I am satisfied, the product fully corresponds to the description.

Model G7 17 7790 / i7 9750H / RTX 2060 6 Gb / 1 TB +250 Gb SSD / 32 Gb RAM
I took for engineering programs: Autocad, Revit, LW 3D and graphics: Photoshop, LR, etc. It is very good for these purposes: scenes twist, Autocad flies. A powerful device, even with a rear power cord entry, given the case and the tilt of the display, it can be well brought closer to the wall on the table.
I don’t play games, there is no throttling in the render, so I didn’t undervolt, I just replaced the RAM with 32 GB and set the “Balanced” mode in Dell power. as a result, when working with 3D applications, it does not get very hot, it makes noise only on rendering, but moderately. I did not take measurements of the characteristics, I did not finish anything.
There is no fragility of the case, the lid sits tightly, it is convenient to open with one hand. As for the keyboard, as not for the player, there are no big comments, the mouse was hung on a whistle in the rear connector, which is convenient.
Except for the failure of the killer control center, the purchase is good, for me it completely closed the issue of mobile hardware. If you want big achievements, you can always connect an external. graphics card via Thunderbolt 3.

Pros

1. Good quality matte non-creaking case, strict design. 2. Convenient connectors. 3. Fast and quiet when not in games. 4. Good multitasking, many open applications are not a problem. 5. In my copy, there are almost no flashes, dead pixels are not noticeable, I did not specifically look for it. 6. Fast loading. 7. Compared to Zbook 2022, much more compact and light power supply, soft cord. 8 Thunderbolt 3 9. Embedded Dell EMC product identifier, which is checked for office. site. 10. Matte screen with tight thin bezels.

Cons

1. Noise on rendering in 3D programs and games. In my opinion, it is not critical, but others will notice. 2. Too many pre-installed proprietary software, a lot of unnecessary utilities in autorun, of which the useful Dell power manager. 3. After Windows ates, the Killer control center service crashes. It just stupidly stopped working. Dell support has new firewood, but for some reason the G7 7790 is not compatible. So far I've been careful not to reinstall the utility from the Killer support site. This is a software issue, not a hardware issue.
