Dell’s gaming laptops are getting the inevitable 10th-gen upgrade in 2020. The G-series getting the upgrade are the Dell G3 and Dell G5. There’s also an AMD version of the G5 called the Dell G5 SE.

In terms of design and overall configuration, all three are pretty similar. Dell is sticking to the thinner design it introduced in the G-series a couple of years back so these three will look nearly indistinguishable.

All three will come with a 15-inch screen with various display, memory, and storage options. Here’s a quick look:
