    Yes that is the difference the display size and the amount of SSD storage. I've also read in this forum somewhere that G3-571 has plastic fans but I am not sure about the 17.3inch model.

    It doesn't matter whether the fans are plastic or metal at least in my opinion.
    Always post the following characterisitcs of the device:
    -Model number
    -Part number(not required, but helpful)
    -CPU
    -GPU
    -Operating system

    Helios 300 and Nitro 5 users DO NOT update the BIOS to version 1.22 if you don't want the keyboard's backlight to turn off after 30 seconds even when the device is plugged in.

    Got any links to these models? Pretty sure the only difference is what you stated, storage and display size.
