Glad it was helpful!😁. I really love comments such as Yours! Some people get irritated because of the length but you know there's other reviews out there that will just skim over the details having to guess what you're getting.
Definitely, the best review I've seen for this laptop. May I ask if this laptop is also great for running CAD software? And does its graphic card support solidworks? Sorry, I'm not too knowledgeable about these stuff.
Thank you. From what users have been saying, Solidworks may run but will be limited. You need to find a machine with the Quadro graphics chipset to really make use of the software.
Thank you! I believe when you are going to make a purchase of any kind it’s important to gather as much information as possible. I try to do these things in my videos, although a little long I think that valuable information will be obtained to be used on an informed decision to pull the trigger.
Great review. Re-application of the gpu/cpu heatsinks for sure would help. I've had 2 different machines while at stock handling stress tests very different. the second machine I removed the tin mesh at the bottom where the intake fans are and that was a major step forward in better air flow. The second unit does not shut down any longer during 3DMark or Fortnite. Fortnite even on low settings would shut down on the first laptop. Mesh removal seems to be a key for better airflow and stability. The second unit has yet to shut down now at all and all is well lol. First unit being returned now.
Wow you actually got it well done meanpooh I'm still getting my Acer Nitro 5 I hope it will last a long time there are bad amazon reviews one review saying the laptop powers off and you cannot power it back on and another review saying it is "defective" I really do not understand that since it looks like a good laptop for what the specs are on it and functions like a charm. I'm looking forward to it just will take a long time to save up 😤😩
From what i've experienced, the fan protectors may be slowing airflow also that fans don't spin fast enough even on performance mode. You have to hit the G-Key button to enable the fans to spin at max speed. When that happens, all will be fine with no shut downs. That new BIOS update also help fix the issue that many were having.
Hi, thank you for the detailed review. I would like to buy this laptop mainly for studies (molecular modeling softwares) and for playing league of legends, I'm just curious if I should be worried about the bad thermals or has it been fixed through a bios update?
Great review , thank you so much it was so helpful! I have this exact same model. I Do not play game , I just use it for google spreadsheet works and watch UA-cam and such. I am encountering display flickering and sometimes 70% of the screen just turn black. I couldn't move my cursor , the screen freezes and everything stops working. until I restart. This happens about 4-5 times in about 6 hours of usage. Do you have the same problem and do you have any solutions ? Thank you so much for your precious time
You're welcome. For the time that I had it, I did not encounter those problems. Sounds like a few things may be happening. Your graphics may be going out or your display cable may be loose (internally). Try connecting to external monitor to see if the flickering continues. Very high temps can cause a machine to freeze followed by a shutdown if the temps do not drop.
Bro, great video, these videos really stand out from the rest ... I just have one question: How many fps do you think the laptop can reach in some game at 1440p and with what settings? examples in games like Counter, LoL or Fortnite. Thanks
Planning on buying this with the same specs with urs. planning also in upgrading the ram to 32gb. Can you recommend it with after effects and premiere?
Is this a good purchase? Are the fans really loud? How good is it in gaming so far? I'm willing to buy this soon, and I'm trying to find out if this is what I really want. Does GEFORCE Experience operate normally? Shadowplay and etc...?
@@Meanpooh You mean, something like Lenovo Legion 5s? that are coming out soon?.. I'm looking for osmething next month right away, and was just wondering about the fan noise here especially under really high load.
i first got a G5 SE 5505 the AMD version of this laptop with the 4900h and 4600m gpu it would throttle so badly and then lock up and reboot after hitting 100c with all fw updates done i returned it i even undervolted it still locked up i ended up getting the g5 5500 same specs as yours it did the same shit even when undervolted. now i have the ROG ASUS Zephyrus G15 with the 5900HS ryzen 9 and the rtx 3060 and it has been amazing. no more thermal issues.
Personally I would move up to the G15. It has better cooling than the other versions of the G5 plus it will more than likely have a faster CPU and GPU.
@@yakine13 hey, I understand. Money don’t grow on trees. Every system I buy gets kept for a long time. Unless I have to sell to recoup for the next machine. If you can get a deal and it’s in your price range, go for it. I think they should have left the light bar that was located on the front.
@@Meanpooh actually as I always bought used machine, i get to change them easily for better deal every year. I got a brand new ROG g15 2021 with 5800h and 3060 but honestly I just wasn't comfortable with it... I felt like driving for work with a Ferrari you know 😂. So I sold it back and now I'm looking for something much more modest. I'm going back to an older laptop so that I can easily jump with on my bed without freaking out about damaging it. Btw you didn't answer my first question, is the 2020 dell g5 worth it over the older one?
@@yakine13 Ive only owned the G5 5500, the G15 and the M15 R3. Ive never owned any older one. The G15 is better than the G5 5500 because of the thermals. The downside is the inverted board. This is a serious turnoff for most as it quite a chore to repaste if you have to.
I got a nice little boost with mine by adding a laptop cooling pad, keeping up to date with bios, applying thermal paste and overclocking my GPU to get a timespy score of around 7125. For games where I don't need the frames I just disable turbo although the cpu is around 90 degrees on some games like squad with turbo on. In Doom enternal I am getting around 15fps more with turbo boost off than you seem to be getting which is odd. One other thing. Are you stuck on windows version 1909 like me?
I spent a solid week tweaking the machine and have done everything but reinstall Windows 10 in which I should have. The Alienware software in fact does interfere with 3rd party software such as Throttlestop. Even though i was able to keep the machine cool with turbo enabled, i didn't want to lose light bar color control. I just ended up returning the machine for a M15. I'll see how this goes with round 2.
@@Meanpooh Tis a shame they didn't cool the processor better as the GPU is spot on meaning gpu dependent games run amazing but cpu intensive ones either get massive temps or throttle back to like 3.6ghz.
hey man, how did you undervolt this machine? did you have to downgrade your bios? would be amazing if you made a video on it. not a lot of info out there for this exact model.
@@Meanpooh Mine doesn't show up in the Alienware command center. I've already uninstalled and re installed the app and all of its services and drivers. And still nothing.
can i ask you how long ur dell g5 last for just watching youtube unplug from 100% battery? after a year of moding the machine, i still can make it pass 3h and 10'. with 68Wh battery, this laptop is really doing shjt
@@Meanpooh i appreciate it, this laptop really have serious software issue tho, i just realise that 68KWh but for some reason, from the beginning, dell only allow to charge upto around 48KWh, it do help the battery health but all i need is a day of school work without a charger, in conclude, a good hardware laptop with shjtty software, not worth the money
