      should wait for 1070 at this price

      • Jiv on 28/11/2019 - 22:51

        I thought RTX 2060 was slightly better than 1070, and also has ray tracing?

        • gotnomoney on 28/11/2019 - 23:05

          ray tracing is a meme, 1070 has better performance

          • Gorian4 on 28/11/2019 - 23:13

            @gotnomoney: The benchmarks don't lie, 2060 is about 10% better than 1070

          • mr_asstight on 28/11/2019 - 23:15

            @gotnomoney: no it doesn't.

                @gotnomoney: Thanks for sharing. It's good to know stuff like:
                - More CUDA cores in a mobile GTX 1070 (2048) vs desktop GTX 1070 (1920)
                - Lower clock on a mobile RTX 2060 to reduce the TDP (compensate for the RTX chip heat?)
                - While mobile 1070 is 5-15% less performance than the desktop verison, 2060 is 20-25% less!

                • gotnomoney on 30/11/2019 - 17:04

                  @Jiv: No problem, watching a few reviews gives you the best idea. those benchmark websites are very ballpark, and you have to make sure you compare to the mobile (max-q) versions of the graphics cards not the desktops.

      • FireRunner on 28/11/2019 - 23:34

        I think they've mostly stopped with GTX1000 series and selling RTX and GTX1600 series graphics.
        You won't find a 1070 at this price. The RTX2070 is $220 extra commented below

    Pity not 4K screen

    • Gorian4 on 28/11/2019 - 22:12
      +2

      4K screens on these gaming laptops are a rare find, and when you do find them, they are very expensive.

      A productivity focused laptop, usually without a high end graphics card, will be more likely to have a 4K screen and not at a ridiculous price

    • FireRunner on 28/11/2019 - 23:24
      +1

      It would match a higher refresh rate rather than higher resolution being a gaming laptop and all.
      Unfortunately it's just 60hz 1080p, still a steal at this price

    • syousef on 29/11/2019 - 09:59

      4K is a huge drain on the battery for not much bling.

    I bought the G7 i7-9770 back a couple of months ago when it was $1700. Aside from the problems I've had, I'm still happy with it.

    Cons:
    - It's super heavy, gets hot quick and I can't rest it on my lap at all.
    - Noisy fans, like hearing rain on a tin roof.
    - Fans repeatedly won't start and have had 2 service calls (4 weeks in, 3 months in) from DELL with replacement of both fans and heat sync each time. Still not fixed, so DELL are replacing the laptop with a wait time of 3-4 weeks while they build me a new one (end Dec).
    - I'm always plugged into AC and on a riser for air flow. Not really a problem for me as I'm not using it as a portable device. It's pretty heavy to lug around, even without a battery.

    Pros:
    - Fast opening photoshop and illustrator at the same time. I'm talking seconds.
    - Super fast 3D rendering of big scenes with detailed IRAY, ray-traced, occlusion, lights, 1440x1440 output, etc. I'm talking minutes, watching it render on screen and not overnight.
    - I can happily multi-task across heavy programs, import, export and render without closing one, or crashing.
    - DELL warranty and service guys are responsive, quick and friendly.
    - I don't need to leave it on overnight to render. Turning the laptop off at night is a new thing for me. lol
    - each morning Malywarebytes runs it's scan within seconds, where as previously on my Acer i5 it would take 1 hour and take up vital memory. It's crazy the amount of time I have saved.
    - 17" screen and keyboard is a good size.

    Mods:
    - I replaced both SSDs because they were super slow and full of DELL bloatware.
    - DELL's embedded Assistant Program also caused a few blue screens before I removed the SSDs.
    - Swapped out the 2x8GB RAM with 2x16GB RAM

    • Zorlin on 28/11/2019 - 23:42

      I think you meant heat sink?

    • congo on 29/11/2019 - 00:41

      Couldn't you reset the PC to remove all the bloatware?
      What M.2 drive did you get?

      Was the RAM's performance ok and you just wanted more RAM?

    • Cheap Rich Guy on 29/11/2019 - 01:21

      Dell are happy to give you a new one even though you’ve modified the internals?

    • Winston100s on 29/11/2019 - 12:01

      I am looking at upgrading the SSD, already have run out of space with only GTA V installed on it and 1x32GB card of raw images. Can you replace the ssd by yourself without having the warranty be void and is it a complicated task? I might also upgrade the memory, what do you recommend? I can totally relate on the weight, and yesterday my sister walks in my room and says is it raining…. No, it's the fans making sound lol

    • blacktoads on 29/11/2019 - 16:06

      just apply better thermal paste.

      How do you transfer the windows license from the old hard drive to the new one?

      • Gorian4 on 01/12/2019 - 02:01

        Alot of the Windows licences are stored in the BIOS/UEFI now, so an SSD change shouldn't affect you

    • MuddyClear on 01/12/2019 - 09:18

      Repast heatsink with liquid metal and undervolt with XTU/ThrottleStop and your laptop will be 25 degrees cooler. No more loud fans

  • GunnerMcDagget on 28/11/2019 - 22:52

    I have this one. Only real issue I have is that the fans get loud even when I'm not doing anything. Sitting on an empty desktop and it randomly starts up full speed. Like a jet taking off. Other issue is the throttling. When it's running on battery power the CPU and GPU are throttled so much that I can't run anything released in the last few years. While plugged in it runs fine.

    • FKG on 28/11/2019 - 23:16

      Tried cooling mats?

      • GunnerMcDagget on 29/11/2019 - 06:54

        Yeah. Works OK but I still get the speed throttling while it's not plugged in.

    • meong on 29/11/2019 - 09:18

      Have explored the nvidia settings to make sure it runs full performance on battery?

      • GunnerMcDagget on 29/11/2019 - 10:41

        Yeah, tried all that. After much searching I found out that it's a safety feature. The laptop throttles itself to stop the battery from getting damaged. No way to avoid it.

    • Winston100s on 29/11/2019 - 12:25

      Mine only does that when I have it plugged in. On battery power it doesn't perform as good so the fans are fairly quiet even when gaming

        How much better is 2070?
        10% better?
        2060 is suitable for most games?

        • huuuuugo on 29/11/2019 - 08:31

          2060 will get you all modern games on medium to high settings with over 60FPS easily. It might be at 40FPS with ultra settings

        • bchliu on 29/11/2019 - 08:34

          The 2070 is around 10-20% faster in most games than the mobile 2060 (Ultra settings, 1080p+ res). It is closer to the same speed as the desktop 2060 since the mobile versions are always clocked lower for battery and heat.
          https://www.notebookcheck.net/GeForce-RTX-2070-Laptop-vs-GeF…

          Is it worth it? depends on what you want (gaming? business? video editing?). I would definitely upgrade the storage though on it first thing if I buy it.. so maybe what you save you use for the upgrade of the storage. Some would want more RAM but 16GB is plenty to go through for 95% of people out.

      • stebie on 30/11/2019 - 13:54

        And 144Hz screen instead of 60Hz.

    • meong on 29/11/2019 - 09:22

      Dell doesn't state it properly on the ebay pahe but really they only have 2070 Max-Q on their laptops.

      Only ASUS can fit a full blown 2070 which is on par with 2080 Max-Q.

  • Farrba on 28/11/2019 - 23:44

      Im researching between those 2 as well. One thing is this one is 17" vs 15"

    • bchliu on 29/11/2019 - 08:24

      The two are on equal par with each other mostly - some wins with the 2060 and others with 1660. 2060 will give you extra ray tracing abilities in games that the 1660 won't since it is based on an older GPU design:

      Repaste heatsink with liquid metal and undervolt with XTU/ThrottleStop software. Expect a 25-30 degree drop, which will allow you to game full on battery and without loud fan noise.

      • linhlink on 01/12/2019 - 18:22

        This will void the warranty?
        "undervolt with XTU/ThrottleStop software", so what voltage should we use?
        What is the side effect for reducing the voltage?

        • MuddyClear on 02/12/2019 - 17:32

          Yes it will void warranty IF they notice it, which they won’t for obvious reasons. Goto YouTube on how to use the software or read the online documentation. The side effects are a cooler CPU, no throttle, and no loud fan.

      Great, thanks, was wondering how much for the added warranty. How do we go about adding these? Having to message them separately to get a custom listing as mentioned on the warranty page only way or any way around? Dell Australia aren't checking their messages until next business day (sadly).

      • Disgustipated on 01/12/2019 - 19:15

        Message them through the eBay app or site. I thought they wouldn’t respond but I got responses overnight. (eg 3am sat morn). They then create you a custom listing.

        • aaruu on 01/12/2019 - 19:34

Will buy on my credit card which gives one year extended warranty as its included feature. Two years better than one :)

              • IJustKnowStuff on 02/12/2019 - 12:19

                @aaruu: Is there a reason you're going this one, compared to the 144hz, 2070 Max-Q one for $1719.20? Yes It's $224 more, but I thought getting the better screen and dGPU was worth it.

                • aaruu on 02/12/2019 - 13:04

                  @IJustKnowStuff: Exactly my thoughts, might as well go a little higher spec with marginal cost difference with the hope that it will last a few years.
                  My previous i7 XPS 17 (still working albeit quite slow now) has lasted me 8+ years. Went with higher spec then too with no regrets.
                  Used this post only for the extra warranty cost info, still going with the other config
                  Plus, I will be claiming GST via TRS too, can't complain, can I?

              @IJustKnowStuff: They finally replied at 1:30PM AEST. Warranty costs as above valid. Have requested a custom listing. Let's see if they respond back in time to make use of this deal.

                @aaruu: Thanks for letting me know. I'll keep an eye out for a response. I told them what I wanted,so I might get lucky and they may just send me a custom order straight up.
