Dell G7 15 7590

Price: £1,449 from fave.co/30PuSqW

Dell’s second-generation G7 15 gaming laptop has arrived less than a year since the original debuted last summer (and we reviewed it in the autumn). Designed for mainstream gamers who lack either the money or the confidence for Dell’s flashier Alienware gaming brand, the G7 15 (Model 7590, for you diehard fans) still offers some snazzy new options – such as the 9th-generation Intel Core processor and Nvidia RTX graphics in our review unit.

In this case, however, buying the latest and greatest is an investment in the future. The brand-new CPU offers a modest performance uptick. Only a small (and slow-growing) number of games support the RTX GPU’s ray tracing talents, while earlier games see scant benefit. Don’t get us wrong – the G7 15 has a lot going for it. But if you’re looking for more immediate performance gratification, consider a configuration that’s a little less avant-garde.
