This is exactly the help I needed! I've been searching sooo long for a laptop for 4k editing in premiere and this was extremely helpful in my decision-making process, thanks Sara!
I've had this laptop for almost two years and let me tell you, It is a beast. I've spilled water on it twice and have never regretted my purchase once.
Finger print scanners readers biometric readers have been in pc laptops since the early 2000s Lenovo/ibm being one of the first companies to implement it its old tech
I had the Dell XPS 13 from last year and boy did it get noisy sometimes, but apart from that I had no other complaints and enjoyed it thoroughly. Definitely agree that the dongle life would be so annoying on a plane!
Wow! I've been for so long a "macbook" guy for editing with FCPX but...but...since I'm testing the Surface Book 2 I'm having so many doubts about the Windows ecosystem, even with the FPCX - Premiere. I`m thinking about switching or at least try. Good tech review Sara! Love the energy in this video!
@@Shafi.Islam_ Yeah it isn't really, the cpu is underpowered and the 1060 is mediocre tbh, vega graphics and a better cpu work better. And plus, it power throttles so it can't hold high frequency on the cpu for long.
Consider checking out Davinci Resolve, it's a free editing software. I switched from FCPX to Premiere, and lately have been using only Resolve. Take a look, it looks cleaner than premiere.
I have this laptop and the performance is top notch. It is very fast and the 4k screen is beautiful. The weak point for me is the sound volume due to speaker location, but not so bad as to be a veto on buying. My wife just bought the 9575 hinge version with the Radeon graphics card and slightly inferior processor, which I am eager to test out. She wants to draw and do photo/video editing on hers, and I like to play games on mine, so both of us got what we both needed from Dell. I spent more than I usually do on a laptop this time around, but I think the extra cost is worth it for the quality and performance.
Hey Sara ! Nice review(again ). I switched to this exact laptop a few month ago after 5 years spent on a very good MBP retina 15,. I got the i9 version with 32gb of ram and upgraded the 1to Toshiba ssd to a 2tb samsung ssd evo 970. It has the power of a workstation but it’s almost as thin and smart as a macbook pro. Except my headphones, i don’t have to carry around any dongle and adapters. It’s really fast for rendering tasks and editing under premiere pro ! The only 2 two things i would regret from the macbook is the trackpad which is a bit more precise on apple computers, and the fact that it can sometime be a little bit noisier. Keep up the good work ! Hadrien
Hey Hadrien Brunner, does the laptop have a problem with thermal throttling?? Because it is cramped inside that thin laptop and that i9 is a powerful processor.
@@syedfahmi1436 it does throttle a lot xD. That's why the Razer Blade 15 is a better choice because they have limited thermal throttling cuz of their insane vapour chamber.
Syed Fahmi the thing with the dell is that even though it has an amazing core i9, the razer blade still gets better cpu scores with its 8750-h because of its crazy solution while the dell’a core i9 can’t stretch its legs with the thermal constraints
Yeah i know right.. i think they need to think about making better cooling compartment before just putting this i9. No point when using it if the performance is not at its peak
I have the Dell XPS 7590 which is the newer version with the OLED 4k screen and I am so glad I went with this computer. WOW. It's the most quiet laptop I've ever owned and I've owned a lot of them. So this thing is a beast of a machine and is so fast and does everything with ease, but other brands can accomplish that. What they can't accomplish, is the build quality this Dell has. The fit and finish this Dell has. You have to feel the palm rest to understand just how insanely comfortable it is. I've never felt anything like it. Sometimes I just run my fingers over it over and over again and my coworkers are like "what the hell are you doing" and I say, "here, you try" and they're like "oh shit, I get it now."
After roaming endless tech-nerdy reviews and reddit threats on the XPS 15, I am so happy I found your video! Exactly the applicability and tests I was looking for. Thanks sooo much!
Sara try the Aero 15x. It should have a 1070maxq and the 8750H. The biggest thing is it has the slim design but is faaaaar better cooled than the XPS15 and Razer Blade.
I have had the 9570 for a year now and am having frequent blue screen crashes - outside of that it performs well. Anyone else having these crashes though?
After investing in 12 MacBooks for me and family within 3 years I stopped cold turkey in 2016 (yeah, Apple haven't seen a penny from me since then). The love/hate relationship with my old macs and the new drove me to search how much people detest the current Apple. Came across Sara's video the other day about moving to Windows platform presented in a nonintrusive way that was calming while providing positive points on the how. Love her presentation and the Evil Elf. SUBBED!
Hey Sara...guess what I am watching this video with??? Dell 9750!! I researched and saved since June and I just got it about 10 days ago. I am in love with it already!!!
Yoga 730 is comparable, but without the issues of bluescreen, instability, thermal throttling, driver issues, sticky trackpad and backlight bleeding which the XPS is well known for. I think reviewers get extra quality control
I was very close to purchasing a 9570, but saw so many quality control complaints that I had second thoughts. Hearing about problems with audio hiccups eliminated it as an option for music production. I ended up with a Lenovo X1 Extreme with i7 8850, 16gb of RAM (easily upgradable) and a 4k touchscreen. Love it so far.
Im a photographer and the Dell 4K touchscreen is UNREAL! I love it so hard. In fact I quit bringing my iPad Pro with me when I travel bc I like the screen on my Dell so much. I actually upsized for travel which nobody does.
Lol I dont understand how there is a comparison between the Book 2 and the xps 15..the Book 2 does everything this laptop does and can be freaking detached to use as an i7 full windows 10 tablet. What the fuck..if you want a Windows 10 laptop and have enough money to consider the Dell XPS 15A spend it on the Surface Book 2 instead..the only downside WOULD have been reliability but not anymore as MS has fixed all the niggles.It runs smooth AF.
@Sahil Sawant The i9 XPS 15 has throttling issues and performs worse than the i7 XPS 15..Honestly at least at this moment in time it is the Surface Book 2 that is the showcase of what a Windows laptop is, with the same hardware/software synchronicity that you would expect from Apple! Love Windows 10 lately though..all laptops I mean ✌
3:23 The only thing that really gets hot in the laptop is the processor, but that sits at the top left corner of the keyboard. (That's at least the case with the Dell laptop that I am writing this on) You were just touching the battery and that usually shouldn't get hot.
I am very happy with my dell latptop , first dell I’ve ever owned. My dad gave me his dell inspiron 7559. With a core i7 and over a terabyte of storage. This thing is my baby
The fact that it has screws on the bottom is actually a HUGE plus point for me, you might have to clean it eventually a few years down the road or upgrade, especially as a professional.
I'm looking to upgrade my MacBook pro and a direct comparison would be great. I'm reluctant to move away from a mac now after being on it for so long. Apart from the dongle issues would your preference be this or the latest MacBook pro. Cheers
Hi Sara, recently purchased this, I'm getting some issues with low volume sound sound pretty crackly. Is this an issue that you've noticed or experienced?
I can highly recommend the taskbar on the left site. You probably need more vertical space than horizontal and you don't have to move your mouse that much. Convinced my sister to try it and she loves it.
Great video. As a suggestion, could you do one that addresses the differences (pros and cons) of the two main ecosystems (Windows/Mac) and how each one "plays" with the other? So if I'm invested in the Apple system and got a Dell laptop, what can still work and what won't, etc.
As usual great video Sara! I bought the same Dell xps when it first released and upgraded the memory, storage and network card myself. This has been my main editing machine for work and it crushes 4k footage as well.
i have one of these. since the time I bought it, the motherboard has been replaced (within the 1st two months), the speakers have been replaced, and so has the fan. Nobody likes to compromise when you buy such an expensive laptop, but this laptop has a lot of compromises. also, the speakers can't handle the loud volumes.
Have you had a problem with the color calibration? I recently bought the dell xps 15 9570 and notice any photsos I edit, when i format it and look at it on any other device (phone, other monitors) it looks less saturated. So i have to over saturate everything on the laptop to make it just how i want it on any other device.
I've had this laptop for about seven months now. It's an absolute beast! It's mad powerful, runs all my games beautifully and it lasts all day too. I actually stopped taking my charger to class because I simply don't need it anymore. After a thermal repaste, temps never rise beyond 63°C. It helped my gaming situation the most, but it's just made it even better, if that's possible. I've used Dells all my life, but this is the first time I've owned an XPS. I am so happy to say that I will never, ever use anything else!
Hey Pratap, I´m considering a Dell XPS 15 , is it getting really hot when youre gaming? What games are you playing and after how long does it get too hot? Im really curious.. Im planning to play battlefield 1 on it :) Thanks
@@pauloh9818 Hi Paulo, my spec is the 9570 with 16GB of DDR4 and a 512GB NVMe M.2 2280 SSD. Now, when you game with the laptop out of the box, it can game fairly hard. However, it will get pretty hot on the surface. This eventually leads to thermal throttling, but there are two ways to turn the 9570 into an surprisingly potent gaming laptop by completely eliminating thermal throttle. Note: For everyone else who reads this, these tips can be applied to any laptop to help improve thermals, in case you're experiencing frame drops or just a very hot computer. 1. Thermal Repaste - I highly recommend it. I use EnerMax thermal paste in mine, and it dropped temps like a ROCK. Go for a normal solution, there's no need for any liquid metal business. 2. Disable Intel Turbo Boost - The i7-8750H processor is mighty powerful, clocking at over 4GHz when Turbo'd. This makes it very hot, though the performance improvement WHEN GAMING is actually negligible. Look around on the internet, there are a few scripts you can add to the registry to "disable processor power boost mode" (that's the keyword, use it when looking it up). What this does is lock the processor at its base frequency of 2.2GHz, but to be honest you don't need any speed above that. This way, it stays much cooler and it will COMPLETELY eke out any frame drop issues you have due to heavy thermal throttling. Even if you don't repaste, I implore you to disable Intel Turbo Boost because the processor is plenty fast enough without having to resort to Turbo Boost. Tip: When you install the registry entry that allows you to control the processor's boost mode, you'll find the setting in Power Options > Change Plan Settings > Change Advanced Power Settings > Processor Power Management. There will be two options under this heading: On Battery, and Plugged In. Both will be set to Aggressive. What you need to do is change the Plugged In setting to Disabled, but MAKE SURE the On Battery setting is still Aggressive. This allows the CPU more control over its power consumption and will improve your battery life. So, when you plug it in, Intel Turbo Boost will be off, and you'll be able to enjoy an nice, cool gaming session. So these two tips, combined with the fact that a few BIOS updates ago, Dell sorted out the GPU's thermal throttling issue, will make your XPS 9570 the ultimate machine. Take it from me, I very regularly game on my laptop. It has no trouble running GTA V at a High preset (well above 60fps w. 2xMSAA, SSAO and FXAA), Forza Horizon 4 (consistent 60 with a Med-High setting, 2xMSAA, SSAO), Shadow of the Tomb Raider (High preset, no MSAA, medium SSAO) with between 45 and 60fps, as well as BeamNG DRIVE and Assetto Corsa at clean 60fps on High with 2x MSAA and full SSAO. I play all of these and not once does my CPU or GPU thermal throttle, nor do the temps get even close to 65°C. If you have a list of laptops and this is on your shortlist, I say go for it. You won't regret it! It's a very complete computer. It's thin and fairly light with a crazy battery life, and despite this, it's a pretty solid gaming machine. Granted, it's not cheap, but to say it's not worth every cent you pay is a bare-faced lie. Good luck!
@@mr.p6828 thank you very much for your complete information. Im even more interested now, I havent ever opened a single laptop, I think I will ask a more experienced person to paiste it for me or help me with it. But just being a devils advocate, if you have to mention any negative traits on this laptop what would these traits be? Thanks for your info again!
@@pauloh9818 If you're unsure, have someone do the repaste for you (good idea 👌), but I recommend doing the Disable Turbo Boost first. If I had to be super critical, I think the only thing wrong with it is the webcam placement. But since I take all video calls on my phone, it makes no difference to me. The surface also picks up fingerprints, but like Sara said, the soft surface makes typing for hours very comfortable, so I couldn't care less about the prints. I just rub them off when I'm done! Once again, I'm happy to help 👍👍
@@pauloh9818 Also worth mentioning is that the XPS help department is super helpful. I got something stuck in the fan (stupid me, I used it on my bed right after spreading cookie crumbs, and it sucked them right up). I called them, and three days later I had a new fan in the mail. The fan was free, and even after I repaired it myself, my warranty was intact.
This was actually really helpful. I have a laptop that is really old and need to upgrade desperately but I've just started looking. I'm torn between getting a laptop again or getting a desktop but I've just started searching so it's probably going to be a bit.
Nothing about VRM throttling, the GPU temp limit and the CPU throttling in terms of heat and power. This video gives you no good info about the XPS 9570 in terms of its technical problems.
I’m so happy you did this! So I recently bought a refurbished Dell and had to send it back because the spin was weird. They sent a replacement and I don’t know how I feel. Randomly the computer won’t start and idk why.
I ordered this laptop a few days ago for my personal projects aka C#, Vue, SignalR projects. At work we use powerful Dell precision workstations ( laptops) that are extremely good for what you are trying to accomplish (video processing), however they are much higher tier than the XPS and while you won't get the thin and full edge screen, I'm pretty sure the precision models will process those videos much quicker than anything on the personal market. There is a huge difference in video graphics cards that are made for CAD vs the gaming cards. I would really like to see a comparison now that you have reviewed the 9570 with something like the precision 5000 or 7000 series.
I was looking at the same two laptops when choosing mine, but I chose the XPS 15 9570. Mine came spec'd with a core i7, 32GB ram & 1 TB SSD. And can't forget the 4k touchscreen! So far so good! It truly chews through productive work and when you want to take a break to watch TH-cam videos, such as this very one, the screen is beyond stunning in every single way imaginable. The build is also quite impeccable, although I did snag a carbon fiber dbrand skin for it for protection and to spice up the looks a bit more. I will see how it goes over the long term, but definitely enjoying it so far!
Wow!! From all the reviews I've seen, your the best, sincere and fresh!!! Please, I'm about to buy the Dell Inspiron 7000 17 2 in 1....... Can you do a review or at least tell if it's a good buy?? Thanks!!!
why do i always have this feeling that the right side on the laptop screen lays lower than the left side. i constantly see that on my laptop, doesn´t matter if it´s a Macbook or Windows.
Is the dell xps 15 as bright as your macbook pro?? I went to a computer store to check it out and they didn't have the Dell. Why I ask is because I love bright screens.
Between this laptop (Dell XPS 9570) and the (Lenovo YOGA C940 15"), which one you think is better? I'm about to buy one of them and appreciate your suggestion...
For anyone who has it, does the laptop feel too big, in terms of weight and thickness. Only thing keeping me from buying it is the thickness, should I just go for it and get it even though I haven't been able to test it out in a store?
Can someone explain why they can’t just take this laptop and put a 360 hinge in to make it a 2 in 1? I want these specs but I want it to be like a tablet
I just got mine a couple of months ago. I am loving it. I had never been into games but this runs games impressively well so now I got a couple tomb Raiders and Ghost Recoon Wildlands and after playing around with some display settings I am so impress how it can run such graphics and it does not heat up much when i play it at 1080. Editing video is a breeze! I love this computer so much. I am already thinking about getting a new one in a couple of years maybe. I seriously am loving this computer. so much power and great quality. Only downside for me is the battery life but i mean, there is a price to pay for a 4k monitor, right? still 5 hours of battery life is not bad when i am running a few programs at the same time. :)
I’ve been working on this exact laptop and it is the first PC I work on in too many years. I though I’d never leave apple, but this thing is making me change my mind. I have a problem though. My rendering times are never that short even though my videos are 5 to 12 min and I don’t shoot in 4k. I must be doing something wrong. Am I perhaps not using the dedicated video card? Any advice?
Mark S It’s great, really is. If using Adobe, you need to configure the Adobe software to use the GPU, but once that’s done it’s damn good. Renders a 10 min 4K film with animations a plenty in approx 30 mins. My old Mac would take over 3 hours with less sophisticated effects.
@@JBCTR thanks for the info. Going back and forth between this and the Dell G7. I'm using it strictly for editing gopro footage. That's not my profession, just editing a couple videos a month and my 4 year old HP is certainly not up for the task lol. The G7 has the 1060 GPU but no 4k. I don't necessarily need the 4k because I'm not even sure I've even watched a 4k video. So that's not even in my criteria. Any thoughts on choosing between the two?
Mark S Main things for video editing are CPU and RAM. Surprisingly, there isn’t a huge amount of GPU rendering going on. As the G7 comes with 16GB RAM, I’d go with the 9570 with its 32GB RAM if you are purely buying for editing. That said, it can thermal throttle but I guess that’s the trade off for portability 😁

I experienced the issue yes. Logged a ticket with Dell who replaced the motherboard.
Not even kidding this video came in perfect timing. I'm heading to Best Buy to get one now
I can highly recommend the taskbar on the left site. You probably need more vertical space than horizontal and you don't have to move your mouse that much. Convinced my sister to try it and she loves it.
Loved the review! Thanks!!
Great video. As a suggestion, could you do one that addresses the differences (pros and cons) of the two main ecosystems (Windows/Mac) and how each one "plays" with the other? So if I'm invested in the Apple system and got a Dell laptop, what can still work and what won't, etc.
Yes!!! Will have a few of those coming out over the next 6 months🙏🏻
As usual great video Sara!
I bought the same Dell xps when it first released and upgraded the memory, storage and network card myself. This has been my main editing machine for work and it crushes 4k footage as well.
What specs are your Dell?
i have one of these. since the time I bought it, the motherboard has been replaced (within the 1st two months), the speakers have been replaced, and so has the fan. Nobody likes to compromise when you buy such an expensive laptop, but this laptop has a lot of compromises. also, the speakers can't handle the loud volumes.
Saw this video, and when she talked about ports,
Me: Laughing in ThinkPad
The door in the background seems like the lock was deliberately removed and it was fixed 3 inches above the original position it was before.
Hi. If I turn off the 4K display will there be an improvement in battery?
Have you had a problem with the color calibration? I recently bought the dell xps 15 9570 and notice any photsos I edit, when i format it and look at it on any other device (phone, other monitors) it looks less saturated. So i have to over saturate everything on the laptop to make it just how i want it on any other device.
I've had this laptop for about seven months now. It's an absolute beast! It's mad powerful, runs all my games beautifully and it lasts all day too. I actually stopped taking my charger to class because I simply don't need it anymore.
After a thermal repaste, temps never rise beyond 63°C. It helped my gaming situation the most, but it's just made it even better, if that's possible. I've used Dells all my life, but this is the first time I've owned an XPS. I am so happy to say that I will never, ever use anything else!
Hey Pratap, I´m considering a Dell XPS 15 , is it getting really hot when youre gaming? What games are you playing and after how long does it get too hot? Im really curious.. Im planning to play battlefield 1 on it :) Thanks
@@pauloh9818 Hi Paulo, my spec is the 9570 with 16GB of DDR4 and a 512GB NVMe M.2 2280 SSD. Now, when you game with the laptop out of the box, it can game fairly hard. However, it will get pretty hot on the surface. This eventually leads to thermal throttling, but there are two ways to turn the 9570 into an surprisingly potent gaming laptop by completely eliminating thermal throttle.
Note: For everyone else who reads this, these tips can be applied to any laptop to help improve thermals, in case you're experiencing frame drops or just a very hot computer.
1. Thermal Repaste - I highly recommend it. I use EnerMax thermal paste in mine, and it dropped temps like a ROCK. Go for a normal solution, there's no need for any liquid metal business.
2. Disable Intel Turbo Boost - The i7-8750H processor is mighty powerful, clocking at over 4GHz when Turbo'd. This makes it very hot, though the performance improvement WHEN GAMING is actually negligible. Look around on the internet, there are a few scripts you can add to the registry to "disable processor power boost mode" (that's the keyword, use it when looking it up). What this does is lock the processor at its base frequency of 2.2GHz, but to be honest you don't need any speed above that. This way, it stays much cooler and it will COMPLETELY eke out any frame drop issues you have due to heavy thermal throttling. Even if you don't repaste, I implore you to disable Intel Turbo Boost because the processor is plenty fast enough without having to resort to Turbo Boost.
Tip: When you install the registry entry that allows you to control the processor's boost mode, you'll find the setting in Power Options > Change Plan Settings > Change Advanced Power Settings > Processor Power Management. There will be two options under this heading: On Battery, and Plugged In. Both will be set to Aggressive. What you need to do is change the Plugged In setting to Disabled, but MAKE SURE the On Battery setting is still Aggressive. This allows the CPU more control over its power consumption and will improve your battery life. So, when you plug it in, Intel Turbo Boost will be off, and you'll be able to enjoy an nice, cool gaming session.
So these two tips, combined with the fact that a few BIOS updates ago, Dell sorted out the GPU's thermal throttling issue, will make your XPS 9570 the ultimate machine. Take it from me, I very regularly game on my laptop. It has no trouble running GTA V at a High preset (well above 60fps w. 2xMSAA, SSAO and FXAA), Forza Horizon 4 (consistent 60 with a Med-High setting, 2xMSAA, SSAO), Shadow of the Tomb Raider (High preset, no MSAA, medium SSAO) with between 45 and 60fps, as well as BeamNG DRIVE and Assetto Corsa at clean 60fps on High with 2x MSAA and full SSAO. I play all of these and not once does my CPU or GPU thermal throttle, nor do the temps get even close to 65°C.
If you have a list of laptops and this is on your shortlist, I say go for it. You won't regret it! It's a very complete computer. It's thin and fairly light with a crazy battery life, and despite this, it's a pretty solid gaming machine. Granted, it's not cheap, but to say it's not worth every cent you pay is a bare-faced lie. Good luck!
@@mr.p6828 thank you very much for your complete information. Im even more interested now, I havent ever opened a single laptop, I think I will ask a more experienced person to paiste it for me or help me with it. But just being a devils advocate, if you have to mention any negative traits on this laptop what would these traits be? Thanks for your info again!
@@pauloh9818 If you're unsure, have someone do the repaste for you (good idea 👌), but I recommend doing the Disable Turbo Boost first.
If I had to be super critical, I think the only thing wrong with it is the webcam placement. But since I take all video calls on my phone, it makes no difference to me. The surface also picks up fingerprints, but like Sara said, the soft surface makes typing for hours very comfortable, so I couldn't care less about the prints. I just rub them off when I'm done!
Once again, I'm happy to help 👍👍
@@pauloh9818 Also worth mentioning is that the XPS help department is super helpful. I got something stuck in the fan (stupid me, I used it on my bed right after spreading cookie crumbs, and it sucked them right up). I called them, and three days later I had a new fan in the mail. The fan was free, and even after I repaired it myself, my warranty was intact.
Love your video style + content and quality.
This was actually really helpful. I have a laptop that is really old and need to upgrade desperately but I've just started looking. I'm torn between getting a laptop again or getting a desktop but I've just started searching so it's probably going to be a bit.
Nothing about VRM throttling, the GPU temp limit and the CPU throttling in terms of heat and power. This video gives you no good info about the XPS 9570 in terms of its technical problems.
I’m so happy you did this! So I recently bought a refurbished Dell and had to send it back because the spin was weird. They sent a replacement and I don’t know how I feel. Randomly the computer won’t start and idk why.
More of your tech reviews please 😄😄
I ordered this laptop a few days ago for my personal projects aka C#, Vue, SignalR projects. At work we use powerful Dell precision workstations ( laptops) that are extremely good for what you are trying to accomplish (video processing), however they are much higher tier than the XPS and while you won't get the thin and full edge screen, I'm pretty sure the precision models will process those videos much quicker than anything on the personal market. There is a huge difference in video graphics cards that are made for CAD vs the gaming cards. I would really like to see a comparison now that you have reviewed the 9570 with something like the precision 5000 or 7000 series.
I was looking at the same two laptops when choosing mine, but I chose the XPS 15 9570. Mine came spec'd with a core i7, 32GB ram & 1 TB SSD. And can't forget the 4k touchscreen! So far so good! It truly chews through productive work and when you want to take a break to watch TH-cam videos, such as this very one, the screen is beyond stunning in every single way imaginable. The build is also quite impeccable, although I did snag a carbon fiber dbrand skin for it for protection and to spice up the looks a bit more. I will see how it goes over the long term, but definitely enjoying it so far!
Ooh!! Good idea with the dbrand skin might cop one myself😏
@@saradietschy I recommend their skins for sure. Great quality and looks very good!
I have the XPS 9560 and with Premiere Pro, the user interface lags a little bit. Do you have any UI lag with this version?
I subbed to you because of this video. keep doing great content 👍
1:19 what about remote access, or online rendering?
been looking at this dell as well. have u had any issues?
Hi Sara or to anyone who has an idea, I have a question, is there a huge difference between the newer Dell XPS 15 with and this version?
Thank you for the review, mines in shipping, Soo excited to move of Mac just subed😆
Wow!! From all the reviews I've seen, your the best, sincere and fresh!!! Please, I'm about to buy the Dell Inspiron 7000 17 2 in 1....... Can you do a review or at least tell if it's a good buy?? Thanks!!!
Great review..
Quick question though, How's the battery life performance for this laptop when you're fully utilizing it on working some video project?
Clicked so hard to this video I broke my mouse 😂
Your mouse still works? 😢
Try surface book 2 15"
Aww 😂🤣
That's because you got a cheap mouse my man
why do i always have this feeling that the right side on the laptop screen lays lower than the left side. i constantly see that on my laptop, doesn´t matter if it´s a Macbook or Windows.
Is the dell xps 15 as bright as your macbook pro?? I went to a computer store to check it out and they didn't have the Dell. Why I ask is because I love bright screens.
Totally agree with you on the 9570 and yes the camera location is weird...so I just sealed it off.
Between this laptop (Dell XPS 9570) and the (Lenovo YOGA C940 15"), which one you think is better? I'm about to buy one of them and appreciate your suggestion...
Will this laptop suitable for an Architecture student ?
Sara you should have a lot more subscribers and hope you get a million subscribers someday
For anyone who has it, does the laptop feel too big, in terms of weight and thickness. Only thing keeping me from buying it is the thickness, should I just go for it and get it even though I haven't been able to test it out in a store?
Watching on a 9570! This computer is a BEAST with so much battery. I highly recommend this one.
Can someone explain why they can’t just take this laptop and put a 360 hinge in to make it a 2 in 1? I want these specs but I want it to be like a tablet
Can anyone tell me that xps 9570 i7 or i9 is best, cause lot of people saying that i9 xps have heating problem.
i9 is good but for huge render it may throttle. So you can repaste the i9 with a new cooler paste.
But if you don't need it, the i7 is a beast.
I just got mine a couple of months ago. I am loving it. I had never been into games but this runs games impressively well so now I got a couple tomb Raiders and Ghost Recoon Wildlands and after playing around with some display settings I am so impress how it can run such graphics and it does not heat up much when i play it at 1080. Editing video is a breeze! I love this computer so much. I am already thinking about getting a new one in a couple of years maybe. I seriously am loving this computer. so much power and great quality. Only downside for me is the battery life but i mean, there is a price to pay for a 4k monitor, right? still 5 hours of battery life is not bad when i am running a few programs at the same time. :)
Hey, Sara! Awesome review. Can you please review the Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Extreme? Thanks!
I’ve been working on this exact laptop and it is the first PC I work on in too many years. I though I’d never leave apple, but this thing is making me change my mind. I have a problem though. My rendering times are never that short even though my videos are 5 to 12 min and I don’t shoot in 4k. I must be doing something wrong. Am I perhaps not using the dedicated video card? Any advice?
Great video ! Perfect in-depth review👌 Could you please review the MSI PS42 laptop? It would be of great help. Thanks👍
Made the switch from Apple and just purchased one of these to use as my editing rig. So stoked!
How is it handling the work load so far? Trying to decide on this or the Dell G7
Mark S It’s great, really is. If using Adobe, you need to configure the Adobe software to use the GPU, but once that’s done it’s damn good. Renders a 10 min 4K film with animations a plenty in approx 30 mins. My old Mac would take over 3 hours with less sophisticated effects.
@@JBCTR thanks for the info. Going back and forth between this and the Dell G7. I'm using it strictly for editing gopro footage. That's not my profession, just editing a couple videos a month and my 4 year old HP is certainly not up for the task lol. The G7 has the 1060 GPU but no 4k. I don't necessarily need the 4k because I'm not even sure I've even watched a 4k video. So that's not even in my criteria. Any thoughts on choosing between the two?
Mark S Main things for video editing are CPU and RAM. Surprisingly, there isn’t a huge amount of GPU rendering going on. As the G7 comes with 16GB RAM, I’d go with the 9570 with its 32GB RAM if you are purely buying for editing. That said, it can thermal throttle but I guess that’s the trade off for portability 😁
@@JBCTR Thanks for the input
I also play Fallout 4 on my Dell XPS and it runs so smooth! LOVE this laptop. 😀
Sara keep up the great work
Hey Sara, do you think you could do a review of the Dell precision 7740?
how's that battery life though?
