For this year's game product, if you watched the performance of the Dell Crate G15 last year and look forward to further upgrades this year, it is estimated that you should be surprised now. Dell did upgrade the product and inherited the performance advantages of the previous generation G15, but the single hard disk slot of this hades design directly dissuaded buyers, and even some small partners who had already purchased said that they regretted it too much. I don't know if it is because the 12th generation G15 is not powerful, Dell has quietly added two new models to the 11th generation G15, and the upgrade range is not small.
Dell magazine G15 series is not a product but a class of products, each generation of games is a magazine G15, but the subdivision model will be different, such as the latest 12th generation Core model is G15 5520, and the 11th generation is G15 5511, and then it will be subdivided according to the configuration, such as G15 5520 R1766B, which is equipped with RTX3060 and low-spec screen version, R1866B is the same configuration of high-spec models, 11th generation Core models are the same, And now two new products are mixed in.
These two new products are G15 5511 R1866SE and R2866SE, which can be clearly seen in the product list and the naming method is different from other products. The hardware configuration is 11th generation high-end models, and the upper limit of screen specifications is pushed up, and it is equipped with a 360Hz ultra-high refresh rate screen. The color scheme of these two models is also different from other models, and they are marked as "black gold version". So what's so special?
In fact, these two new products really have a difference, Dell G15 series has always been the use of composite material body, simply put, a special processing of plastic as the main body. The two "black gold versions" were replaced by metal bodies, which led to it being different from the G15 cruise box on sale. As for whether the thickness and weight of the product have changed, it is not too clear now, after all, the products have not yet appeared.
Although I have not seen what the product looks like, it can be clearly seen that the price is a little higher. Take R1866B as an example, this product is a Core i7-11800H processor, 16GB of memory and 512GB SSD, with RTX3060 graphics card, the screen is 165Hz specifications, 1080p resolution, the price is 8799 yuan. The price of the R1866SE black gold version is 8999 yuan, and the black gold version has a model with a 360Hz refresh rate, and the price directly exceeds 10,000 yuan, even if the preferential price is 9999 yuan to get.
So is this black gold version worth buying now? If you're a die-hard die-hard fan of Dell, buying a black gold version might be a good choice in the case of a 12th-generation model crotch pull. After all, as long as you add 200 yuan, you can get a metal G15 that is different from others, but if you look at it horizontally, why buy an 11th-generation Core for 8999 yuan? Isn't it nice to wait a little while to win 12 generations of new products? Therefore, different users will have different demands, and it is not easy to generalize. In short, for consumers, one more choice is better than one less choice.
