have to invest in premium parts to get that gaming edge you want. Thats especially true if youre going for smooth 1440p or 4K gaming. In other words, while theres a number of
budget gaming laptops out there, very few really get you to where you want to go. Among those few is the Dell G3 15 gaming laptop, Dells affordable answer for gamers who want solid performance without splurging. It's all thanks to those latest yet economically-priced internals it's fitted with. It's
probably not going to get you competitive level, but if you want a cheaper laptop to game on for the sake of gaming, this will go a long way.
