The Dell G7 15 is a victim of its lower-end linemate's success. The G5 15 offers a wide variety of component options starting at $900 for entry-level and mainstream gamers and it's all wrapped up in an attractive and relatively thin and light case, which is how it earned an Editors' Choice award for budget gaming laptops last year. The G7 15 is the upgraded version with things like a thinner, lighter all-metal chassis instead of plastic, higher-end component and display options and a four-zone RGB LED backlit keyboard. But all of that just isn't enough to give it an enthusiastic recommendation. At least not for the pricier configuration I tested.
