Are YOU a Cheap-ass Gamer? - Dell G3 

*"Are you a cheapass gamer?"* No. Just poor with a terrible salary.

who was the f***king writer of this? This is gold.

Watching this on my Dell g3 17" big Bertha brick. In school during a break. While plugged in... I am this video...

After using the G3 throughout my engineering degree for various tasks ranging from programming, CAD, Robotics Simulation and a bit of Gaming... It's safe to say that it stood the test of time and I'll always remember you even after you get replaced tomorrow. Thanks G3. I love you.

Well this was different

"The biggest problem for us is the looks." Good lord. I'd rather take a boring plain looking laptop than a black and red RGB-ridden mess.

Linus is picking up those laptops like they’re 4$ 😂

David Attenborough: *_here we see the wild Dell G3 owner, crying at its bank account balance_*

That guy's laptop freezes up lol 6:20

You can't just *drop* insults that easily...

“Producing the dell g3 here does not draw the attention of potential mates” I started dying

“Are you a cheap ass gamer? Well I have the computer for you!” *Laptop is 1,000+ dollars*

6:20 The guy struggling with a white screen made the video

Correction im not a cheap ass gamer im a broke ass gamer

6:20 shoutout to the guy using a RAZER LAPTOP having issues with a white image/screen

People not wearing a Linus tech tips shirt: Linus: I don’t speak poor

Damn...that soundtrack makes me feel sorry for that guy.. lol

6:20 meanwhile the razer fkin froze.

A "real cheap-ass" gamer won't have a gaming laptop !

Me: has a 3k$ pc Also me: hesitates to buy a 10$ game

All laptop reviews should be like this

A Nice Story Telling video about the Features of the Laptop 👍.. rather than reading out the Specs and reviewing.

1:52 the ROG owner Died inside

I seriously thought I was watching a dell ad. This is a great video.

Short answer: Yes Long answer: Absolutely

Quite unique way to review a laptop.

0:46 watching this on my dell g3 on a crooked wooden chair and old shirt

Dis is good script, who ever wrote this should be in Hollywood.

Really like this format! This changes the normal boring reviews and shows what the laptop does! Keep this coming!

People who buy a gaming laptop and never move it

I call the G series an "entry level" Alienware without the badge and Alienware prices. Acer Nitro aka "entry level" Predator

We need more reviews in this format. This is one of my favorite LTT videos

unrealistic, he didn't watch porn before bed

4:20 we know how he’s keeping his job check those knees

Man i really like this review it relates to the casual buyers and sees what one may experience if they buy one. Great review!!!

Brilliant video! The guy's laptop was freezing at 6:20 lol.

C'mon man they're trying something different and I appreciate that. I liked this video, it had the information and the gimmick didn't make it particularly longer than a typical video.

after reading the title i never related to it so much

1:50 nice high five recovery my dude

when the dell g3 is still too expensive for you: sad doggo noises

Id watch these videos more often. It's a tech review, but if the product had a life.

Wow this is definitely a review format I've never seen before, but I thoroughly enjoyed it, plus, it's absolutely brilliantly well made!

This is the first video from linus tech tips that i watched. I am glad to rewatch it.

0:11 did he just cracked laptop screen?

my pc is only $40 that i got out of a dumpster so don't judge my financial decisions linus

6:20 laptop crashing.

'slightly different style of video' is an understatement, but it was also rereshing.

Are you gonna do the G3 3590? (G3 2019 refresh)

This is the bedtime story Linus reads to his pc master race children every night. xD

O look, it's -Adele- a dell

6:24 look at this guy sitting left his laptop gets hang😂😂😂

After 4 years of using this laptop I have to say it was good, very good until it wasn’t my cpu fan has broken twice and I haven’t bothered to get it fixed the second time. Majoring in mechanical engineering I’ve used solid works, fusion 360, and matlab on it and never had issues, battery life isn’t an issue when already expecting to plug it in every where I go but when I can’t it’s definitely not enough. The most taxing games I’ve played on it were apex which it couldn’t handle even at lowest settings, valorant ran fine, Minecraft well it depends on your settings. The hinge is the worst part of the laptop mine is broken badly and I have to squeeze the hinge so it doesn’t crack open as I close it which only became an issue after I had it fixed the first time the cpu fan went out. It’s fans aren’t that loud when running at max. after 4 years of use and abuse it still runs fine I can still game on it even tho I don’t anymore, every time I start it up tho it screams cause the cpu fan isn’t working right but idc not worth buying another laptop for my degree when this can still finish school with me, for my first time ever getting a laptop and having no clue about specs and if it’s priced good or not it’s done me very well.

6:21 did his laptop/game crash? lmao

This was represented in an awesome format with a great script. When will the Linus Tech Tips movie come out? At least the producer and director is clearly up to the task. :-) Keep up the great work.

Ahhh i see you came to check the review for G3 2019 but disappointed because it's 2018 in the video. Hope they have improved a lot in 2019 version including USB thunderbolt, colour accuracy and thermal management system.

My friend bought a Dell G3. It’s cool seeing all of our friend’s $600-850 laptops with i5 cpus, 1050 - 1050Ti gpus, and 1080p screens; all topped off with various red, blue, or green backlight colors

6:20 That struggle with white screen :D

*Feels like a funeral*

This the realest review I've ever seen for laptops.

I just bought the last Dell G3 on a flash sale on Amazon. 17" i5-8300H GTX1060 (yes, the 1060) for literally $650 after taxes! I WIN

6:23 The Razer crahed! LOL!

I loved it. Not the laptop. The video. It was exactly what I like to see from you guys. The humor is on point. Especially that jrpg background music lol. Good job LTT. 👏☺

I liked this immersive story telling narration! It's different and I hope you guys do another one!

I literally got this on my birthday and this was posted on my birthday

1:52 Damn they put this is the final video

I liked the video, but I wouldn't call this "Cheap-ass", this makes my 1st gen Core i3 and GTX-650 look like a calculator lol.

loved it! hope to get such kind of reviews in future

I've never heard someone roast something with such a nice and calm manner

This is a cool format. It's like Linus is reading us tech kids a bedtime story. 5/7, do recommend.

A WILD ACER LAPTOP HAS APPEARED?!?!?!?! 6:00

Loved the vid linus, really helpful especially us uni students who try to balance between proce and performance

My G3 15 has an 8th gen i7, 24 gigs of DDR4, a 256 gig SSD, a 1920×1080 display at 120hz, and a few more tidbits. I think it's pretty ballin, considering it outclasses all of my friend's desktops.

A G3 in it's natural habitat

Left Hanging at 1:52

Just when I thought my P75f was about to be done after 5 years of hard use, I upgraded some parts and it's still kicking!

6:22 The razor white screening, fumbling through alt+tab then failing to present task manager with ctrl+shift+esc. That, was funny.

6:23 white screen of misery

I kinda prefer the more subdued look. Gamer style is not a good look for anyone over 25.

I got dell g3. 16gb ram 512 ssd. Runs smoothly. Doesn't look that flashy so as a uni student I like its look. I'd recommend this to my friends. Doesn't take my entire year saving to buy this and yet provides very smooth flow when using.

I got the newer version it looks the same but it has a 4K monitor

What about the life of integrated graphics people?

This is one of the best reviews you've ever shot...ruined by a horrible title.

Please do this for G5 5587 also.... Loved your new approach in video.. really 🔥

"Are you a cheap-ass gamer?" Yes.

1:53 i can feel that pain

I was so anxious to know how the story would end, I forgot it was a review

4:22 just casually plugging my device to a stranger's laptop

Loved this video! Awesome narrative 👍🏼

1:52 My body hurts...

I plug in a 35 dollar red dragon keyboard and mouse into my PS4... I think it’s safe to say I’m a *Cheap ass Gamer*

I totally expected the poetic tone to drop off after the first 20 seconds. It was pretty hilarious that you did a whole video like that. Good job on keeping the reviews interesting.

We need more reviews like this

Answer: Yes.

5:35 oh nice jake paul

epic intro written very well thumbs up for u

You should re-review the updated design of the g3 15. They upgraded just about everything while still keeping the low profile look.

Linus the type of guy to put his laptop as his tinder profile pic

I’m not a cheap gamer I’m a poor gamer

I just ordered one and from what I can tell Dell has used the same exact model number for laptops with fairly major changes. For instance, my laptop comes with a 512GB M.2 PCIe NVMe Solid State Drive and I keep seeing people mentioning online that their laptops came with a much better display. I need a machine good for video editing and day to day work. What better than an inexpensive gaming laptop? However, what I don't like from watching videos is that access to upgrade RAM or change the battery is much more involved than on any of my other laptops. At least it ensures I check and clean the fans each time I crack it open...

I am using a Dell G7, with an i7 processor, 16GB of RAM, 128GB SSD and 1TB HDD, that also has Thunderbolt, but the TB port doesn’t accept power from docks.
