Talking about the Dell G7 in this video, the question stands, is the Dell G7 a good laptop for graphic design? This is a graphic designers review of the Dell G7, let's talk about it... ⏩ Get the Dell G7 ( https://amzn.to/2QAZB5K ) Does the Dell G7 bring enough power and usability to make a great graphic design laptop, and on a medium-sized budget? This is not a cheap laptop by any means but it does fall under the budget category in my perspective? In this review, I am going to look at four essential aspects of the Dell G7 to test it's ability to stand as a worthy graphic design laptop: Connectivity, Usability, Performance, and Durability. 1. Connectivity Connectivity is the first aspect I am going to talk about with the Dell G7. It is important to consider the ports available on the side of the laptop when you are making a buying decision. I use the ports on the side of my Dell laptop daily, if not multiple times per day so I find it essential to have the available ports that make my day more productive. The ports available on the sides of the Dell G7 are HDMI, USB, USB-C, Thunderbolt, SD Card, and Headphone jack. In my opinion, this graphic design laptop contender has everything you need to call itself a suitable fit for designers. 2. Usability How important is it that you have a laptop that is usable and easy to maneuver from your home to the office, from class to class, or from airport to airport? For some graphic designers and creatives, in general, it is essential to have a lightweight machine that is easy to carry from place to place. The Dell G7 is not a thin laptop in my opinion compared to say the Dell XPS 15 or the MacBook Pro. So if you are looking for an ultra-thin laptop look elsewhere. The Dell G7 is not a thin laptop, but this could pay off to be a substantial benefit to someone less concerned with weight and size and more concerned with performance. (Coming later in the post) 3. Performance The Dell G7 has great connectivity, decent usability, but what about its performance. Is this laptop equipped to handle the heavy lifting of programs like Photoshop, After Effects and Premiere Pro? The Dell G7 comes with 16GB of RAM, 256GB SSD, the 8th Generation i7 Processor, and a GTX 1060 Max-Q Graphic Processing Unit. This computer is not only up to par but supersedes my benchmark for a qualified graphic design laptop. Remember early when I was talking about the Thickness and weight of the Dell G7 being a possible benefit to someone looking for performance over usability. Well, because this laptop is thicker than most laptops featured to graphic designers it allows the powerful GTX 1060 Max-Q Graphics Processing Unit to receive more breathing room. This allows the fans to work with far better efficiency, allowing the laptop to run cooler and faster! 4. Durability The Dell G7 has a build quality that is a step below the laptops I wholly stand behind. Because most of the high-end laptops offer a mix of metal-alloy or metal-alloy plus carbon fiber this laptop does not quite kick the budget category. But if it was built with Metal and Carbon than you would not have such a great buy on your hands at the price. So, in this case, you have to look at the performance of the machine more than the aesthetics. A soft and durable sleeve plus careful hands will keep this machine protected. ------- DISCLAIMER: ALL LINKS IN DESCRIPTION ARE AFFILIATE LINKS Thanks for Supporting Our Channel!
