Review on Notebook DELL G7 17 7790 (1920x1080, Intel Core i5 2.4 GHz, RAM 8 GB, SSD 256 GB, HDD 1000 GB, GeForce GTX 1660 Ti, Win10 Home) by Siu Kth ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

I expected more from the purchase, but not the worst option.

With its pros. + Best price/performance ratio. (Chinese NO NAME brands are not taken into account) + Full set of ports, including Thunderbolt and a full SD card reader. + Cool BIOS with lots of settings. Different cons: - Lights on the screen. All specimens have approximately the same picture: bright dotted light from above and extensive light from below. (see photo) - Keyboard like a cheap office laptop: * Key travel is short (although the keystrokes feel good). * Arrows are very small. I thought I'd get used to it, but no. * No Break key. We'll have to come up with something for Punto Switcher. * No touchpad disable key. - Throttle squeak was present in all the specimens I studied. To remove it - go to BIOS, and in the Performance section, uncheck C-State. Or disable C1E via ThrottleStop. In this case, the battery will probably start to discharge a few percent faster.
