The Dell G3 15 3500 (regulatory model P89F), released in May 2020, is the 15.6-inch entry point to Dell's G-Series gaming line — an affordable, highly configurable machine built on 10th-gen Intel Core H-series processors and NVIDIA GeForce GTX/RTX graphics. Because it was sold in a wide range of checkout configurations, your exact CPU, GPU, RAM, storage, and display combination determines its final resale price. Before requesting a quote, make sure you have the 2020 G3 15 3500 and not the visually similar prior-generation G3 15 3590 (2019, 9th-gen Intel) — they share the "G3 15" name but are valued on separate pages. If you're trying to sell your laptop online, this is also where many owners discover that Gadget Salvation buys gaming laptops directly for real cash — Zelle, Venmo, Cash App, PayPal, or check — with free shipping, no listings, and no haggling. Select your components using our tool above to view an instant cash offer for your exact device.

Confirm you have the 2020 G3 15 3500 (not the 3590)

The fastest way to tell the two generations apart is the processor: the 3500 uses 10th-gen Intel chips (i5-10300H or i7-10750H), while the older 3590 uses 9th-gen chips (such as the i5-9300H). Check the regulatory badge on the bottom panel for "Reg Model: P89F", which is unique to the 3500. The 3500 came in Eclipse Black or Alpine White with blue gaming accents and a 21.6 mm-thick chassis.

Frequently asked questions

01 How do I confirm my laptop is the 2020 G3 15 3500 and not the 3590?
Check two things. First, the processor generation: the 3500 runs 10th-gen Intel chips (i5-10300H or i7-10750H), while the older 3590 runs 9th-gen chips. You can see this under Settings → System → About in Windows. Second, the regulatory badge on the bottom panel reads "Reg Model: P89F" on the 3500. Both generations are branded "Dell G3 15," so this distinction matters for landing on the correct quote page. Our guide to finding your laptop's model number shows how to read your full specs from the Service Tag.
02 Can I upgrade the RAM or storage, and does it affect my offer?
Yes — the G3 15 3500 is user-serviceable. It has two SO-DIMM slots supporting up to 16GB of DDR4, plus an M.2 NVMe slot and a 2.5" SATA bay, so many owners have added memory or a second drive. When requesting a quote, select the configuration your laptop currently has, since installed upgrades like 16GB of RAM or a larger SSD can raise the offer. Just note the memory ceiling on this model is 16GB.
03 Should I pull my SSD or wipe it before boxing the laptop?
We recommend backing up your personal files and game saves to an external drive or the cloud, then signing out of your Windows and Microsoft accounts before packing. You don't need to remove the M.2 SSD or any hard drive yourself — our technical team performs certified, multi-pass data sanitation on every incoming drive. Review the full process on our data erasure protocols page.
04 Which configurations raise my G3 15 3500 trade-in value the most?
The graphics chip is the biggest factor: an RTX 2060 or GTX 1660 Ti configuration is worth notably more than a GTX 1650 or 1650 Ti unit. After that, the Core i7-10750H, 16GB of RAM, a 512GB or 1TB SSD, and the 300-nit 144Hz display each lift the offer. Because the higher GPU tiers also add Thunderbolt 3 and the upgraded Killer Ethernet, those units are more sought-after on the used market overall.
05 How does the trade-in work and how fast do I get paid?
Many sellers don't realize Gadget Salvation buys gaming laptops directly for cash — no marketplace listings, no lowball offers, and no waiting on a buyer. Pick your configuration and condition above for an instant quote, accept it, and we email a free, insured prepaid shipping label. Once your G3 15 3500 arrives and our team finishes functional testing, payment is approved within two business days via PayPal, Venmo, Zelle, Cash App, or a mailed check. You can see exactly how it works before you commit. Tip: laptop values ease as newer GPU generations arrive, so selling sooner generally means more cash.
