You'd need to ask PCS for an official response, it's dependent on the actual panel being used.
Is it normally difficult to get a reliable response from PCS? I've never bought a system from them before, so have no prior experience of their support team, and I'm not having much luck with the team member who's responding to my query. He's trying to tell me the Recoil 17, a 17" laptop, uses the BoE NE160QDM-NZ1 V8.0, a 16" screen that does not have G-Sync. Whereas I have people on Reddit suggesting the PCS Support Team are a bit unreliable and they have had similar issues, and that the laptop actually uses the a 17" screen with model number BOE NE170QDM-NZ1, which does support G-Sync. I have asked the team member at PCS to check again but he seemed confused by this simple request.
I got my 17" Recoil a couple days ago and sent it over for an RMA today but I can confirm it has a g-sync sticker on the panel
Thanks so much for confirming that, it does suggest all PCS models will have a GSync panel going forwards.
Unfortunately not. I raised the point of that sticker with them and according to PCS even though it's shipped with that sticker customers should assume the laptop does NOT have G-Sync.
Why did you RMA the laptop, if you don't mind me asking?
there is a very loud whine coming from the back of the laptop i'm assuming the DC port or the GPU when playing graphically demanding games, surprisingly it doesnt whine during benchmarks i did so they couldn't have caught it during QC
That's understandable. Are you going for a different laptop to replace it or the same model?
Im assuming the same, if you want some more thoughts, the laptop is good in general but the speaker quality is abysmal. I was actually surprised at how bad it is, my tablet and phone actually have better dual speakers than the laptop.
Speakers will sound dreadful if windows isn't configured properly with the audio overlays, I notice you ordered without windows, just worth noting that.
