Expert tester comments
Dell's G3 15 3590 gaming laptop isn't as bold as an Alienware gaming laptop, which is a brand that Dell now also offers. It's conservatively designed except for a blue keyboard backlight, and some blue highlights on the WASD keys, chassis, and touchpad. An NVIDIA GTX 1650 graphics adapter will allow for the smooth running of many games. A highlight was its fast storage performance.
