Our Verdict

Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming 3i (2021)

Dell G15 (2022)

The Dell G15 (2022) is better than the Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming 3i (2021) for gaming and other demanding production workloads like video or 3D graphics. The Dell is available with newer and faster Intel 12th Gen. CPUs, as well as more powerful GPU options, like the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 and 3070 Ti. It's also available with a 240Hz QHD display, whereas the Lenovo is only available with FHD screens. However, the Lenovo is more portable, and it feels more sturdily built. The Lenovo also has a better keyboard and touchpad, and it doesn't get as hot or loud under load.
