 All manufacturers are moving to 16-inch gaming laptops, and they'll can't miss getting in on the fun with their new G16 gaming laptop. Everything about it is new, from the displays to the Raptor Lake HX processors. Save it as to learn everything you might need to know about it. Starting on the outside, there are some small changes to the exterior, but overall, you still get a bulky chassis with a weight of 2.87kg and a profile of 20.2mm at the front and 24.9mm at the back, which is portable for gaming standards. The lid and base are made from metal, while the heat vent covers the back and the bottom panel uses plastic. Nevertheless, the build quality is great as the base shows next to no budge even with harsher typing, and type you will as the single zone RGB backlit keyboard has everything needed to be great, like long key travel and clicky feedback. It lacks a numpad, but unless you're an accountant, it's not as important. The touchpad is on the smaller side, while the surface could have been smoother too. On the other hand, it's pretty responsive, we also can't forget to mention the huge grill above, which supplies air to the cooling setup. Taking a look around the Dell G16, the left side has a LAN port and an audio jack. Then on the back, there's the powerplug 1 USB type A 3.2 generation 1 port, an HDMI 2.1 port, and a USB type C 3.2 generation 2 port, which is actually a thunderbolt 4 port for the configurations equipped with an RTX 4070. Lastly, on the right, there are two more USB type A 3.2 generation 1 ports. With the G16, you get a new and improved 16 inch 16 by 10 QHD plus IPS panel with a 165Hz refresh rate, it's got great viewing angles and a max brightness of 361 nits. The pixel response time of the display is good too, as at 8.6ms, it's way faster than any budget gaming machine. It also shows 97% sRGB coverage, so games, movies, and other media look their best. The color accuracy is there as well, especially once you use our design and gaming profile, which lowers the Delta E value down to 1.1, as a heads up, everything below 2 is considered accurate enough for professional use. We'll have links to our profiles in the description below. While the display is all well and good, the speaker setup could be better. The quality of the sound is okay, however. There are deviations across the entire frequency range. There are several 13th generation Intel processors to choose from, with our configuration using the Core 1713 650HX. For graphics, there's both the RTX 3050 as well as the new 40 series which runs at 140W. The CPU performance is good, but when we put the device against competitors, we see that it sits at the bottom of the barrel in 3D rendering. As for the graphics, the 140W RTX 4060 does pretty much the same as any other 4060 that we've played with. More importantly, let's check out some game. The most recent title in the Assassin's Creed series, Valhalla runs at 106FPS on the Ultra preset. Another Viking adventure, the 2018 installment of God of War released for PC last year, and the RTX 4060 is able to run it at 86FPS on Ultra settings. Lastly, Shadow of the Tomb Raider is still a mainstay even in 2023, running at 107FPS on the highest preset. For more benchmark videos of the RTX 4060, check out our laptop media benchmarks channel. The cooling setup of the G16 comes with 4 heat pipes, which are thick and provide enough thermal capacity. With the additional heatsinks and fans, the laptop is able to exceed expectations, pushing its Core Y7 CPU to 191W in the first few seconds of our stress test, lowering it to 136W for prolonged strenuous work. The story with the RTX 4060 is similar, as the laptop is able to push it to very high power limits. However, the clock speeds are lower than other laptops with the same GPU. In terms of comfort, the keyboard heats up to 41°C under full load. However, the grill that's on top can reach higher temperatures of nearly 50°C. The efficiency of the laptop is put under question, as the G16 lasts for only 3 hours and 12 minutes of web browsing, or 3 hours and 29 minutes of video playback, despite the large 86Wh battery pack. The upgrade ability of the laptop is thorough, with two Sodium slots for DDR5 memory and 2M.2 PCI-EX4 slots for generation 4 SSDs. Keep in mind that one slot is smaller, so you'd have to get one of the smaller 30mm SSDs. The full teardown video is linked down below and in the pop-up card right here. The Dell G series has never shied away from sacrificing portability and efficiency for performance, however, the G16 goes a step further. On the other hand, the high power limits that it manages to sustain don't really help it when it comes to results, as other laptops with the same components do a similar if not better job while being more efficient. Still, if you plan on being plugged into a wall for most of the time and can get a good deal on the G16, by all means go and get it as it covers all the requirements for a gamer, a video editor or a designer.
