          Important amendment

          Umm.. I think I screwed up (I'll admit it). I was reading the manual and the Youtube videos on the "G7 17 2020" model and only noticed it was the G7-7790 one with the classical dual hinges.

          https://youtu.be/NbVasGTT1oM?t=83
          Manual:
          https://topics-cdn.dell.com/pdf/g-series-17-7790-laptop_setu…
          Both shows a distinct drive bay

          The model in this deal is newer than this.. it is the G7-7700 (Don't ask me why the hell they used a lower number but this one is the right own with the single middle hinge:
          https://www.dell.com/support/home/en-au/product-support/prod…

          Manual:
          https://topics-cdn.dell.com/pdf/g-series-17-7700-laptop_setu…

          Quoting:
          Your Dell G7 7700 supports various storage configurations, depending on the computer configuration ordered.
          If your computer is shipped with NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650Ti graphics card, it has one of the following storage options:
          ○One 2.5-inch hard drive (for computers shipped with 3-cell, 56 WHr battery)
          ○One 2.5-inch hard drive and one Intel Optane Memory M10 (for computers shipped with 3-cell, 56 WHr battery)
          ○One M.2 2230 or M.2 2280 solid-state drive (for computers shipped with 3-cell, 56 WHr or 6-cell, 97 WHr battery)

          NOTE: The solid-state drive is secured to the system board by a solid-state drive bracket that is specific to theform factor of the solid-state drive. If you are replacing a solid-state drive, ensure that the new solid-state drivehas the same form factor. For example, replace an M.2 2280 solid-state drive with an M.2 2280 solid-state drive.

          If your computer is shipped with NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660Ti, RTX 2060, RTX 2070, or RTX 2070 Super graphics card, it has one ofthe following storage options:
          ○Up to two M.2 2230 solid-state drives
          ○Up to two M.2 2280 solid-state drives
          ○One M.2 2230 solid-state drive and one M.2 2280 solid-state drive

          ARGH.. Bloody Dell model numbers.. I've already pulled the trigger as well.. Oh well.. I need to pay a bit more for a 2TB M.2 then.. :(

          • bypeng on 03/08/2020 - 20:19

            @bchliu: Thanks for the info. I am also thinking about adding a 2nd M.2 SSD. I think this G7 has nothing in the 2nd M.2 Slot. Some people online say we have to provide our own bracket for the 2nd M.2 SSD? What is your understanding on this?

            • bchliu on 03/08/2020 - 21:01
              +1

              @bypeng: If you download the Service Manual as per my link and go to Pg 25, you will find the instructions on how to change out the SSD slots. The diagram does show both slots available along with the brackets. The diagram does show the lower wattage model with the smaller battery which DOES require a separate bracket for the 2.5" drive and a ribbon cable to attach the SATA to on the motherboard. I think should be safe to put in the 2nd SSD in this laptop since it does say up to two M.2.2280s in the links.

              I'm more curious to know what is the original SSD that it comes with more than anything - Tempted to get a 2TB NVME to replace it and then get another 2TB SATA M2 later on as the secondary drive.

              • bypeng on 03/08/2020 - 21:44

                @bchliu: I did read the manual. But all the section about the SSD all say “ This procedure applies only to computers shipped with an M.2 2230 solid-state drive installed in the SSD1( or 2) slot.” Since for us the slot 2 will be empty, that why I ask about the brackets. Guess we can only find out after we get it.

                • bchliu on 03/08/2020 - 21:51
                  +1

                  @bypeng: Nah.. pretty confident the 2nd bracket is there along with the heat spreader / covering by the looks of the diagrams. Considering they are advertising "up to two M.2 SSDs supported", it should be fine.

                  What would be interesting is if we can retrofit the unit with a smaller battery and fit the 2.5" Bracket back in at the cost of less battery time? Maybe might not work when the 2070 is sucking full power with the CPU?

              • bypeng on 03/08/2020 - 21:50

                @bchliu: I think it doesn’t matter which SSD comes with the machine, the bracket is universal for both 2230 and 2280.

                • bchliu on 03/08/2020 - 21:55
                  +1

                  @bypeng: Page 30 of the Service manual shows how to move the bracket from 2230 to 2280. I believe the 2230 is in reference to Intel Optane installed on some lower models that have 2.5" Mechanical HDDs in them. There's other pics of a smaller 2230 being removed in these sections and that's what it is.

    To be honest, the laptop 2070 really won't be worth it. The power limitations hurt the performance of the chips. Also, at 17 inches that not portable at all. Finally, AMD's 4000 series invalidates Intel's entire lineup so I personally wouldn't get this laptop.

  • dan-ozbargain on 28/07/2020 - 14:39

    Hi there,

    I'm just giving a heads up that I recently bought the G5 SE and had nothing but issues so returning it.
    It may not be the case with this lappy as it is not the same specs, but nevertheless worth giving a heads up.
    Given its not the AMD build that I have you'd hope that similar issues would not show.

    • lzwdavid on 28/07/2020 - 14:57

      May I ask what was the issues with G5 Se had? I was planning to buy but missed.

    • shellshocked on 28/07/2020 - 16:48
      +3

      I have a Dell G5 SE with the AMD Ryzen 4800h and 5600m. I don't have any issues with it.

      *Just made sure that BIOS was up to date via the "Dell Update" tool.
      * It originally came with Freesync disabled, but I just downloaded the latest Radeon G5 SE Driver from the AMD website to enable it:

      https://www.amd.com/en/support/kb/release-notes/rn-rad-win-d…

      *Use Display Driver Uninstaller to clean out the previous drivers and install the new ones fresh.

      I have tested all the ports without problems. I have also connected external monitors via HDMI and Display Port to benchmark and play games, with 3DMark Time Spy/Fire strike and Overwatch without issues.

      Also tested the battery with PCMark10, set to Modern Office. I get exactly 6hrs out of it with WiFi enabled and set to best battery life. It's provided with a 51wh battery but can be upgraded to 68wh.

      I did noticed that service manual for G5 SE 5500 does seem to show the Intel version, in terms of internals, rather than the AMD version and is different.

      It does get warm, like the Intel based gaming laptops I have had before, but I just reduce that by using a tool called Ryzen Controller

      • dan-ozbargain on 29/07/2020 - 09:26

        Hey there,

        I can confirm that I had over 30 shutdowns in the space of a week and I did the same as what you did.
        I don't think it was every laptop that had something wrong with it, but I definitely did.
        I also had to do a hard reset (wipe everything and restore) at one point due to a driver upgrade.
        Again; I'm returning the laptop today and am disappointed (although if it had worked, obviously would have been happy with it as very powerful for its price)

        • shellshocked on 30/07/2020 - 22:35

          Forgot to add to my previous post. There is also a registry hack from this Asus G14 review which works on the Dell G5 SE to help lower temperatures.

          https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6oS8kbG-oZU&feature=youtu.be

          It's around the 4:42 min mark. After you enable the registry hack, you will have "Processor performance boost mode" option under the power plan by going to "Change advanced power settings". Setting it to "Efficient Aggressive" helps lower temps a lot whilst gaming, with minimal effect. If you just need more CPU grunt set it to "Aggressive".

          • dan-ozbargain on 31/07/2020 - 09:57

            @shellshocked: Thanks mate,

            I think the trouble was that it wasn't even getting hot; it was just shutting down! Not on anything too intense gaming wise either.
            Either way Dell have refunded me and I have bought a desktop instead to just avoid these laptop form issues

      The G7 is definetely better with a newer 10th Gen processor…

      • [Deactivated] on 28/07/2020 - 18:54

        There's minimal difference between 9th and 10th, it's more or less just a marketing rebrand. And it's working apparently.

    • RobBoss on 28/07/2020 - 15:31
      +2

      Agree, and the Alienware comes with a 2070 max q variant which wouldn’t be as good as the G7’s 2070 (mobile) variant (depending on the wattage as well). And it comes with the 10th Gen i7. Here’s a good website to compare specs.

        1) that is a terrible website to compare specs. The 9th and 10th gen are functionally equivalent. Especially when you're using sustained loads like gaming

      • RobBoss on 28/07/2020 - 15:46
        +1

        I get your point but because 3070 is set for a release soon? And I’m also waiting for the wave of AMD gaming laptops to come, done with the Intel 14nm (no matter how many pluses they add) process. Oh and being the first RTX cards, FPS really takes a hit with RTX on… yeah so I have my reasons to wait.

        • gsxr600rr on 29/07/2020 - 08:56

          Look its ok if 3070 is a huge step from 2070. Certainly dont if its like what intel does with their chips from 9th to 10th gen. 10th gen is virtually just a rebrand.

          Also think if the processor / gpu / battery life technology balance is good enough to provide semi decent battery life for a more powerful GPU.

          Until Ryzen brought 7nm chips, the cap on battery life was relatively low when coupled with more power drawing gfx cards.

          Personally something like a 1660ti and Ryzen 4800h, should suit most purposes for the near future.

          If you need something more powerful - probably almost looking at laptops that are nearly desktops or very expensive 4/5k laptops - if you can afford it, great.

          +7

          Yes, the laptop is good, very light for a gaming laptop and thinner than the previous generation.
          144Hz is so smooth, even using it for web surfing. TouchPad is actually glass, not plastic. Also the RGB lightning, make it look so premium.
          Laptop can get fairly hot when gaming, between 92-97C. Build quality is good. For a 17" it's not much bigger then most 15" laptop.
          the RXT 2070 Mobile is a beast, I measure the wattage it's showing around 110w, so it's definitely Non Max Q.
          For this price, it's a steal, everyone who purchases it for this price will be extremely happy.
