Also, I would like to note the following point.
I don’t quite understand the author, what’s the point of taking a rather budgetary and, of course, mediocre laptop for some points, and then changing the memory in it, setting sams 970, and, later, haemorrhaging with replacing the matrix by 120Hz?

I mean, let’s say MSI GE73, it costs 125k.
i7-8750H
16Gb
128ssd 1tb hdd
1070 8gb (not mq)
120Hz is an excellent matrix, albeit TN, but there srgb 99% and argb 70+, in general, in order.

As a result, we get a real gaming laptop, with excellent filling, gorgeous clave, cooling, etc.

And you, for example, have already spent 71+ 40 memory / SSD on Dell, i.e. in total, already over 110, but this is still the same budget Dell. So I myself am sitting and thinking, buying memory, delivering ssd standards, changing the matrix ... or throwing it to someone he suits as it is and buy GE73, which is 70% faster in games)

Dell g3 is the most budget gaming laptop on a fresh processor and 1060mq, only $ 899. In fact, this is a set of compromises for those who do not have money for a better laptop. Still say that this is not so?

Over the past month, every day for 5-7 hours I studied all the laptops that interest me in the market, traveled around 10 stores and twisted all these laptops in my hands. Therefore, I understand what I'm talking about, using the example of the same 7577 and a bunch of different Dell models from very budget to XPS.

Well, you understand what exactly this is all about, if I compare it with an even more gaming laptop?)
It goes without saying for 50-60 thousand that the whole market is littered with, they can not be compared with G3, but basically just for the filling. And for me, not only the filling is important, but in particular the quality of materials, assembly, screen, keyboard and touch. I still don’t know how I will react to G3, after the poppy.

Of course 900 at a discount, so everyone who wanted and took at this discount. And then there was a discount on G7 in the same conf that G3 only ssd 256 for $ 949.

That's the whole point that it’s never better there than MSI, but at a price it will come out even more expensive than MSI. hello duty immediately. I've already considered a lot of things to replace the G3, if you do not like it. This is the XPS15 (I would be fine with a principle of 1050), and the GS65, 73, GE73, and Razer Blade 15. Although I don’t really need all this, I just took g3 out of curiosity and that’s all)

this is not true. It is not price that determines budgeting, is it? The budget gaming laptop is i5, 8gb and 1050 (not even ti). And the g3 line, except for 17 "is generally unclear why it is needed.
“I would have been satisfied with the principle of 1050,” actually I am talking about the same thing.

Everyone has a different concept of budgeting, maybe for you or for someone else G3 is the ultimate dream, for me it is a budget laptop. Once again I say I watched everything that can be bought from us, on the Amazon, in Europe. There is nothing more budgetary with adequate characteristics. This is the most budget laptop, at least somehow similar to a laptop.

You do not seem to understand what it is about. I'm not talking about the fact that the filling of the G3 is budgetary and not at all, I'm talking about the fact that the laptop itself is budgetary. It doesn’t matter what the one is for 750, what the maximum speed is for 1200, the case, the screen, the keyboard, the touchpad, the materials and the assembly are all the same - the most budgetary.

That is why the market is such an abundance of laptops, to each his own. For example, I don’t understand 4k at all on 15 "screens.
In general, I described my selection criteria for a laptop above, but let's summarize again.
Since this is, first of all, my working tool, for me, besides high processor performance, I need high performance of the disk subsystem and the amount of memory (I did not have enough 16 GB on the previous laptop).
At the same time, a laptop for me should fulfill the functions of a mobile device: not to be a stationary replacement for a computer, and therefore to be lightweight, because I carry it on myself; have a large enough screen, because I will not connect monitors or televisions to it; be with a convenient keyboard for typing; (optional) do not shout that this is a gaming laptop.
Unfortunately, there are few such devices, the closest analogues are gaming laptops, some of which are unreasonably expensive. Dell generally does not have powerful laptops with a 17 "screen, and the G3 is also displayed in the business line of their store :)

I wanted Alienware for a long time, but the weight confused me in the first place, again, the look and I would have to give the extra 15k to customs for exceeding the limit (this, for a second, 512 GB nvme ssd for cost).
MSI almost immediately went into the woods when I worked on their keyboard for a couple of days: combined PgUp / Home, PgDown / End with ScrollLock and Pause / Break - this is the idea of ​​some idiot. The lack of Win on the left is generally unusual. It’s also unimportant and subjective, but I don’t like the appearance of the GE line at all.

Regarding the purchase of SSD and memory, to be honest, I do not understand the essence of the problem: nvme ssd on MLC memory is an investment for years (my last SSD is 6 years old, also on MLC, by the way), and memory is a necessary measure for almost any laptop Whatever I choose. Avito solves problems with the implementation of original parts in a matter of hours, returning part of the money spent (this is to the question about 71 + 40). There is no need to change the screen, as for me there isn’t at all: the 1060MQ is unlikely to give you 120 fps in serious games, I considered this optionally if there are serious flashes, broken pixels or a completely disgusting matrix (I don’t do color work). In general, “hemorrhoids with matrix replacement” is generally beyond the truth, everything is solved in 4 minutes, it’s easier than removing the bottom cover. To put the same matrix with MSI is a question of 6k rubles, if it does.

If a laptop is needed ONLY for games, I suggest that you don’t look towards thin laptops at all, due to the defectiveness of their cooling system. This applies to Dell, and MSI, and Asus. One way or another, they will throttle.

For me, gs73 would suit you perfectly for your tasks), but since the keyboard didn’t go ... I’m just not so demanding in terms of layout)
By crap with the replacement of the matrix ... First, you need to select it, then find it, then buy / pick it up, then put it in, and also merge the old one) I meant this, not the installation process itself. And 120Hz is the most for 1070 and above) at 1060 it makes no sense, I agree.

Regarding the quality of the screen itself in g3, I did not fully understand you, is it not bad or just "thanks for working"?)

The gs73 is 7700HQ and costs under $ 2k. It is not clear that I will win. I like the gs65, but there is no 17 "model like the gs75 yet.

Yes, the usual IPS 6-bit matrix. I have no complaints about her. Slightly tepid from the box, as for me, removed a little red in the calibration. I use at 70% brightness. There are claims to scaling in UWP applications, but this is already Melkomyagky.

No, it’s apparently you’re not yet in the topic) I already looked in advance at 30 pin matrices with a connector on the left and found nothing interesting even on foreign sites ... there is a connector on the right or 40 pins (like MSI, if I’m not mistaken )
There is no problem only if you take the 15 "G3 / G5 / G7 there everyone puts the same matrix and everyone is happy with it. Well, okay, today / tomorrow I will get it and look at this" miracle ", it sounds horrific to me)

PS actually GS73 is released on i7-8750H =)



Rep: (22)
* Nistelrooy ,
Of course, I did not shoot the matrix, but judging by the Google images on all LP173WF4, there is a 30-pin connector in exactly the same place as on the n173hhe-g32. Apparently, I really do not know something else.

And the truth is GS73VR with 8750h, prices in Russia from 115k for a complete set without ssd. On Amazon, only a $ 2k bundle. Maybe someone will do.

Now tell us how you will clamp a 40pin matrix (N173HHE-G32) on a 30pin connector (g3)? There are of course adapters, but this is still a crutch, there may be different protocols

PS my G3 arrived, I’ll take it today, tomorrow I will write off my first impressions

You investigated the question: there are 30 pin and 40 pin versions, I will take30 pin version, in the end, you can probably take a 40-pin cable from G7 or something like that if all the lines on the motherboard are separated (on the MSI forum they like to hunt for this).
You can also take the 30-pin version of the N173HCE-G32, or B173HAN01.4.
In general, 40 pin eDP from 30 pin eDP differ only in the number of lines, this is the same Display Port protocol (plus power).
Let's finish the theorist at least until someone writes about the (un) successful replacement.
