Pros and Cons

Dell G15

Strengths

This laptop is performing where it should be, especially in gaming. It can handle games at QHD with no problem.
The battery life kind of sucks, but it does everything else pretty well if you have a lower expectation.
It has good performance for an RTX 4060, and there's enough ports to use them.
The fan noise is interesting because if you have it on turbo mode it's obviously going to get loud, but you can switch to balanced or quiet profile to be quieter.
It does well in terms of heat, sitting around 91 to 92 degrees Celsius, which is a little bit harder than I'd like it to be.

Weaknesses

The battery life is probably its weakest point, only getting three hours and five minutes before needing to charge.
The G key automatically takes you in and out of turbo mode without any indication that pops up when you're in turbo mode.
There's no Thunderbolt 4 Port, which might be a drawback for some users.
The battery life is very short compared to other laptops, especially considering its price point.
Even though it has good performance, the Dell G5 is not a bad laptop but based on its price point I'd still try to find a laptop that's on sale from last year.

Dell Inspiron 14 7400

Strengths

The laptop is a great bargain with 40% off, making it an incredible deal for both home and office use.
The Intel 11th generation CPU provides excellent performance, and the Evo certification ensures good battery life (up to 9 hours) and display quality.
The build quality is superb, with a premium metal body and a 16x10 display that's perfect for productivity
The laptop has a great price-performance ratio, making it an instant buy considering its features and price

Weaknesses

The MX350 graphics option may not be worth the additional cost at normal prices, but it's a good choice if you need extra graphics power.
The laptop can get warm under full load and the fans may kick in, although this is a minor issue for most users
The lack of upgradability of the RAM is a drawback, as users are limited to the factory-installed memory configuration.
The webcam shutter and fingerprint reader are nice features but not essential for all users.

Dell G15

The Dell G5 is an intriguing laptop that promises good performance without breaking the bank. Equipped with an RTX 4060 GPU, it's capable of playing games at 1920x1080 resolution and handling demanding titles like Starfield. However, its battery life falls short, lasting only around three hours. The laptop's price point is also a consideration, as last year's models with more powerful GPUs may be available for similar prices or even cheaper.

Dell Inspiron 14 7400

The Dell Inspiron 14 7400 is an absolute steal at its current price point. With an astonishing 40% off the original price and an additional 7% discount for bulk purchases, this laptop offers incredible value. This evo-certified device boasts Intel's 11th generation CPUs, up to 16GB of RAM, and a stunning 100sRGB display, making it perfect for both home and office use. I'm thrilled to dive deeper into its features and performance in this review.
