People who constantly bitch about this not having a pure 1660ti fail to post that there is no laptop that offers that card for this low price currently. You have to shell out around 200 more to get a 1660ti which is like paying minimum 25% - 30% more to get a marginal 10% boost.

Reset Your PC [howtogeek.com] feature
Install Drivers [dell.com]
Once booted up, I run 'check updates' and let it do its thing first, reboot as necessary, and continue the system updates till they are all finished. That will take care of many of your main drivers. Then you can head over to that drivers page to update any remaining ones that aren't updated. I mentioned earlier that there is a new bios as of August 17th, so you'll most likely need to update that. I did a manual install of Nvidia drivers straight from their site, choosing DHC instead of Standard option.
It was getting late, so I didn't check to see if any of my other drivers needed updated manually from the Dell driver page. I'll check later this evening.
The first part says if you do that, it'll restore it to 'factory default', which comes with all the pre-installed junk. Also, when you do that, you will still have all the separate partitions that you don't need (as mentioned earlier Dell had a 15GB partition for backup or something).
Per the article:
"The "Reset this PC" feature resets your PC to its factory default settings. If you installed Windows yourself, that means you'll have a clean Windows system. But you probably didn't install Windows yourself. Like most people, you probably purchased a PC that came with Windows, plus some extra bloatware.
In that case, resetting your PC will reset it to the way you got it from the factory–which includes all the software the manufacturer originally installed on your PC. From annoying bloatware to useful software drivers, it will all come back. You'll have to either live with that junk or spend time uninstalling it."
Disregard what I said. I skimmed the article and didn't read the bit about using 'fresh start'. It looks like you can use the "Fresh Start" option, though I'm still uncertain that this would remove all the other partitions present on the drive.

Next step: Ask chat to see if they sell replacement 144hz panels since that is an option for the 3590.
Update #2: Called Dell and asked if they could sell me a 144hz panel. They checked and said that it was not possible, so too bad there.
With that said, I was able to pull this information from the configuration of my laptop:
HNRXV : MOD,LCD,15.6FHD,IPS,AUO,3590
25H3D
ASSEMBLY, CABLE, EDP, 60HZ, 3590
1
K1MP9
LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY, 15.6FHD, IN PLANE SWITCHING, AG, AU OPTRONICS CORP
1
XNHVP
INFORMATION, SWSI, LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY, 15.6, NON-TCH
If anyone knows anyone that purchased the higher 144hz end, maybe it would be possible to get the specific 5 character parts associated with the 144hz panel and ask Dell to manually lookup that part? Not sure that will work, though I am not seeing much from these specs that would allow me to easily cross reference a compatible panel from eBay/Amazon.
Thoughts?
Update #3: I found a thread on a forum surrounding the possible upgrade to 144hz. I will be posting and following intently on any development:

On a side not the display that shipped with my Dell supports HDR so you can enable that and watch some Youtube videos in HDR. Haha probably the lowest spec'd HDR imaginable but it actually works. Pretty cool.

Panel: 390-BEON / GO0527R
EDP Cable: 450-AAHV
Doesn't match with what it shows on the Dell configuration page:
Panel: 25H3D
EDP Cable: K1MP9
Do whatever you would like with that information, though I don't think I was able to find much on the part numbers they gave.
Let us know if you find any further information in your research!
Keeping temperatures down will help keep your CPU/GPU from throttling due to excessive temperatures (90 degrees Celsius and higher), as well as extends battery life (some people gain 30+ minutes of on-time depending on the extent of the undervolting).
So how exactly do I do it?any tutorial? and is there a performance loss due to temperature decreasing?

ThrottleStop here:
https://www.techpowerup
Make sure you unzip/unpack ThrottleStop when you download it, and you're most likely going to need to go here: https://support.microso
Download vc_redist.x86.exe and vc_redist.x64.exe.
Watch the tutorial.
As far as I'm aware, no performance loss from undervolting the CPU. You will keep lowering the voltage in small increments until your laptop crashes. I lowered it in increments of 5mV until i hit -130mV and then just stopped there.
For games the current 8GB Ram (2 X 4GB dual channel) will work perfectly fine and the 16GB is just wasted unless you are doing heavy multitasking.
So adding a secondary internal drive first makes more sense and we will get a better value for the spend than the Ram upgrade (Free slot is already available inside to do this upgrade) .
I'm debating whether to go for a 1tb SSD (for $100) or a 2tb regular HDD for $60 or 70. Since this is a secondary drive my dilemma is whether to go for HDD (for more space) or go with 1TB SSD to get better faster times. HDD gives me space to accommodate more games in order to avoid frequent downloading and deleting due to space restrictions.
.
With Xbox Game Pass PC now available the size of those damn games are ranging from 50GB to 100GB (Especially the Gears of War 4 which itself consumes 100GB).
Decisions. Decisions. What are you guys choosing for a secondary drive?
