Pros and Cons

GIGABYTE G7

Strengths

It offers great performance with a six core i7 cpu, 16 gig of ddr4, rtx 3050 ti, and pci express 4 m.2 ssd.
The 144hz ips panel is very good and provides buttery smooth feedback.
It has three storage options: a pci express 4 ssd out of the box, space for adding another m.2, and a two and a half inch caddy.
The control center allows you to customize rgb backlighting, fan speeds, and other settings.
The keyboard has customizable rgb backlighting and hotkeys for adjusting settings on the fly.
It's reasonably priced and sits just outside the mid-range for the cost.

Weaknesses

There are some exceptions like valhalla and cyberpunk that can cripple performance in most games at high detail.
The frame rate may not hit triple figures, but it will still be above 60 in many cases.
There is bleeding on the edges of the screen, which might be a visual annoyance.
Viewing angles can be limiting for some users, especially when watching videos or gaming with multiple monitors.
No mention of battery life or how long it takes to charge, which could be important considerations for some buyers.

Dell G7 15

Strengths

A really nice build quality with a metal finish
A 4k oled screen that is vivid, goes up to 400 nits, and is nice and bright
A 6 core Intel Core i7-10750H processor
An NVIDIA GeForce GTX 2070 Max-Q GPU with eight gigabytes of vram

Weaknesses

CPU thermals are an issue due to the thin chassis design
The screen is only 60Hz, which may not be suitable for high-refresh games
There's only a single M.2 slot and no way to add a SATA drive, making storage upgrades more complicated
The cooling solution can't handle the CPU's default clock speed, leading to throttling
