What NIC manufacturer on the integrated GbE LAN in the new OMEN with i9 CPU

[RLI27]

Hi all

I'm wondering if anyone can tell me for sure what manufacturer is used for the integrated 10/100/1000 GbE LAN in the new OMEN with i9 CPU (for example the "15-dh0900nz / 6ZQ48EA#UUZ")? Is it still RealTek? There is nothing mentioned in the technical specifications at all. Please no "guess", just "knows" — thx!

Hi:

I know that the ethernet adapter is a Realtek chip.

I know that because there are only Realtek ethernet drivers listed on the support page.

Thank you, Paul - this makes sense.

How can I make sure the "15-dh0900nz" model I consider to buy, belongs to this "dh0000-serie"? Is there anywhere an explanation about the coding in the model/type description? something like:

dh=?

0900=i9?

nz=keyboard layout?

or something like this...

You're very welcome.

I am not aware of any info like that.

I do know that the last two alphabetical characters at the end are the location of where the model series is sold.

It could be a country or a region.  For example models that end in 'ne' are sold in the Middle East.  'nl' models are sold in Italy.

But your model definitely belongs to the 15-dh0000 model series.

Here is the service manual page for the model series.

Chapter 1, page 1 lists the range of model numbers in the series.

Perfect, that's it!
