MagyarDell announces their new G3, G5, and G7 budget-friendly gaming laptops
For many years now, Dell has offered budget-friendly gaming options under their name as a way to complement their premium Alienware lineup. In recent years the Inspiron 15 7000 series has filled the laptop space, but today Dell is announcing the new G3, G5, and G7 gaming laptops in 15- and 17-inch form-factors.
The new G-series separates the gaming laptops out from the Inspiron line. All three will give decent gaming performance, offering the same GTX 1050, GTX 1050 Ti, and GTX 1060 Max-Q. The i5-8300H and i7-8750H are options for the G3, G5, and G7, but the G7 can also be configured with the i9-8950HK. As you move up through the range, choices for improved 2x2 WiFi, Thunderbolt 3, and enhanced displays become available. Ubuntu will be available in some regions, but those regions were still to be decided at the time of writing. We would expect them to be similar to regions where Ubuntu is offered on other dell laptops.
