The gap in performance between the 3050 Ti in the Dell and the 3060 in this is pretty massive, somewhere between 30%-50%.
·
For anyone wondering about performance and temps(CPU) here are mine so far:
Battlefield 5 all ultra (no RTX) = 120fps (90C)
Cinebench r23 = 8530 (95C)
Superposition = 4700 (90C, 80C GPU)

For the screen, none of my classes at my college will require a color-accurate screen, it was actually not as bad as I thought compared to all the other 100%srgb screens I look at every day. Turning up the saturation helps.

The worse thing for me right now is the dim screen and that the build quality is not very good, the trackpad is wobbly and one side is higher than the other. But as a whole, the performance per dollar seems unmatched. Also feels much lighter than my +6lbs 1060 laptop, probably because everything is cheaper materials.

edit: I did undervolt overclock for the benchmarks, edited wattage offset in bios to get 4.2ghz all core instead of 3.5ghz all core hence why the temps are so high in benchmarks, but in normal gameplay, it does not reach that high temps

I bought this and returned from previous deal. Specs for price is great but build quality is super cheap, trackpad has an awful double click every time you need to press it, if you can deal with that then its a good deal

Good deal. I regretted I didn't buy this earlier and I just ordered the Dell G15. But I think the Dell G15 isn't bad. For a bit more money, I get better CPU, more RAM, and better battery.

Yes, thank you. Also read somewhere that the Dell RTX 3060 may have higher TDP compared to the MSI. So the mining hashrate might be higher if someone is interested in mining.

Isn't this the cheapest 3060 laptop available? How bad is the performance at 75w, is it still better than a 3050ti? Thanks

what's the TDP of your RTX 3060 in m15 r5? After some research, I think the Dell g15 5511 has the 115W version. Some folks on redditt are able to get 48mh/s out of the 115W 3060. I'm 95% sure the MSI GF65 got the 90W GPU.
