    Dell G7 7790 in-depth review

    All make space for the new gaming big guy. It is called the Dell G7 17 7790 and as you already know if you read our dedicated article, it is basically the larger brother of G7 15 7590. Lately, 17-inch gaming laptops are getting thinner and lighter. However, this guy here is neither of them. Well... yes it is not a bulky Alienware, but it is nowhere near MSI GS75 Stealth. It is more of a direct enemy with the Legion Y740 (17") and ASUS ROG GL704, which we tested not a while ago.In order to be competitive in this market, there are two mandatory prerequisites - at least Intel Core i7-8750H and an RTX GPU.

You know what we mean - when you have the laptop in your hands and it is heavy and everything else, but when you see the stats or put it on a scale it is far slimmer than something like the Helios 500 for example. However, let's see if it is nearly as beautiful on the inside as its smaller cousin - the G5 15 5590.Check out all Dell G7 17 7790 prices and configurations in our Specs System or read more in our In-depth Review.1.

    Office Work

    Office Work should be used mostly by users who spend most of the time looking at pieces of text, tables or just surfing. This profile aims to deliver better distinctness and clarity by keeping a flat gamma curve (2.20), native color temperature and perceptually accurate colors.

    Design and Gaming

    This profile is aimed at designers who work with colors professionally, and for games and movies as well. Design and Gaming takes display panels to their limits, making them as accurate as possible in the sRGB IEC61966-2-1 standard for Web and HDTV, at white point D65.

    Health-Guard

    Health-Guard eliminates the harmful Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM) and reduces the negative Blue Light which affects our eyes and body. Since it’s custom tailored for every panel, it manages to keep the colors perceptually accurate. Health-Guard simulates paper so the pressure on the eyes is greatly reduced.
