- Dave2D review of the 2018 Dell XPS 15 9570. The i9-8950HK is a beast but the thermal limitations of the chassis are still here.
XPS 15 - amzn.to/2Jozmvx
Like the new MacBook Pro, not much has changed aesthetically, The new 4k display panel is a little brighter. Awesome for content creation. Fortnite and other moderately demanding games run at a good frame rate on the GTX 1050 Ti but keep in mind visuals are capped at 60 FPS because of the screen. The 2018 XPS 15 is still an excellent laptop for content creation but the thermal design of the laptop needs to be improved.

The new XPS 15 is an excellent laptop but it still has the same thermal issues. If you're considering one, do the thermal limitations bother you?
Dave Lee I bought a Asus gl503 with four zone RGB KB can any updates can make it per key RGB KB
Kinda, but not really
I like the XPS 15 9570, thermals don't bother me that much. For someone that travels a lot the build quality is a really respectable quality
Quit League of Legends because of my 9560, best decision ever made 😂
I was waiting for you to do a review of this. If you're buying one: Replace the NIC, SSD if needed and the thermal compound. People prefer thermal liquid metal, but its up to you.
Come on Dave, share those wallpapers man!
Byte Review get this comment to the top
Yes please! Every time I watch your videos, I jump to the description box and the comments to see, if there is somewhere a link to the artist and wallpaper...only to get disappointed...

Thank you!
Have you ever considered googling "dave2d wallpaper"
Dell: We want an extremely thin laptop and quiet, unpowerful fans
Technicians: ok
Dell: We also want a core i9 in it
Technicians: Wait, but-
Dell: *Just do it you nerds*
Note that apple is also guilty of this.
Shit if it were bulky and had a few more heat pipes id buy it
@@robertstocker3541 at that point its no longer fulfilled what it was supposed to be. It now isn't a portable work computer. it's supposed to be light, and every other aspect about it is still amazing.
@@robertstocker3541 Well, it kill the purpose of this laptop.... It's designed for on the go content creators... So it needs to have long battery lifespan, quite fan, and thin. If you want performance and better thermal and performance, but more bulky and heavy and shorter battery lifespan then go for dell G7
Really? it has 4k panel 1050ti and i9 what do you expect for?
watched many reviews, really well done!!!
Those little subtle background details, for e.g. the drawing tablet at 1:08 make your video so much better and aesthetically pleasing.... Love your content
that an intous 4 from wacom. drawing board for graphics work
johbuldmann0206
Looks more like the CTH480 Intuos pen and touch.
I own one.
Rohitash Pradhan it's not subtle at all, it's a drawing tablet
5pecialist it is for me.... It's a personal preference
Great, thank God he had a drawing tab in the background for .01% of the video, without it it'd be unwatchable. Thank you!
"it is what it is" ... welcome to every MacBook user's life
lmmfao!!!
GinoMcFino it's more like **** it
Such amazing reviews and very very relevent comments, and awesome suggestions and solution break downs!! Well done! Keep it up, and thanks :)
Thats what I like about your content. Informed, objective information, delivered with style and class. Keep up the good work.
Nice video Dave!
The XPS lineup is literally just the MacBook pro lineup for Windows users, really
Beautiful, expensive and powerful computers
Which always end up thermal throttling
TinkerTavern ain’t as expensive though 😭
macbooks aren't powerful. they're overpriced to hell and back for their performance. this manages to give you the performance you'd need at a price that isn't ridiculous for its shape. of course a thick gaming laptop will have better specs at a possibly cheaper price. this is pretty much the jack of all trades, decent price for its form factor, performance and looks. macbooks only have one of those: looks.
MacBooks are a stake excuse for a 2018 computer
Red Flow what about video editing and content creation on the MacBook compared to windows laptops? ( I have no idea about these things!)
Apple has way worse cooling. Not even comparable.
I got that XPS when they came out
Thanks from France for your video, very interesting :)
Safe to assume the new MacBooks will throttle down even more. looking forward to your review
Completely true thats why when people say this 6 core chip is 45 watt tdp I roll my eyes
i doubt he will even bring it up....
elysiumcore lol is Dave Lee the only Tech you tuber who doesn’t have a new MacBook to review? Aw I’m guessing he made the previous Apple video because he was sour about not knowing about the new release. Poor guy.
Yep, they should stop putting big cpu in thin laptops.
Emiliano Carpanessi this wouldn’t even make sense for Dave Lee. He has an entire video about how he wants 8th generation quad and hex core cpus in MacBooks. This guy is the biggest hipocrite
Why does his videos makes me feel so calm and light....
Your reviews are one of the best I find on TH-cam. They really help to understand the differences among different laptops. Can you please review Hp Envy 13t (2018)?
Anyone with this laptop, have you tried video editing/after effects/photoshop how has the performance been? Looking in to getting it for creative work
Infernus 25 if I can play mortal Kombat 11 and borderlands and the Arkham games without lag, I think you’ll be fine
Planning in buying one soon, have you bought it and has it answered your questions well? Because i want one for the same reasons you do
Honestly I just kicked it and went for the Aero 15x, and holy smokes what a incredible fantastic laptop that is.
Looks awesome to me, I'm on the edge between it and Blade, to replace my ever-failing 9560...
Dr Vagax how about for video editing or photoshop ??
Trying to decide between the XPS 15 and the Aero 15X. Worth it to just go for the Aero?
Spirus Visuals the same with me (
I’ve owned the Aero 15x since it launched and despite a few software issues the laptop has proven to be a beast.
Glad I found a review talking about the thermal issues: My Dell XPS 15 9560 battery ACTUALLY CAUGHT ON FIRE! It was still under waranty and I had even bought extra service. It's been a month now and Dell is still working on giving me a new one, they confirmed I will recieve a 9570. I'm feared to death of these computers. I just got home and was very lucky otherwise my house would have been on fire. The laptop wasn't charging and wasn't even turned on at that moment. I had been using it intensly for work that day but it had been turned off for around 2 hours already...
YOU are Kidding, RIGHT? Not Literally "Flames & Smoke" but Just "HOT", like, Frying Pan Hot. Correct?
Battery failure and thermal issues aren't likely related. Lithium is volatile and if there are flaws it can melt down. The throttling issue means the computer is actually cooling itself by reducing performance, not having runaway heat.
@@rsmith02 I don't care what happened. My laptop LITERALLY caught on fire and it sucked ass. I had to call Dell for weeks on end because their custommer service sucks. I got a replacement XPS which I don't trust at all with a broken fingerprintscanner and escape button.
I wasn't at home when it happened but thank got my house didn't burn down. The laptop was swollen and half of it was black and molten away. House was full of smoke
Your videos are so soothing to watch. It's like meditation for techies
Wow, you read my mind. I was literally just looking for an xps 15 review...
Dave Lee, I hope from you to make video for best laptops for CAD and engineering for all categories and budget, it will help a lot of people, I hope to see it soon 🙂
Reezk Hosni gaming laptops are very good for this purpose, or even a 500$ normal laptop with an i5-8250U/i7-8550U & mx150 is Good
The higher range would be i5-8300H/i7-8550U + gtx 1050
If you want something more powerful the 8550U + 1050ti which costs 800$
The best thing that would run revit, cad , etc would be i7-8750H + 1050ti or 1060
With 1060 its about 1200$
Howevrr Cad is really light and a 500$ laptop would run it perfectly for years to come
@@MrOmarMoustafa It depends on which CAD software you are using and whether you do more GPU- or CPU-intensive stuff. Some software products (CAD, etc.) run better with Quadro and Xeon, other run better with your standard CPU and GPU series. Of course the price difference between a decent gaming notebook and a mobile workstation is definitely noticeable. I would first check what the software, that is used, runs best on and then pick the mobile solution accordingly.
A 1050ti is enough until you decide to do some 3D rendering. Then you are screwed. There is a difference between the requirements AutoCAD and for example SolidWorks have.
Omar Moustafa , thanks a lot for the input! I shall therefore look at these specifics more carefully.
yes! lumion! vray rendering!
Great video dave! Buying those vented thermal pads and using it underneath the laptop would be a good option for gaming! Otherwise for video editing it is okay
That's a brilliant and honest review. Thanks. Any suggestion for a slick portable Laptop to be used for Photo & light Video Editing? XPS/Surface/Mac/Zbook/Thinkpad? we are inclined to a better look & build.
Good review! I think something often ignored in reviews is the fact that there are people who need dedicated graphics cards aside from gamers! The thermal throttling had me worried about buying the 9570 but this actually perfectly suits my needs for a mobile CAD/ render/ print media machine. 4k screen and battery life are both brilliant and all my architectural software runs smoothly without any throttling issues that I've noticed. I really couldn't find anything else comparable in the market since anything as powerful was a 'gaming' laptop with enormous sizes and/or disappointing screens and anything with a nice screen and size had disappointing graphics. It's not perfect. I have found the speakers to be disappointing, with a bug that forces me to restart frequently to get sound to switch back on, there's a squeaky spacebar, and I've even had a few system hangs over the 5mo I've had it. But overall, I'm happy with the purchase.
Thank you for the review! I'm very glad you being transparent with downsides of given tech! I hate channels which exclusively point out great things without telling you flaws. Great work!
I've waited for this video waaaaaaaay to long Dave... But finally it's here and after repasting and undervolting my XPS... It's just
.. JUST PURE LOVE. Perfect in any way. Even for gaming. I have multiple android studio projects, android emulators, vmware up and running with multiple desktops. This notebook never struggles. This thing is a beast...
Curious for your thermal tests on the i9 Macbook Pro
Basically the best computer for people who put work and content creation before gaming
Waiting for your macbook pro 2018 review
Weng Munar it's hot and it's expensive. Done
Its apple, so it sucks.
He didn't talk about the 2018 Macs bruh.
Same deal, with a keyboard that might not break and thermals that won't be able to handle the i9
stuck w/ the i7 on the new mbp bc of this honestly. didnt seem worth it
I really like your floor lamp 0:26 👌🏻
i chose the xps 15 over the others after watching your reviews. been very happy ever since. even got a dbrand skin too. had nothing but compliments on the wood color skin. looks amazing.
This is an amazing laptop. I have repasted and undervolted it. It was still running a bit hot during gaming so, I have decided to disable turbo boost while I game. Now gaming and cpu and gpu are running in mid 70s. No more throttling issues. I recommend disabling turbo boost for anyone doing heavy gaming, as it reduced my temps by 10 degrees.
What kind of games do you play? I’ve had mine since August and I’ve been playing games like mk11 and borderlands on like medium settings and it doesn’t get insanely hot but I’d like it to be better. What do you mean by disabling turbo boost?
In the BIOS there is an option called Intel Turbo Boost. Turning this setting off will keep the CPU clock speed at base clock. However I have found that it can reduce the temps by 5-10C. There is also an app in Windows called Throttle stop, this can also be used to do it while the device is switched on.
Did the same thing, no turbo boost makes temps a lot better, but now that undervolting is out of the picture, disabling hyperthreading also helps reduce temps
I totally agree. I rolled back the bios and undervolted, disabled turbo and it mostly helped. Now I'm looking at this to go after power limit throttling as the VRMs overheat. I saw it on Reddit: www.aliexpress.com/item/4001052774489.html
i got a good discount on this laptop. can you recommend this still? i will use it more on content creation.
Great review. Thanks. I just ordered mine.
I think an important concept you brought up is: THIS IS NOT A GAMING LAPTOP. Can you play games on it, sure with limitations.
But for those of us who use it for a work machine, I think the thermal throttling ceases to be a concern for the most part.
For what it's made for, it's the best laptop I can find after many hours of laptops.
best review style so far!!!
Just got my xps 13 9370 loving it so far
Why can't laptops manufacturers uses smart phones cameras in those thin bezels
TECH TIME BEAST money
what do you mean money a 7k mobile got good camera than that 96k laptops it is kinda disappointing though
i agree with you buddy
Exactly. I mean, Dell is mostly a computer company so it'll take this excuse. But Apple, Samsung, LG? At least smartphones' sensor should be INCLUDED in the most basic model! What are those stupid DxO mark for if they're only going to use it for smartphones anyway?!?!?!
TECH TIME BEAST me too bro
Are you planning on doind a XPS 15 7590 review anytime soon?
DONT BUY! Fuuulll of bugs
I bought one last week and im using it now, trying to sort out the overheating issues, it gets too hot to even put on my lap after short use
@@ItsLewie have you tried undervolting? If you havent/have let me know how it is with it!
this was too beautifully said. i have an xps 15 and each one of your paints was valid for both arguments of the laptops thermal problem.
Just watched the video, awesome job as always btw. When you showed the CPU benchmarks I realised you used my i5 benchmark for it haha :). Loving the laptop if anyone is considering buying one.
For those of you guys planning on buying the Dell XPS 15, I'll give you my experience over the past 5 months of using this laptop.
I needed a new laptop to study mechanical engineering in university. I was deciding between the Macbook Pro with the M1 chip or the Dell XPS 15. But after reading and watching hundreds of reviews online about how XPS 15 and Mac are basically the same, XPS is better for gaming, and how Mac is bad for ME, I decided to get the Dell XPS 15 in March.
PROS.
- The laptop arrived three weeks after I ordered it-- It was estimated to take 5 weeks, but I was pleasantly surprised when it arrived two weeks early.
- The keys are extremely satisfying to press--which allowed me to get a lot of work done simply because I was addicted to tapping the keys.
- The screen is very wide and filling--allows you to focus on everything you are working on.
- Battery life--I could watch twitch streams for 6 hours straight and the laptop would still have around 55~60% (from 100%).
- Dongle. USB and HDMI dongle included with the laptop.
CONS.
- The trackpad. Every time I left-click using the trackpad, it feels as though the bottom of the trackpad is getting stuck to some type of glue and once I lift my finger off the trackpad, the trackpad lifts off the glue and leaves this distasteful sound. I found this problem straight from when I unboxed the laptop.
- 2 weeks after purchasing the XPS 15, the screen started having issues. If you divide the screen into 4 sections, the bottom right side has a constant noticeable flickering. I tried doing everything to fix it but it just wouldn't go away. Every single time the laptop goes into sleep mode or I shut it off and reboot it, this same problem persists. After awhile, I simply gave up and started ignoring the flickering. (Only thing I have noticed that helps is plugging in the charger and using the device for one or two hours and the flickering gradually fades away.)
- Screen freezes every now and then. This has occurred around once a week for every week since March--when I first got the XPS 15.
- In-built camera. Very crummy resolution.
- Ports+dongles. There is a high-pitched whirring sound that does not go away if a dongle is plugged in.
This problem does not persist if there is no dongle. However, as a ME student and gamer, I almost always use a mouse that is connected to the laptop.
- Speakers/sound system produce momentary static if I use them for the first time of the day.
-Customer service. Basically inexistent. I moved to a different country (for university) after buying the laptop, and Dell told me that I couldn't get any help if I wasn't in the country it was delivered to. Even with the warranty, I am basically guaranteed nothing.
- League of Legends Gaming. The bottom half of the entire screen lags hard. It wasn't there for the first couple of weeks, but after 1 month, the entire bottom half of the screen momentarily freezes and unfreezes--constantly throughout the game. This persists until I connect the charger.
Overall, I would say the majority of problems I have had with the computer is hardware related.
Considering the price of the Dell XPS 15, I would trade it in for a Macbook Pro in a heartbeat and invest a bit more money in a company that has a much more reliable product and will actually help in solving problems related to their products.
For its price, the XPS 15 is NOT WORTH. I expected a MUCH better device with close to no hardware problems.
I Literally went two times higher than my dedicated budget and spent almost 2 years of savings (around $2400 with tax+extra for shipping) for this laptop.
For students who are on a budget--like I was--, I would recommend a Samsung device. Before the XPS 15, I used the Samsung notebook 9 (~$1,200) for 6 years. Games (Wizard101, League of Legends, Fortnite) worked perfectly on my Samsung device for all 6 years. All the workload that my Dell seems to be unable to handle worked unbelievably smoothly on my Samsung device.
Good luck choosing a device everyone.
damn what a stinker... I picked one up for less then 500
Most professional and unbiased tech reviewer on the tube. Great job Dave!
Giovanni Blangiardi He doesn’t review hp laptops, how is that unbiased?
Little bit biased. He kinda just doesn’t like MacBooks. And he has reasons, but there for he is biased
I would generally agree but on thermal he and many others have been making fun of apple since 2016 and only now they confess dell has had similar issues since then
Kerwin and for the récord i remember and x360 and an Omen 15 review of dave2d
I like iJustine best unbiased reviews
Jk
Could you please make your back-to-school buying guides soon? I have to leave for uni soon, but I'm having trouble deciding.
saaaaaaaame
I have last years model and still love my XPS 15.
Thanks Dave, my favourite PC reviewer. No irritating intros and the background music* at an acceptable level. Even though, you really do not need any*. I hope that Dell is watching your videos, they could really benefit from your constructive feedback, as it reflects on what their loyal customer base thinks.
I have it and I am going to return it on Monday for the following reasons: 1. Wifi needs to be resetted every 4th time I bring it back up from sleep 2. Annoying fan (spins up and down very fast for short bursts) 3. Loud fan: 45dB is 10 times louder my lenovo x230 4. Bad keyboard compared to lenovo thinkpads 5. Sharp edge of the case makes it uncomfortable to rest your hand on the case while using the touchpad 5.Buggy softwar from Dell 6. 30% performance throttling on battery (cannot be turned off, not even in bios). Decided to buy another Lenovo, this time a T480s
Bring back the finger spin! Who else agrees?!
Was waiting for this one, thanks Dave. Aero 15 is the better buy now imo.
thank you - brilliant commentary. I'm in the middle of looking for a pc laptop to run EEG data analysis which means a lot of data running for a considerable amount of time. Very difficult choice of what to go with as have been a MAC user for years and the switch to PC laptops is a big one. The main thing for me is performance and the decent life span of computer - have read about the Dell burning out after 2 years which is definitely not worth the amount of money it costs.
Hey Dave, my XPS 15 9560 1TB 32GB ram laptop burst into flames a while back. Does this relate to the overheating issues?
No, it's a battery failure.
There are people (businessmen and students) who travel a lot that need a decent laptop which can handle moderate work load without the weight of a luggage. Most importantly it has to not look like a flashy UFO when you have to present in a conference.
The only downside of this laptop on that usage is the camera angle.
If you are trying to play Tomb Raider with maximum settings on this laptop, you are looking at the wrong market.
I mostly do programming and editing so the laptop performance helps a lot. Moderate gaming is run smoothly.
Well macbook do the same you ask? Ye well look at the price.
I would say that the market of this device for professionals like software developers, is larger than market for gamers, i have only really seen the xp15 with 4 software devs, and xps 13 with people like product managers and stuff, dell will never make this device heavier for better thermals , I for one wouldn't buy it if it were heavier and neither would most of the people I know that own one. if you want to game go buy a gaming laptop or better yet a desktop.
If they just connected the VRMs to the heat sink it would probably work for both markets. The successors to this did it.
Man you are so eloquent and smart -- really hope one day I can inspire and educate people on my channel like you do. Only 25,000 subs but I'm still dreaming big haha. Thank you for being an incredible source of inspiration :)
*Hey Dave* Just saw this video and your MacBook Pro 2018 video. It would be awesome if you could do a comparison video of the two, comparing render times in premiere and other applications like After Effects. Also, since both seem to have the thermal issues, which one throttles more and which one performs better under heavy load? I'm looking to get a new laptop and I want to make the right investment. I'm not a gamer, I'm a coder who uses all operating systems from Linux to Windows to Mac OS. My workflow is all Adobe related and Web Development. I'm also wondering how the trackpads of the XPS compares to the Mac. Thanks.
You can replace the thermal paste along with adding thermal pads for about $20!! ive done it to mine and i havent had problems since!
Please share it
Oh well, I’ve already ordered an XPS 15 9570 and it should be delivered in a few days :P. It seems like this laptop will suit me anyways. I want a laptop with good performance for doing school work and extra stuff, as well as being suitable for some casual gaming while being relatively light and thin. I got the one with the i7 processor so hopefully there won’t be as much thermal throttling. Still looking forward to the XPS 15, it’s a HUGE improvement over my current laptop.
NickmAn can I know how its doing and your thoughts? Because I literally have the same situation as you
The laptop is great, basically no issues so far! The carbon fibre keyboard can get dirty (as in your hands will leave a mark on it) but obviously you can just clean it really easily. Obviously I don't know which model you're getting, so your experience might be a little different in terms of thermals if you get the one with the i9 processor.
Try this for thermal issues: amzn.to/2NhnKgw
I've loved my 9550. I've had very few hiccups internally, I've upgraded the battery and it's still rapid with nVME, but my Soft Touch has not held up particularly well after about 2 years of daily use. I've got issues with peeling on the left of the palmwrest and on the 90 degree angle to the right of the power button. It definitely needs frequent cleaning and care to maintain it, which in hindsight I should have done.
I loved your review with one big caveat. You said other manufacturers maintain the same level of performance without thermal issues, even though you had just said earlier that if you want a laptop like the XPS 15 without thermal issues, that no product exists. Had you made a recommendation towards the end to something like a gaming laptop then I would understand.
Also love your channel!
I can 100% confirm that it is the intel dynamic platform and thermal framework being to aggressive. I've run my 9560 with high requirement games for half a year now by blocking DPTF and it really solves all the problem. No throttling at all.
shit dude youre saving me i didnt know what was happening
whats blocking DPTF ? thinking of getting this laptop,So id like to fix the throttling
www.reddit.com/r/Dell/comments/7byhjq/disabling_intel_dptf_for_good/ this is the method I use
Thermal issues can be fixed with undervolting using intel extreme tuning utility
Also set intel gpu as default, and nvidia gpu per program basis on demanding apps. This made my xps completely silent on light load.
Excellent video, I'm happy to be a new subscriber.
Could you also review more of Dell's Latitudes? The firm I work for uses those, and I might be able to get a discount on a Latitude for home.
finally the 9570!!! thank you dave!!
Had the I9 for 3 weeks and had throttling issues when encoding and under gaming. Sent it back for a discount on the I7 and have had 0 issues with long encoding and gaming. The performance hit has not been noticeable and the machine hasn't skipped a beat. But, why sell an I9 if the chassis is unable to handle the heat unless your just selling specs? Upset that Dell hasn't fixed the issue but glad that the I7 is rock solid.
How is it now?
Could you please update us on your experience so far? Thanks
I was going to buy the i7 for programming tomorrow for school. Is this the best laptop to buy ?
Dash Paz I suggest going for the new msi ps 63
Lol I bought my laptop yesterday and last minute I decided to buy the MSI LAPTOP INSTEAD. ITS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING
Hi Dave,
I bought a 9570 (before this video came out) and it arrived a few days ago. I've had crackling in the speakers, and judging by other forums, many people have had the same problem. Have you had any experience with this through any of your XPS laptops? Would love to hear your thoughts. Dell have offered a replacement, but others have done that and the problems persisted. I've updated the drivers (as far as I know). It's a beautiful machine, this problem is really letting it down!
Toby Barnhill I'd also like to know this. Thinking of buying one, but the many risks might put me off.
ikdekker I ended up buying the top spec one (i9, 32gb ram, 1TB SSD) and it’s a beautiful machine. However I’ve had some thermal throttling and also an issue with the speakers which dell is looking to repair (apparently by replacing the motherboard). So once they visit and look over it, I’ll get them to check over everything I’ve had problems with and address them, which I think is mostly software issues.
Toby Barnhill customer support seems to be good. However, many reviews on the Dell site (www.dell.com/en-us/shop/dell-laptops/xps-15/spd/xps-15-9570-laptop) have several different issues. As it stands, 67 one stars, and 330 5 stars. Seems like it's mostly a good product, but for the price it's at, I don't want to have to be lucky.
ikdekker you’re 100% right. The service is really good (not as good as Apple, but better than anywhere else). The fact that they get a technician to come to YOU rather than you have to go to them is really nice of them. They’re happy to give me a replacement but I’ve said I’d rather them just fix the current one as chances are, there would be a reoccurrence of the same issue. If this doesn’t work out I’ll be moving back to Apple as XPS is the best looking and best performing for its size and body. I’d consider Razer but they’re customer service reviews aren’t convincing enough. Anything else looks cheap or too bulky with the same specs.
I had the same problem. I fixed it by downloading the audio driver from the dell website. It was different than the one that Windows 10 installed automatically, and it got rid of the crackling issue. I forget the one I had before, but the one I have installed now is: 6.0.1.8454
www.dell.com/support/home/ca/en/cadhs1/product-support/product/xps-15-9570-laptop/drivers
My current issue is the space-bar squeak. It's total bullshit. The only thing I've found on how to fix it (besides a youtube video that involved Vaseline) is a reddit guy that says it'll go away one day.
Hey man, I’m a huge fan of your videos. To me, you have the most simple and best review videos on TH-cam. I was wondering if you could do a review on Lenovo ideapad 720s with QHD
I have a Dell XPS 15 9550 and love it, does what I need. Untill my channel needs it I'll stick with it, but my next will be the 9570. I love the build.
Hey please checkout hp omen 15 (2018) a strong competitor of msi gs65....please do a review on it!
yeah
I have the 2017 model and I like it a lot
the 2018 model looks more amazing with thin bezels
The xps 15 is like the mac but runs windows. Same design, different internals. Excellent for productivity not intended for gaming.
bariq harb well said mate, couldn't agree more
bariq harb
How is a device that thermal throttles excellent for productivity? Gaming is lightweight compared to rendering in Premiere and such.
bariq harb Can't agree. It looks different (being thin and light doesn't make the same), it has got ports, a 4k screen, better keyboard and is priced right.
forza1sra not true. Gaming uses both cpu and gpu (of course mostly gpu) and because of shared heatpipes, that means lots of heat. But rendering is more of cpu intensive task. Still gets pretty hot, but probably not quite as much as gaming
forza1sra big ram useage, excel, document work, coding, general productivity.
That isn’t just video editing
Hi Dave, between the 9570 and the new 15 inch MacBook Pro 2018, which would you choose for content creation?
Hey Dave! Great video as always. I was thinking of picking up this laptop. How much difference did it make to the temperature after you repasted it? If it was significant, i might just buy it.
Hehe no intro
Also no "thumbs if you like it, subs if you love it"
Dave, what laptops do you recommend for engineering students with about a $1300 budget?
google my friend
DUDE LG GRAM IS THE BEST . ITS LIGHT AND POWERFUL WITH GREAT BATTERY LIFE .
Depends on the engineering field that you will be studying.
I used my Dell XPS 13 for software engineering and was perfect
Alex Perez mechanical engineering
Lenovo p50 serves me great. Great upgradeability!
I’ve got Precision 5530 2019. Absolutely diabolical performance after first hour of use. We as a company are moving towards Lennovo P1.
Are thermal issues very notizable while working with 3d desing apps? Not for gaming. Thanks!
Dude, DUDE, *ZenBook Pro* !
1st of all the 1st generation of it, you criticized a bit for precisely the same but not-as-pronounced thermal issue, while you say here that you need to Understand that the XPS was not designed with gaming in mind, which the ZenBook obviously shares..
2nd and more importantly it is absolutely a better alternative to the XPS than all the Gaming devices you've mentioned here, 4K Screen, Good (Not as good I know) Battery Life, Awesome Build, Amazing Performance, Improved Thermals, Thin & Light Workstation Laptop.
I bought the 1st Generation of it (1080p Screen), and I haven't looked back, I'm getting amazing performance even on the battery front (10 hours more or less).
I love your content and I hugely respect your opinion and even use it as a reference in most cases, I just don't understand what is your problem with this amazing device, maybe give it some time, make a full review on the newer version, it might change your mind a bit.
Cheers...
i think the point was its a 3rd gen product and very little has been done to combat issues it's had since conception..thermals matters not just in gaming applications. and tbh i really think some dell Engineers need to be let loose to come up with a slightly different but more similar design. but maybe they wont really have to by the Time intel gets down to 10nm power efficenicty could just be solved in a gen
I literally just bought the new xps 15 today. The reason I got it is because I used to have the 2017 razer blade, but I brought it to the Microsoft store for them to fix it because of battery bulge (I didn't want to end the warranty by opening up the bottom). They gave me a 100 percent refund of $2100 and being rushed to buy a computer before they changed their minds, I bought this. It seems very good as of now. I'm headed to school, and I was a little embarrassed with the blade and its fans. For a back to school device capable of playing games, I see this as the computer I should have had since the start. I'm fine downgrading from a 1060 for a computer like this.
I follow 4 tech youtubers and you are my favorite cuz you are not pretentions, don't do over the head reaction and more knowledgeable about this. Thank you!
Dave will you do a review on the late 2018 model of HP Spectre Gem Cut? Im leaning between this XPS and the Spectre. Theyre in the same price range for me here in Colorado.
I am undecided between this an zenbook pro ux580ge ,/ not a gamer / aiming for premiere, photoshop , ae work
I am having this with myself too. Which laptop did you end up buying, and what's your impressions?
That i9 power just went to waste
Still a lot better than i9 in new macbooks.
The i7 is enough...
Just don't get that configuration
@@lbeetech it throttles too
Would it help on the thermal throttling if it stands on a Cooler Master NotePal X-Slim?
Hi Dave I hope you are good. I am planning to buy Dell XPS 15 to design my own BJD dolls with 3D modelling software but I am not sure which intel core to pick. Would you be able to advise me on which intel core to choose? i9 or i7? Thank you :)
Hey Dave do you know which noble lock works best for the dell XPS 9570 between the Noble Wedge TZ04T and TZ05TNR?

Thankyou so much bro
Dian Kurniawan always ready to help when it comes to wallpapers.....
Undervolted my XPS 9550 last year and it runs like a beast. It's still otherwise perfect.
Kevin Batts wth. I'm a noob I guess. Can a rookie like me learn how to do this on TH-cam and undervolt my XPS 15? Is complicated? Any things to worry about?
@@malcolm4458 I think you can find some good videos on youtube on the subject, there's no risk. Use IntelXTU program rather than throttlestop, it's much easier. You will get some blue screens, that's all. Have patience and you'll be fine.
Thanks for the info.
Hi Dave! Can you make a video about what are the most budget friendly laptop for video editing.. thank you
Dave, I always wonder, what's that tower case between the desk and the lamps in the background?
Put liquid metal on ALL the things!
what if I buy i7, will I still get thermal issues?
I assume that if you buy i7, you'd get pretty much the i9 after all that throttling. But you'd lose the opportunity to give them extra money for no reason whatsoever. Much like if you get the full HD screen, you'd miss your chance on forking over money for pixels you are unlikely to see on 15 inch screen. Just sayin'
@@miroslavhoudek7085 true 4k on 15 inch is just a gimmick
great video, OMG, having recently purchased a 2018 dell 15 9570, recently I was not made aware of a swelling battery issue. I am curious as to know if you have hade to replace the battery at all and how long are the batteries rated to last? Was there any error and or alert that the Windows OS gave you in your discovery of the battery problem, that is did you perform a diagnostic which informed you prior? This really sucks, to where I may now consider returning the laptop for this reason. Thanks
That ending sounded like a threat. Watch out Dell!
It sooooo close to perfect ! Just change the thermal design dell😢!
the design is the best thing for me :)
the aero15/msi gs65 is better in every way........
The design is gorgeous
MHWGamer
He said thermal design, not chassis design.
Well as a person who used Aero 15, Dell has better build quality.
Does it come with an i7-8850h? AND would this be more cost effective compared to getting the i9 version? as the 8850h comes close if not better than the i9 version in s real world performance. So, if not offered with an 8850h, why not?
Cheers, A
TabalugaDragon Hey, thanks for this suggestion. It's actually not for me, have a customer who was wanting the i9 for performance gain, but didn't like the price. I was thinking of the 8850h, but I guess he wants the Dell XPS(don't think the 8850h is offered, unless I do a custom); so, thanks again for the suggestion....
Appreciate it👊🏻
Cheers, A
+Dave Lee Hi, at 5:00, you mentioned that there are other laptops that provide similar performance without the thermal issues. Can you share what those alternatives are? Thanks!
1st video-good,2nd video MacBook Pro i9- amazing,3rd video acer helio- great. Subbed!
Honestly, repasting is not really difficult, it only takes 20 minutes of your time and your tutorial is pretty straightforward. Since then, I never had any thermal throttling. It's a beast of a laptop. Did work on both my old 9560 and my new 9570.
PLEASE do the Matebook X Pro!
Pojosamaneo me too, I think i'm gonna go with the x pro
Pojosamaneo I would go with the Dell because if you need any form of decent customer service/support, you would be out of luck with the MateBook.
Happy Broski huawei has acually opened a lot of support centers
dell xps had a lot of problems right out of the box, but matebook x has no problem what so ever. those are my experiences.
Akmal Ahmed man who cares what those people think
At the place I work, we bought 3 of them. We had other problems as-well. Every now and then we would get a blue screen of death, a thing I haven't seen for plenty of years. And it is happening consistently for all 3 new laptops.
We all have the i7-8550U with 16 Gb of ram.
We didn't return any of them, since we hoped it might be fixed with update and they are really nice to work on. By searching we can see we are not the only ones having this problem.
I Love Your Videos Bro
Dell XPS 15 or MSI GS65?
Dell xps 15 without 4k
I hate that they call it an I9, they're trying to compare that chip to a desktop I9? Just call it a i7 8950 or something
Mas Haq Kresno learn not being a condescending douche.
Just over a year ago I went for the xps 15 with the matte 1080p display rather than the 4k one and the i7 and I found the thermal throttling a problem with that too, but I changed dell's cheap and sparse thermal paste to an aftermarket one and got a £12 bamboo laptop stand from amazon and it's become the best computer I've ever owned and I doubt i'll be upgrading anything for years.
Hi Dave. Do you think the razer blade 15 is good for content creation? Understand the colors not as accurate as XPS 15, and im not sure how good the screen is
