Thanks for the previews! I am a little surprised to see the Dell Inspiron 15 7000 (7577) go unmentioned. Wirecutter recommends it https://thewirecutter.com/reviews/the-best-budget-... -- 15.6 in ", GTX 1060 Max-Q. Did I overlook this in the review?A5 - Wednesday, April 4, 2018 - link
That model is being replaced by the G3/G5/G7 laptops on page 5. They want to separate it from the rest of the Inspiron 7000 line because it isn't really the same focus.Gunbuster - Tuesday, April 3, 2018 - link
In true Dell fashion they advertise a bunch of options like 6 different screens but have exactly one choice available at launch.Novaguy - Tuesday, April 3, 2018 - link
The lack of a Ryzen alternative for those AMD AIOs is incredibly dissappointing....GTRagnarok - Tuesday, April 3, 2018 - link
I believe the G5 and G7 come with 15" displays only, not 17".Joe Shields - Tuesday, April 3, 2018 - link
Correct.. and updated.prophet001 - Tuesday, April 3, 2018 - link
Had 3 AW 17R4s with horrible thermals. Overheated the power delivery on all of them and caused graphics stuttering.Do not buy one of those computers.

the 9570 looks amazinglazarpandar - Tuesday, April 3, 2018 - link
not that I have any need for all that power anymore....willis936 - Tuesday, April 3, 2018 - link
It does. I have an xps 13 9343 and just this past week i put thermal pads on it and undervolted by 100 mV. The long term load temperature is down 15C. It would be nice if they just did this kind of thermal management themselves. They’re saving, what, five bucks on the BOM by not including thermal pads? Another five bucks and they could do a copper sheet. I’m mostly interested in seeing if they’ve started doing either of those things.
