Dell G3 (15 3590) review

A G3 With Strong Bones and a Missing Graphics Record

The Dell G3 15 3590 is a gaming-branded machine whose record lost its CPU and GPU somewhere along the way: only the 32 GB of memory survived. The sheet still credits it with a mid-band performance index of 58.9 — 37% above the general-class median — but every GPU-dependent axis reads zero, and no listing price is recorded.

Where it holds up

Overall performance reads 58.9 in the mid band, top quartile against a class median of 43.05, and the office axis matches it at 58.9 — enough evidence that the CPU side of this machine was real. Memory at 32 GB sits at the class median of 32, comfortable for the generation.

Where it falls short

The graphics story is a coverage gap rather than a measured zero: no GPU entry exists for this record, and the gaming, modeling, engineering CAD, and photo design indices all read 0 as a result. For a machine sold as a G3 gaming laptop, that absence is the single most important fact in the sheet. Portability reads 29.8 in the low band, and the composite score of 24 sits 55% below the class median of 53.

Price and depreciation

No listing price is recorded and no depreciation curve is modeled for this entry — there is no baseline to project from.

Alternatives to consider

The G3 3779 in this batch carries a full record — an i5 8300H and GTX 1050 with recommended-level passes in Overwatch and Rainbow Six Siege. The G5 15 5587 (2018) at $245 is the strongest data-backed pick of the G-family here, with a GTX 1060.

Bottom line

Fairly priced for the class. The CPU and memory readings are credible; until a GPU entry exists for this record, its gaming badge is unverifiable — treat it as an office-capable 15-inch instead. The 32 GB of memory supports that reading, and the mid-band office score of 58.9 agrees with it.
