Dell G7 15 7590 Review: Strong Gaming Performance at a More Reachable Price
Editor note: This article is an original English adaptation of a Notebook-Center.ru review, prepared by Notebook Center for readers who want a clear practical summary of the Dell G7 15 7590.
Overview
The Dell G7 15 7590 is positioned as a gaming notebook that stays below Alienware pricing while still offering high-performance hardware. The reviewed configuration combines a six-core Intel Core i7-9750H processor, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 graphics, 16 GB of DDR4 memory, and both SSD and HDD storage. It also adds a 15.6-inch Full HD IPS display with a 144 Hz refresh rate, which is a meaningful advantage for fast-paced games and smoother everyday use.
In practical terms, this model is aimed at buyers who want strong gaming capability, easy upgrade access, and a broad port selection, but who can accept a heavier chassis, modest contrast, and noticeable fan noise under load.

Design and Build
The chassis uses metal panels and a dark gray finish that looks restrained for a gaming machine, even if the ventilation layout adds a more aggressive touch. Fingerprints appear quickly on the lid and palm rest, so the clean look does not last long without regular wiping. The notebook opens to about 140 degrees, and most of the connectivity is placed at the back instead of crowding the sides.
Upgrade access is straightforward after removing the bottom screws, which gives access to the battery, storage drives, and memory. Build quality is acceptable rather than exceptional: the keyboard deck stays stable during typing, but the lid can twist under pressure and the hinges may creak when adjusting the screen angle.
Display, Audio, and Webcam
The 15.6-inch IPS panel offers Full HD resolution, a matte surface, wide viewing angles, and a 144 Hz refresh rate. Brightness is good enough for use near a window or outdoors, and the fast response time helps motion look cleaner. The weak point is contrast, which makes dark scenes look more gray than deep black.
The speakers are loud enough for casual use, but bass is limited, so headphones remain the better choice for games and films. The 1 MP webcam is suitable for basic video calls, though image quality is grainy and not especially bright.
Keyboard and Input
The full-size island keyboard uses large keys, includes a numpad, and provides medium travel with clear feedback. According to the source review, key presses stay fairly quiet, and the larger control keys are easy to find during touch typing. The four-zone RGB backlight is another welcome detail for a gaming notebook in this price class.
The touchpad is small and shifted left, but its slightly rough surface feels pleasant and it responds quickly to common multitouch gestures. The integrated buttons have short travel and produce only a light click.
Performance and Gaming Focus
This configuration is built around Intel's six-core Core i7-9750H and NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 2060 with 6 GB of GDDR6 memory. The hardware is clearly aimed at demanding games and heavy applications rather than simple office use. The integrated Intel UHD Graphics 630 is available for lighter daily tasks, while the dedicated GPU handles the real workload when performance matters.
Memory and storage are also sensible for the class. The laptop includes 16 GB of DDR4-2666 RAM across two slots, with support for up to 64 GB, plus a combination of a 1 TB hard drive and a 256 GB SSD. That gives users both fast system responsiveness and room for a larger game library.
Ports, Battery, and Heat
The port layout is one of the stronger points of this model. It includes USB 3.1 ports on both sides, USB Type-C with Thunderbolt 3, HDMI 2.0, Mini DisplayPort, RJ-45, and an SD card reader. Wireless connectivity covers Wi-Fi 802.11ac and Bluetooth 5.0, so there are no obvious compromises here.
The 60 Wh battery delivered about 4.5 hours in web browsing or 1080p video playback at roughly 250 cd/m2 brightness in the source review, while gaming cut runtime to around 1.5 hours. Heat and noise are more difficult compromises. The chassis stays comfortable at idle, but gets noticeably warm during gaming, especially near the numpad and WASD area, and fan noise remains present even during lighter work.
Verdict
The Dell G7 15 7590 makes a solid case for buyers who want gaming performance close to more expensive models without stepping into premium-brand pricing. Its main strengths are the Core i7 and RTX 2060 combination, the 144 Hz IPS display, easy service access, useful RGB keyboard, generous memory potential, and wide port selection that includes Thunderbolt 3.
The trade-offs are also clear. The screen contrast is not especially strong, the speakers are average, and the notebook becomes hot and loud when pushed. Even so, for users who care most about gaming power and practical hardware value, the G7 15 7590 remains an appealing configuration.
