Dell's latest round of gaming laptop deals includes a fantastic low-cost option this week in the form of this 15.6-inch G15 model for $699.99 (was $1,168) (opens in new tab).

Not only does this machine benefit from a huge $469 price cut, but an RTX 3050 Ti graphics card, 512GB SSD, 8GB of RAM, and Intel i5-11260H processor make it one of the most specced-out machines you'll find in this price range. It's not super high-end, but if you're looking for a gaming laptop on a budget this is one of your best bets this week.

In particular, bagging a 'TI' version of the RTX 3050 graphics card for under $700 is a real bonus. While it still can't match the higher-end RTX 3060 for outright performance, the RTX 3050 Ti has an edge versus the standard card - enough to ensure a decent level of performance in a budget machine. Overall, you'll be able to play most games at high settings with this Dell G15, and have a few good years of performance out of it too.

So, if you're looking for a gaming laptop deal (opens in new tab) that doesn't break the bank, offers excellent performance, and can double up as a great back to school (opens in new tab) machine, then definitely consider checking out this Dell G15.
