Display and graphics

The 15.6-inch Full HD IPS matte panel delivers a 1920 x 1080 resolution for clear visuals. A dedicated NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 with 6 GB GDDR5 video memory handles rendering duties. The screen uses In-plane Switching technology for consistent colour and viewing angles.

Ideal user and alternatives

This laptop suits gamers and multitaskers who want a 7th Gen Intel Core i7-7700HQ quad-core processor with 3.8 GHz Turbo Boost. The 16 GB DDR4 memory and combined 256 GB SSD plus 1 TB HDD provide responsive storage for large libraries. Buyers needing a newer CPU architecture or a higher refresh-rate display should consider other models.

Deciding specification

The GTX 1060 with 6 GB GDDR5 is the single component that determines whether this system meets a buyer's performance target. It defines the graphical ceiling for modern titles at 1080p resolution. If that GPU tier matches the intended workload, the rest of the specification supports it adequately.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 256GB SSD plus 1TB HDD version or look for a different capacity?

This model ships with a 256GB SSD for the operating system and a 1TB HDD for games and media, giving fast boot speeds and plenty of bulk storage in one chassis.

What does the 2.8 GHz quad-core i7 actually deliver in games and heavy workloads?

The 7th Gen Core i7-7700HQ runs at 2.8 GHz base and can boost to 3.8 GHz, so it keeps frame rates high in modern titles while handling background streams and voice chat without stutter.

Which display and GPU interface standards are used, and what do they limit in practice?

The 15.6-inch 1920 x 1080 IPS panel connects to a GTX 1060 with 6GB GDDR5 over the internal PCIe lane, capping external output at HDMI 1.4 bandwidth for 60 Hz at 1080p.
