            @Jacko3000: As I stated before, laptop is set in RAID mode, do yourself a favour and change it to AHCI mode and reinstall windows 10, so you can later add the second NVMe drive.

            • Jacko3000 on 11/08/2020 - 12:36

              @kml22: Great suggestion! Do I need a copy of Windows to reinstall? Or does the laptop have some sort of back up?

              @kml22: Can you install the 2nd M.2 SSD as well as another 2.5 inch SSD at the same time? I have a spare 2.5 inch one around.

                @bypeng: No, it doesn't have spaces for 2.5" SSD, no space because of the battery. You can only use m.2 NVMe drive.

    I just got mine. Just started the laptop and noticed the trackpad is quite loose and the right click a bit sticky. Anyone else have the same issue?

    • gustus on 11/08/2020 - 14:01

      I just got mine and opened it. The trackpad doesnt feel loose to me

        • gustus on 11/08/2020 - 14:24

          Actually after a few more tappings, i think my right side is slightly loose. This is my first dell/windows laptop (have been using mac) so i cant quite tell

          • akte on 11/08/2020 - 14:37

            @gustus: I have a HP (home) and Dell (work). Both trackpad feels firm, but the G7 I got seems a bit springy. With light push like scrolling pages, I can feel the trackpad up and down slight at the bottom part. With the HP and Dell laptop at work I don't have that issue.

            • F1ProjectOne on 11/08/2020 - 14:56

    For people wants to add another ssd. Is WD Black a bit overkill? Would A2000 or WD Blue be fast enough? I don’t know too much about SSD.

    • Dipaty on 11/08/2020 - 19:01
      +1

      The current WD Black deal is a good one to jump on - you're getting a considerable speed boost for 10-20% more cost than the A2000 / WD Blue.
      I personally would get one if I hadn't already purchased a Samsung 970 last month.
      However in saying that, it really depends on what you'll be using it for. If it's only to store your games on or movies, etc then you probably won't notice a difference between the WD Black and the cheaper options.

      • kml22 on 11/08/2020 - 19:33

        True, I'm using the Crucial P1 for storing game files and movies.

    Hi guys,

    Is anyone else getting a high pitched whine to their fan noise or is it just me?
    When the fans kick in for me, it's like a bit like a vacuum, pretty unbearable.

    Might be forced to return it, even though everything else is pretty great. With non-heavy work loads and disabled turbo boost, it's silent and has got great battery life in Eco mode.

      It sounds pretty noisy, but you have a 2070 and an i7 inside, the fans better sound loud to get rid of the heat. Wouldn't trust it if there is little sound

    Switching from RAID to AHCI to have an additional m.2 drive for storage.

    Any one can recommend a 2TB M.2 SSD for the G7 with similar spec/quality as A2000? Thanks in advance…

    • Dipaty on 12/08/2020 - 14:19

      Depends on how much you want to spend and what you want to use it for.
      The WD Blue is on-par with the A2000 and can be found around $300 for the 2Tb option.

      • bypeng on 12/08/2020 - 14:23

        Thanks. I thought the Blue is much slower than A2000? 560MB/s vs 2200MB/s? Was hoping to find something with similar speed as A2000 around $300.

        • Dipaty on 12/08/2020 - 15:45
          +1

          Looks like you're looking at the wrong WD Blue. Make sure it's the NVMe version which has read speed: 2400MB/s and write: 1950MB/s.
          I'm pretty sure it's actually faster than the A2000

          • bypeng on 12/08/2020 - 16:44

            @Dipaty: Thanks. You are right. There are two “WD Blue”. The SN550 one is faster but it does not come in 2TB, I think.

                  @bypeng: that's true, well spotted - my mistake..
                  Looks like the SN550 doesn't come larger than 1TB. Cheapest alternative I could find is around the $400 mark, but at a higher speed too (3500/3000MB/s).

    great screen

    fan noise isn't that bad when gaming especially when you have volume up at a fair level. Those that wear head phones well its almost irrelevant.

                @yellowfever: Its located in the top left corner of the keyboard.

                hmm, i'm still trying to figure it out. But from what i can tell, It forces the CPU @ boost of 4.5Ghz and spins up all the fans. It brings the whole system temp down.

                You can turn it on or off any time, during gaming or benchmarking.

                I'm not sure if it bumps up the GPU specs though as i didn't see any GPU specs change that i could see, but dont quote me yet… i'll play with it some more.

                  also the fan kicked in after 30min usage, just web browsing & Spotify on. Becoming rather noisy. I have the lid closed, and laptop connected to an external monitor.

                    @yellowfever: change the profile to Quiet if you are doing just basic office applications, this will reduce the noise. Performance will suffer slightly and temp will increase, but you will get peace and quiet and you wont notice any different.

      I had the same sort of 2/9 to 8/9 dates and that it had been shipped. Then yesterday the estimated delivery was bumped to 8/8 to 10/8 even though it was the 11/10. Then today (Wednesday) it gave me the startrack tracking and delivery should be tomorrow (Thursday). I ordered on the 28/7.

      Obviously when you ordered hasn't got anything to do with when you get it. I ordered the previous day (29/7) and my order window through Dell tracker says 3/9 to 6/9 and i have no shipping confirmation yet.

      But the eBay window had my order delivered between 13/8 and 21/8.

      Hoping like others to randomly get an update its onboard for delivery. Although no one will be home to get it anyway.

        Wow! Dell lottery ? Is your order number smaller than the one above?

        • mxlegend99 on 13/08/2020 - 15:48

          Well the dell order number is higher than the above one. So for some reason placing the order with eBay earlier didn't put meat the same point in the queue once Dell had the orders.

          Still holding out hope it arrives before the 21st… But my luck it wouldn't be.

            @mxlegend99: Yeah same, I was about order #140 or so on eBay and my Dell order# is after the above one too.

            • mxlegend99 on 13/08/2020 - 17:12

              @Dipaty: Must be random somehow then. I feel better knowing i wasnt somehow just skipped. I swear thats my luck 90% of the time.

                @mxlegend99: Don't worry, I was in the first 10 orders and I still haven't received mine either.

                Sad times.

                    @Gifwonder: From browsing forums, I think it means it's on a boat heading to Australia. I reckon we have a decent wait ahead of us.
