Dell Inspiron G7 7790 review

Seventeen inches of 2019 desk gaming

The Inspiron G7 7790 (2019) lists at $700 — 7% below the gaming-class median — pairing a six-core i7-9750H with an RTX 2060 6GB and 64GB of RAM. The 17-inch format writes the usual trade: 3.3kg against a 2.4kg class median earns a desktop_replacement rating, mobility lands at 12 versus 29, reliability at 30 versus 53. The capability sheet is fully green: Overwatch, GTA V and Rainbow Six Siege at recommended, Photoshop and VS Code at minimum.

A 2060 with room to breathe

The 6GB 2060 clears recommended bars across the measured set, and the 17-inch chassis gives it thermal headroom the thin machines trade away — sustained sessions run at full clocks. Six cores and 64GB round out a configuration that handles production work as comfortably as the games. At $700, the hardware-per-dollar reading is solid for its band.

The honest costs

Mobility at 12/29 is the flagged watch-out — this machine commutes between outlets, not cities. Reliability at 30/53 is the era-standard caveat for a six-year-old performance chassis. Neither is unusual; both should be accepted knowingly rather than discovered later.

Price trajectory

From an $1,800 anchor to $700 at an 11.29% annual rate, projecting $551 in two years — a 21.31% drop. Standard aging for a standard-strong machine.

Against its neighbors

Upward, Lenovo's Legion Y540-17IRH at $789 and Legion 5 15IMH05H at $750. Downward, Dell's G7 17 7700 at $664 — a newer 1660 Ti chassis for $36 less — and HP's Pavilion Gaming 16-a0032dx at $654. The 7790's pitch is the 2060 tier at the lowest 17-inch asking price in its band.

Bottom line

Fairly priced desk-gaming: 2060-class receipts, six cores, 64GB and a big screen for under-median money. The weight and reliability readings are the standard, honest terms.
