    Thanks for the info. Seeing the internals, and especially the drive options, was a deciding factor for what to get my son. I wanted something with 2x 80mm slots, and this satisfies that.

    • @NSFWHarold
      @NSFWHarold Před 8 měsíci +1

      So status update on that. The G16-7620 that I purchased is slightly different than what you presented. On this one, the M2 slots are shifted slightly to the left, closer to the edge of the laptop. And instead of the top slot being populated with a short SSD, it is instead populated by the WiFi module (yours is on the lower right). The lower slot is populated with the 1TB SSD, and the lower right slot (where you have your wifi module) is a null slot. Meaning there are traces on the motherboard with solder points, but no actual connector. Instead, there is a rubbery spacer where the connector should be, which appears to just be serving as a stand-off. Overall, the architecture of the motherboard is slightly different than what your is, so I am guessing a different rev of the motherboard. Oh well. It is what it is. But fair warning for everyone else that might be thinking about one.

      Personally i dont think its worth it unless you avtually do some multitasking or need large storage. I just got the laptop and clean instals and set it up, speeds are great, the ssd is only 1,000 mb slower then the one recomended here, 5k vs 6k. And any speed difference w9nt be noticeable except the placebo effect. Im gonna save the money for drr5 upgrade in like 2 years after the tech advances. Oh and memory usage is around 4gb idle, up to 7-8gb when i was opening files and downloading multiple drivers suring setup while warching temos and usage info.

    Great video as always. I believe the RAM cap to 5200 is the 13th Gen mobile CPU and not Dell. Apparently, most of the Dell 13th Gen laptops would support 5200 DDR5 (i.e. XPS 15 and 17, Alienware, etc.) but some XPS owners have stated that early 2024 BIOS updates from Dell have knocked the RAM speed cap back down to 4800!! They may do the same with the G16 or it may just be the thinner XPS, so be careful not to waste money on 5600 Fury when you may be better off just upgrading with extra 4800 speed memory.

      Personally id say wait a year or 2 until ddr5 twch advances and lower end prices decrease. Depends what you need for memory though, when i was doing setup and intalling stuff and watching the temps and usage my menory got up to 8gb used, out of 16. Not ideal for multitasking alot

  • @miguelcontact3896
    @miguelcontact3896 Před 8 měsíci +2

    Thank you so much for this amazing video.
    First, is there some real gain to use ram more than the specification of dell, because probably the bus could be the main limitation? And also it means lower battery life, warmer computer and so often using fans and so more noise. Do you think it could reduce the reliabilitt of the machine?
    I need more ram but with these consideration I am not sure to go to more than 4800Mhz. And is there some significant improvement to do that for light room or music making for example?
    For ssd, it looks now the faster are evo90pro, so I think I ll go for them, I would like to go to raid 1 config but I am afraid to lose data if of both fails. Do you have any idea on how much raid 1 can sufer from lack of reliability?
    Thank you so much :)

    • @skie6282
      @skie6282 Před 7 měsíci +1

      Personally i dount the ram change did much. Right now, ddr is top of the line. 4.8k or 6k, its going to be insanely fast and nearly 0 difference. Now, wait 2 years and get new ddr5 at faster speeds and it will likely work alot better, usually new tech gets optimized and faster over years, even good ddr3 and most ddr4 were the same until more top of the line ddr4s came out. That being said, if you do stuff that is memory intensive like multitasking alot or streaming or video work, higher gb of ram will help.

      My suggestion is always to check it over visibly then once you have set up the laptop and updated it with windows update and alienware update run: cinebench r23 and 3dmark time spy. Use the over drive mode in command centre and record the results. Then check that against what other users get or if the same spec as me use my review 👍

    Does this computer can really support 64GB of ram + 2 x TB of SSD storage ?????
    Additionally, does the "up to 2 x 1TB" on the manufacturers' technical sheets a real technical limit, or can I still put a 2TB SSD (or more) instead of the 1TB? (for a Lenovo Legion and Asus Rog).
    Thank you!!

      It’s on the latest bios. Checked with dell and they said it’s not possible. The video suggests it’s possible. Would like to know how as just replacing the ram doesn’t do it. Something else must need to be done. Just not sure what. Couldn’t find any bios setting which allow you to change ram speed either so it’s a mystery and one I hope to solve in time.
