A Dell, known for its productivity-focused office computers, has invested heavily in its Gamer. Since 2016, products from Dell Alienware are officially launched in Brazil, and Notebook Dell G5 shows the company's competence in this segment. We have tested the version of the notebook equipped with the graphics card GeForce 1660Ti Max-Q, and the result was very positive, placing the Dell G5 as one of the best options on the market for professional eSports players. 4a4g2i

The notebook Dell G5 It has a bold and beautiful design. In black, it weighs approx. 2,84 kg and features matte details at the top. When you open it, the screen 15,6 inches it's incredibly beautiful, and the screen quality is indeed one of the device's highlights. On the outside we have a matte finish that looks like metal, but is made of sturdy plastic.

The notebook is equipped with an American standard keyboard, RGB backlit, and splash resistant. There is a numeric keypad, the touchpad default is just below the spacebar and works great. In addition to playing games, I wrote a lot, and the ergonomics of the Dell G5 is one of the highlights.

Connections distributed between the side and back of the device create a more harmonious look

On the sides it has spaces for ventilation, connections and speakers, which blend with beautiful design lines, giving a look to the notebook. Speaking of connections, there are 3 USB 3.1 ports, one being a second generation port with DisplayPort, an HDMI 2.0b port, a P2 input for audio, and an SD card input. The ports are distributed between the back and sides, and give a cohesive look to the device. Internally there are still 2 M.2 slots, for SSD and Intel Optane.

The ventilation system of Dell G5 it is not the quietest and when maximum performance was required, it could compete with the noise of the desktop that was in the same room. Fortunately, it seems that noise is synonymous with efficiency and I didn't feel the device getting hotter than it should.

Geforce GTX 1660Ti allows gamer to utilize the highest settings in their games

O Dell G5 that we tested is equipped with a video card NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660Ti Max-Q, Intel processor Core i7 9750H 9th generation, 16GB of DDR4 RAM and 256GB of SSD in M.2 format. With these settings, the notebook can run the latest games without stuttering and crashes, in graphics settings at Alto.

Games that demand more from the processor than just the graphics card, such as Final Fantasy XV, Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot, and Monster Hunter World, ran at the highest settings, keeping the frame rate always above 60FPS. gears5 was the title that demanded the most from the 1660Ti, locking at 30FPS with graphics on Ultra, or running at 60FPS with the options in High mode.

As there is a version of Dell G5 to Olos technology RTX 2060, if you want to run games with the best graphics options and the highest performance, you might want to invest a little more in the version with a better graphics card.

Keyboard/Trackpad 3d3j2t

The keyboard Dell G5 it's not mechanical, as you'd expect from a recently released gaming notebook. However, its ergonomics is a very high point. Its keys are well spaced, and it doesn't have that classic problem of typing more than one key at the same time, or pressing a wrong key because of bad positioning. Typing on it for a long time is very comfortable, and there's a good amount of hand .

The response time is very high, and it won't get in the way of performing the traditional ones. Quick Time Events in games. The trackpad is very accurate, and it doesn't make those phantom clicks when we accidentally put our fists together. The numeric keypad can be a differential for some consumers, with a good space next to the traditional keyboard.

The keyboard also features RGB backlighting, which can be customized from the Alienware control .

Sound, Camera and Microphone 2e5q4a

One of the things that positively surprised me in the Dell G5 was its sound quality. We usually see several notebooks leaving the factory with audio subscriptions from large companies such as Dolby, AKG, and the like, presenting the sound quality as a differential. THE Dell G5 it doesn't have any of that on its box or even in its ments, but the audio quality is amazing!

It has two stereo speakers that are on the front of the device. Both are very loud, clean, and bring out a quality bass. I played a good part of the “Gears5” campaign using the speakers and the immersion they brought me was great. Of course, nothing compares to gaming using multi-channel headsets, but we usually don't see such good audio quality on laptops.

The webcam is simple, shoots in HD, and records at up to 1280 x 720 (HD) at 30 fps. if you want to do streaming, you can use it with good ambient lighting.

The microphone is also simple, bringing noise reduction, and eliminates the need for an external microphone even for audio and video calls.

Conclusion 60664y

O Dell G5 1660 Ti It is an excellent choice of gaming notebook in the national market. It brings a beautiful design, combined with good specifications and a 144Hz screen, with a good amount of brightness and a quality contrast. If you are looking for a device for e-Sports, this is one of the best options, and even for less casual games it can serve you well, mainly because of its processor. However, if you want a perfect experience in heavier games, you might be better off choosing the more expensive version, equipped with the RTX 2060.

If you're a content creator, or want a beefy notebook for work, it's worth the investment of R$7.319,00.
