We have news for users who are looking for an affordable laptop. Dell has announced the G16 laptop for the company’s gaming brand. The DELL G16 will launch on July 21, starting at $1,400. Here are the design and specs of the new model.
Dell G16 specs
The Dell G16 model can be configured with up to Nvidia RTX 3070 Ti; the base model ships with an RTX 3050 Ti and a smaller 56Whr battery. Each model includes a 12th gen Intel Core i7-12700H processor. The base model comes with 8GB of DDR5 RAM and 512GB storage.
These specs are expandable up to 16GB RAM and 2TB storage, respectively. The Thunderbolt 4 port will only be available on RTX 3060 and 3070 Ti models. Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.0 connectivity are also standard across all variants.
- Processor: 12th gen Intel Core i7-12700H
- Graphic card: Nvidia GeForce RTX 3050, 3060 and 3070 Ti
- Memory: 8/16 GB RAM, DDR 5, 4800MHz
- Hard Drive: 512 GB (up to 2 TB)
- Display: 16-inch 16:10, QHD Plus, 2.560 x 1.600 resolution, 165Hz refresh rate
Dell G16 design
Instead of the 15.6-inch 16:9 panel that Dell uses in its traditional models, Dell came up with a 16-inch 16:10 aspect ratio model this time. This panel is a QHD Plus screen with a resolution of 2,560 x 1,600 with a refresh rate of 165Hz, just like the gaming PCs we have seen before from different brands.
More pixels, of course, will not bother anyone. Compared to the G15 model, the subframe is smaller in this model. As a result, it has 11 percent more screen area than the G15.
You also have three options when it comes to G16’s typing experience. By default, the laptop comes with a one-zone RGB keyboard. You can upgrade to a model with per-key lighting, with the option to add CherryMX switches as well. We have to say that the trackpad is relatively small for this computer.
This PC is separate from the new Alienware laptops with an optional 480Hz display. But the new 16:10 display we have seen could bode well for sweeping changes to the Alienware gaming laptop lineup in 2022.
