For people that have an xps 13 (or know people with one), did that unit have coil whine?
Mine does yes
For the people who have a gaming laptop , how's the feeling🥺🥺
Yep mine does as well
you forgot to mention that the screen ghosting is quite bad as compared to even mbp 13.. i got coil whine as well on my 9370. also, speakers popping due to max software audio.
I have the 2018 xps 13 and have never experienced any coil whine

Yeah, he's quite gentle with his touch.
He's holding them like they are $1000 pieces of tech.

I mean he ain’t wrong u know what u getting
OOF 100
If all the laptops shown have an issue, I’d rather at least know what to look out for because I can prevent it. MacBooks probably have the best build quality, and for the keyboard you can just put a small cover on it if it’s really that big of an issue
The way Dave handles laptops or gadgets is impressively diligent compared to Linus.
Until you see him spinning Macbooks, that gave me anxiety lol.
he opened almost every laptop from screen corner. if you keep doing it , you gonna get a flex or screen bleed soon
...and Unbox Therapy.
They are clearly not from the same universe
@@witvklk What does "diligent" mean?
Dave: MacBooks are consistent...
Me: At what ?
Dave: At being problematic
have u seen the new macbooks with the M1? They straight up rapes all high end Windows models, so please shut the fuck up incel!
And im not even an apple fan boy, its legit just facts.

I've had my XPS 13 since Nov 2017 and only now noticed that my laptop has some coil whine because of this video.
Thanks, Dave.
That's the thing. You only notice it because other people point it out. But if you didn't really notice it in the past or it hasn't really bothered you, then I'd say don't pay much attention to it.
And then you can't unhear it.
I can only slightly hear some niose from my 9730 (xps 13 2018) when moving the cursor or scrolling. Dunno if this "counts" as coil whine?
Another problem that is far more annoying however is that hibernation doesn't work for some reason. When I start my pc after a hibernation it doesn't resume where I left off. Any of you have this problem?
pretty sure it's because you didn't even know coil whine was a thing
Merely watching this video is enough to intimidate your XPS 13 into whining
This was honestly your best video to date. So many people watch so many laptop review videos and the issues surrounding models/brands is never discussed in length. Good on you to put out this truthful and educational video so people will know what they're buying into.
I know it's dumb but I'm constantly amazed at how far computing tech has come in the last 20 years. The idea of having machines so small yet so powerful was science fiction at the turn of the century. It's mind blowing.
Damn you are really old
It’s a joke k
@@jackf1684 Because it's faulty design and not build quality. Apple seems to have fixed the thermal and keyboard issues with the new m1 MacBooks though.

Oscar's Places what HP laptop are you referring to? I’m planning to buy HP envy, so I wanted to know. Thanks
Same I returned 2 HP spectres for coil whine, just got a different laptop after that
@@jessicamariers Hi Jess all good? I bought the HP - ENVY 2-in-1 15.6" Touch-Screen Laptop - AMD Ryzen 5 - 8GB Memory - AMD Radeon RX Vega 8 - 128GB Solid State Drive - HP Finish In Dark Ash.
After an update of windows the laptop show bluescreen.
I tried two different laptops both with the same issue.
Please don't buy HP.
I ordered the Acer Aspire 5. should come tomorrow. I let you know.
Oscar's Places thank you for the info! Will definitely research more before buying.
jessica marie suerte I did get an Envy x360 13z w/ Ryzen 3 a processor direct from HP. For whatever reason, after a Windows cumulative update, the laptop experienced constant blue screen. I think I got a defective product because after lengthy chats with both the Microsoft online assistants and HP online assistants, it was determined that the laptop had a hardware failure. Had to send the laptop to HP for repairs which included a motherboard replacement and a SSD swap (thankfully I had warranty!). Laptop has been flawless ever since.
I wish I would’ve watched this last year when I was looking for a laptop. Every review I watched scared me away from buying.
What did you end up buying? I'm in that position now
Lenovo Yoga 920. It’s been a good laptop so far. I wanted to get a MacBook Pro, but I think staying away from the defective keyboard from the current generation was a good call.
@@eesp999 Ah, nice, I just got a 2015 MacBook Pro today. I also opted to stay away from the new pro. I'm happy with the 2015 pro.
ASHLEY WILLIAM HAYWOOD I think that’s a good choice! Solid machine and software without the keyboard trouble.
NiceGuyGamer
Why? For $2800 it’s super weak. Obviously specs aren’t everything, but if I’m paying that much for a laptop, I’m expecting much better performance from the GPU than a 5500m which is roughly equivalent to a 1060 max q.
The processor is nice though at least, but if I’m paying that much, I expect everything to be top of the line, not just the CPU.

build quality is low for all the big brands. My XPS 15 was great but died after 2 years. Dell did nothing. Very disappointing!
@@kevinramsamy1166 unfortunately I did not have extended warranty. As soon as warranty ends, the support is terrible. They said it was not repairable so I had to get it fixed by a third party
Buy a ThinkPad. Even second hand ones don't die off.
@@daledael5263 I have a ThinkPad. It's not dead, and is decent for basic use.
"At least the Macbooks are consistently crap"
Matt Schwartz Yeah, it still works like new. That is, it’s just as bad as when you first got it.
My Macbook Pro died on me 3 times in 5 years... Display, battery and motherboard. I paid as much in repairs as a brand new laptop. It was never dropped, taken good care of and the worst is it wasn't my primary machine so wasn't used that much. In comparison my parents are still rocking 8-10 years olds entry level crappy windows laptops that still run fine today thanks to replaceable batteries and swappable hard drives (now with ssd).
I work in music events and we use a lot 15" inches for tours since some vjing and sound software is exclusive to OS X, display connection and motherboards dies regularly due to bad heat management.
[EDIT] I don't say all Macbooks are crap, just that they have their (costly) issues. If you're a power user and need a powerful macbook insure the heck out of it because it WILL die from heat.
@@wawa5379 true. i've never owned an Apple product, not beacuse they are bad they are pretty good, but mainly because of the price. apple can literally charge anything and people will buy it. Also i'm not the biggest fan of macOS and iOS, but i could get used to that, i could never get used to being in debt though.
I have an 8 year entry-mid level old Acer and it still works well, i swapped in the SSD and might get a new battery for 20 bucks. this laptop has been through hell and back. the only issue i had with it was the cooler broke 3 years into ownership, but it was under warranty and they fixed it no problems. now my laptop is running a bit hot and i will do a repaste clean the whole interior and i've just disabled turbo boosting for CPU and i'll have it for a bit longer. This is also what i'm missing at apple customization, upgradability and fixing. i broke the screen on my android phone and ordered a replacement one from aliexpres for 20€. replaced it myself and it works as good as new.
I'll probably get a new laptop within a year (my old one has a pretty bad screen now) and it will definetly not be apple. i'll still dish out a reasonable amount of money (was thinking up to 1500) but a macbook with same specs will still cost twice as much

@@Edge9404 good choice,
MSI GS65 and some other msi laptops are known for fan noise/rattling. I had to get one replaced and then get the replacement fixed.Rattling started after 2-3 weeks on the first unit and month and a half on the second. Since they got replaced by MSI (One month ago and for free) it has been fine but people should know.
My GS65 rattles occasionally too. I have a feeling it's due to a small amount of flex in the chassis.
i got a gs65 and the fans come on for any reason at all like literally just watching youtube videos, is that normal????
I had that for the longest time and it went away by itself last week.
My GS75 has zero problems, it's awesome!
I've had the gs65 for almost a year now and haven't experienced rattling, but a common issue I ran into was the enter/fn button stops working pretty much. Reddit told me its a manufacturer problem where a screw bends into a ribbon cable for the keyboard. If you take apart your laptop, you can try to un-dent the ribbon with your fingernail or something and it fixes it, but in my case, only temporarily. I even put a thick piece of tape on top of the screw so it wasn't so sharp against the ribbon, issue came back after a month or so.

@@b1_ferg Asus Vivobook user here.
Throttling. Lots of throttling. I have to use a third party app to control the TDP and temperature limit to go through it (reduces the frames a little, but I don't have to deal with stuttering after 5 minutes of gameplay). Then there's the panel issues. Asus optimizations make your screen look orange (probably some to conserve battery). Had to go to services and disable it. Then there's registry strings that conserve battery and reduce gaming performance (EnableUlps to be specific).
Seems like Asus makes the customers use their devices they want. Most consumers would not spend the time to tweak all of this out (or even find out these problems). Never buying an Asus laptop again.
@@darkstar5805 wow. Thank you for the information, Harsh. I really appreciate it.

He has some good points on macbooks, but at the same time keeps recommending lenovo. And lenovo has the WORST fucking repair service ever. No shit. Search for lenovo repair on google and you will be treated with enough horror stories that you never buy another lenovo. There are some nice stories, but they are very rare. Rossman is either lucky, or a marketing mascot of lenovo (even if he may not realize it himself).

I second that
Albanez 4K that is lit
i watch not because I’m interested in laptops,but that your voice is so soothing
I have a 2019 Thinkpad X1 carbon with a dolby HDR Glossy display - which is literally the best display on a laptop ever - and its absolutely amazing.
The keyboard is as good as the reviewers said it was. Battery life is great. The material its made of feels so premium (well, its a magnesium-carbon composite, so thats expected), its SO DAMN LIGHT, my sister bought a 2019 macbook air at the same time i bought my thinkpad and man, her laptop is so much havier than mine. The trackpad is very responsive. The ports are amazing. The speakers are not amazing but not bad at all - definitely not as bad as some reviewers made it seem to be.
I have no complaints. 10/10.
X1 Carbon keyboards probably feel different because the backlit and non backlit models are built differenly
Also, the manufacturer of the non-backlight ones can vary. /r/ThinkPad has a whole wiki page on this.
No. Different parts literally. But keyboard wise it is first world problem. Like excellent keyboard or just very good.
@@ryuuseiSoul Yes, they sometimes even use different switch design or fittings (on even older models if you search for a key replacement on ebay they usually ask how your button looks like under keycap because there is a slight form variation) for the same model keyboards. That is why they can feel a bit different from one same model laptop to another same model, same year laptop. But all of them are still very good.
Most things he says needs fixing or replacing are not considered as faults and normal consumers won't get a replacement for a slight light bleed or coil whine.

r/razer is full of people complaining of these issues and of razer customer support
Joseph Azzam Thanks for pointing that out. I’m still doing research for a new long-term laptop and the Razer blade 15 was high on my list. Really, thanks. You’ve saved me a lot of headache.
Don’t forget motherboard issues with fans going full blast.
I remember back when laptops had a thousand different styles. Thin or *THICC,* conventional or 2-in-1, swivel hinge or 360 hinge, tiny or HUGE, little power to BIG power, those exclusively for home and for business, from "purse-able" ultrabooks, to military-spec rugged monsters, to the MASSIVE 21" Acer Predator 21x! Each laptop had its own different style, and you had so many combinations and features to pick from.
Not to sound like a cranky grandpa (I'm nearly a young adult at the time I write this), but nowadays there's just slim laptops and tablets and of course 2-in-1s, and they are all designed to fail within a year or two, forcing you to pay for a brand new laptop when your previous one broke on purpose. Back then, if say your laptop was running short of RAM, just swap out the sticks (making sure your motherboard supported the new sticks). Nowadays companies force you to pay for new devices even if the tiniest module (like one microphone) broke.
It's all about the money and nothing about sustainability. #RightToRepair

Dave, this is true with almost every technical field and product known to man. I was a professional photographer and camera measurebators are obsessively wedded to Brand X over Brand Y, even when in the main both brands are fine. Ditto cars, musical instruments, other consumer electronics and almost any other product you can think of. Very sensible overview, nicely done.
I started my computing history with the Univac 1050-II. I, then, worked with avionics test equipment that used octal and hexidecimal language, in calibrating fighter aircraft weapons delivery systems. Next, was HPIB test benches for the PHALANX gun systtem, using HP-III. A decade later, I was the office 'guru', working on Compaq desktops with DOS 6 and Windows 3.1. All laptops are made for a generic class of market, be it kids, students, the business arena, engineering, or guys like me,i.e., retired and do not care about "gaming".

Maybe they solved the problem... But by making it even more thin in the next gen it popped up again :D
Laptops always have some sort of compromise. It could be thermals, power delivery, lack of customizability, but it packs so much inside a tiny package. You can move it with you and it is fuss-free. In fact, it easily occupies 10-20% the space of your case, while having a screen.

Hey Dave,
Anything specific about Microsoft Surface Laptops?
No USB C port in 2019.
Don't buy the surface devices in India. I have a surface book that basically turned into a lemon and Microsoft India support is non existent, I had to pursue them legally to fix my laptop in warranty. A friend of mine with a surface pro 5 had a similar experience.

@@puffypigdey6422 Also, i shouldn't have to contact MS support in a different country altogether. The device was purchased in India and comes with a year long warranty. They should honor that.

For gaming, choose the Acer Nitro. Costs around 700 dollars but it does a great job.
Edit: If i messed something up, you can correct me in the comments.
@anonymous i dont know. huawei seems like its a apple wannabe and their name seems more luxury than theirs. although apple has good design and a different feel to it. i would totally agree with you but i've never had it so im on the neutral side.
Huawei: reasonably powerful specs for their size
Almost always overheats
@@randomuser1579 I thought so but never got my hands on one
What do you think about the helios 300?

Man this man is real a inspiration to all tech channels. He really inspired me to start my own utube channel.
Ya bro he really gives alot of useful information
when dave refers to the macbook, all i can think about is gordon ramsay in hell's kitchen saying
"We're all about consistency, so are you consistently shit?!"
My new favorite tech channel . Linus has become incredibly annoying
I've never subscribed to him, I don't think I've ever watched a Linus video completely through. Him and unbox therapy, I just feel like they are constantly shouting at me. Dave Lee and MKB are the only 2 tech guys I need. Calm and smooth presenters.
@@mikea5205 You should also check out MobileTechReview as well. Lisa is incredibly knowledgeable and chill.
No JerryRigEverything? Zack is my favorites RUclipsr.
@@AS-er4ud Her reviews are legit as fuck
@@mikea5205 yeah but i would'nt watch a subjective tech review.
You can love or hate Apple products but you have to give them that their costumer service as a manifacturer is a million times better than anyone elses. When I had a iPhone my finger print button stopped working after like 9 months. I made an appointment ready to fight them to death for my rights but when I went there they asked me if I have an iCloud backup, I said yes. Then the guy vanished for a few minutes and came back with a brand new iPhone and just gave it to me like that "Here you go". It literally took like 10-15 minutes and I had a brand new device and I used mine for like 9 month, it had scratches on the back and whatnot. Saying that I was impressed is an understatement.
But now they are hopelessly overpriced and its gets worse year by year. Also while some products are still great (like their iPads), other products are behind the competition. Other companys make beautiful, well build devices now too. They need to overthink a lot when it comes to their Phones and Computer/MacBooks. As it is now they want more and more money for their products while they just aren't that special anymore and have more problems than their older devices (bad keyboards, thermal problems etc).
But at least their service is still top-notch (you know, like their phones have top notches too hihi). Thats pretty much the only reason I would still buy something from them, at least when its heavely reduced in price.
Yeh apple products are very durable
A heavily thought out, fair opinion supported by evidence and considerate of other's views. Well done! You win my respect and probably most other people who take the time to read it
I hade the same problem with iPhone and finger print button and they just dissappeared and came back with brand new Bugatti like: "Here you go"!
Well, unless you have a problem with your 12" Macbook keyboard and the company hasn't admitted the keyboard is a problem yet. Therefore they tell you the best they can do is charge you $550 to fix their crappy broken keyboard or live without the space bar.
Looks like Dave liked the Thinkpad
Time to put away my pitchfork . For now .
Fr. I'm so glad people are starting to respect the think line a little more. I've been a thinkpad fan for a few years now but it's really been just our small group of hobbyists
@@sahirde i never been a laptop fan untill i used a Thinkpad . The keyboard .its so good
Man I had a T460s and returned it 3 times for the uneven joints, display problems (white dots), cheap finish and loose base cover. And now I got a X1 carbon it's perfect except the keyboard - especially the backspace and enter keys are kinda rattling and little loose. I am keeping tho. You can't have a perfect device these days..
@@sahirde would you consider the upgrade from a t480 to a t490 actually worth the price I am currently saving up money to buy a thinkpad
Everyone else : Best laptop in 2019
Dave: Every laptop sucks
I have a X1 carbon, and it's a fantastic. The best laptop that I've ever had
This is beyond helpful for me; thanks for always tweaking the format and bringing new/fresh information 😁🔥
Thinkpad for the win! Adore my X1 to death. No issues. Also, you didnt really point out that they had any issues, just that they are all different? They are some of the best built laptops you can buy.
Older Thinkpads are better
The Thinkpad P series is built back to the roots. It's not 100% perfect, but as close to it as we can get.
Can you upgrade the RAM & storage in the X1?
@@telcobilly X1 carbon has the ram soldered but I believe storage is upgradable
Hello what gen of thinkpad x1 do you have?
Dell's also have the issue with the device not turning on, even when fully charged
Leonardo Cabrera yeah I had that issue with an Inspiron 7000 2 in 1 where after like two years it just wouldn’t start sometimes after pressing the button.i had to pop out the cover and press the motherboard or the cables I forgot what exactly but yeah.
Definitely test out your laptops as best as you can as soon as they arrive. I've had some bad luck with laptops, but this way I managed to sort everything out on the first week.
I've been using Thinkpads for most of my technology life, they always gave me the consistency I want and never failed me, they also have great warranty. As you being a laptop reviewer, I believe you're not giving them the attention they deserve. but as always great content.
Omar Shehab consistency?
NateH hhh yeah, got that edited
Its your experience . . Not the general public's
Been using Thinkpad's since 2001 and none of them has let me down
It blows my mind you could spend $1,000-$2,000, and there will be common hardware defects.
Maybe I'm lucky, but I bought a used laptop for $300 three years ago and the thing is still running perfectly today. And the model is actually from 2010!
Laptops where Better made back then. And they almost all had glossy better screens.
Kinda different tech back then compared to now; the more tech you put in a laptop, the bigger the chance something goes wrong, especially when you try to cram it in a small enclosure...
You do a fantastic job with these videos Dave! I've learned so much in the last few days by watching them. Thank you!
holy sh*t, I did not realize coil whine is something I could actually avoid as I hear it from laptops and computers in general, and I friggin can't stand the noise. Other people can't hear it, which made me think I was crazy. Glad to know it's actually a thing.
The fact that it took them two years to fix the camera and still haven't fixed the coil whine makes me weep for Dell.
"Every laptop sucks" and the video picture is a Lenovo X1 Carbon ... Thank you for making that clear Dave
I have an hp laptop they're infamous for overhitting I could be doing some regular office work while listening music on RUclips and suddenly without any reason the fans would go crazy loud
I trust this channel more than any other when it comes to tech reviews. Stay honest and bold! Love your content.
Agree with ASUS products having problems later on after using it. But good that they have a really solid builds for their laptops. :)
Make a video on Best GTX devices to buy in 2019. Budget Problems!!!
Watch Linus video on gigabyte aero. It looks promising enough.
Xiaomi gaming laptop
Thanks snow hound.
@@harshreddy4594 no probs. Apart from the AI gimmick the aero looks very promising nad comes with top tier specs. For like 500 dollar cheaper. Also has a massive 94Wh battery. Linus has reviewed lot of rtx laptops recently. Definitely check them all out.
Don't buy gaming devices, buy a bmx/semi-mountain bike instead and go on a trail... you'll feel better, trust me. I did it when I had budget issues 😁
It really is true. Nobody just makes a laptop with a great screen, 500 nits, low dim, great keyboard, great battery, great processor, great graphics card, ports, great speakers, good build quality, and good looks. It's insane, every laptop is missing 2+ of those items, so buying one never makes any sense
So i come back to this video occasionally to encourage myself to not upgrade my laptop
The Lenovo Support is also great and fast. My Laptop had two issues and they fixed them very fast.
That's great news! Thinking about getting a Legion Y740
Lenovo support for the thinkpad line is miles ahead of Apple, to be honest
I have a T480s and freaking love it. I might upgrade to a X1E next year.
F in the chat for me...I have a Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon with ALL of the problems Dave pointed out PLUS MORE.
Hi, Dave your content in the videos is far better than other RUclipsrs! At least for me. Great job!!
Dave please review the X1 Carbon, at least the 2019 model. Please?
Please?
Its garbage
Best keyboard out there. I've had the Matebook X Pro, X1 Carbon and Lenovo T440s and tried my friends mac. The matebook and the mac have an equally horrible keyboard which hurts my fingers while typing on it.
@@sampsalol Current TP keyboards are not that much better
@@ryuuseiboi950 You're literally part of the reason why Dave made this video
4:36 ikr the Apple keyboard always sucks and fuses that dont work so that the CPU is the (very expensive) fuse
Why'd that be a problem? I mean, if the fuse doesn't blow up, everything is perfect. And if it stops working, you held or used it wrong. Think Different.
Eden exactly.
Louis Rossman explains it in depth but Think Different (Think broken) is the short version
@@xasmaniusvolk8416 anyway Louis still prefer to deal with apple devices. You know why? Bcs macbooks are consistent even at hardware level :)
