You're saying in general, but it isn't good for everybody. This muscle under the hood with this cooling, if you can call it cooling, is only good for a certain purpose. In most cases, however, this machine will throttle. Can't help it. The i7 option is better for most users.
I have bought an i7 16gb ram version of this for my son and I loved it when testing its performance. It was annoyingly noisy on first few boot ups but once all the windows updates were finished it ran as quiet as a mouse. I undervolted the cpu by 125mV and it was perfectly stable. When playing Witcher 3 with high settings at 1080p the cpu was in 60s and gpu also in 60s, the fans could not be heard over the 40% volume speakers (which are also not too bad). I was getting around 80fps which is a waste with the 60hz on the 4K display, never had a maxQ gpu before but I now know I can limit fps in the nvidea control panel to help reduce power usage. It really does run cool and quiet. Although this can game very well it is not a gaming laptop like the Dell G7 or other similarly large laptops, try sticking one of those in a bag and carrying it around and using it all day long. If you want to compare this to a similarly sized MSI GS65, Gigabyte Aero or Razer then fair enough they are valid comparisons. What you will discover is that those 3 are substantially more expensive than a comparable XPS 15 with i7, you are paying a lot extra for the 1060 or 1070 that you will get. If you want the extra graphical power then those laptops may suit your needs better so go for those. What you get with the XPS 15 is a great all around package. Superb performance, great build quality and looks , terrific keyboard and trackpad, good selection of ports , great battery life and the option of a long term warranty. I spent months thinking about what to get for my son and I am happy I went this route.
Lee Greenway Hello, I have a question for you. I am thinking of buying this computer with an i7, 16 GB of RAM, 1050 Ti and 1080 display for the college and here in Spain the price is 1800€. Also mi other idea is the Huawei Matebook X Pro i7, 16 GB of RAM, MX 150, and 3k touch display for 1900€. The thing is that I believe that maybe the XPS 15 is a bit bigger, but the XPS 13 is very small and poor specifications. The Huawei has a 13.9 display while the XPS 15 15.6. And also in terms of quality in general how is it? Thanks so much.
I have never handled the Huawei so I cannot really advice you on its merits, it does look to be a very nice laptop. The Dell is surprisingly heavy and feels very solid when you pick it up, the Huawei will be a fair bit lighter and also has very thin bezels for a compact package. The main difference between these 2 laptops is the gpu performance, the MX150 is only for casual gaming with modern games on mostly low settings. This low level of graphics power made the Huawei not suitable for my sons needs. the 1050Ti can play demanding games @1080p on high settings with good fps and has the performance I was aiming for. I personally went with the Dell and the laptop I received worked perfectly so I am very happy with its quality and performance. I would say to make sure the version you are looking at has the 97WHr battery, it is a must have in my opinion and would give you incredible battery life with a 1080p screen. The Dell is a more powerful laptop and is cheaper, I do not see you being disappointed by its quality if you buy one. Also the Huawei is USB-C only , no USB A ports , No HDMI and no card reader. Not sure if that's important to you but the Dell has a good selection of ports. Everyone has different needs, if you need a smaller lighter laptop and do not need the extra performance of the 6 core cpu and 1050ti then the Huawei seems to be a very nice laptop. P.s. I do not work for Dell but if someone wants to offer me a job I will consider it.
Lee Greenway holy Moly, thnx . Finally someone that maybe convinced me. Little story : Im working on the ship . So Im long way at home . And now with the airports etc . Im looking for a laptop. I was thinking a lot about prices, if I want really good fps or not. Batterij life , weight . So I was thinking also about Dell xps , Dell g5 , MSI gs65. Dell g5 i dont like the Lookout but by comparrison is the best buy inside . You have also mi gaming laptop but that i dont know with the shopping etc ... The. MSI g65 for 2100 you got GTX 1060 it is better with circa 30 % all around then 1050 ti , but we are talking about if 1050ti at GTA v is 60-70 fps then 1060 is 80-90 or more . And i don't Care about od i'm playing at even 44 fps. So I guess Dell XPS 15 1050 ti is to go. Look good, batterij life great , weight like a feather, can game . If I may Ask ? Can you upgrade ram easy ? Again thnx
If you search on RUclips for Western Gents United you will be able to watch a full set of videos on the new XPS 15. He shows actual gameplay with the fps and temps on screen and his vids are very good. He has just reviewed the new G5 so you can see the difference that makes in settings and fps and whether a 1060 is worth it for you. He also has a video showing how to upgrade the ram , it is not difficult but you do need buy very specific ram if you want to upgrade. My advice is to watch his videos and also Tom's review when it comes out. The only point I would add is that the XPS 15 is not very light, certainly not the weight of a feather. For its small size it is surprisingly heavy and feels very solid
I have a few questions that i want you to answer in the review. 1)Do you have any coil whine? 2)What about throttling? 3)Any issue with screen flickering? 4)How does the killer 1535 wifi card works? 5)The key board is working fine? Please cover them too in your review. because i have read people complaining about these about the new 9570. So i want to know before ordering.
Like you Tom, last years XPS 15 is my work horse laptop and my wife’s for work. It’s a great bit of kit which performs incredibly well. I’m incredibly jealous that you have the new i9 version making an awesome machine even more so. PS loved the opening description of it. Sounded like you were describing and Aaron Martin. 👍🏽
aabidfaiyaz oh ok dude I get you now. It’s all personal preference. I love my XPS and it does good for me if you have the money then this i9 would be a beast.
I got this laptop after seeing your reviews but forgot to say thanks to you . From past 9months i am using this laptop n happy with the result Thank you
n00bie It probably could if they redesigned the chases a bit and completely redesigned the heat sync as the current heat sync is a garbage designed if it's the same like last years
4K screen: Be curious whether you think 4k is worth it. The 1050ti would not be able to handle the 4k display for gaming (not core use case I assume) but some would want to every so often. So, the degree to which it can drop back to 1080p, for games, without taking a hit would be a consideration. I9: It would be good to see some competition in the laptop space, not sure this core-i9 is as really as top end as the marketing is would have us all believe. Let's face it we've been stuck with dual core laptops for ever (for most people), and that's only changed recently. VFM: The 'is it worth it' and 'what else is there' are interesting considerations. Agree that even with a 3yo design, it's a good looking laptop.I don't own apple or have any interest in them but Science Studio did a good video recently on software optimisation for video editing for, on his low end apple laptop. While it's a very specific use case, it was a useful video.
true, + even if that wasa all the dell needed, I would prefer not to use up a type c port for charging in many charging situations, and instead use the non usbc charging cord and use usbc for other things, since there is only one port I believe.
If you are using it fully, then yes, 100W will not be enough. If you aren't using it intensively, then it should be fine. Even at full intensity, it should slow battery drain.
You can get a Type-C dock with USB-PD which can forward the 100W of power to the laptop while providing extra ports. An external GPU enclosure can also provide those watts which will probably be enough if you turn off the GTX 1050 Ti in the laptop.
Nice overview, but it still surprises me when "tech reviewers" on RUclips complain about not having USB-C charging on laptops with full fat Intel H-series CPU and dedicated GPUs, like don't you all know that USB-C can only deliver so much wattage to power Ultrabook CPUs and it's likes?
You should also check out the Matebook X Pro! The Verge called it the best laptop you can buy right now and I think we would love to see your opinion ☺️ (Edit: Turns out he already has reviewed it, so please promptly ignore this comment lol)
Still, remember the review. Bought the laptop after this very review in August. Was looking to get either macbook or windows based desktop. Like my DELL XPS laptop. Have had an issue with the battery, which overheated in my bag because the laptop did not go to sleep on the lid close. Bought an aftermarket replacement on amazon which did not work well (the laptop kept saying the battery is not original). Replaced with another aftermarket one, which also led the laptop to fail, returning both to amazon and got a genuine one, no problem with that. During battery replacement, I forgot to screw in one of the Philips screws, and the screen latch bracket, which is part of the back panel, failed a few months later. Could be related to the existing DELL XPS issue seen on the internet at the time, but bought a new bottom case on my own. The purchase was wrong - my original keyboard did not fit the housing because of a different Enter button. Decided to buy a new aftermarket keyboard which fitted. Along with the latch a screw bracket for the charging port also broke up, but I got an original replacement for a few bucks. At the end managed to screw everything on my own - battery, back housing, charging port, keyboard. Definitely repairable at a good rate. USB-C port used daily. And definitely still happy with the purchase. Thanks for the nice video.
I have recently bought the i7 16gb ram 512gb ssd version, and I have to say: it's just plain amazing! In fact, i'm typing this currently on the xps 15. There's only one major complaint I have: when gaming for 5 min, the laptop freezes so hard up to the point that I have to hold the power button for 10 seconds to just be able to do something. It doesn't matter what game it is, or how graphically intensive it is. Even Undertale makes the laptop crash after 5 min. Maybe it has something to do with the intel graphic drivers, maybe it's the thermals being too hot? I don't know what the problem is, but until it gets fixed, I wouldn't recommend this for gaming at all. For everything else however this is the perfect ultrabook.
The problem with windows laptops is that 99% looks like a toy to play games.. so I’m extremely happy that some companies tries to do something that looks more serious.
@The Bridge He's saying that Macbooks look more sophisticated and professional, like a work laptop rather than a personal computer. He's not completely wrong given the right environment. In universities where there's tons of students studying on their laptop, the most common littered around are Macbook Airs.
YoungGroup it charges 3900$ right now for its MBP15 with i9, 32 gigs of DDR4 RAM, 1 TB SSD, Radeon Pro 560X with 4 gigs of VRAM. This dell costs around 3300$. So you kinda pulled that 8000€ out of your ass.
Exactly, it even did not exist yet, and you put up your own price already. Which means pulled it out of your ass. Get over the fact that Apple is not that overpriced brand as it was before and all the memes from the past are no longer valid.
One word, ..... NICE Laptop and video. I had the new xps 13 (9370) for a few weeks and encountered a lot of issues with it and I just returned it back. I’d like to buy this one, ....
I've my had 9570 for over a year now and while it is a beast, yes, it sounds like a jet engine!! Even while nothing is running sometimes it'll just start howling for minutes at a time. not the best when you're a podcaster and you have to keep starting and stopping your recording :-(
We're lucky to have such high quality laptops available in the Windows world! I'm still rocking the XPS 9550 (i7, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD, 1080p screen). It was the most expensive laptop I've ever bought, but for the time being, it's still quite good enough for my purposes. I will squeeze out a few more years out of it. My guess, though, is that the 9580 or the 9590 will not have much of a CPU upgrade, since the jump to i9 is pretty substantial. That should make the 9570 a solid and inexpensive upgrade in a few years. But for someone who edits videos (not me), they may not be able to resist jumping into such a substantial CPU upgrade.
you might not have one on hand to do this but I would like to see a comparison video of the Dell XPS 1050 Ti Max Q to a laptop with a 1050 TI not Max Q, and a GTX 1050 TI desktop card. That would be an interesting look into the performance differences
Every xps 15 can have up to the 1050ti max q and no the US doesnt get full 1050ti either the xps would literally cook itself with the extra heat. best dell pulled off from the last gen was going from a gtx 1050 to a gtx 1050ti max q and who knows maybe the 2019 model will come with a revision to thermals to allow for up to full 1050tis or 1060max Qs
The carbon fiber getting dirty so easily would drive me crazy but other than that, I can see why people rate this laptop so highly. Looking forward to the full review.
Just because your phone uses usb-c and your laptop does too, does not mean your phone charger will have enough watts to adequately power and charge your computer. It may charge if your computer is turned off, but it will painfully slow. Phones simply don't have the watt requirements that a computer does. However, the usb-c is nice on a laptops for usb-c or thunderbolt 3 docks with power delivery. So one port can break out everything and still deliver power.
I almost bought one of these the other day but I learned it only came with a 1050ti which is a little subpar if your goal is gaming (which mine is). Giving it a 1060 should be the bare minimum. Side Note: I much prefer glossy screen apposed to matt. Wish more companies would give that option on more models instead of just 4K.
Nice preview Tom. Keep up the good work.Look forward to seeing your full review of this laptop. A bit disappointing that you've yet to share your full review of the Aero 15X with the 4k screen you acquired a while back. I'm still looking forward to it, as I'd like to know how the battery life is with the 4k screen. No other reviewer has covered that yet.Speaking of Computex, I'd also like to see the new Asus ZenBook Pro 15 which is coming with the same i9 CPU in this XPS. I'm trying to make a purchase decision between these 3 laptops (a 4th wildcard would be the new Razer Blade 15). Full reviews of all 4 of these, preferably with 4k screens, would be appreciated. Thanks!
Ahh can’t wait for your review! I’m so glad I waited for this. Now im waiting for MBP15 to upgrade and I’ll choose between the two. So far I’m leaning towards this machine.
Why does people on yt keep mentioning that they want to see something diffrent when talking about the outer design. I mean, the macbook pro hasent changed alot in its design or am I just an idiot?
I have 9360. I had it about 8 months and I've had it replaced it twice and fixed 3 times. Xps15, specs look great as well as the look. However, the ridiculousness of QC is beyond me. I hope they are doing better job with 9370
Borrow a HP Zbook studio g4 (or the soon to be released g5) from someone and compare the two for video editing. Would be very interested in the results.
Dell xps is the best laptop suitable for both gaming and professional work. I am currently using 9560 model n I love it. 9570 is little better but 9560 is still a great one though i guess.
I use an XPS 15 9560 now and if Dell doesn't fix that camera location, I won't be upgrading with a Dell anytime soon. I don't even use it that often, but when I do, it's annoying af.
I’d love to see Dell or Asus releasing XPS 17 or Zenbook Pro 17. Cause I want a 17-inch powerful laptop that doesn’t scream, “Look at me, I’m a gaming laptop!”. I think a 17-inch laptop made the way XPS 15 does would be light and small enough to sell well.
I’m in the process of choosing a new laptop. Was very interested in the XPS 15, until I read about the vast QA issues, overheating and Killer wifi problems. Looking at the new Razer Blade 15 now.
I found the Dell UK site didn't offer the model I wanted, the i7 only came with 8GB of memory and a 250GB Hard disk. On some of their european sites I found a number of different builds, one which included an i7, 16GB memory, 500GB SSD and 4K screen. You have to call Dell sales to unlock the other models, the model numbers go from CNX97001 to 07 I believe. I'd been waiting to invest in a laptop for a while and wanted either an XPS or a MacBook Pro, found XPS was just better for the price. Really enjoying the laptop.
I picked up 9560 for Christmas after asking you on Twitter. Honestly, I love this thing. I've done a few up grades of my own on it. (2TB 970 Evo m.2, thermal paste change out to thermal grizzly. Ram is next) But I have to admit the one thing I don't like about the 9560 is the 2 line thunderbolt port. That alone isn't enough for me to upgrade but is there a work around? Keep up the great videos! Waiting on that 4k 144hz HDR monitor!
Dell's notebooks are pretty nice. I got a very basic model just recently, a sub-$600 Inspiron with a Ryzen 5 2500U, and then I doubled the RAM and replaced its slow hard drive with a SATA SSD, and of course installed Linux on it, and it's great. Plenty fast, good wireless and Bluetooth capability, optical drive, 1080p display.. Probably wouldn't be all that great for doing heavy computing, but that's not what I use mine for. I like the keyboard, though, something Apple apparently can't get right anymore. :D Ditto the available interfaces on the sides.
I would be interested in your detailed review in the following: - 4K display vs. FHD display - how much it is better to work on it, reflection in real use, scaling of windows applications? - i9 vs i7 advantage: does it really perform the 10-25% advantage in real life use? Can the machine handle the CPU, or does it throttle back due to thermals? - can one add a 2nd SSD or HDD, if the battery is exchanged to the smaller one? Are the physical ports present for it?
People will just be like “meh” when using this on starbucks 😂. But some people will be like “wow” when seeing someone using lastyear, cheapest macbook. Yeah, it’s life. The most important thing, choose what we really need. If $700 laptop suits you best, then there’s no reason for going beyond 2000.
Most iAppleLaptop sufferers only use the thing for light browsing, listening to mass-marketed musac, and writing amateurish school reports. Any proper USD 700,- laptop would already be overkill. :)
That's really not true lol. Macbooks are a dime a dozen. Everyone has it wherever I see it. What's the wow factor really? It's the same shit. This actually looks so premium and different and is rare.
Warning!!! Do not let the app Dell Support upgrade the trackpad driver. Yes, the old drivers are terrible, but the new drivers hardly work at all and no fix for over a year now on XPS 15 trackpads. And besides much of the trackpad problems comes from the Windows operating system.
Agile KM I bought this laptop like 3 months ago but the battery is just crap ! If I play apex legends on it it only lasts for like 30-45 mins !! Do you play games ? Also it only gives me like 5-6 hours with just web browsing and RUclips ing. How’s yours ? Let me know please 🙏
Thank you for this. Haven't seen too many videos on the refresh yet, and I've been dying to make the purchase. Just pulled the trigger and got the i7 with full HD screen. It'll be a massive upgrade from my Dell with a second gen i5, especially for the adobe programs.
I sent a direct message to Huawei and asked them to hurry up with releasing the new Matebook Pro in UK - we need more competition in the laptop market here
I also have the Dell XPS 15 (9560) and yeah...its a beast...but you know what?...when you install Linux on it?...it goes from "Beast"...to "God-Mode"!....LoL! I got Pop OS on it..and with 32GB of RAM...and a 2TB SSD?...yeah...I'm not looking for anything else)....although I still love Lenovo ThinkPads!.....those are my "everyday" ;laptops...whereas the XPS?...is for media consumption.....movie / Netflix ...and a bit of reading (trying to learn Python) awesome vid dude!
Bought the 9560 model based on your review last year. Based on your initial impression here, I don't think I'll be upgrading. PS - Can you do a VR capable PC build/specs etc? Would be an interesting video!
This is the second video of yours I've watched. Very informative and kudos on your presenting skills. Would you happen to know how it performs with games or a highly intensive 3D platform?
This has one of the best(if not the best) ports selection in the market,the only downside(i think) is the webcam placement.......specs/perfirmance wise you can't go wrong with any of it's competitors at the price range...if you want other laptops than this
Great Preview and unboxing. Can't wait for the full review on your channel as I've been eyeing this same laptop with the same specs as you have chosen. Subscribed to your channel. Keep those videos coming :D
The Tech Chap Nice quick take, but really want to see your full review to see how much of a true performance increase in real world activity you're able to actually without thermal throttling, especially with the i9 and Max Q version of the 1050Ti.
The reason why it is not usb-c charging is that USB-C port can only deliver a maximum power of 100W, which is not ideal for this device as you got a massive 97Whour battery. The DELL charging port is 130W for fast charging.
Can I have your old XPS 15 then? Haha! Just kidding. It’s a bit expensive for me and I may not consider buying one, but performance-wise this is highly recommendable for those who can afford it. Thanks for the review Tom! 👍
Great video as ever boss! Loved your laptop buyers guide, could you do a desktop buyers guide, I think a lot of people would find that useful, thanks again 👍
I'm running an AMD 6500 quad core processor, 8gb cheap ram, 2 tb hdd and a Nvidia GTX750Ti with a 21 inch 1080p monitor. This will DEFINETLY be an upgrade. Now i just need money lol.
Only 1 year warranty included on this laptop, so that makes me already worried about its durability. HP and Lenovo give 3 year warranty in Europe, so they seem to trust the quality of their devices more I assume
What an amazing piece of tech! It's beautiful. You always make the best quality content possible. Keep it up! One question, Tom. Which antivirus do you use? and if you use windows defender, what other do you recommend?
Just order it on US website because when u pay 2500 pounds that is like 3500 dollars converted... stupid prices in the uk even in switzerland u pay like 1700 pounds for the top version of it :)
i wont replace my XPS 15 yet, power for my needs is still there, although i would really like to have something like a 1060 or 1070 in that slim formfactor... And i guess i am most likely going somewhere else with my next purchase.
not sure what you're talking about re: glossy, it was never highly reflective, my 4K 9550 is certainly not and highly usable. I doubt the 9570 is any different in that regard.
I'm not a fan of laptops where the keys are the same color as the surrounding faceplate. I'm also not a fan of a faux carbon fiber surface - it picks up fingerprints like crazy - they say it's real - I'd love to watch them fabricate it (I've worked with carbon fiber - doesn't quite look like this - but whatever). Nice specs though. Nice review!!
I've actually been waiting for this for a long time....but in the past 2-3 weeks, I've really warming upto the Matebook X pro. I know its not as powerful as this, it has "U" processors, but still, it looks way better than the xps.
Am so freaking impressed i9 Tom you have no idea how bad I've been waiting for a review from you an to come with this is really awesome love your videos an that laptop mouth watering but I really don't like tell placement of the camera and the ports it's caring was really hoping to see a type C charging adapter
You don't need the 32gb of ram or 1TB HD, and for the i9, the case is not build for it, Dave 2D and others have said this cpu throttles like crazy in this laptop "the thermals are not up to par for the heat missile called the i9" , I would save some money and go with the i8. Right now on the Dell website you can get the i8 with 512GB SSD 16GB of ram "more than enough for what this machine can do, and more than enough for any software out there today" and the 4K screen for $1800, they have a 17 percent off sale as I am typing this.
I bought 4 months ago the previus version (9560) 40 days after I received it I have to call Dell to fix a major issue with power AC adaper. They replaced the adapter, the motherboard and the battery. Computer worked fine.... Fine until a week ago. The same issue occured again. Compurer ran out battery and ac adapter was not recognised by the computer. Contacted Dell and a reseller here i Sweden, I managed to take my money back and I ordered the Asus ROG Strix (Scar). I will make 100€ out of this, and I will have much faster laptop. From now on, I will never use Dells product again. I had Asus previusly, and it was amazing!
damn this same set up is around $3800 CAD still going to get it though, have to upgrade from my current 6 year old samsung laptop. you didnt mention it so im not sure if you can get it in your country but i (from canada) have the option for a 2TB PCLe solid state drive for an extra $1050.00 not an apple fan but that seems comparable to there $3000 4TB that everyones bitchen about. ordering the this in 2 days...stoked! great videos man!
Well ima student in canada. I just went with the i7,16GB RAM,512GB SSD, 1080p screen, Microsoft office included, 2 years prem support and 2 years accidental warranty for 2.2k after tax. Im pretty happy considering the savings from a normal price and student discount + coupons
Waiting for a comprehensive review on this. Really wanna know whether it's worth going for the core i9 version. Also, need update regarding thermal throttling issues that plagued 9560.
I've been waiting for your review on this since the day it was announced. What I'd like to know is how you carry the laptop. I'm probably going to buy the 9570 for Uni but I'm a bit worried since it might take some damage while it's in my bag. Do you use some specific type of bag to protect it?
im still running the maxed out version of 2016 and it think the design is awesome but i need to repaste it and do a dust cleanning, running it 9h a day rendering blender and music production, premier renders 4k 60. I might sell this one and buy the i9 one
Do you think this would be enough for 3d rendering? The fact it has a 1050 kinda pisses me off but if I the fact that I can be able to connect an external videocard doesn't bother me.

😱😱😱 Holly Jesus! Core i9, 32GB ram, 1050ti . This is a great laptop.
You're saying in general, but it isn't good for everybody. This muscle under the hood with this cooling, if you can call it cooling, is only good for a certain purpose.
In most cases, however, this machine will throttle. Can't help it. The i7 option is better for most users.
@FRODO SWAGGINS i9 means a burned hole in a laptop.
I have bought an i7 16gb ram version of this for my son and I loved it when testing its performance.
It was annoyingly noisy on first few boot ups but once all the windows updates were finished it ran as quiet as a mouse. I undervolted the cpu by 125mV and it was perfectly stable. When playing Witcher 3 with high settings at 1080p the cpu was in 60s and gpu also in 60s, the fans could not be heard over the 40% volume speakers (which are also not too bad). I was getting around 80fps which is a waste with the 60hz on the 4K display, never had a maxQ gpu before but I now know I can limit fps in the nvidea control panel to help reduce power usage. It really does run cool and quiet.
Although this can game very well it is not a gaming laptop like the Dell G7 or other similarly large laptops, try sticking one of those in a bag and carrying it around and using it all day long. If you want to compare this to a similarly sized MSI GS65, Gigabyte Aero or Razer then fair enough they are valid comparisons. What you will discover is that those 3 are substantially more expensive than a comparable XPS 15 with i7, you are paying a lot extra for the 1060 or 1070 that you will get. If you want the extra graphical power then those laptops may suit your needs better so go for those.
What you get with the XPS 15 is a great all around package. Superb performance, great build quality and looks , terrific keyboard and trackpad, good selection of ports , great battery life and the option of a long term warranty. I spent months thinking about what to get for my son and I am happy I went this route.
Lee Greenway this dude probably works for dell
Lee Greenway Hello, I have a question for you.
I am thinking of buying this computer with an i7, 16 GB of RAM, 1050 Ti and 1080 display for the college and here in Spain the price is 1800€.
Also mi other idea is the Huawei Matebook X Pro i7, 16 GB of RAM, MX 150, and 3k touch display for 1900€.
The thing is that I believe that maybe the XPS 15 is a bit bigger, but the XPS 13 is very small and poor specifications. The Huawei has a 13.9 display while the XPS 15 15.6.
And also in terms of quality in general how is it?
Thanks so much.
I have never handled the Huawei so I cannot really advice you on its merits, it does look to be a very nice laptop. The Dell is surprisingly heavy and feels very solid when you pick it up, the Huawei will be a fair bit lighter and also has very thin bezels for a compact package. The main difference between these 2 laptops is the gpu performance, the MX150 is only for casual gaming with modern games on mostly low settings. This low level of graphics power made the Huawei not suitable for my sons needs. the 1050Ti can play demanding games @1080p on high settings with good fps and has the performance I was aiming for.
I personally went with the Dell and the laptop I received worked perfectly so I am very happy with its quality and performance. I would say to make sure the version you are looking at has the 97WHr battery, it is a must have in my opinion and would give you incredible battery life with a 1080p screen. The Dell is a more powerful laptop and is cheaper, I do not see you being disappointed by its quality if you buy one.
Also the Huawei is USB-C only , no USB A ports , No HDMI and no card reader. Not sure if that's important to you but the Dell has a good selection of ports. Everyone has different needs, if you need a smaller lighter laptop and do not need the extra performance of the 6 core cpu and 1050ti then the Huawei seems to be a very nice laptop.
P.s. I do not work for Dell but if someone wants to offer me a job I will consider it.
Lee Greenway holy Moly, thnx . Finally someone that maybe convinced me. Little story : Im working on the ship . So Im long way at home . And now with the airports etc . Im looking for a laptop. I was thinking a lot about prices, if I want really good fps or not. Batterij life , weight . So I was thinking also about Dell xps , Dell g5 , MSI gs65. Dell g5 i dont like the Lookout but by comparrison is the best buy inside . You have also mi gaming laptop but that i dont know with the shopping etc ... The. MSI g65 for 2100 you got GTX 1060 it is better with circa 30 % all around then 1050 ti , but we are talking about if 1050ti at GTA v is 60-70 fps then 1060 is 80-90 or more . And i don't Care about od i'm playing at even 44 fps. So I guess Dell XPS 15 1050 ti is to go. Look good, batterij life great , weight like a feather, can game . If I may Ask ? Can you upgrade ram easy ? Again thnx
If you search on RUclips for Western Gents United you will be able to watch a full set of videos on the new XPS 15. He shows actual gameplay with the fps and temps on screen and his vids are very good. He has just reviewed the new G5 so you can see the difference that makes in settings and fps and whether a 1060 is worth it for you. He also has a video showing how to upgrade the ram , it is not difficult but you do need buy very specific ram if you want to upgrade. My advice is to watch his videos and also Tom's review when it comes out.
The only point I would add is that the XPS 15 is not very light, certainly not the weight of a feather. For its small size it is surprisingly heavy and feels very solid
Only 283000 subscribers ? That's not right. You actually convinced me to buy the 9560 (coming from MacBook 2015) and I couldn't be happier with it.
I have a few questions that i want you to answer in the review.
1)Do you have any coil whine?
2)What about throttling?
3)Any issue with screen flickering?
4)How does the killer 1535 wifi card works?
5)The key board is working fine?
Please cover them too in your review.
because i have read people complaining about these about the new 9570.
So i want to know before ordering.
I have been waiting for it since I've learned about it! So yes, I'm super excited and thrilled to own one. Thanks, Tom!
Like you Tom, last years XPS 15 is my work horse laptop and my wife’s for work. It’s a great bit of kit which performs incredibly well.
I’m incredibly jealous that you have the new i9 version making an awesome machine even more so.
PS loved the opening description of it. Sounded like you were describing and Aaron Martin. 👍🏽
PCTechHub does that means ppl who don’t prefer Mac book pro could go for what TTC??
aabidfaiyaz sorry dude I don’t know what you are getting at!
PCTechHub I meant most ppl don’t like MacBook Pro so do they go for dell XP’s the one shown in this video??
aabidfaiyaz you might also want to look at the new Matebook Pro X
aabidfaiyaz oh ok dude I get you now. It’s all personal preference. I love my XPS and it does good for me if you have the money then this i9 would be a beast.
I got this laptop after seeing your reviews but forgot to say thanks to you . From past 9months i am using this laptop n happy with the result
Thank you
I'm surprised this model doesn't offer a GTX 1060 graphics card version, like the surface book 2
Barkin Bryce have you seen how T H I C C the surface book 2 is?
You can't cool it even like this, why bother with stronger components..
ZIL GATES the 15 inch surface book 2 has a 1060
n00bie It probably could if they redesigned the chases a bit and completely redesigned the heat sync as the current heat sync is a garbage designed if it's the same like last years
The only reason surfacebook2 can do that its because the gpu and cpu are seperated, so it is easier to manage heat
4K screen: Be curious whether you think 4k is worth it. The 1050ti would not be able to handle the 4k display for gaming (not core use case I assume) but some would want to every so often. So, the degree to which it can drop back to 1080p, for games, without taking a hit would be a consideration.
I9: It would be good to see some competition in the laptop space, not sure this core-i9 is as really as top end as the marketing is would have us all believe. Let's face it we've been stuck with dual core laptops for ever (for most people), and that's only changed recently.
VFM: The 'is it worth it' and 'what else is there' are interesting considerations. Agree that even with a 3yo design, it's a good looking laptop.I don't own apple or have any interest in them but Science Studio did a good video recently on software optimisation for video editing for, on his low end apple laptop. While it's a very specific use case, it was a useful video.
Type C has 100wats limit for charging, with H series cpu and 1050ti I don't think type C will be able to charge the device adequately.
Exactly correct. The XPS 15 power brick is 130W. There is a 100W USB C charger offered by Dell, however it is an additional cost.
true, + even if that wasa all the dell needed, I would prefer not to use up a type c port for charging in many charging situations, and instead use the non usbc charging cord and use usbc for other things, since there is only one port I believe.
If you are using it fully, then yes, 100W will not be enough. If you aren't using it intensively, then it should be fine. Even at full intensity, it should slow battery drain.
Nick Wylie That i9 cpu inside draws upwards of 100W by itself, if you let it. Idk why bother putting such a CPU inside, if you can't cool it
You can get a Type-C dock with USB-PD which can forward the 100W of power to the laptop while providing extra ports. An external GPU enclosure can also provide those watts which will probably be enough if you turn off the GTX 1050 Ti in the laptop.
Nice overview, but it still surprises me when "tech reviewers" on RUclips complain about not having USB-C charging on laptops with full fat Intel H-series CPU and dedicated GPUs, like don't you all know that USB-C can only deliver so much wattage to power Ultrabook CPUs and it's likes?
You should also check out the Matebook X Pro! The Verge called it the best laptop you can buy right now and I think we would love to see your opinion ☺️ (Edit: Turns out he already has reviewed it, so please promptly ignore this comment lol)
He has. Check out his channel
Oh thanks! I somehow totally missed it.
Hgo S it's all good. You're welcome
Still, remember the review. Bought the laptop after this very review in August. Was looking to get either macbook or windows based desktop. Like my DELL XPS laptop. Have had an issue with the battery, which overheated in my bag because the laptop did not go to sleep on the lid close. Bought an aftermarket replacement on amazon which did not work well (the laptop kept saying the battery is not original). Replaced with another aftermarket one, which also led the laptop to fail, returning both to amazon and got a genuine one, no problem with that. During battery replacement, I forgot to screw in one of the Philips screws, and the screen latch bracket, which is part of the back panel, failed a few months later. Could be related to the existing DELL XPS issue seen on the internet at the time, but bought a new bottom case on my own. The purchase was wrong - my original keyboard did not fit the housing because of a different Enter button. Decided to buy a new aftermarket keyboard which fitted. Along with the latch a screw bracket for the charging port also broke up, but I got an original replacement for a few bucks. At the end managed to screw everything on my own - battery, back housing, charging port, keyboard. Definitely repairable at a good rate. USB-C port used daily. And definitely still happy with the purchase. Thanks for the nice video.
I have the 9560 (got mine in October last year) and I'm thoroughly satisfied. Definitely will wait another year or two.
I have recently bought the i7 16gb ram 512gb ssd version, and I have to say: it's just plain amazing! In fact, i'm typing this currently on the xps 15.
There's only one major complaint I have: when gaming for 5 min, the laptop freezes so hard up to the point that I have to hold the power button for 10 seconds to just be able to do something. It doesn't matter what game it is, or how graphically intensive it is. Even Undertale makes the laptop crash after 5 min. Maybe it has something to do with the intel graphic drivers, maybe it's the thermals being too hot? I don't know what the problem is, but until it gets fixed, I wouldn't recommend this for gaming at all. For everything else however this is the perfect ultrabook.
Just got the XP’s 15 7590, with 1tb of ssd, 16gb of ram, and a nvidia 1650 graphics card all for 1500 so I’m happy
The problem with windows laptops is that 99% looks like a toy to play games.. so I’m extremely happy that some companies tries to do something that looks more serious.
@The Bridge
He's saying that Macbooks look more sophisticated and professional, like a work laptop rather than a personal computer. He's not completely wrong given the right environment. In universities where there's tons of students studying on their laptop, the most common littered around are Macbook Airs.
Watching this on my Dell XPS 15 9560!!!
Apple would Charge you at least 8000€ for this Laptop
YoungGroup it charges 3900$ right now for its MBP15 with i9, 32 gigs of DDR4 RAM, 1 TB SSD, Radeon Pro 560X with 4 gigs of VRAM. This dell costs around 3300$. So you kinda pulled that 8000€ out of your ass.
Megalodon i wrote this comment one month ago there Was no i9 macbook...
Exactly, it even did not exist yet, and you put up your own price already. Which means pulled it out of your ass. Get over the fact that Apple is not that overpriced brand as it was before and all the memes from the past are no longer valid.
And very neat, that you removed "bitch" from your reply.
Megalodon love u
I bought the new 2019 XPS15 with the Oled screen,one TB, i7. It's being delivered tomorrow.
Outstanding. How's the laptop now? Going decent so far?
@@082138able I am satisfied with the performance.
@@lonecam1955 how about the thermal management?
I'm finally going to college and I'm going for the DELL XPS 13 2018, these XPS laptops are beasts in a small package.
This is a beast in all among laptops.
One word, ..... NICE Laptop and video. I had the new xps 13 (9370) for a few weeks and encountered a lot of issues with it and I just returned it back. I’d like to buy this one, ....
I've my had 9570 for over a year now and while it is a beast, yes, it sounds like a jet engine!! Even while nothing is running sometimes it'll just start howling for minutes at a time. not the best when you're a podcaster and you have to keep starting and stopping your recording :-(
We're lucky to have such high quality laptops available in the Windows world! I'm still rocking the XPS 9550 (i7, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD, 1080p screen). It was the most expensive laptop I've ever bought, but for the time being, it's still quite good enough for my purposes. I will squeeze out a few more years out of it. My guess, though, is that the 9580 or the 9590 will not have much of a CPU upgrade, since the jump to i9 is pretty substantial. That should make the 9570 a solid and inexpensive upgrade in a few years. But for someone who edits videos (not me), they may not be able to resist jumping into such a substantial CPU upgrade.
you might not have one on hand to do this but I would like to see a comparison video of the Dell XPS 1050 Ti Max Q to a laptop with a 1050 TI not Max Q, and a GTX 1050 TI desktop card. That would be an interesting look into the performance differences
It doesn’t have a 1050 ti Max Q, it’s just a regular 1050 ti
BldgWha7 It has a 1050ti max q...
The U.S. gets a GTX 1050 ti. I believe everywhere else gets a Max Q.
Every xps 15 can have up to the 1050ti max q and no the US doesnt get full 1050ti either the xps would literally cook itself with the extra heat. best dell pulled off from the last gen was going from a gtx 1050 to a gtx 1050ti max q and who knows maybe the 2019 model will come with a revision to thermals to allow for up to full 1050tis or 1060max Qs
The carbon fiber getting dirty so easily would drive me crazy but other than that, I can see why people rate this laptop so highly. Looking forward to the full review.
Just because your phone uses usb-c and your laptop does too, does not mean your phone charger will have enough watts to adequately power and charge your computer. It may charge if your computer is turned off, but it will painfully slow. Phones simply don't have the watt requirements that a computer does.
However, the usb-c is nice on a laptops for usb-c or thunderbolt 3 docks with power delivery. So one port can break out everything and still deliver power.
I almost bought one of these the other day but I learned it only came with a 1050ti which is a little subpar if your goal is gaming (which mine is). Giving it a 1060 should be the bare minimum.
Side Note: I much prefer glossy screen apposed to matt. Wish more companies would give that option on more models instead of just 4K.
Nice preview Tom. Keep up the good work.Look forward to seeing your full review of this laptop. A bit disappointing that you've yet to share your full review of the Aero 15X with the 4k screen you acquired a while back. I'm still looking forward to it, as I'd like to know how the battery life is with the 4k screen. No other reviewer has covered that yet.Speaking of Computex, I'd also like to see the new Asus ZenBook Pro 15 which is coming with the same i9 CPU in this XPS. I'm trying to make a purchase decision between these 3 laptops (a 4th wildcard would be the new Razer Blade 15). Full reviews of all 4 of these, preferably with 4k screens, would be appreciated. Thanks!
Ahh can’t wait for your review! I’m so glad I waited for this. Now im waiting for MBP15 to upgrade and I’ll choose between the two. So far I’m leaning towards this machine.
The new positioning of the cam which allows the 2 nostrils to show up is enough to upgrade :D It's all about symmetry :D
I am watching on my 9560 and I'm pretty jelly. I wish my 2017 had better speakers and 400 nit brightness.
Why does people on yt keep mentioning that they want to see something diffrent when talking about the outer design. I mean, the macbook pro hasent changed alot in its design or am I just an idiot?
Stefan Modigh simplicity is best
ScuffedEdits isn't it simple already? It has all the ports anyone could want maybe, and not having to use adapters all over the place.
Stefan Modigh I was agreeing with your comment. The simple design is good.
ScuffedEdits haha sorry but yes your right indeed :)
Well you have a Mac... it says it all...
I have 9360. I had it about 8 months and I've had it replaced it twice and fixed 3 times. Xps15, specs look great as well as the look. However, the ridiculousness of QC is beyond me. I hope they are doing better job with 9370
Borrow a HP Zbook studio g4 (or the soon to be released g5) from someone and compare the two for video editing. Would be very interested in the results.
Dell xps is the best laptop suitable for both gaming and professional work. I am currently using 9560 model n I love it. 9570 is little better but 9560 is still a great one though i guess.
Was excited for this, looking forward to the full review! You are a national treasure, need more Brits doing such quality reviews!
Michael Cruz kiss his ass
I use an XPS 15 9560 now and if Dell doesn't fix that camera location, I won't be upgrading with a Dell anytime soon. I don't even use it that often, but when I do, it's annoying af.
Actually they did center the camera which is an improvement
I’d love to see Dell or Asus releasing XPS 17 or Zenbook Pro 17. Cause I want a 17-inch powerful laptop that doesn’t scream, “Look at me, I’m a gaming laptop!”. I think a 17-inch laptop made the way XPS 15 does would be light and small enough to sell well.
I literally got mine like a day before you with same specs am really liking it. I got mine for 100 quid cheaper cause i bargained with the sales guy
I’m in the process of choosing a new laptop. Was very interested in the XPS 15, until I read about the vast QA issues, overheating and Killer wifi problems. Looking at the new Razer Blade 15 now.
I found the Dell UK site didn't offer the model I wanted, the i7 only came with 8GB of memory and a 250GB Hard disk. On some of their european sites I found a number of different builds, one which included an i7, 16GB memory, 500GB SSD and 4K screen. You have to call Dell sales to unlock the other models, the model numbers go from CNX97001 to 07 I believe.
I'd been waiting to invest in a laptop for a while and wanted either an XPS or a MacBook Pro, found XPS was just better for the price.
Really enjoying the laptop.
I picked up 9560 for Christmas after asking you on Twitter. Honestly, I love this thing. I've done a few up grades of my own on it. (2TB 970 Evo m.2, thermal paste change out to thermal grizzly. Ram is next) But I have to admit the one thing I don't like about the 9560 is the 2 line thunderbolt port. That alone isn't enough for me to upgrade but is there a work around?
Keep up the great videos! Waiting on that 4k 144hz HDR monitor!
Dell's notebooks are pretty nice. I got a very basic model just recently, a sub-$600 Inspiron with a Ryzen 5 2500U, and then I doubled the RAM and replaced its slow hard drive with a SATA SSD, and of course installed Linux on it, and it's great. Plenty fast, good wireless and Bluetooth capability, optical drive, 1080p display.. Probably wouldn't be all that great for doing heavy computing, but that's not what I use mine for. I like the keyboard, though, something Apple apparently can't get right anymore. :D Ditto the available interfaces on the sides.
I would be interested in your detailed review in the following:
- 4K display vs. FHD display - how much it is better to work on it, reflection in real use, scaling of windows applications?
- i9 vs i7 advantage: does it really perform the 10-25% advantage in real life use? Can the machine handle the CPU, or does it throttle back due to thermals?
- can one add a 2nd SSD or HDD, if the battery is exchanged to the smaller one? Are the physical ports present for it?
fyi: you can charge your laptop w/ usb-c ; as long as it's 45W+
People will just be like “meh” when using this on starbucks 😂. But some people will be like “wow” when seeing someone using lastyear, cheapest macbook. Yeah, it’s life.
The most important thing, choose what we really need. If $700 laptop suits you best, then there’s no reason for going beyond 2000.
If $700 is all you need don't go beyond $700, but yes your point is right.
If 1 dollars is all you need don’t go beyond 1 dollars, but yes your point is right
lol at myself
Most iAppleLaptop sufferers only use the thing for light browsing, listening to mass-marketed musac, and writing amateurish school reports. Any proper USD 700,- laptop would already be overkill. :)
That's really not true lol. Macbooks are a dime a dozen. Everyone has it wherever I see it. What's the wow factor really? It's the same shit. This actually looks so premium and different and is rare.
Warning!!!
Do not let the app Dell Support upgrade the trackpad driver.
Yes, the old drivers are terrible, but the new drivers hardly work at all and no fix for over a year now on XPS 15 trackpads.
And besides much of the trackpad problems comes from the Windows operating system.
TWO QUESTIONS:
1.Can you please tell me about the battery life? Is this durable enough?
2.How about pen support? The screen is touch-model isn't?
Excellent Tom. Look forward to your full review.
Nice .... Battery is also Impressive. 97 Whr.
Agile KM I bought this laptop like 3 months ago but the battery is just crap ! If I play apex legends on it it only lasts for like 30-45 mins !! Do you play games ? Also it only gives me like 5-6 hours with just web browsing and RUclips ing. How’s yours ? Let me know please 🙏
USB C max power is 100W, but XPS 15 is 130W, SO Dell chooses DC to power the laptop.
Thank you for this. Haven't seen too many videos on the refresh yet, and I've been dying to make the purchase. Just pulled the trigger and got the i7 with full HD screen. It'll be a massive upgrade from my Dell with a second gen i5, especially for the adobe programs.
Can't wait for a test video/ comparison because now I'm thinking to spend a little (not that little) bit more for new version
I sent a direct message to Huawei and asked them to hurry up with releasing the new Matebook Pro in UK - we need more competition in the laptop market here
I also have the Dell XPS 15 (9560) and yeah...its a beast...but you know what?...when you install Linux on it?...it goes from "Beast"...to "God-Mode"!....LoL! I got Pop OS on it..and with 32GB of RAM...and a 2TB SSD?...yeah...I'm not looking for anything else)....although I still love Lenovo ThinkPads!.....those are my "everyday" ;laptops...whereas the XPS?...is for media consumption.....movie / Netflix ...and a bit of reading (trying to learn Python) awesome vid dude!
Great overview thank you 😊
I got it a few days back its awesome machine.
Would love to see an in depth battery review with the upgraded internals !
Bought the 9560 model based on your review last year. Based on your initial impression here, I don't think I'll be upgrading. PS - Can you do a VR capable PC build/specs etc? Would be an interesting video!
It's funny you touted the 'Full HACH D' model in the previous gen
This is the second video of yours I've watched. Very informative and kudos on your presenting skills. Would you happen to know how it performs with games or a highly intensive 3D platform?
This has one of the best(if not the best) ports selection in the market,the only downside(i think) is the webcam placement.......specs/perfirmance wise you can't go wrong with any of it's competitors at the price range...if you want other laptops than this
Great Preview and unboxing. Can't wait for the full review on your channel as I've been eyeing this same laptop with the same specs as you have chosen. Subscribed to your channel. Keep those videos coming :D
The Tech Chap Nice quick take, but really want to see your full review to see how much of a true performance increase in real world activity you're able to actually without thermal throttling, especially with the i9 and Max Q version of the 1050Ti.
The reason why it is not usb-c charging is that USB-C port can only deliver a maximum power of 100W, which is not ideal for this device as you got a massive 97Whour battery. The DELL charging port is 130W for fast charging.
Can I have your old XPS 15 then? Haha! Just kidding.
It’s a bit expensive for me and I may not consider buying one, but performance-wise this is highly recommendable for those who can afford it. Thanks for the review Tom! 👍
Hands down best review for Laptops
Great video as ever boss! Loved your laptop buyers guide, could you do a desktop buyers guide, I think a lot of people would find that useful, thanks again 👍
why does xps always steals mah heart
Nice.. waiting for full in depth review 😄
I'm running an AMD 6500 quad core processor, 8gb cheap ram, 2 tb hdd and a Nvidia GTX750Ti with a 21 inch 1080p monitor. This will DEFINETLY be an upgrade. Now i just need money lol.
If I didn't love my MacBook, that is definitely the laptop I would purchase. Best looking Windows laptop hands down!
Only 1 year warranty included on this laptop, so that makes me already worried about its durability. HP and Lenovo give 3 year warranty in Europe, so they seem to trust the quality of their devices more I assume
it has great durability, plus it has the best build quality
What an amazing piece of tech! It's beautiful. You always make the best quality content possible. Keep it up! One question, Tom. Which antivirus do you use? and if you use windows defender, what other do you recommend?
How reliable is the XPS 15? a lots of ppl had problem do you?
Just order it on US website because when u pay 2500 pounds that is like 3500 dollars converted... stupid prices in the uk even in switzerland u pay like 1700 pounds for the top version of it :)
I gonna buy this device as soon as possible
i wont replace my XPS 15 yet, power for my needs is still there, although i would really like to have something like a 1060 or 1070 in that slim formfactor... And i guess i am most likely going somewhere else with my next purchase.
You are going good mate. Very nice video. Keep it up
not sure what you're talking about re: glossy, it was never highly reflective, my 4K 9550 is certainly not and highly usable. I doubt the 9570 is any different in that regard.
I'm not a fan of laptops where the keys are the same color as the surrounding faceplate. I'm also not a fan of a faux carbon fiber surface - it picks up fingerprints like crazy - they say it's real - I'd love to watch them fabricate it (I've worked with carbon fiber - doesn't quite look like this - but whatever). Nice specs though. Nice review!!
I've actually been waiting for this for a long time....but in the past 2-3 weeks, I've really warming upto the Matebook X pro. I know its not as powerful as this, it has "U" processors, but still, it looks way better than the xps.
Am so freaking impressed i9 Tom you have no idea how bad I've been waiting for a review from you an to come with this is really awesome love your videos an that laptop mouth watering but I really don't like tell placement of the camera and the ports it's caring was really hoping to see a type C charging adapter
just a dream come true
You don't need the 32gb of ram or 1TB HD, and for the i9, the case is not build for it, Dave 2D and others have said this cpu throttles like crazy in this laptop "the thermals are not up to par for the heat missile called the i9" , I would save some money and go with the i8. Right now on the Dell website you can get the i8 with 512GB SSD 16GB of ram "more than enough for what this machine can do, and more than enough for any software out there today" and the 4K screen for $1800, they have a 17 percent off sale as I am typing this.
I bought 4 months ago the previus version (9560)
40 days after I received it I have to call Dell to fix a major issue with power AC adaper. They replaced the adapter, the motherboard and the battery. Computer worked fine.... Fine until a week ago. The same issue occured again. Compurer ran out battery and ac adapter was not recognised by the computer. Contacted Dell and a reseller here i Sweden, I managed to take my money back and I ordered the Asus ROG Strix (Scar). I will make 100€ out of this, and I will have much faster laptop. From now on, I will never use Dells product again. I had Asus previusly, and it was amazing!
damn this same set up is around $3800 CAD still going to get it though, have to upgrade from my current 6 year old samsung laptop. you didnt mention it so im not sure if you can get it in your country but i (from canada) have the option for a 2TB PCLe solid state drive for an extra $1050.00 not an apple fan but that seems comparable to there $3000 4TB that everyones bitchen about. ordering the this in 2 days...stoked! great videos man!
Well ima student in canada. I just went with the i7,16GB RAM,512GB SSD, 1080p screen, Microsoft office included, 2 years prem support and 2 years accidental warranty for 2.2k after tax. Im pretty happy considering the savings from a normal price and student discount + coupons
Very interested in baseline thermals and undervolting / repasting as a way to improve thermals
Waiting for a comprehensive review on this. Really wanna know whether it's worth going for the core i9 version. Also, need update regarding thermal throttling issues that plagued 9560.
I've been waiting for your review on this since the day it was announced. What I'd like to know is how you carry the laptop. I'm probably going to buy the 9570 for Uni but I'm a bit worried since it might take some damage while it's in my bag. Do you use some specific type of bag to protect it?
Buy from the USA,a friend will bring one. In this way it is going to be of value otherwise a waste of money.
An update to the beast. A bit expensive tho. Waiting for the full review.
im still running the maxed out version of 2016 and it think the design is awesome but i need to repaste it and do a dust cleanning, running it 9h a day rendering blender and music production, premier renders 4k 60. I might sell this one and buy the i9 one
Do you think this would be enough for 3d rendering? The fact it has a 1050 kinda pisses me off but if I the fact that I can be able to connect an external videocard doesn't bother me.
