Pros and Cons

Dell Inspiron 14 5425

Strengths

The step up from a 720p camera to a 1080p camera with 30 frames per second is nice to see.
Having an AMD Ryzen 5 5625U processor and eight gigabytes of ram installed is a good configuration.
The 256GB NVMe type SSD provides decent storage for the laptop.
Upgrading the memory from single-channel DDR4 3200 to dual-channel would be beneficial, especially with a larger storage upgrade.
The inclusion of an AMD Vega-based graphics core (Vega 7) is a good option in this mainstream 15-watt based laptop.

Weaknesses

The lack of a dual-populated RAM configuration at the lower end of the memory scale may be limiting for some users.
The single DDDR4 3200 module installed as standard is only upgradable if going for 16 gigs or higher, which is not ideal for those who want to upgrade sooner.
The graphics are based on the AMD Vega architecture (Vega 7), rather than the newer RDNA2-based GPU found in other laptops like the Rembrandt chips.
The bios is up to date for December 21st, 2021, but there might be updates available after this review is written.
The laptop does not offer a configuration with more RAM and storage as desired by the reviewer.

GIGABYTE G6

Strengths

GIGABYTE has picked out the best components for your gaming laptop within the scope of being like a budget-friendly laptop.
The right CPU and GPU combination provides great performance without breaking the bank.
A 75W RTX 460 with 8GB video RAM is perfect for high resolutions such as 1920x1200.
A 16:10 display with 165Hz refresh rate is ideal for gaming, providing a smooth experience.
The laptop comes with two DDR5 slots and two M.2 slots, allowing for flexible storage options.
Wi-Fi 6E and plenty of ports (including Ethernet, mini DisplayPort, HDMI, USB-C, audio jacks, and micro SD card slot) make it easy to connect peripherals.

Weaknesses

The display could be brighter with around 250 nits, which is relatively typical for this price point.
Battery life is limited, lasting around 4 hours due to the Intel 12/13th gen CPUs' power-hungry nature.
The keyboard is full-size, which can take up some space on the laptop's deck.
The trackpad's offset placement can be a bit clunky with the full-size keyboard in place.
No mention of how well the cooling system performs under heavy loads or prolonged gaming sessions.
Some may find the weight of 2kgs (4.4lbs) to be slightly above average for a laptop of this size.
