Dell G15 5530 vs Lenovo Legion Pro 5 16IRX9: Comparison
Dell G15 5530 vs Lenovo Legion Pro 5 16IRX9: the refresh rate difference
On refresh rate the spread is 31%, Dell G15 5530 165 Hz against Lenovo Legion Pro 5 16IRX9 240 Hz, so Lenovo Legion Pro 5 16IRX9 takes it.
Who each one is for
The Dell G15 5530 is the one to take for budget 1080p gaming and storage upgraders wanting a cheap SATA add-on, though it is the wrong buy for 1440p gaming and thin/light preference. The Lenovo Legion Pro 5 16IRX9 suits 1440p gaming on a budget flagship, though it is not built for Thunderbolt peripheral users. Our rating of the Dell G15 5530 (7.9/10): the G15 5530 has a Core i7-13650HX, an RTX 40 series GPU with 8GB of VRAM and 16GB of DDR5 in SO-DIMM slots. The 15.6-inch 1080p IPS panel runs at 165Hz, the 86Wh battery is large and there is a free storage slot. It suits 1080p gaming and CPU-heavy work. It weighs 2.85 kg and has no Thunderbolt port. The 1080p panel limits 1440p gaming, and the size is wrong for anyone wanting a thin, light machine.
