The Dell Inspiron 14 7435 offers a higher resolution touch display which is beneficial for productivity and better navigation with touch support, it also has a longer battery life and is highly portable, which is great for on-the-go use. Despite the lower performance in graphics-intensive tasks, it's well-suited for general use and offers a comfortable keyboard and overall good build quality. On the other hand, the Gigabyte G5 is optimized for gaming and engineering applications with its dedicated Nvidia graphics card, but it has a shorter battery life and is less portable. Its keyboard offers a numeric pad and customizable backlighting, which can be an advantage for some users. Both laptops have solid performance for general use, but if you prioritize gaming or graphics work, the Gigabyte G5 is a better fit, while for everyday productivity and ease of carrying, the Dell Inspiron might be more appealing.

Eric Grevstad | August 2023
"We see no shame in an economy laptop missing the four-star mark. Frankly, we considered giving the Inspiron 14 2-in-1 three-and-a-half stars for its low price, competitive performance, and long battery life. Unfortunately, working with a screen that can't deliver at least 300 nits of brightness is simply no fun to the point of detrimental. Still, if you're looking for a convertible laptop on a tight budget, it's worth keeping an eye on Dell's sales and discounts. That Lavender Blue model is fairly tempting."

"The Gigabyte G5 KE is a midrange gaming laptop that checks most boxes. Gigabyte makes good use of the Core i5-12500H and RTX 3060 Laptop GPU combo, and we find no untoward issues with overall performance. The dual-fan quad-heatpipe cooling arrangement does well to ensure that the underlying hardware doesn't throttle under load. That being said, the display is below par when compared to 2023 standards, especially when competing devices."
