I think Dell is having bad quality issues, I bought my 5770 4k A2000 and the display had clouding defect because of the backlight was not uniform, they sent me a new one, this one with backlight not uniform and after 3 days the motherboard was gone now I'am waiting the technical person to replace the screen and the motherboard. I bought the first 3 months ago and I still can use it because of Dell s bad quality controls or no control at all. It's a pitty because the colors of the monitor are fantastic and this machine has zero throttling with a Geekbench result of 13900 for multithread, a beast.
Great review. Would you recommend i9 or i7 intel cpu? Worried that i9 would overheat the laptop cousing this upgrade have small gain in processing power in reality compared to i7.
There are, usually the non-touch and also non-qhd/4k displays are matte finish displays. Dell uses the term "anti-glare" display as the matte finish display.
@@BsianTech if you have a specific recommendation for interior & graphic design needs. i can only find a quadro graphic panel and im not sure it will support my programs.
Thank you for your great Review. I am in the lucky situation to choose my next buissiness computer by my own with just small restircitions (must be from dell) and I ordered this one. Now I´m very happy to see that the temperatures arern´t as high as I expeceted. Did you noticed thermal throtteling at any point? Would you suggest to undervolt this laptop?
@@BsianTech The main applications are standard office tasks, coding, VM tasks and CAD (electronic and mechanical development). I would define myself as a PC Enthusist who tries to get the best out of the system. I use my Laptop like 80% with a workstation and 20% without. For me it is also very important to have a lightweight 14 inch system. Until now I had gotten 3 Dell Latitude 14 inch laptops from our IT department and I was very dissapointed about these systems. I frequently experienced Bluescreens with the first 2 systems and especially system freezes when I walked around with them. Later on they showed the RAM error code. It seems like the RAM slots weren´t very stable at these models. So I am very happy, that the RAM is soldered here.
@@abdulhaseeb2377 tbh. i was were happy with this laptop until it started smoking because a screw came loose inside the laptop, causing a short circuit.... A dell technican came to our IT department to "fix" this issue. He changed the motherboard but not the fan where all of the smoke went through. After the "repair" on high loads when the fans speed up the room smells like shit. 4 broken laptops and a broken docking station in 2 years is too much. Never had these issues with Lenovo.
Is this comparable to a Macbook Pro M1 Max x 32 gb for video editing? I´m not sure if i should buy the MBP or the I9 version with the RTX A1000 Dell Precision...
Thanks, very good review. Is there still a mux switch like in the other precision latops? (If you enter the bios there should be an option to disable the integrated graphics)
Thanks very much @April Luo, glad I am able to keep up with the expectations and hopefully have some interesting information for you as well. Hoping you keep healthy and safe.
This is a really useful review. Thank you. Would you consider comparing the this generation of Precision keyboards, touchpads, finishes, etc to those things on the corresponding generation of ThinkPads? I’m always left wondering what the tradeoffs between those lineup-wide design choices are between Dell and Lenovo. Unlike the quantitative things like performance, temperature, etc those more qualitative attributes are difficult to compare without having samples from each lineup in hand to use, test, and compare.
If you looking for the pure aesthetics of Precisions vs P series of Thinkpads, they are quite different. This is my opinion and from my experience. If you holding one in your hands the Precisions generally feel and look nicer with the Aluminum finish this is of course subjective but I think the thinkpads are more robust and durable in terms of scratches and drops. Keyboard for me is still the Thinkpad keyboard for the key travel and feel plus it has a little slight concave surface to each key rather being flat. Touchpad is nicer on the Precisions as the fingers glide more smoothly but the depression on the press on trackpads is mechanically feels better built, being more sturdy and bounce. I'm still more keen on the ports on the thinkpads though, while I like thin laptops I would gladly sacrifice a bit of thickness for useful ports like USB-A and especially HDMI port so I don't have to remember to bring an adapter. I hope that helps @alx9r.
Hello Bsian, thank you for your reviews. I love how you present everything. Much appreciated! In your test what has the better sounding speakers in the Presidion line up? 5470. 5570 or 5670? Thank you!
I will be trying to get my hands on all of those, we will see =). Also the Dell Precision 7770 with the UHD display can go 120hz too in mobile workstations.
Aye the weight of the 7770 will be a lot to carry. I think its about the battery life is why it isn't in the Precision 5xxx. I was hoping the new Precision 7670 have the option but it doesn't as well.
@@BsianTech with 97whr I feel no hesitation in mocking the engineers to their face that I can’t possible contemplate their stupidity of not putting the 120hz. It’s enough mAh. And users can tone it down to 60. Likewise, it’s beyond me why P1 runs at such high voltage and has battery that holds about paltry 5500mAh, and they are on high horse boasting about their 90whr. 🤦🏻♂️ enough space to land a plane and they couldn’t fit more Mah. Sheesh. Android phones are nearly there.
Thanks for the in-depth reviews. As luck would have it, yesterday I received the same computer. It’s impressive, but I get a light clicking noise from the fan, like playing cards in bicycle spokes, which is annoying at low fan speeds. I haven’t opened it up to see if there is an obvious problems, but wondering if you get any similar noises from your fans. - Thanks.
Hi @J D actually I did get that clicking noise from the fan, when I opened up the internals I also open up the left fan and found a extra piece of plastic not sure what it was and couldn't work out where it came from since I didn't see any broken bits. I thought this could be this unit has issues from transporting which I reported back to Dell and hence why I had to cut the review short as I returning the unit back to Dell for investigations. I don't add these possible isolated hardware fault issues to the review as I think it could be an isolated unit issue.
I contacted Dell and they sent out a tech in a day or two and they changed out the fan. I also asked them to re-paste the cpu and gpu. With the new fans and repasting the clicking noise went away and temps dropped about 3-5 degree in stress test
I am taking a guess you are referring to the battery life test. If so, 200 nits was the recommended brightness to set the display, I had a chat with UL to find out the recommended settings who are the developer of PCmark and Procyon which the test are from. Also 200 nits should be able to reach from all laptops. Just thought will use the recommendation settings so you can refer to other reviews of other laptops that provide same test.
Thanks for the review! Very detailed. Will you be doing a review of the Dell Precision 5480 that was released earlier this year?

is there any precision laptop that is mat- non glossy display??

@@BsianTech but it is as big and weighs as much as a baby elephant. There’s no reason why dell shouldn’t put that same display in 5770

in hardware you did not speak for RAM , is this solded on board ?
Sorry if I forgot to talk about the RAM but the RAM is soldered to the system board so you can't upgrade/add more later on.

Just 200 nits?

Correction. Max Ram is 32GB.
