Edit: See description of G7:

Spoiler

See what your game is capable of with the latest, powerhouse NVIDIA GeForce® graphics and up to 16GB GDDR5 dedicated memory. NVIDIA GeForce® RTX delivers real-time ray tracing, artificial intelligence, and programmable shading for the ultimate laptop gaming experience, powered by the new NVIDIA Turing GPU architecture and the revolutionary RTX platform. Fierce, flicker-free visuals come alive with optional 144Hz and G-sync displays.* Plus viewing all of the action on an FHD display with a three-sided, narrow bezel lets you get deeper into the mission.

Finally 144Hz thin bezel and optional GSYNC. Also Turing GPUs

 

Edit 2: G5 has optional OLED UHD display? Wow

    OwO.

     

    Those designs look so much more sexy. I hope this doesn't mean the price will skyrocket.

    Kinda remind me of Alienware design...4 exhaust vents, ports at the back

    @GeneXiS_X i'm so confused. Does this mean we'll see a 16GB GDDR5 RTX 2060?

  4. genexis_x

    genexis_x

    Maybe 2080MQ just like Legion Y740 17

  5. AlTech

    AlTech

    @GeneXiS_X But why GDDR5 and why 16GB?

  6. AlTech

    AlTech

    Oh wow. It looks like G5 goes up to 8GB.

    Hmm nice catch. 16GB probably for 2080MQ but I don't know why GDDR5. Maybe a typo

     

    They aren't even available yet so we'll see. But one thing for sure is it can be easily recommended now due to more display options including 144Hz and lighter+slimmer chassis.

    If I had to make a guess, I'd say that the G5 is gonna use GTX 1070 MQ or GTX 1080MQ (no mention of RTX or Turing anywhere on the G5 page)

  9. genexis_x

    genexis_x

    Agree, the lack of mention about Turing makes G5 'suspicious'

     

    Glad to see 'old' budget/mid range models comes with higher end GPUs (eg Legion Y740), hope there is improvement in cooling solution

    @D13H4RD give some thoughts?

    These look pretty. However, I hope these (especially the G7) don’t come at the cost of its build quality, which has always been one of its strengths.

     

    IMO, given the historic positioning of the Dell GX line (formerly Inspiron Gaming), I would assume that the G7 would have the GeForce RTX 2060MQ and probably nothing higher.

  12. D13H4RD

    I would personally be happy with the 2060MQ/2060. It’s the most improved GPU over its predecessor by far out of the RTX Max-Q lineup (up to 50% over the GTX 1060, presumably the non-MQ 6GB model). Coupled with these laptops usually only having 144Hz 1080p displays, that combination of GPU and display should be easy to drive in many titles, and especially wallets.

     

    The 6GB 1060 doesn’t seem to have that many issues for 1080p60 in today’s titles at high settings, and especially over that in some older titles or better optimized current titles. That “up to 50%” improvement metric puts it right between the 1070 and 1080, both of which are known to be beefy in laptop applications.

    @D13H4RD they remained the solid construction, see the description page

    Interesting enough, G7 has GPU option up to 16GB VRAM, which might be 2080MQ

  14. D13H4RD

    D13H4RD

    Probably a typo. It would conflict with their Alienware lineup.

  15. genexis_x

    genexis_x

    Hmm makes sense

  16. genexis_x

    genexis_x

    Confirmed: G5 and G7 will come with GPU up to 2080MQ. G7 has 4 zone RGB backlit keyboard too
