Dell G5 15 5587 [G557161S2NDW-60B]

Utility design

From the outside, the Dell G5 15 5587 leaves a discreet impression. If you turn off the backlight of the keyboard, then it is easy to confuse it with a simple office laptop. But if you turn it in your hands, then you can’t call it boring: just look at the rear grille, which subtly resembles the design of Ferrari sports cars.

metal case

The body of the laptop is metal. The lid is made of magnesium alloy that is pleasant to the touch. It is faint, but still fingerprints remain. Fortunately, eliminating them is not difficult. But for the panel, an aluminium alloy is used, which practically does not collect prints. In general, the feeling of the body and build quality is purely positive. In a time when people are used to changing their gadgets every year, this model evokes a nostalgic feeling of old, reliable and assembled electronics for years.

The 15-inch display has a Full HD resolution (1920x1080 pixels) and is made using IPS technology. The screen has good colour rendition and contrast, the eye lacks a margin of brightness, but this problem is solved by an anti-reflective coating that allows you to work comfortably on a sunny day.

Modern six-core processor

If you look under the hood of the laptop, then there we will see a 6-core Core i7 processor of the Intel Coffee Lake family (maximum frequency 4.1 GHz, 9 MB L3 cache), 16 GB of DDR4 memory and a bunch of a massive 1000 GB HDD for storing the collection games and a high-speed 256 SSD to install the system and the games you are currently playing.

Powerful, quiet and cool graphics card

The discrete video accelerator NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 Max-Q with 6 GB of GDDR5 video memory is responsible for the video component. The prefix “Max-Q” means that the chip is 10% inferior to the stock GTX 1060, since it is focused on lower power consumption, but at the same time it is 15% more powerful than the GTX 1050 Ti, and the GTX 1050 is 20-25% more powerful. In general, the bundle of hardware demonstrates excellent gaming performance and will not falter in front of modern gaming blockbusters with ultra-realistic graphics a la Battlefield 5 Metro: Exodus or Project Cars.

Thunderbolt Support

Among the features of this model, it is worth highlighting a keyboard with water protection and support for the Thunderbolt interface, which will be useful to owners of Apple gadgets. But the laptop does not break records of battery life and, with an average load, can work less than 4 hours.

In general, the G5 15 5587 gives the impression of a very smart, powerful and balanced laptop without weak points. The only controversial point is its appearance, which will not be for all fans of gaming laptops.
