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 Inspiron 15 5505

Strengths

The laptop has a Ryzen 7 4700U processor, which is powerful for general use
The NVMe drive is fast, with sequential read and write speeds of up to 1572 MB/s
The fingerprint reader works well and makes it easy to unlock the computer
The backlit keyboard is nice and makes a huge difference in low light environments
Upgrading the laptop with an additional SSD (like the Samsung 970 Plus) can significantly improve performance

Weaknesses

The keyboard backlight can be too bright in some cases and may cause issues seeing the keys in well-lit environments
The laptop's build material is unclear (aluminum or high-quality plastic?) and could be a concern for some users
The laptop's performance may not be as strong as expected, especially with only 8GB of RAM
The laptop's design may feel somewhat basic and uninspired compared to other options in the same price range

The Gigabyte G7 offers impressive performance for its price, combining a six-core i7 CPU with 16GB of DDR4 RAM and the NVIDIA RTX 3050 Ti GPU. The inclusion of a PCI Express 4 M.2 SSD is a welcome feature, offering ample storage capacity.
