Dell G16 RTX 4070 Gaming Laptop for $1109.99
The full specs for the higher end RTX 4070 model include a 16" 2560x1600 QHD+ 3ms 240Hz G-SYNC display, 13th gen Intel Core i9-13900HX CPU, GeForce RTX 4070 GPU , 16GB of DDR5-4800MHz of RAM, and a 1TB M.2 SSD. The 13th gen Intel Core i9-13900HX processor might not be the newest CPU on the block, but it's still one of the most powerful, with a max turbo frequency of 5.4GHz and a whopping 24 cores and 32 threads. This is an outstanding mobile chip that excels at both gaming and multi-tasking and certainly won't bottleneck your graphics card.
The RTX 4070 mobile GPU performs on par with the RTX 3080 mobile. You'll want this kind of power to run games comfortably on the laptop's beefed up 2560x1600 display. Although the G16 is less expensive than comparable Alienware laptops, gaming performance is mostly the same thanks to the RTX 4070 GPU having the same TGP wattage rating of 115W plus 25W of Dynamic Boost (for a total of 140W) as the 4070 you'd find in an Alienware x16 or m16 laptop.
Dell G16 RTX 4060 Gaming Laptop for $849.99
The full specs for the RTX 4060 model include a 16" 2560x1600 QHD+ 3ms 240Hz G-SYNC display, 13th gen Intel Core i7-13650HX CPU, GeForce RTX 4070 GPU, 16GB of DDR5-4800MHz of RAM, and a 1TB M.2 SSD. The Intel Core i7-13650HX processor has a max turbo frequency of 4.9GHz and boasts 14 cores, 20 threads, and a 24MB cache.
The RTX 4060 GPU found in the G16 has a 140W TGP rating, the same amount of power supplied to the RTX 4060 GPU in the more expensive Alienware m16 laptop. Performance-wise, the RTX 4060 mobile GPU sits right in between the RTX 3070 and RTX 3070 Ti. It offers enough power to run most games smoothly on the native 2560x1600 QHD+ display.
Why Pick a Dell Gaming Laptop?
The G16 is Dell's line of 16" gaming oriented laptops that is marketed towards budget gamers. It features similar specs as the Alienware laptops and offers much more aggressive cooling than most "mainstream" laptops at a much lower price point. The G16 is considered a step up in terms of quality and specs compared to the smaller G15 as well as Dell's non-gaming Inspiron lineup. It's definitely one of the better budget gaming laptops you can get for about $1K.
