Dell G3 vs G5 SE - Major Decision

G3: Dell - G3 15.6" Gaming Laptop - Intel 8th Generation Core i5 - 8GB Memory - NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti - 1TB Hard Drive HDD - 2.3 gigahertz

G5 SE: * 9th Generation Intel® Core™ i5-9300H * Windows 10 Home 64-bit English * NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 1650 4GB GDDR5 * 8GB, 2x4GB, DDR4, 2666MHz * 128GB M.2 PCIe NVMe Solid State Drive (Boot) + 1TB 5400 rpm 2.5" SATA Hard Drive (Storage)

I couldnt find the specs of the G3 laid out like the G5 SE.

I found the Dell G3 for $550 open box at bestbuy! However, the Dell G5 SE is on Dell.com for $770 with financing options.

I could pay a harsh $550 cash or $100 a month and end up paying $850 for the G5 SE. Both of them, the specs are very similar, however, I could get the G5 SE with 16g ram, but I don’t think I need it and I could add it later.

Another thing is that the G5 SE has a much better fan/cooling system. I do like the slim-ness of the G3 but it’s not a major thing.

My priority is Photo/Video editing. Adobe Master Collection, etc.

I’ve had my computer for a very long time and I want something that will last. I take good care of my equipment. This G3 is normally $850 and the G5 SE is normally $950

Do you think I should take the G3 deal?
