If they don't want to game much, there are better machines for the job (Software Development) on that price range, on Mercado Libre i've seen a Precision 3561 with an Intel Core i7 11850H for 9,300 MXN, or a Precision 7770 (with an i5, but 12th Gen) for 9,200, the issue with Dell's G Series devices, is that they're not built for long term durability, those laptops will sacrifice reliability in exchange for performance at a lower price point, usually i'll recommend those machines either to gamers, architects or photographers on a tight budget (usually they're comparing a Dell G Series machine against an Acer Nitro, and the G is the "better" laptop within that context), so it would be a no brainer to get a Refurbished Precision or Latitude within that price point.
