This series since the 7577 has been such a great hit. Across nearly every SKU the bang for the buck it’s just always there. You don’t have to wait for a sale, you can just grab it go and know that you got a pretty sweet deal. I dig the alpine white! Now in a lot of these the fingerprint reader is actually built in to the power button. Is that the case on this?
Thanks for posting great videos on the G7. Ive ordered the 1399$ model with all the bells and whistles. comes Tuesday! Been roving the internet to sate my excitement, so thanks for helping!
Conor Tanji yeh, trackpads feels great. Much better than the Aero 15w. Speakers are good. Their software is good for that. Just loaded games on , will start testing tomorrow 😀
Please let me know how you like it.i was thinking about this model too but no fingerprint reader is kinda hard to accept.it was just awesome and futuristic.so I'm back now trying to save for the 7577
Thanks for replying! I’ll let you know what I think! Less then 24 hours till I got it. If you don’t mind me jumping from one video comment to another, you mentioned undervolting the Aero -150w. Have you undervolted the G7? What kind of results have you had good results with? Is it necessary? I’ve seen decent reviews on the G7s temps. I’m looking forward to twiddling with all the settings and seeing what I can get out of it.
Hey guys. So I've had my G7 for almost a week now and I'm loving it. I've got the $1399 model with 4k screen and what not. Battery life isn't great as to be expected, im getting about 2.25-2.75 hours while actively using it for web surfing and Netflix. I'm no tech wizard but like to fiddle around a bit. I've undervolted it a bit and getting pretty good results. running most games on high that are online multiplayer like PUBG, but max on offline games. So far no real complaints. I know it doesn't have a fingerprint reader but to me, that seriously isn't a big deal. @exklim Id love to see a video on how your overclocking and undervolting went. If you could include a quick screen shot of you're settings that'd be awesome to! I'm sure I can push more out of this beast but since I'm not a big techy, I've just pushed a little. Also, Have you seen the video/ messed around with the difference in CPU power while the laptop is unplugged vs when its plugged in? I'm regularly seeing 4.0 while plugged in but usually half at 2.0 while its unplugged. Any way around this that you know of? I've messed with performance settings to get a bit more power out of it but not having much luck.
Thanks for the info, subbed! Liked the comparison between the lot. Here in the UK you can get a new Inspiron 7000 gaming with 1060max-q. Guessing it's the G7 in all but title. Looking forward to your benchmarks
Lachlan Bursle Thanks for the sub! Yes, pretty much the same apart from the CPU. Opened it up last night to put 9i n a hard drive. Easy to upgrade. Shared heat pipe design so I expect I will have to undervolt it but I think it has quite beefy heatsinks. Thanks for the sub !
@exklim Tech News... G5, G7 are pretty much same as Dell 7577 in terms of chassis, there are just slightly difference in color accent and exhaust cover style. However, G3 is kind of new to Dell gaming laptops family, even though its chassis is not totally new, but should be light weighted. I personally think more and more gamers would be interested in DELL G3. So if you can do full review of DELL G3, it would attack more audience.
Yes, a bunch of people have been asking about the G3. Thing is, Dell told me it would be 3 months to get a sample so I bought this and plan on selling it. I also bought the xps 15 2-1 , do you expect many views on that one?
Thanks for sharing the basics on the differences between the G series of Dell computers. I was wondering about them while I was shopping on the Dell web site. My old Inspiron (from 2011) is finally wearing away a bit. It still works, but the battery has finally died, as I get a warning every time I turn it on. So, I have to leave it plugged in to power it. I guess it is time for something new and this video has helped, so thanks again!
Looking forward to the full review of this. That’ll help me decide between this or the Alienware 13 OLED for a college and gaming laptop. Great video as always
Thanks Julian ! I'm testing it now and I must say I am very pleased. No throttling, decent temps and great performance for a reasonable price. Will be undervolting and overclocking it. Stay tuned for the full review :)
Great channel! Thank you for the great work... subscribed and turned the notifications on! Can i give only one constructive feedback? Try to keep the computers in a better shape and clean them before recording, so they look nicer when you are recording. :) I got a Gaming 7000 one month ago, im enjoying it very much, really silent and fast, but i had to change the screen settings to achieve something better to use. Takes a while to get used to it, but overall, its great!
Finally a well priced laptop with great performance and an option to move away from the red and black design! I really love the white base with blue trim, its not common and seems to look proper when you bring it to work and meetings. I'm a bit worried about the flex on the screen, is this laptop durable enough? The screen looks dark, perhaps the UHD model is better. How is the keyboard? I've tried out the previous version and it felt small and shallow. Nice review and really appreciate how detailed it is!
Thanks William ! The keyboard feels as if it has slightly more travel than the 7000 gaming, not much though, although I would say the space bar seems to have a bit more. It performs like a champ. The biggest weakness is its mediocre screen. Nearly done all my testing. The full review will be up probably at the weekend. Lots of details, but my summary is that it is a great value laptop and the 1060 maq Q runs as well as the standard version and the laptop runs cool.
Glad to hear your findings! Will be staying tuned for your full review. I'm really interested on getting this laptop and my only concern is the monitor, but if it runs cool even on load then I'm happy. A lot of gaming laptops I see today try to cram a lot of performance in small cases but their temperatures tend to go beyond 80 degrees C.
Yes, indeed and the Aero 15w is testament to that. Gaming it gets to 90+ degrees, the fan blades and heat sinks are small. The G7 is much better in this regard. sRGB is 61%, NTSC 46% if I recall and AdobeRGB abut 44%. Brightness isn't great either. Battery life 4 hrs 48 mins, which isn't great but is enough for a couple of movies. Thanks for taking the time to comment :)
90 degrees on a laptop to me sounds insane and really concerning! Glad to hear the G7 fairs better, will wait for your full review. Battery life of 4 hours is okay since I expected about 3 hours. Really appreciate the technical details and the way you review laptops!
i bought 2 dell gaming 7577 for my office 6 months ago for about 850$ each . they have better specs and the price is just better than XPS or latitude ( most XPS come with intel U processors, and their performance sucks compared to HQ lineup). The only bad thing was the black and red combination, which is pretty bad for an office, but seems like my boss didn't care much about that. My next purchase might be this one or the G3, both are priced right i just hope they are as reliable as last gen

I'm mainly going to use this on my education, at home I can plug it into my current monitor and sit back. The irony is that this laptop is probably 5x as powerful as my current desktop. So I could potentially throw that one out and use its 1TB harddrive.
It is amazing the power of this laptop. It may be a Max Q 1060 but it performs on par with a regular one and it does not throttle. The 1080p panel is not the best for sure but at this price range it is great value really. I hope to have my full review up this weekend!
I still think "Exklim tech news" just doesn't have the same ring as "OWNorDISOWN". It just sounds a lot more generic like any of the other channels branded "tech news".
Yes, I agree. Shame really as everything else looks so nice. It must be because they wanted a big chassis to cool the CPU especially if one does come out with that i9
I don’t know if it’s me but I was watching Dave Lee’s review on this laptop and his laptop looked much bigger and bulkier. Your laptop looks much thinner and nicer and great review by the way!
spenceman123456789 in my battery test all I do is stream my RUclips videos from 100% to 7%, screen brightness 25%, battery and power saver on. Do the same test on all my laptops
Love the channel..Always on top of things, I picked up the Dell 15 7000 with I-5 7300 hq and 256 GB ssd with 1060 max q, from the Dell outlet for under 750 dollars with a 1 year premium warranty. I THINK THE PRICES FOR THE NEW 8TH GEN CPU ARE RIDICULOUS really not worth the extra. My thoughts anyway.
I was looking for that laptop, but fully maxed out with the 4k panel. Although it looks cheap and lot of plastic allaround I care most about the performance and it not to hrottling under heavy work. I want it for very intensive audio editing and code programming. Would love if you can try it intensively and talk about performance and how long the battery last in a daily use. All the best!
Will do Heraldo ! I intend to stress out the CPU and see if I can get it to turbo higher than the 3.9 Ghz. I will OC the GPU too and record all power usages and temps.
The reason for the max Turbo at 3.9ghz is because is the max speed for the six cores at same time, so Dell try to force the laptop to work with all cores together, instead of reaching (just) a little bit higher frequency but with less cores. Smart move IMO in most of the situations thinking 99% of the actual software take advantage of the multicore and mutilthreading :)
Thanks mate ! The Helios 300 was the faster machine and it was quite quiet too. I was impressed with the thermals and noise levels on the G7 and did prefer its look over the Helios 300. Probably the nod goes to the Helios but if the G7 is much cheaper and you get two sticks of RAM its worth snapping up. Here is my review on it ruclips.net/video/Vq9ACOFApr4/видео.html
I guess I’ll go with the G7 as I am struggling to find a difference between the G5 model. I have a 7567 with the red color scheme, so a white/blue color scheme on a laptop would be pretty nice.
Tim Lindelöf yeh, there is negligible difference between the G5 and G7. I liked the Alpine white model. I just bought the G3 so will review that too. Thanks for watching.
Nice unboxing ! Can't wait to see its performance. and that weird 3.9 turbo boost.. it seems like the new 8th gen cpu always run hot about 90 on both MSI and aero 15x and even on the new asus M laptop, i need a laptop that can handle heat issue because heat is what kills laptops life and performance. This laptop is a bit thicker and heavier and the bezels is another story lol. Regardless hope it has better thermal management. and for the new CPU how much can we undervolt and will it improve thermals and performance ?
Abdulaziz Alpha The Aero 15w , in my testing so far does throttle even at about 88 deg. I'm sure an undervolt on that will help. I'm sure the cooling is better on the G7, will open it up and show you as well as undervolt too. I want to see if I can get it to boost to 4.1 like the Aero 15w. I'll go into the BIOS too and show any settings that are worthwhile. .
Thanks. My main objective on my unboxings is to notify my viewers that I have the laptop and will do a full review. I will be doing gaming as well as CPU tests like video encoding, photo manipulation, video editing. I measure all temps, average and max operating frequencies, battery life. I overclock and undervolt. Stay tuned for my full review :)
Chris Wallis Hey Chris , thanks, glad you liked it. I've done all my benchmarks, just got to some filming and comparison benchmarks on the 1050ti on the 7000 gaming . Full review this weekend. I'm afraid I dont know the UK price as I live in the USA, sorry !
Cheers mate ! Hideveolution are sending me two MSI's next week. I will ask them for an Alienware once I am done as Dell said it would be like 3 months..
Hi, Thanks for the review! Questions: 1. What is the exact brand and model of the included 256GB SSD? 2. Is the keyboard the same unpleasant one (very low key travel, no proper tactile feedback) as the one in the 7577? 3. What is the exact FHD screen brand and model (Aida64 or similar software can tell it) ? Thanks
he SSD is a Micron 1100 SATA 3. Monitor ID is LGD053F, LG Philips LP156WF6 (Dell 4XK13). 60hz Keyboard does feel as it has slightly better travel, not a huge difference though. Space bar is more noticeable. Hope that helps !
I've been scouring the web for extensive review of the G series, it's yet to launch in my country and I look forward to this. I was going to buy a 7567 but held off on it for the 8th gen processors this series offers. Could you please do a G5 vs G7 comparison? They both offer similar specs except for the i9 in the G7 so I'm genuinely confused.
Hi mate, thanks for watching my video. Yeh, they are confusing. Apart from that i9 they are basically the same. The styling of the G5 is the same as the 7000 gaming of last year which I show in this video. I tried to show it in my Pax East video - did you watch that?
hey very nice review, im looking for some help, i cant decide on getting the 7577 gtx 1060 max q, some reviews say it´s great, but i´ve seen people complaining about ports and screen, what do you think? also i saw a version that says Dell i7577, what´s the difference between this and normal 7577? thank you.
Juan RD from what I can see the i7577 and 7577 are exactly the same. It does get very confusing because when I bought mine when they first came out there was no thunderbolt port, no IPS screen and only a 1050ti max. In the 7577 that has all changed. The difference between. The G5 is mainly the inclusion of the six core i7 8750h CPU which will give you about 40 to 50% improvement on multithreaded tasks.
Hey man, first of all thanks for the video. I have been waiting for RUclipsrs to make some reviews on these laptops. I just have some tips for you to make your channel better. First, for being an unboxing, the video was honestly too long. I would say try to make these kinds of videos shorter and instead of them being "unboxing" videos make them "first impressions" videos as many other big RUclipsrs out there do. It would be great if you just got to the point and showed the contents that came out the box, unless the unboxing is something very very special and has a great presentation. 5 minutes for a first impression video is on the sweet spot. Remember here, the shorter the video the more likely people are to click on it. Another thing, it'd be great if you had more time focusing on the laptop than you speaking, don't get this wrong, it's great if you show your face at the beginning of the video and at the end. Try to change the views and angles of the product as you talk about it. I would have wanted to see the laptop up close a few more times from different angles. Talking about angles, looking at the laptop from the top with the laptop upside down at 2:14 was just a little bit off, it would have been great to see the laptop the way you would look at it when you are using it normally, form the top front view Adding some animations to your videos would be great, if you were to add animations when you talk about ports that would make your videos even better. What I am saying is instead if showing your arms covering half of the screen, get a good shot of the laptop and when you say "mini display port" show some kind of animation that you like on that specific port pop up. This always add an edge to the video and shows the viewer that you are putting effort into your videos Anyways, I know this is not a full review and as stated 12 minutes for a simple unboxing is too long, save some of that energy for the main review, but these tips apply to any kind of video. I hope your channel keep growing. Good luck!
Juan Perez Thanks for the tips. I did contemplate calling it first impressions. Unboxtherapy shows unboxing and he is a big channel. I take your point about showing stuff come out if the box. Perhaps just start with what's in it. In my full review I will show more of the laptop from different angles etc. Remember, this isnt the review, its main purpose is to show my viewers that a review will be coming up on it but I want to show more details than just "hey, this is what is in the box". It's an ideal time to show it against competing laptops and in this case its predecessor Thanks for watching and taking the time to post a comment 😀
Yeah, I agree with most points. I missed the close up shots, I know these things are available on the official website, but when you are listing I/O ports it helps to have some visual points of reference. I quite like how MKBHD does it, it neednt be a video, could be a high res image being panned as well.
U K remember this is an unboxing..believe me my full review will he crammed with lots of info. More than you see on other channels. I record everything, av and max clock speeds, av and max wattage, power pull from the wall, temps, undervolting, overclocking, multi tasking performance, video editing . Not just gaming. The IO ports I will panned photo shots.
Easily mate. Even an i7 7700hq is good enough. Do you have the Windows Mixed Reality Headset ? Its great for total mobile VR. I tried it outside once :)
Thanks Mate ! I have to get the Aero 15w done first, Gigabyte has only given me a week to do it. I filmed inside the G7 and putting a HDD in last night, pretty much all games are on now so while I do battery test on Aero 15w today I will do game tests on the Dell today. I suspect perhaps the weekend.
exklim Tech News Will be looking forward to it! If you have it, could you please benchmark some CPU heavy games like Assassins Creed Origins? I want to see how the 8th gen CPUs effects gaming performance on those types of games.
xerader123 I have benched PUBG, BF1, Rainbow six Siege, Rise of the Tomb Raider, Far Cry 5 and Timespy. Cinebench, handbrake, Adobe Light Room, I also want to do some video editing, and a multitasking test.
Yes definitely, all my boxes get shoved in a closet until I sell the unit. No frills packaging makes sense. dell is also quite proud of the recyclability aspect which is nice
It was just released in denmark on dell dk for 1145 usd but they bumped up the price to 1300 usd two days after. A shame... was really considering it as my new uni laptop... My x200 can't really run maple, R, eclipse and such very well.
I know you have the 1080p version, but any idea on what the screen quality is like for the 4k option? I'm curious about the color reproduction on it for media work. And also, what are the speeds like for the hard drive? I heard it supports NVMe PCIe but the included drive is actually SATA...
I got 516 MB/s Read and 228 MB/s Write. It is a PCIe slot so you can swap it out with a faster SSD if you wish. I will show all the innards this weekend in my review :) I'm afraid I don't know what the 4k is like, it must be better than the 1080p as the colour accuracy and brightness are sub standard...
You can clone the SSD. I use Casper: www.fssdev.com/products/casper/ You will have to buy a USB C to PCIe m.2 adapter to put the second SSD in to as there is only one slot in the laptop..
I'm planning on buying the 16gb version with 1060 for making videos.. I work mostly with FHD and some 4k.. Could you please use this one to edit your next video and let us know how good it is?
I'm going to include a test using my Magix editing software.. You can set all the multipliers to 4.1 Ghz and increase the turbo power limit to get a good 15% increase in some apps like Handbrake encoding. I'm quite impressed so far :)
Yes, I truly think it is very good. It runs cool out the box. No fan control but its not needed. Performance is top notch. On the most part matches the Aero 15w that I am testing at the same time with a regular 1060 and its cooler to boot. I have OC the CPU to get 1264 on Cinebench R15 and reduce my handbrake encode from 32 mins to 28 mins. Speakers are good. Easy to get into. I put a hard drive in, took 5 mins. Full review coming !
I’m going to be ordering mine in summer, if the i9 is available by then, is that something you would recommend, or would you suggest sticking with the i7?
If the cooling is upto it the i9 would be great. I have heard some people getting 4.7 Ghz on all 6 cores. Lets see how hot this one gets in my tests. Stay tuned :)
Jahvel P the colour accuracy is poor but the display is better than the TN panel I had on my 7000 gaming laptop. All in all it's a great laptop. Performs fast and cool.
Ive been looking at this personally configured with a 256 SSD and 1TB HDD & 16GB of Ram. Gonna use it for College and light gaming but here in Canada its about 1699. A similar MSI/Omen etc are about 1499. Hoping it goes on sale but not holding my breathe. Maybe a back to school SSD.
I went with a full fledged Alienware 17 with the 6 core CPU.. I figured Id spend the extra cash and honestly i can use it for any Blizzard game at 60 FPS. It cost a bit more but will last me for years. So far so good on performance. Its certainly an eye catcher too. I did order a Cooling pad (CMU3) to go with it now and it helps with temperatures. Overall certainly over priced but Im hoping to get 3 year or so out of it. Cheers.
Your title is confusing you are comparing the G7 to the G7? EDIT: What kind of thermals does it get playing a triple A title game online? GTA V, PUBG, Overwatch etc. I want to know to see if I should buy a cooler for this when I purchase mine.
My title says difference between G3, G5 and G7 ...? I will test several games, will record all temps and frequencies and show some gameplay in my full review. I will undervolt and overclock the GPU too.
Hi there! I'm considering getting either this for $1200 (16 GB ram) or the 7577 (same specs but with i7 7th gen) for $1100. What do you think? Which should I choose? Also, does the i7 8th gen make that much of a difference?
Hi there ! In gaming you won't see much difference at all. I encourage you watch my full review with all my benchmarks...ruclips.net/video/Vq9ACOFApr4/видео.html But for the sake of $100 I would swing for the futureproofing of the six core. You never know when you may take advantage of the extra cores say 5 years from now..
i like the design so much and i really want this laptop but its not available in Europe, there is only G3 and G5 in EU. Do u know if they are the same design as the G7?
The G5 is the same as the 7567 , the G3 I thought looked a bit cheaper than both the G5 and G7 and by all accounts runs about 10 deg warmer, but its still a solid machine. I think they share the same panels. The design isn't that much different though. I like the Alpine white and its blue accents, even on the heat sinks.
Returned a new Alienware 17R4 & bought the top configuration G3 17 and it's performing wonderfully with the near identical config as this review. The G Series has the smart balance of solid performance, reasonable cost, and real power - BUT believe me when I tell you that the low contrast BLUE ONLY KEYBOARD PRETTY MUCH SUCKS. Never mind that the actual size of the keys are smaller than all the rest of the Inspiron line; I'm getting mega headache inducing eyestrain trying to see the near zero contrast dull blue on black keys & the non-adjustable blue back-light works as little more than a decoration. This unfortunate lighting choice is a really significant design Faux Pas that ruins the almost perfect balance of this machine. Went to great lengths to find a replacement keyboard, but after hours of effort with Dell CS was told that within the entire Dell universe there isn't a single replacement keyboard component with normal WHITE letters/back-lighting for this machine.
One thing that really bothers me about the 7577, which shares the same keyboard as the 7567, is that it doesn't get very bright. Could you take a video in the dark with both of the laptops keyboards at max settings? Thanks in advance.
samtherat6 my 7000 gaming laptop has the tn panel and that sucked, lol. I can confirm that this G7 is only half as bright as the Aero 15w..I have measured brightness settings all the way down to 25%. Viewing angles aren't great nor is visibility with light reflections 🤣
The G5 is teh same as the 7577 but with a six core CPU and the G7 differes in styling only. I like the style of the G7 best and mine performed well. Given the choice I would go with the i7 8750h CPU as it does help in games versus the i5 8300h. The i5 8300h is still faster than the previous i7 7700hq though.
Thank You For Replying, I will Check The Stores around me, Hope i Find The G7 If i dont, I will Go for the 7567 because i saw it In one of the stores here :)
A sincere question , i hardly feel software using present 7th gen to max, most of apps still use one core or two.. very few games use all cores.. only apps i saw using all were transcoding / rendering apps. What are your views about performance differences between 7th and 8gen.? Is it worth the hype?
The new Dell G3's G5's and G7's options were really well thought out. There are compromises everywhere and they really catered for a variety of needs with different pairing of processors, ram options, gpu's and storage. I was really trying hard to analyse and find a loophole in their options but my god, while there are good value options available, there are no clear winning options. Dell pricing has won over my brain and respect
Yes, they do provide quite a spread of machines at various cost levels. What I like in this line in particular is the ease of getting in and doing upgrades. One screw. Nice and easy. Would have liked two m.2 slots but guess they have to cut costs somewhere. 6 cores at this price range is very good.
Yes at the cost they're very attractive. As a student, I think they really targeted students with this line up and they did great. Making the 1060 max-q relatively affordable (as I thought I might have never been able to afford it on other laptops before) and providing the 1050 Ti as solid very respectable budget options. Hats off Dell!
Thanks for the sub Jonathan ! So far it is not throttling (in games anyway) and its running on par to the 1060 in the Aero 15w. Not bad for $800 less :)
exklim Tech News That's great because I was having a hard time looking for a laptop and I think I will buy that version of the g7 for $1080 to use for school and moderate gaming. Only shortfall is that it's 2 sticks of 4gb ram, so upgrading it to 16gb in the future will require swapping both sticks out. But nonetheless great value otherwise I think.
Can you please review the dell g3 15? I want to purchase it as my first laptop. And can you tell if it's easy to upgrade the laptop? (Specifically the memory, is nvme ssd compatible?)
Hi Nofil, I can't afford to buy the G3 as well I'm afraid. It will be just as easy as the G7 I imagine. I will open up the G7 and look at upgrade options and report back if the SSD slot is PCIe compatable.
exklim Tech News okay thank you so much 😃 and thanks for the video I have been waiting quite a long time for such a detailed one. Looking forward to the full review.
exklim Tech News Thanks so much for this review... Wow that IS loud! I’m considering getting this for Music production , not gaming so I’m hoping the fans won’t be whirring as loudly . I’m leaning toward a souped up g3 because of the larger 17.3 display option
I would go for one with the six core i7 8750h CPU. The GTX 1060 helps a lot in the likes of Adobe Premiere Pro , I imagine the 1050ti will be similar. Here is my full review: ruclips.net/video/Vq9ACOFApr4/видео.html
Hey Steve, i think you've made enough laptop videos to reach out to those interested and reviewing fancy gadgets might be more attracting at this point. Laptops are expensive to buy too. Just my thought 💭.
I find that no one wants to watch any of my other videos...If you go through my videos you will see the viewing figures. Even my 38" gaming monitor only has about 300 views - not worth the time and money... Don't get me wrong I will still mix things up. I have the DJI Osimo mobile cell phone selfie device to review.
Sgt. Keyboard Warrior it's tough, I do want to branch out. Tried phones and that didn't really pan out, tried a monitor and same thing. Tried keyboards and headphones ditto. I do have my Skullcandy headphones I want to do . If you have any suggestions let me know, I'll give anything a shot 😀
Is this the same design (same material etc ) and have all the same ports as the g5 15 ? Cause I was aiming to buy the g5 15 but there doenst seem to be anyone reviewing it atm
I'm afraid I don't know Alun, sorry. Someone said last week the G7 still wasn't so I suppose the same is true of the G5. I'm sure it will be soon though.
OWNorDisown No worries, thanks for your help! If you were looking at buying the 7577 would you wait for the G5? It's mostly the newer CPU that attracted me to the G5 over the 7700HQ in the 7577
Unless you can save say a 100 pound or more and your use is primarily gaming I would stick with the new CPU, it helps in other tasks you might do as well as multi task, like recording a game whilst playing and doing something else in the back ground. It makes it more futureproof.
what is the difference between the 1050 and 1060? is there a significant effect on performance? Also my country offers i5 or i7, what's the difference?
Really wish they offered that color scheme for my 7577 I just bought a few weeks ago hate Red but got a great deal picked mine up for $849 from Dell which list for $1,099 but mine has the i5 7300 8bg ram 128ssd boot 1tb hdd and 1060maxQ! Love the performance just wish they would have had the Blue accent and keyboard lighting!
Gautam Garg i picked it up about 2 weeks ago now i went to PC world site and they had a link to it but it was on Dells site under special deals or special offers when i got mine it said 88% had already been claimed. Before i come across that one they also had one almost exactly the same only difference was it had a 256ssd where mine has the 128ssd boot and 1tb hdd it was like $949 on sale it list for $1,049 so it was just a touch cheaper list price to list price then mine!
How to make the max q 1060 perform the same as the 1060. Can u test fps for pubg fortnite league of legends rainbow 6 siege and overwatch? can u test the digital storm triton laptop 2018?
From G5 and G7 service manuals, I think G7 has better heat exhaust port, or fin, what ever they called. The photo of page 60(G7 manual) and Page 62(G5 manual) are slightly different. Can you check your G7 heat exhaust port(fin) size or shape are same as Dell's G7 manual? If it does, I can happily make choice to go G7!!
Its hard to make out details on that manual. I have shot footage of its internals and also used a thermal camera to show the heat exhaust - it shows the heat being pushed far away from the CPU side. It's temps are very good, no throttling even when I overclock the CPU and GPU. I am hoping to get the review up this weekend, so stay tuned !
III III you are correct, the Aero 15w is definitely brighter. I'll be measuring brightness and color accuracy tonight. Doing battery test right now. Stay tuned !
dkimmortal its held up fairly well on my inspiron 15 7000 gaming but that is only about a year old. It does seem rather flimsy though. I would definitely open it up from the center .
I like the look of the GS65 stealth with GTX 1070. I have finished all my testing on the Aero 15w and it runs hot when gaming, even with the mx fan. Definitely need an undervolt. The G7 performs on par and is cooler. That review up this weekend too.
Hi, could you please let me know the dimensions of the shipping box for the G7? I want to ship it to Australia, but there limitations on the box dimensions allowed for my re-shipping service. Thanks.
exklim Tech News So should I get that OLED AW 13 or this Dell G7? What’s better for a long term desktop replacement for a college student to use for about 3 years?
hello exklim, i just bought dell 15 7559 i5 6300 hq at 55k indian money and after watching G3 ,G5 i feel depressed, is 7559 still better? any comments?
According to this it says max 1.73 Gbps. When I am downloading my games I get 22 MB/s , which is probably the fastest I have seen with my internet service. www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/wireless/wireless-products/dual-band-wireless-ac-9560.html
Haven't tested yet but first impressions its OK, not great. Viewing angles are not as good as the Aero 15w I am testing at the same time. Not as bright either. Better than the TN panel I had on my inspiron 7000 gaming :)
Chadane Campbell nice! You'll like it. No throttling at all. Have you used Throttlestop before ? Great way to vastly improve the CPU performance. Faster than a desktop i7 7700k overclocked to 4.7 ghz. Amazing really
Best Buy sell it: www.bestbuy.com/site/dell-g-series-15-6-laptop-intel-core-i7-16gb-memory-nvidia-geforce-gtx-1060-128gb-ssd-1tb-hdd-licorice-black/6212435.p?skuId=6212435
I have been literally searching for something like this informative since they launch the products. Thanks man.
Thanks Asif ! Let me know if there is anything you want me to cover in the full review :)
exklim Tech News a in depth comparison with 7567 AND 7577 would be a pure hit!
And please do a separate gaming performance as well.
This series since the 7577 has been such a great hit. Across nearly every SKU the bang for the buck it’s just always there. You don’t have to wait for a sale, you can just grab it go and know that you got a pretty sweet deal.
I dig the alpine white! Now in a lot of these the fingerprint reader is actually built in to the power button. Is that the case on this?
Hey bob ! Yes, its a very successful series. Good value. No finger print reader or Windows hello I'm afraid :(
Only the G5 has the fingerprint sensor, as it shares the same exact chassis as the 7577.
samtherat6 Good to know. I can confirm the G7 I have in my possession does not feature Windows Hello either.
This info is not correct. According to the G5 user manual, there is no Finger Print reader in G5 or in G7.
Hmm, when I read the original articles when they announced the G series, I'm seeing repeated references to a fingerprint sensor on the G5.
Thanks for posting great videos on the G7. Ive ordered the 1399$ model with all the bells and whistles. comes Tuesday! Been roving the internet to sate my excitement, so thanks for helping!
any chance for a comment on the track pad? good texture? good or bad click?
Conor Tanji yeh, trackpads feels great. Much better than the Aero 15w. Speakers are good. Their software is good for that. Just loaded games on , will start testing tomorrow 😀
Please let me know how you like it.i was thinking about this model too but no fingerprint reader is kinda hard to accept.it was just awesome and futuristic.so I'm back now trying to save for the 7577
Thanks for replying! I’ll let you know what I think! Less then 24 hours till I got it. If you don’t mind me jumping from one video comment to another, you mentioned undervolting the Aero -150w. Have you undervolted the G7? What kind of results have you had good results with? Is it necessary? I’ve seen decent reviews on the G7s temps. I’m looking forward to twiddling with all the settings and seeing what I can get out of it.
Hey guys. So I've had my G7 for almost a week now and I'm loving it. I've got the $1399 model with 4k screen and what not. Battery life isn't great as to be expected, im getting about 2.25-2.75 hours while actively using it for web surfing and Netflix. I'm no tech wizard but like to fiddle around a bit. I've undervolted it a bit and getting pretty good results. running most games on high that are online multiplayer like PUBG, but max on offline games. So far no real complaints. I know it doesn't have a fingerprint reader but to me, that seriously isn't a big deal.
@exklim Id love to see a video on how your overclocking and undervolting went. If you could include a quick screen shot of you're settings that'd be awesome to! I'm sure I can push more out of this beast but since I'm not a big techy, I've just pushed a little.
Also, Have you seen the video/ messed around with the difference in CPU power while the laptop is unplugged vs when its plugged in? I'm regularly seeing 4.0 while plugged in but usually half at 2.0 while its unplugged. Any way around this that you know of? I've messed with performance settings to get a bit more power out of it but not having much luck.
Solid looking gaming laptop, no ridiculous red labels and LED stuff on the case, so rare thing these days in the gaming category.
Vladimir Y yes, definitely. That is good to see I agree 😀
Thanks for the info, subbed! Liked the comparison between the lot. Here in the UK you can get a new Inspiron 7000 gaming with 1060max-q. Guessing it's the G7 in all but title.
Looking forward to your benchmarks
Lachlan Bursle Thanks for the sub! Yes, pretty much the same apart from the CPU. Opened it up last night to put 9i n a hard drive. Easy to upgrade. Shared heat pipe design so I expect I will have to undervolt it but I think it has quite beefy heatsinks. Thanks for the sub !
@exklim Tech News... G5, G7 are pretty much same as Dell 7577 in terms of chassis, there are just slightly difference in color accent and exhaust cover style. However, G3 is kind of new to Dell gaming laptops family, even though its chassis is not totally new, but should be light weighted. I personally think more and more gamers would be interested in DELL G3.
So if you can do full review of DELL G3, it would attack more audience.
Yes, a bunch of people have been asking about the G3. Thing is, Dell told me it would be 3 months to get a sample so I bought this and plan on selling it. I also bought the xps 15 2-1 , do you expect many views on that one?
Yes, I think people would be interested in finding out more details about xps 15 2-1.
Aquarius Qu ok, cool. I'll keep the order in there then. I'm personally interested in it too
exklim Tech News how much u selling that? XD
Why would gamers prefer the G3 over the G5 and G7? Doesn't the G5 and G7 design provide better cooling?
Such a beautiful design.. I wish there was a touchscreen option, OLED display, bigger battery life would make it look even cooler. 🎮✨
Yes, and a fingerprint reader. Shame the battery is so small
exklim And I think the finger reader would have been the icing on the cake.i don't understand why they left this out
touch screen is useless for a gaming laptop tho
OWNorDisown
aw man they removed the finger print scanner? what a shame :/
Thanks for sharing the basics on the differences between the G series of Dell computers. I was wondering about them while I was shopping on the Dell web site. My old Inspiron (from 2011) is finally wearing away a bit. It still works, but the battery has finally died, as I get a warning every time I turn it on. So, I have to leave it plugged in to power it. I guess it is time for something new and this video has helped, so thanks again!
Glad it helped you. Please be sure to check out reviews on the G3 and G7 too, I go quite in depth and should answer most questions you have on them :)
Looking forward to the full review of this. That’ll help me decide between this or the Alienware 13 OLED for a college and gaming laptop. Great video as always
Awesome review! Thank you for doing it. You're one of my favorite tech reviewers.
Thanks Julian ! I'm testing it now and I must say I am very pleased. No throttling, decent temps and great performance for a reasonable price. Will be undervolting and overclocking it. Stay tuned for the full review :)
Great channel! Thank you for the great work... subscribed and turned the notifications on!
Can i give only one constructive feedback? Try to keep the computers in a better shape and clean them before recording, so they look nicer when you are recording. :)
I got a Gaming 7000 one month ago, im enjoying it very much, really silent and fast, but i had to change the screen settings to achieve something better to use. Takes a while to get used to it, but overall, its great!
JESUS MAN!!! You liked almost every comment,now that is what i call determination
I just liked one more !
Finally a well priced laptop with great performance and an option to move away from the red and black design! I really love the white base with blue trim, its not common and seems to look proper when you bring it to work and meetings. I'm a bit worried about the flex on the screen, is this laptop durable enough? The screen looks dark, perhaps the UHD model is better. How is the keyboard? I've tried out the previous version and it felt small and shallow. Nice review and really appreciate how detailed it is!
Thanks William ! The keyboard feels as if it has slightly more travel than the 7000 gaming, not much though, although I would say the space bar seems to have a bit more. It performs like a champ. The biggest weakness is its mediocre screen. Nearly done all my testing. The full review will be up probably at the weekend. Lots of details, but my summary is that it is a great value laptop and the 1060 maq Q runs as well as the standard version and the laptop runs cool.
Glad to hear your findings! Will be staying tuned for your full review. I'm really interested on getting this laptop and my only concern is the monitor, but if it runs cool even on load then I'm happy. A lot of gaming laptops I see today try to cram a lot of performance in small cases but their temperatures tend to go beyond 80 degrees C.
Yes, indeed and the Aero 15w is testament to that. Gaming it gets to 90+ degrees, the fan blades and heat sinks are small. The G7 is much better in this regard. sRGB is 61%, NTSC 46% if I recall and AdobeRGB abut 44%. Brightness isn't great either. Battery life 4 hrs 48 mins, which isn't great but is enough for a couple of movies. Thanks for taking the time to comment :)
90 degrees on a laptop to me sounds insane and really concerning! Glad to hear the G7 fairs better, will wait for your full review. Battery life of 4 hours is okay since I expected about 3 hours. Really appreciate the technical details and the way you review laptops!
i bought 2 dell gaming 7577 for my office 6 months ago for about 850$ each . they have better specs and the price is just better than XPS or latitude ( most XPS come with intel U processors, and their performance sucks compared to HQ lineup). The only bad thing was the black and red combination, which is pretty bad for an office, but seems like my boss didn't care much about that. My next purchase might be this one or the G3, both are priced right i just hope they are as reliable as last gen
I'm mainly going to use this on my education, at home I can plug it into my current monitor and sit back.
The irony is that this laptop is probably 5x as powerful as my current desktop.
So I could potentially throw that one out and use its 1TB harddrive.
It is amazing the power of this laptop. It may be a Max Q 1060 but it performs on par with a regular one and it does not throttle. The 1080p panel is not the best for sure but at this price range it is great value really. I hope to have my full review up this weekend!
I still think "Exklim tech news" just doesn't have the same ring as "OWNorDISOWN". It just sounds a lot more generic like any of the other channels branded "tech news".
RANDOM NAME I'm with you. I'll see how the excore gets on. If it doesn't do well or I dont get samples from other folks I will revert back 😀
the rest of the laptop looks nice but too much bezel makes the screen look like it is from a laptop made in 2000.
knockonyourbackdoor a little bit old school m8 xD
Yes, I agree. Shame really as everything else looks so nice. It must be because they wanted a big chassis to cool the CPU especially if one does come out with that i9
I really love the 7567 in the back. I couldn't find anymore in Dell's website.
Yes, it is a nice computer.
Excellent review yet again nicely done and thx for posting.
Hey Chris mate, thanks for watching. How have you been?
exklim Tech News fine Steven..watching and trying to create videos here too 😀
Awesome videos! Try running two 4K displays off the Thunderbolt 3 port, I'm really curious to see that :)
Luide Mulumba I wish I had two 4k displays. Got one 38 " 3840 x 1600.
After I watched lot of review, u r the only one who complain about length of power cable.
But very nice review sir, thank u.
Sujiro Hitto Thanks ! I'll go into much more detail in my full review, stay tuned 😀
I don’t know if it’s me but I was watching Dave Lee’s review on this laptop and his laptop looked much bigger and bulkier. Your laptop looks much thinner and nicer and great review by the way!
Thanks Tim ! Did Dave have the white one too? Perhaps I should wear white more often and slim down my gut :)
OWNorDisown Haha! Yes, he has the white/blue laptop and it looks great! I just purchased this and I can’t wait to try it out.
Thank you for the video, you're doing an excellent job. Can you please include some details about the battery life in your next video?
Andres Gonzalez yep, will do. 4 hours 48 min
exklim Tech News thank you very much!
What applications were you using during the battery test?
spenceman123456789 in my battery test all I do is stream my RUclips videos from 100% to 7%, screen brightness 25%, battery and power saver on. Do the same test on all my laptops
Love the channel..Always on top of things, I picked up the Dell 15 7000 with I-5 7300 hq and 256 GB ssd with 1060 max q, from the Dell outlet for under 750 dollars with a 1 year premium warranty. I THINK THE PRICES FOR THE NEW 8TH GEN CPU ARE RIDICULOUS really not worth the extra. My thoughts anyway.
Thanks! Great deal :) Yes, that Dell 15 7000 is still an awesome laptop !
I was looking for that laptop, but fully maxed out with the 4k panel. Although it looks cheap and lot of plastic allaround I care most about the performance and it not to hrottling under heavy work. I want it for very intensive audio editing and code programming. Would love if you can try it intensively and talk about performance and how long the battery last in a daily use. All the best!
Will do Heraldo ! I intend to stress out the CPU and see if I can get it to turbo higher than the 3.9 Ghz. I will OC the GPU too and record all power usages and temps.
The reason for the max Turbo at 3.9ghz is because is the max speed for the six cores at same time, so Dell try to force the laptop to work with all cores together, instead of reaching (just) a little bit higher frequency but with less cores. Smart move IMO in most of the situations thinking 99% of the actual software take advantage of the multicore and mutilthreading :)
So far the Aero 15 maxes out at 4093 Mhz on all 6 cores...
Hi. Great video! You are the best tech youtuber.. Keep fighting bro.
This laptop looks good. But against helios 300 2018 who is the best machine?
Thanks mate ! The Helios 300 was the faster machine and it was quite quiet too. I was impressed with the thermals and noise levels on the G7 and did prefer its look over the Helios 300. Probably the nod goes to the Helios but if the G7 is much cheaper and you get two sticks of RAM its worth snapping up. Here is my review on it ruclips.net/video/Vq9ACOFApr4/видео.html
I guess I’ll go with the G7 as I am struggling to find a difference between the G5 model. I have a 7567 with the red color scheme, so a white/blue color scheme on a laptop would be pretty nice.
Tim Lindelöf yeh, there is negligible difference between the G5 and G7. I liked the Alpine white model. I just bought the G3 so will review that too. Thanks for watching.
this was vey helpfull for me thank you so much
You are welcome :)
Nice unboxing !
Can't wait to see its performance. and that weird 3.9 turbo boost..
it seems like the new 8th gen cpu always run hot about 90 on both MSI and aero 15x and even on the new asus M laptop, i need a laptop that can handle heat issue because heat is what kills laptops life and performance. This laptop is a bit thicker and heavier and the bezels is another story lol. Regardless hope it has better thermal management.
and for the new CPU how much can we undervolt and will it improve thermals and performance ?
Abdulaziz Alpha The Aero 15w , in my testing so far does throttle even at about 88 deg. I'm sure an undervolt on that will help.
I'm sure the cooling is better on the G7, will open it up and show you as well as undervolt too. I want to see if I can get it to boost to 4.1 like the Aero 15w. I'll go into the BIOS too and show any settings that are worthwhile. .
Keep doing dell bro views are so good :)
So in conclusion should we buy G3 or g5 ??
It's a good and informative video. You should have added some sample gaming so that it could be a comprehensive review and unboxing. Anyway, thanks.
Thanks. My main objective on my unboxings is to notify my viewers that I have the laptop and will do a full review. I will be doing gaming as well as CPU tests like video encoding, photo manipulation, video editing. I measure all temps, average and max operating frequencies, battery life. I overclock and undervolt. Stay tuned for my full review :)
exklim Tech News That's great! Also, I just became a subscriber. Keep up the good work!
MicrominiX Thanks for the sub mate !
Hey man I love the vid 💙. I just wanna ask if I should opt for the G3 over a Dell 7577 with 1060 Max Q. Buying a laptop and I just cant decide :(
Hey mate, just answered on another thread - I would opt for the GTX 1060 Max Q.
If ever Dell releases a 1060 Max Q version of the G3, should I consider it or still stick with the 7577
Hey great review been looking at the dell 7000 series for months now , any idea on the price delivered to the UK ?
Chris Wallis Hey Chris , thanks, glad you liked it. I've done all my benchmarks, just got to some filming and comparison benchmarks on the 1050ti on the 7000 gaming . Full review this weekend. I'm afraid I dont know the UK price as I live in the USA, sorry !
No worries thanks for the quick reply , looking forward to the full review
Waiting for your review on the Alienware 15/17 2018 with the six core H series processor mate. Great review btw! Thanks for posting.
Cheers mate ! Hideveolution are sending me two MSI's next week. I will ask them for an Alienware once I am done as Dell said it would be like 3 months..
Hi, Thanks for the review!
Questions:
1. What is the exact brand and model of the included 256GB SSD?
2. Is the keyboard the same unpleasant one (very low key travel, no proper tactile feedback) as the one in the 7577?
3. What is the exact FHD screen brand and model (Aida64 or similar software can tell it) ?
Thanks
he SSD is a Micron 1100 SATA 3. Monitor ID is LGD053F, LG Philips LP156WF6 (Dell 4XK13). 60hz
Keyboard does feel as it has slightly better travel, not a huge difference though. Space bar is more noticeable.
Hope that helps !
Getting ready to watch it! 😋
don't fall asleep :)
never :)
I've been scouring the web for extensive review of the G series, it's yet to launch in my country and I look forward to this. I was going to buy a 7567 but held off on it for the 8th gen processors this series offers. Could you please do a G5 vs G7 comparison? They both offer similar specs except for the i9 in the G7 so I'm genuinely confused.
Hi mate, thanks for watching my video. Yeh, they are confusing. Apart from that i9 they are basically the same. The styling of the G5 is the same as the 7000 gaming of last year which I show in this video. I tried to show it in my Pax East video - did you watch that?
exklim Tech News thanks a lot, lovely video. Will stay tuned to this channel!
Cheers !
hey very nice review, im looking for some help, i cant decide on getting the 7577 gtx 1060 max q, some reviews say it´s great, but i´ve seen people complaining about ports and screen, what do you think? also i saw a version that says Dell i7577, what´s the difference between this and normal 7577? thank you.
Juan RD from what I can see the i7577 and 7577 are exactly the same. It does get very confusing because when I bought mine when they first came out there was no thunderbolt port, no IPS screen and only a 1050ti max. In the 7577 that has all changed.
The difference between. The G5 is mainly the inclusion of the six core i7 8750h CPU which will give you about 40 to 50% improvement on multithreaded tasks.
Hey man, first of all thanks for the video. I have been waiting for RUclipsrs to make some reviews on these laptops. I just have some tips for you to make your channel better.
First, for being an unboxing, the video was honestly too long. I would say try to make these kinds of videos shorter and instead of them being "unboxing" videos make them "first impressions" videos as many other big RUclipsrs out there do. It would be great if you just got to the point and showed the contents that came out the box, unless the unboxing is something very very special and has a great presentation. 5 minutes for a first impression video is on the sweet spot. Remember here, the shorter the video the more likely people are to click on it.
Another thing, it'd be great if you had more time focusing on the laptop than you speaking, don't get this wrong, it's great if you show your face at the beginning of the video and at the end. Try to change the views and angles of the product as you talk about it. I would have wanted to see the laptop up close a few more times from different angles.
Talking about angles, looking at the laptop from the top with the laptop upside down at 2:14 was just a little bit off, it would have been great to see the laptop the way you would look at it when you are using it normally, form the top front view
Adding some animations to your videos would be great, if you were to add animations when you talk about ports that would make your videos even better. What I am saying is instead if showing your arms covering half of the screen, get a good shot of the laptop and when you say "mini display port" show some kind of animation that you like on that specific port pop up. This always add an edge to the video and shows the viewer that you are putting effort into your videos
Anyways, I know this is not a full review and as stated 12 minutes for a simple unboxing is too long, save some of that energy for the main review, but these tips apply to any kind of video. I hope your channel keep growing. Good luck!
Juan Perez Thanks for the tips. I did contemplate calling it first impressions. Unboxtherapy shows unboxing and he is a big channel.
I take your point about showing stuff come out if the box. Perhaps just start with what's in it.
In my full review I will show more of the laptop from different angles etc. Remember, this isnt the review, its main purpose is to show my viewers that a review will be coming up on it but I want to show more details than just "hey, this is what is in the box". It's an ideal time to show it against competing laptops and in this case its predecessor
Thanks for watching and taking the time to post a comment 😀
Yeah, I agree with most points. I missed the close up shots, I know these things are available on the official website, but when you are listing I/O ports it helps to have some visual points of reference. I quite like how MKBHD does it, it neednt be a video, could be a high res image being panned as well.
U K remember this is an unboxing..believe me my full review will he crammed with lots of info. More than you see on other channels. I record everything, av and max clock speeds, av and max wattage, power pull from the wall, temps, undervolting, overclocking, multi tasking performance, video editing . Not just gaming. The IO ports I will panned photo shots.
Yo! Can you do a thermal review on the AW 17 R5 and 15 R4?
love the channel ☮️❤️
paul reeves cheers Paul ! Yes, as soon as I can get my hands on I will 😀
exklim Tech News sweet tyvm 👌Do you think i9 8950hk is enough juice to run and eGPU with an 1180 for decent mobile VR?
Easily mate. Even an i7 7700hq is good enough. Do you have the Windows Mixed Reality Headset ? Its great for total mobile VR. I tried it outside once :)
When can we expect the full review? Great video btw!
Thanks Mate ! I have to get the Aero 15w done first, Gigabyte has only given me a week to do it. I filmed inside the G7 and putting a HDD in last night, pretty much all games are on now so while I do battery test on Aero 15w today I will do game tests on the Dell today. I suspect perhaps the weekend.
exklim Tech News Will be looking forward to it! If you have it, could you please benchmark some CPU heavy games like Assassins Creed Origins? I want to see how the 8th gen CPUs effects gaming performance on those types of games.
xerader123 I have benched PUBG, BF1, Rainbow six Siege, Rise of the Tomb Raider, Far Cry 5 and Timespy. Cinebench, handbrake, Adobe Light Room, I also want to do some video editing, and a multitasking test.
I wish Apple could do this. Cut packaging costs and put the extra money into the device itself.
Yes definitely, all my boxes get shoved in a closet until I sell the unit. No frills packaging makes sense. dell is also quite proud of the recyclability aspect which is nice
@OWNorDisown did you buy it directly from dell ?
It was just released in denmark on dell dk for 1145 usd but they bumped up the price to 1300 usd two days after. A shame... was really considering it as my new uni laptop... My x200 can't really run maple, R, eclipse and such very well.
ScrattleGG that's sneaky..do they run 10% off coupons like they do in the USA ?
OWNorDisown hmm. They kinda do. They're really weird about their prices. I do enjoyed a 10% student discount though
I know you have the 1080p version, but any idea on what the screen quality is like for the 4k option? I'm curious about the color reproduction on it for media work.
And also, what are the speeds like for the hard drive? I heard it supports NVMe PCIe but the included drive is actually SATA...
I got 516 MB/s Read and 228 MB/s Write. It is a PCIe slot so you can swap it out with a faster SSD if you wish. I will show all the innards this weekend in my review :) I'm afraid I don't know what the 4k is like, it must be better than the 1080p as the colour accuracy and brightness are sub standard...
exklim Tech News will you have to flash windows again because it's installed on the SSD right?
You can clone the SSD. I use Casper: www.fssdev.com/products/casper/
You will have to buy a USB C to PCIe m.2 adapter to put the second SSD in to as there is only one slot in the laptop..
Great video, thank you.
Thanks! So far in my testing it is working like a champ. No throttling at all.
I'm planning on buying the 16gb version with 1060 for making videos.. I work mostly with FHD and some 4k.. Could you please use this one to edit your next video and let us know how good it is?
I'm going to include a test using my Magix editing software.. You can set all the multipliers to 4.1 Ghz and increase the turbo power limit to get a good 15% increase in some apps like Handbrake encoding. I'm quite impressed so far :)
First impressions on this? I may buy for my first gaming laptop. I’ll probably be streaming and gaming too. Will this be a good investment?
Yes, I truly think it is very good. It runs cool out the box. No fan control but its not needed. Performance is top notch. On the most part matches the Aero 15w that I am testing at the same time with a regular 1060 and its cooler to boot. I have OC the CPU to get 1264 on Cinebench R15 and reduce my handbrake encode from 32 mins to 28 mins. Speakers are good. Easy to get into. I put a hard drive in, took 5 mins. Full review coming !
exklim Tech News Thanks man! Appreciate your speediness on replying you got a sub from me!
Cheers mate !
I’m going to be ordering mine in summer, if the i9 is available by then, is that something you would recommend, or would you suggest sticking with the i7?
If the cooling is upto it the i9 would be great. I have heard some people getting 4.7 Ghz on all 6 cores. Lets see how hot this one gets in my tests. Stay tuned :)
thanks!
Just ordered the same exact laptop two days ago. Hope the color gamut is slightly better than the 7577.
Jahvel P the colour accuracy is poor but the display is better than the TN panel I had on my 7000 gaming laptop. All in all it's a great laptop. Performs fast and cool.
Ive been looking at this personally configured with a 256 SSD and 1TB HDD & 16GB of Ram. Gonna use it for College and light gaming but here in Canada its about 1699. A similar MSI/Omen etc are about 1499. Hoping it goes on sale but not holding my breathe. Maybe a back to school SSD.
James Flynn Dell often have good coupon sales. July 4th should be a good time to save money probably.
James Flynn I’m on the same boat as you, so what did u end up getting and how’s the performance?
I went with a full fledged Alienware 17 with the 6 core CPU.. I figured Id spend the extra cash and honestly i can use it for any Blizzard game at 60 FPS. It cost a bit more but will last me for years. So far so good on performance. Its certainly an eye catcher too. I did order a Cooling pad (CMU3) to go with it now and it helps with temperatures. Overall certainly over priced but Im hoping to get 3 year or so out of it. Cheers.
@@choocharoo nice ! Very nice laptop. I'm a big fan of the cooling pad, I have the same one 😀
bought a G3, the 17 inch option sold me
Nice !
Your title is confusing you are comparing the G7 to the G7?
EDIT: What kind of thermals does it get playing a triple A title game online? GTA V, PUBG, Overwatch etc. I want to know to see if I should buy a cooler for this when I purchase mine.
My title says difference between G3, G5 and G7 ...?
I will test several games, will record all temps and frequencies and show some gameplay in my full review. I will undervolt and overclock the GPU too.
Please review dell G3 16gb model. Many people's are waiting for that
Hi, I'm afraid I can't afford to buy that one as well. If Dell send me one I will...
Hi there! I'm considering getting either this for $1200 (16 GB ram) or the 7577 (same specs but with i7 7th gen) for $1100. What do you think? Which should I choose? Also, does the i7 8th gen make that much of a difference?
Hi there ! In gaming you won't see much difference at all. I encourage you watch my full review with all my benchmarks...ruclips.net/video/Vq9ACOFApr4/видео.html
But for the sake of $100 I would swing for the futureproofing of the six core. You never know when you may take advantage of the extra cores say 5 years from now..
Ok, thank you for the response! You got a new subscriber btw :)
Great! Thanks for the sub , appreciate the support :)
i like the design so much and i really want this laptop but its not available in Europe, there is only G3 and G5 in EU. Do u know if they are the same design as the G7?
The G5 is the same as the 7567 , the G3 I thought looked a bit cheaper than both the G5 and G7 and by all accounts runs about 10 deg warmer, but its still a solid machine. I think they share the same panels. The design isn't that much different though. I like the Alpine white and its blue accents, even on the heat sinks.
wich one do you recommend Inspiron 15 7000 or G5 ?
The G5 because of the 6 core CPU. More futureproof.
Returned a new Alienware 17R4 & bought the top configuration G3 17 and it's performing wonderfully with the near identical config as this review. The G Series has the smart balance of solid performance, reasonable cost, and real power - BUT believe me when I tell you that the low contrast BLUE ONLY KEYBOARD PRETTY MUCH SUCKS.
Never mind that the actual size of the keys are smaller than all the rest of the Inspiron line; I'm getting mega headache inducing eyestrain trying to see the near zero contrast dull blue on black keys & the non-adjustable blue back-light works as little more than a decoration.
This unfortunate lighting choice is a really significant design Faux Pas that ruins the almost perfect balance of this machine.
Went to great lengths to find a replacement keyboard, but after hours of effort with Dell CS was told that within the entire Dell universe there isn't a single replacement keyboard component with normal WHITE letters/back-lighting for this machine.
Thanks for sharing the info ! Yes, I heard that it can be a strain on the eyes. That sucks !
One thing that really bothers me about the 7577, which shares the same keyboard as the 7567, is that it doesn't get very bright. Could you take a video in the dark with both of the laptops keyboards at max settings? Thanks in advance.
samtherat6 my 7000 gaming laptop has the tn panel and that sucked, lol. I can confirm that this G7 is only half as bright as the Aero 15w..I have measured brightness settings all the way down to 25%. Viewing angles aren't great nor is visibility with light reflections 🤣
Hi, thanks for the response, I'm actually asking about the keyboard brightness between the red one of 7577 and blue one of G7.
samtherat6 sorry, my bad. I will film that now then 😀
samtherat6 red keyboard is brighter...
OK, awesome thank you!
Great video thanks
Thanks ! Make sure to watch my full review for more details:) ruclips.net/video/Vq9ACOFApr4/видео.html
I need some help...
Planing to get a dell, But witch should i go for?
The; inspiron 7567, inspiron 7577 or G7? Might even consider the G5
The G5 is teh same as the 7577 but with a six core CPU and the G7 differes in styling only. I like the style of the G7 best and mine performed well. Given the choice I would go with the i7 8750h CPU as it does help in games versus the i5 8300h. The i5 8300h is still faster than the previous i7 7700hq though.
Thank You For Replying, I will Check The Stores around me, Hope i Find The G7
If i dont, I will Go for the 7567 because i saw it In one of the stores here :)
Doing great, Any chance on the Alienware 15r4?
Junaid Hassan I hope so. Dell told me three months for a sample, that's why I bought this . Hopefully Hidevolution can send me one 😀
Hey Steven, thank you for the reply. I hope so I am planning on buying it, but want to wait for your review before buying it.
A sincere question , i hardly feel software using present 7th gen to max, most of apps still use one core or two.. very few games use all cores.. only apps i saw using all were transcoding / rendering apps. What are your views about performance differences between 7th and 8gen.? Is it worth the hype?
The new Dell G3's G5's and G7's options were really well thought out. There are compromises everywhere and they really catered for a variety of needs with different pairing of processors, ram options, gpu's and storage. I was really trying hard to analyse and find a loophole in their options but my god, while there are good value options available, there are no clear winning options. Dell pricing has won over my brain and respect
Yes, they do provide quite a spread of machines at various cost levels. What I like in this line in particular is the ease of getting in and doing upgrades. One screw. Nice and easy. Would have liked two m.2 slots but guess they have to cut costs somewhere. 6 cores at this price range is very good.
Yes at the cost they're very attractive. As a student, I think they really targeted students with this line up and they did great. Making the 1060 max-q relatively affordable (as I thought I might have never been able to afford it on other laptops before) and providing the 1050 Ti as solid very respectable budget options. Hats off Dell!
Great videos btw. I subbed!
Thanks for the sub Jonathan ! So far it is not throttling (in games anyway) and its running on par to the 1060 in the Aero 15w. Not bad for $800 less :)
exklim Tech News That's great because I was having a hard time looking for a laptop and I think I will buy that version of the g7 for $1080 to use for school and moderate gaming. Only shortfall is that it's 2 sticks of 4gb ram, so upgrading it to 16gb in the future will require swapping both sticks out. But nonetheless great value otherwise I think.
Can you please review the dell g3 15? I want to purchase it as my first laptop. And can you tell if it's easy to upgrade the laptop? (Specifically the memory, is nvme ssd compatible?)
Hi Nofil, I can't afford to buy the G3 as well I'm afraid. It will be just as easy as the G7 I imagine. I will open up the G7 and look at upgrade options and report back if the SSD slot is PCIe compatable.
exklim Tech News okay thank you so much 😃 and thanks for the video I have been waiting quite a long time for such a detailed one. Looking forward to the full review.
Just ordered the Alpine white version G7 myself, wish there was a 256gb SSD/1tb hd option with the 1060 but other than that I'm pumped for it :)
Awesome ! Yeh, they always skimp on storage .... easy enough to bang on in yourself though :) Enjoy it !
exklim Tech News Thanks so much for this review... Wow that IS loud! I’m considering getting this for Music production , not gaming so I’m hoping the fans won’t be whirring as loudly . I’m leaning toward a souped up g3 because of the larger 17.3 display option
Charles Telerant yes, that's a good idea. Thanks for watching.
The G3 or the 2017 1080p XPS 15? Which would you recommend for a college/gaming laptop (trying to stay around the $1k-1.1k range).
I think the G3 represents great value. You get the benefit of having two extra cores vs the XPS 15 which will make it more futureproof :)
exklim Tech News Thanks! Guess I'll be going for a full-spec'd G3 then! Hopefully the all plastic build will be good still.
What model would you recommend for video editing?
I would go for one with the six core i7 8750h CPU. The GTX 1060 helps a lot in the likes of Adobe Premiere Pro , I imagine the 1050ti will be similar. Here is my full review: ruclips.net/video/Vq9ACOFApr4/видео.html
Hey Steve, i think you've made enough laptop videos to reach out to those interested and reviewing fancy gadgets might be more attracting at this point. Laptops are expensive to buy too. Just my thought 💭.
I find that no one wants to watch any of my other videos...If you go through my videos you will see the viewing figures. Even my 38" gaming monitor only has about 300 views - not worth the time and money... Don't get me wrong I will still mix things up. I have the DJI Osimo mobile cell phone selfie device to review.
exklim Tech News good point. Maybe i was being biased because I don't usually watch laptop reviews since i already own a gaming hardware.
Sgt. Keyboard Warrior it's tough, I do want to branch out. Tried phones and that didn't really pan out, tried a monitor and same thing. Tried keyboards and headphones ditto. I do have my Skullcandy headphones I want to do . If you have any suggestions let me know, I'll give anything a shot 😀
Is this the same design (same material etc ) and have all the same ports as the g5 15 ? Cause I was aiming to buy the g5 15 but there doenst seem to be anyone reviewing it atm
The port layout is exactly the same as the G7, its just the chassis styling that is different...
Was looking at the 7577 until I saw this range, is the G5 available in the UK yet do you know?
I'm afraid I don't know Alun, sorry. Someone said last week the G7 still wasn't so I suppose the same is true of the G5. I'm sure it will be soon though.
OWNorDisown No worries, thanks for your help! If you were looking at buying the 7577 would you wait for the G5? It's mostly the newer CPU that attracted me to the G5 over the 7700HQ in the 7577
Unless you can save say a 100 pound or more and your use is primarily gaming I would stick with the new CPU, it helps in other tasks you might do as well as multi task, like recording a game whilst playing and doing something else in the back ground. It makes it more futureproof.
OWNorDisown Thanks, I'll bear that in mind!
what is the difference between the 1050 and 1060? is there a significant effect on performance? Also my country offers i5 or i7, what's the difference?
a larger number usually means it is faster.
Lets take Rise of the Tomb Raider as an example. A GTX 1050 gives 32 FPS at 1080p, max settings, whilst a GTX 1060 around 69 fps.
Really wish they offered that color scheme for my 7577 I just bought a few weeks ago hate Red but got a great deal picked mine up for $849 from Dell which list for $1,099 but mine has the i5 7300 8bg ram 128ssd boot 1tb hdd and 1060maxQ! Love the performance just wish they would have had the Blue accent and keyboard lighting!
Keyota27's DC5 yes, yours is more than capable and you got a good deal there. A gtx 1060 below $900 is awesome . Thanks for watching.
exklim Tech News thank you and thank you for the reply btw great video good work for sure!👍🏽
Where can I grab that deal?
Gautam Garg i picked it up about 2 weeks ago now i went to PC world site and they had a link to it but it was on Dells site under special deals or special offers when i got mine it said 88% had already been claimed. Before i come across that one they also had one almost exactly the same only difference was it had a 256ssd where mine has the 128ssd boot and 1tb hdd it was like $949 on sale it list for $1,049 so it was just a touch cheaper list price to list price then mine!
Thanks for the detailed help!
How to make the max q 1060 perform the same as the 1060. Can u test fps for pubg fortnite league of legends rainbow 6 siege and overwatch? can u test the digital storm triton laptop 2018?
Please see my full review: ruclips.net/video/Vq9ACOFApr4/видео.html
THANK YOU!
From G5 and G7 service manuals, I think G7 has better heat exhaust port, or fin, what ever they called. The photo of page 60(G7 manual) and Page 62(G5 manual) are slightly different. Can you check your G7 heat exhaust port(fin) size or shape are same as Dell's G7 manual?
If it does, I can happily make choice to go G7!!
Its hard to make out details on that manual. I have shot footage of its internals and also used a thermal camera to show the heat exhaust - it shows the heat being pushed far away from the CPU side. It's temps are very good, no throttling even when I overclock the CPU and GPU. I am hoping to get the review up this weekend, so stay tuned !
It looks like the screen on this model is still very dim. Could be the settings but next to the aero 15 it looks about half as bright
III III you are correct, the Aero 15w is definitely brighter. I'll be measuring brightness and color accuracy tonight. Doing battery test right now. Stay tuned !
So according to light meter: Aero 15w v8 at 50% brightness is 197 lux, and the Dell G7 at 100% brightness 177 lux... so yes, less than 50% as bright.
I am gonna but it tomorrow so exited 🥳🥳
yay !
Could you launch any stress test and show us a result of cpu temperature?
I think it could takes its clock down because of extra high temperature
All in my full review: ruclips.net/video/Vq9ACOFApr4/видео.html
Do you think the hinge can handle 5 years of use no issues
dkimmortal its held up fairly well on my inspiron 15 7000 gaming but that is only about a year old. It does seem rather flimsy though. I would definitely open it up from the center .
Where can you get the replacement panels for the G5?
Where did you get the white one from? I called Dell, and they only offer black or grey. 😒
Can the G3's RAM be upgraded? If so, what is the max capacity?
I am sure it can - probably max 32GB
Which one do you recommend Gigabyte AERO 15X or MSI G65 Stealth or G7 with 8th gen i7?
I like the look of the GS65 stealth with GTX 1070. I have finished all my testing on the Aero 15w and it runs hot when gaming, even with the mx fan. Definitely need an undervolt. The G7 performs on par and is cooler. That review up this weekend too.
exklim Tech News Thank you.
What is the max Ram that can be upgraded to? And is there a way or option to ask for a single 16 GB ram stick so I can buy other one on my own?
Avinash Shankarpalli you can max out at 32 GB. See my video ruclips.net/video/Vq9ACOFApr4/видео.html
Time slot 4.20
Hi, could you please let me know the dimensions of the shipping box for the G7? I want to ship it to Australia, but there limitations on the box dimensions allowed for my re-shipping service. Thanks.
Its 20.5" long, 13.5" deep and 3" thick
Do you think I should get the Alienware 13 with OLED? I can do a custom config around 1600$... Im fine with 60fps max graphics at 1080p
I have the exact same AW 13 , love it. I got mine refurbished for $1400 so check out the Outlet. I think it is a great laptop.
exklim Tech News So should I get that OLED AW 13 or this Dell G7? What’s better for a long term desktop replacement for a college student to use for about 3 years?
hello exklim, i just bought dell 15 7559 i5 6300 hq at 55k indian money and after watching G3 ,G5 i feel depressed, is 7559 still better? any comments?
far cry is that the one with a gtx 960m graphics card? If so that is a good way slower than this refresh😥
Man I bought the g7 without the knowledge of the existence of the g3 and wish I got it, looks sleeker
InfinityGamer+ I think you still make the right choice. I hear the G7 runs cooler. I should have a G3 in about a week or so.
The SSDs are PCIe or SATA?
Thank you in advance for the answer
Alessio Mora my full review is here, I cover everything you need to know
ruclips.net/video/Vq9ACOFApr4/видео.html
1050ti overclocked vs base speed 1060max Q
Jocose Jikininki yep, exactly my thoughts 😀
exklim Tech News haha, will keep my eyes wide open for that one ! Best tech channel nowadays I reckon
waiting for the comparison video.. 🤖
I might do that as a separate video. I'll include the regular 1050ti in this review :)
1060 6gb obviously, the lower clockspeed doesnt hurt the much more cuda cores that much.
Mu mimo 2x2? Does that mean is limited to 897mbps via Wi-Fi?
According to this it says max 1.73 Gbps. When I am downloading my games I get 22 MB/s , which is probably the fastest I have seen with my internet service. www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/wireless/wireless-products/dual-band-wireless-ac-9560.html
Does this come with an NVME SSD or a SATA SSD? I'm looking at the 256GB configuration.
[OCB] it comes with a SATA but it is a pcie slot so you can upgrade your self.
Ok thanks.
sRGB and Adobe RGB scores please.
Yep, will definitely do that :)
exklim Tech News WE NEED IT NOWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
I am also waiting for this particular info. Please tell
I know you guys are getting anxious :) 61% sRGB, 44% NTSC, 46% Adobe RGB. Aiming to get full review up this weekend
exklim Tech News Do you know what the maximum brightness is? :)
It looks promising, but i am skeptical about the durability of cheap plastic chasis. Idk might get one soon.
Jay C my main area of concern would be hinge perhaps. If you open it at the center you should be ok
Dell is well known for their build quality of their devices. I wouldn't anything else.
exklim Tech News update: i ordered the one you showed (black), i think I'll toss in a 2.5" 1tb hdd. It does have an empty 2.5" 7mm bay, right?
How is the screen quality and brightness?
Haven't tested yet but first impressions its OK, not great. Viewing angles are not as good as the Aero 15w I am testing at the same time. Not as bright either. Better than the TN panel I had on my inspiron 7000 gaming :)
sRGB 61%, NTSC 44%, AdobeRGB 46% . Pretty poor.
When will you upload the review? 🤔
Chadane Campbell just rendering it now so will upload it in the morning. Gone into a lot of details. Hope you will like it !
exklim Tech News oh, I will. I ordered the laptop. The 16 GB ram and 128 gb + 1tb version though. 😀
Chadane Campbell nice! You'll like it. No throttling at all. Have you used Throttlestop before ? Great way to vastly improve the CPU performance. Faster than a desktop i7 7700k overclocked to 4.7 ghz. Amazing really
exklim Tech News no, I haven't. Tbh, I've been using an old Asus laptop with an nvidia 950m graphics card. It's time for a change Haha.
Didn't think the G7 was available in the UK?
I live in the USA...should be with you guys soon though!
guys do you know any shop selling this online and ship it to Middle East, I have seen only dell website selling this and they ship only to US,
Best Buy sell it: www.bestbuy.com/site/dell-g-series-15-6-laptop-intel-core-i7-16gb-memory-nvidia-geforce-gtx-1060-128gb-ssd-1tb-hdd-licorice-black/6212435.p?skuId=6212435
thanks for your help, I forgot to mention the model which comes with i9-8950HK
dell.to/2I6GnBn
Dell is your only choice I know of..sorry. Hidevolution sells the XPS 15 2-1 with the i9 8950hk, GTX 1050ti. They will repaste it too.
I love it except for the arrows keys, for me its too small.
is the chaise metal or plastic? today I saw the 7577 in the market and it was a metal chaise
I would say it is all plastic
