Save 33% on the Dell G5 15
SAVE $344.99: Usually $1,044.98, the Dell G5 15 gaming laptop (256GB SSD, 8GB RAM) is on sale on the brand’s website for just $699.99 as of Jan. 22.
When it comes to starter gaming laptop specs, the general GPU consensus among experts seems to be this: Nvidia GeForce GTX 1660 Ti is a standout from a power-per-dollar standpoint. By equipping it with its fancy, high-performance Turing architecture but omitting ray tracing or deep learning components, per Tech Radar, Nvidia’s made it an extremely solid mid-range graphics card.
A GeForce GTX 1660 Ti GPU is actually one of the reasons why we love the Dell G5 15 gaming laptop so much: It allows the machine to prioritize serious power at a very reasonable price point. (A 10th-gen Intel Core i5 processor certainly doesn’t hurt, either.) Coincidentally, Dell has the 256GB model with 8GB of RAM on sale right now for just $699.99 — that’s 33% off its suggested retail price of $1,044.98.

All that power does come with a few drawbacks, FWIW: As Mashable shopping reporter Dylan Haas noted in a spec rundown of the Dell G5 15 on our roundup of the best gaming laptops, it’s not the slimmest or prettiest model out there — check out Dell’s sleek Alienware lineup if you want to see some real glitz — and it tends to get hot during longer play sessions, even with a dual-fan cooling system. But if sheer power is what you’re after in your first gaming laptop, those minor issues are pretty easy to excuse (especially at such a great price).
Dell says there are “limited quantities available” for this deal, so take advantage of it while you still can — the blue button below will take you directly to the Dell G5 15’s product page on the brand’s website.
