Octane V 17.3

[DonaldBeech]

I’ve ordered the Octane V 17.3.

But for the chassis there was only two option 1080p 144hz or a 4K option at 60hz

I went with 4k today I’ve only just seen the fact that the 4k screen doesn’t even have Gsync. So I’m extremely baffled. What kind of cheap and nasty 4k screen is this? The fact that A. It’s only 60hz and B. It doesn’t have Gsync

I’m hoping there’s a mistake somewhere.

There’s no mistake. Price wise it wouldn’t be possible to be higher than 60hz as those panels cost about 2.5k and don’t exist yet for laptops. I couldn’t say why it doesn’t have Gsync other than it’s not designed for gaming as the 1080 can’t push 4K at 60fps, it’s more for design work which doesn’t require Gsync.

The configurator clearly says no gsync so it's definitely not a mistake.

The screen model is listed as the AUO B173ZAN01.1 which doesn't support gsync, but apparently the AUO B173ZAN01.0 does. The AUO B173ZAN01.1 doesn't count as cheap and nasty tbf. There's a review of a laptop sporting this screen here:

Hmm thanks for the reply. Think I should have gone for the defiance qhd.

You can always cancel the build if it's before the building phase. Always pays to get advice before purchasing.

Be aware that the regular Defiance also offers a QHS screen and doesn't charge an extra £450 or so for a pointless i9.
