Dell G15 5530 vs Lenovo LOQ 15IRH8: which one fits your build
The Dell G15 5530 suits budget 1080p gaming and storage upgraders wanting a cheap SATA add-on, though it is not the pick for 1440p gaming and thin/light preference. Buy the Lenovo LOQ 15IRH8 for 1080p gaming at high settings in current titles and buyers who want more GPU headroom without changing chassis, though it is the wrong buy for long unplugged gaming sessions and buyers who need Thunderbolt or WiFi 6E/7. The same goes for anyone planning a full RAM swap rather than an add-a-stick upgrade. It is not the one for anyone who wants a free RAM slot out of the box. 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.
