TL;DR: The budget-friendly Dell G3 15 gaming laptop is surprisingly sleek and is on sale for $549.99 — a rare 45% savings.

Gamers who prefer computers over consoles have been itching for Red Dead Redemption 2 on PC.

While we wait for that Nov. 5 release, we've been taking a look back at our favorite video games of the 2010s.

Veteran gamers are surely reminiscing on the excitement of picking up some of the decade's best games. Leaving the house during the first week (okay, month) of playing a new game may never get less painful, but thankfully, it is easier to take a gaming rig on the go. The Dell G3 15 gaming laptop is a classic choice, and it's on sale for $549.99 at Dell. It's usually $999.99.

Opting for a budget-friendly gaming laptop can be risky. Most are bulky, die after a few hours, and get so hot on the bottom that playing in the airport is barely in option. The Dell G3 15 is different: Those Nvidia GTX 1050 Ti graphics are hard to come by in a device that's not Razer or Alienware, and the blue pinstripe design gives it a bit of flare despite its plastic build. The fact that this is considered a steal at $999.99 makes the sale price of $549.99 seem like magic that even the Elder Scrolls universe can't achieve.

PCMag's review confirms the value:

"For its price, the Dell G3 15 represents a solid buy. Its design and features don't inspire, but this configuration doesn't have any major shortcomings. Play your config cards right, and you can land a nice storage combination, in terms of both type and capacity, and the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti provides some marked extra oomph."

Regularly $999.99, you can save $450 and get the 256GB model for $549.99 with free shipping.
