For people that have an xps 13 (or know people with one), did that unit have coil whine?
Mine does yes
For the people who have a gaming laptop , how's the feeling🥺🥺
Yep mine does as well
you forgot to mention that the screen ghosting is quite bad as compared to even mbp 13.. i got coil whine as well on my 9370. also, speakers popping due to max software audio.
I have the 2018 xps 13 and have never experienced any coil whine
*Apple messes up all the units
Dave: At least they're consistent.
😂😂😂🤣🤣
😂😂😂
I mean he ain’t wrong u know what u getting
OOF 100
If all the laptops shown have an issue, I’d rather at least know what to look out for because I can prevent it. MacBooks probably have the best build quality, and for the keyboard you can just put a small cover on it if it’s really that big of an issue
He is holding them like slices of bread.
Yeah, he's quite gentle with his touch.
He's holding them like they are $1000 pieces of tech.
He's stoned -.-
@@amj.composer Linus be like Gentle???? Not dropping tech??? Dont know her 😂😂
I mean, they go very well with butter just like slices of bread
The way Dave handles laptops or gadgets is impressively diligent compared to Linus.
Until you see him spinning Macbooks, that gave me anxiety lol.
he opened almost every laptop from screen corner. if you keep doing it , you gonna get a flex or screen bleed soon
...and Unbox Therapy.
They are clearly not from the same universe
@@witvklk What does "diligent" mean?
I know it's dumb but I'm constantly amazed at how far computing tech has come in the last 20 years. The idea of having machines so small yet so powerful was science fiction at the turn of the century. It's mind blowing.
Damn you are really old
It’s a joke k
@@jackf1684 Because it's faulty design and not build quality. Apple seems to have fixed the thermal and keyboard issues with the new m1 MacBooks though.
@@mklaver31 Truly I think they've finally started using "Think Different" in the right context.
Yes powerful. But still same design for over 20 years. Folding monitor and keyboard.
I've had my XPS 13 since Nov 2017 and only now noticed that my laptop has some coil whine because of this video.
Thanks, Dave.
That's the thing. You only notice it because other people point it out. But if you didn't really notice it in the past or it hasn't really bothered you, then I'd say don't pay much attention to it.
And then you can't unhear it.
I can only slightly hear some niose from my 9730 (xps 13 2018) when moving the cursor or scrolling. Dunno if this "counts" as coil whine?
Another problem that is far more annoying however is that hibernation doesn't work for some reason. When I start my pc after a hibernation it doesn't resume where I left off. Any of you have this problem?
pretty sure it's because you didn't even know coil whine was a thing
Merely watching this video is enough to intimidate your XPS 13 into whining
This man is a true TH-camr.
I will not be believe on a laptop untill Dave makes a review on it
🎵If you wish upon a laptop🎵
Yhhh well, i lost credibility with dave when he said the alienware m15 doesn't throttle. Don't know if it was a special review sample or he didn't really do intense stress tests

This was honestly your best video to date. So many people watch so many laptop review videos and the issues surrounding models/brands is never discussed in length. Good on you to put out this truthful and educational video so people will know what they're buying into.

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

I had coil whine on my latitude e5450, I just switched off "power saving" setting on bios and it stopped right away. Coil whine is usually caused by low voltage.
This is one of the most valuable videos that I ever needed. I always feel hesitant choosing between buying from a manufacturer or from a retailer as retailers charge more on average but I also feel hesitant when buying a laptop as there is always an issue regarding a defect or poor warranty experience but now I know that all I need is a good return policy. Thank you for this video!
Not all laptops suck. Some are passively cooled 🤔
@@AnonymousGentooman I think we was referring to the fact tat passively cooled laptops do not suck air in, for cooling.
acer nitro 5 is a pretty decent beast for 650$ and it's cooling is pretty awesome
@@ccotunai And i think @generic username :v was referring to the fact that passive cooling is actual cooling and that cooling systems that suck in air dont work. Obviously his opinion.
Go home dad
@@AnonymousGentooman woooooooooooooooooooooooooosh
MSI GS65 and some other msi laptops are known for fan noise/rattling. I had to get one replaced and then get the replacement fixed.Rattling started after 2-3 weeks on the first unit and month and a half on the second. Since they got replaced by MSI (One month ago and for free) it has been fine but people should know.
My GS65 rattles occasionally too. I have a feeling it's due to a small amount of flex in the chassis.
i got a gs65 and the fans come on for any reason at all like literally just watching youtube videos, is that normal????
I had that for the longest time and it went away by itself last week.
My GS75 has zero problems, it's awesome!
I've had the gs65 for almost a year now and haven't experienced rattling, but a common issue I ran into was the enter/fn button stops working pretty much. Reddit told me its a manufacturer problem where a screw bends into a ribbon cable for the keyboard. If you take apart your laptop, you can try to un-dent the ribbon with your fingernail or something and it fixes it, but in my case, only temporarily. I even put a thick piece of tape on top of the screw so it wasn't so sharp against the ribbon, issue came back after a month or so.
Hi, Dave your content in the videos is far better than other TH-camrs! At least for me. Great job!!

He has some good points on macbooks, but at the same time keeps recommending lenovo. And lenovo has the WORST fucking repair service ever. No shit. Search for lenovo repair on google and you will be treated with enough horror stories that you never buy another lenovo. There are some nice stories, but they are very rare. Rossman is either lucky, or a marketing mascot of lenovo (even if he may not realize it himself). I was extremely disappointed by him because I was really looking forward to a new laptop with such ‘great‘ and ‘kind’ repair service as that of lenovo. After all, I could trust rossman on repairs right?

So..... What's wrong with that?
"At least the Macbooks are consistently crap"
Matt Schwartz Yeah, it still works like new. That is, it’s just as bad as when you first got it.
My Macbook Pro died on me 3 times in 5 years... Display, battery and motherboard. I paid as much in repairs as a brand new laptop. It was never dropped, taken good care of and the worst is it wasn't my primary machine so wasn't used that much. In comparison my parents are still rocking 8-10 years olds entry level crappy windows laptops that still run fine today thanks to replaceable batteries and swappable hard drives (now with ssd).
I work in music events and we use a lot 15" inches for tours since some vjing and sound software is exclusive to OS X, display connection and motherboards dies regularly due to bad heat management.
[EDIT] I don't say all Macbooks are crap, just that they have their (costly) issues. If you're a power user and need a powerful macbook insure the heck out of it because it WILL die from heat.
@@wawa5379 true. i've never owned an Apple product, not beacuse they are bad they are pretty good, but mainly because of the price. apple can literally charge anything and people will buy it. Also i'm not the biggest fan of macOS and iOS, but i could get used to that, i could never get used to being in debt though.
I have an 8 year entry-mid level old Acer and it still works well, i swapped in the SSD and might get a new battery for 20 bucks. this laptop has been through hell and back. the only issue i had with it was the cooler broke 3 years into ownership, but it was under warranty and they fixed it no problems. now my laptop is running a bit hot and i will do a repaste clean the whole interior and i've just disabled turbo boosting for CPU and i'll have it for a bit longer. This is also what i'm missing at apple customization, upgradability and fixing. i broke the screen on my android phone and ordered a replacement one from aliexpres for 20€. replaced it myself and it works as good as new.
I'll probably get a new laptop within a year (my old one has a pretty bad screen now) and it will definetly not be apple. i'll still dish out a reasonable amount of money (was thinking up to 1500) but a macbook with same specs will still cost twice as much

X1 Carbon keyboards probably feel different because the backlit and non backlit models are built differenly
Also, the manufacturer of the non-backlight ones can vary. /r/ThinkPad has a whole wiki page on this.
No. Different parts literally. But keyboard wise it is first world problem. Like excellent keyboard or just very good.
@@ryuuseiSoul Yes, they sometimes even use different switch design or fittings (on even older models if you search for a key replacement on ebay they usually ask how your button looks like under keycap because there is a slight form variation) for the same model keyboards. That is why they can feel a bit different from one same model laptop to another same model, same year laptop. But all of them are still very good.
Most things he says needs fixing or replacing are not considered as faults and normal consumers won't get a replacement for a slight light bleed or coil whine.
@@ligametis also premium devices have no right to screen bleeding.
Thank you dave very cool and helpful video 🙏
I've been returning 3 laptops in a time span of 2 weeks (2 acer helios 300, different specs - number one wouldn't turn on after 2 days, only the keyboard and fans but black screen, number 2 had really bad backlight bleed and wobbly trackpad and a lenovo legion 5p which had coil whine, heating issues and for some reason my adobe programs kept getting stuck or frozen (i know it probably was from Windows or something but I didn't have a fix). So yeah, i've kinda had it with laptops for a while, maybe next year.

This is a wonderful video, you should revisit the reviews and see how the laptops are holding. Many reviews focus on initial quality but they never describe later on how they did through the time. I have to say i have 2 xps laptops that stop working... regardless how great they behave as new.
I have a Dell XPS 15 L502X from 2011 and that bad boy is still going strong today. Thing is about as thick as the old yellow pages and could survive being dropped off a skyscraper. Only issue I ever had was the battery needed to be replaced. I also replaced the hdd with an ssd for speed.
Priceless video Dave, especially as it pertains to purchasing from a third party such as Amazon or Newegg and resolving any issues that come up. Having Amazon, for example, is like having a high priced attorney by your side.

Hey Dave,
Anything specific about Microsoft Surface Laptops?
No USB C port in 2019.
Don't buy the surface devices in India. I have a surface book that basically turned into a lemon and Microsoft India support is non existent, I had to pursue them legally to fix my laptop in warranty. A friend of mine with a surface pro 5 had a similar experience.
@@puffypigdey6422 Hey! I did. But to resolve the issue I was required to ship the device to US on my own expense and risk. Less than 2 months after purchase.
@@puffypigdey6422 Also, i shouldn't have to contact MS support in a different country altogether. The device was purchased in India and comes with a year long warranty. They should honor that.
I found resetting my surface laptop to be a ridiculous pain. Simply wouldn't boot right once it resetted and create a user account I had no access to, meaning I had to complete reinstall windows
Does Amazon refund you on a laptop for having one of these “small issues“?
I saw in their return policy that they refund only “Dead on Arrival“.. Do these issues apply?
Yes
Ya if there is any issue pretty much within the return window you should be fine. More than likely amazon will process it. If not, manufacturers warranties usually cover it.

1:02 Dell has had the coil noise for the longest! Most latitudes I've owned would make the noise whenever I interacted with the mouse. Overtime I got used to it, so it's not really an issue to me anymore lol
I have a 2019 Thinkpad X1 carbon with a dolby HDR Glossy display - which is literally the best display on a laptop ever - and its absolutely amazing.
The keyboard is as good as the reviewers said it was. Battery life is great. The material its made of feels so premium (well, its a magnesium-carbon composite, so thats expected), its SO DAMN LIGHT, my sister bought a 2019 macbook air at the same time i bought my thinkpad and man, her laptop is so much havier than mine. The trackpad is very responsive. The ports are amazing. The speakers are not amazing but not bad at all - definitely not as bad as some reviewers made it seem to be.

Thank you in advance.
Had xps15 - loved the screen - it is built like a tank - alas, a tad bit too heavy and the battery is too small for my use. Don't know your needs, but I would go either xps13 (was my contender for the replacement - alas, went with mi air 13' - like it overall, miss the display of my old xps15) or carbon, if you like the esthetic and are in good standing with the small gods of randomness... or if you are a god of cunnilingus and you _prefer_ playing quake with your tongue on the lenovo nipple ;)

@@ahmedaljunaid9045 Then - xps for sure. The screen is gorgeous, and if I'm remembering correctly - has very good color accuracy. If you don't mind the extra 600/700g - 15 inch IMHO would be my choice if I were you. Unless you need the portability (xps13 is lighter and I believe the battery lasts longer). If you get older xps - check for gremlins - if it has killer wifi - ask them to swap it to intel. Check if you can't hear any crackling sounds when listening to a video/audio and changing brightness and/or switching other things with hotkeys - that's the cancer of some older versions that ultimately needs mb replacement. And enjoy your fabulous device that is built like a tank ;)
@@ahmedaljunaid9045 just out of interest - what did you ended up getting?;) and how is it?
@@ToxisLT haven't decided yet. But last time I also went to check out the Xiaomi Mi Notebook Air 13 and Pro version. They're quit nice also, and relatively cheaper than the others
Other brands: some of their products are faulty
Apple: all of them
"Consistent"
@@user-wj7sm9bm6p welp nice defense buying a sucky product because you know it sucks
@@user-wj7sm9bm6p I'm guessing that's better than knowingly buying a faulty product it's like buying a car knowingly with a blown engine
@@user-wj7sm9bm6p At least if those faulty issues appear a replacement could fix the problem. Imagine replacing a 2018 MBP, you'd get a new one with the exact same crappy butterfly keyboard and it would break again in a few months because it's just badly designed. And this is coming from someone who owns and loves his pre-Touch Bar MBP.
The new HP Envy 13 with the mx250 looks like a screaming deal. I would love to see your thought and testing on it, any chance you will get one in for review?
Good review. As an HP owner, I can tell you one of their standout issues is low volume. I've read many reviews over the couple of years from people complaining about their poor audio.
"because they're so thin they have problems with keyboard this year"
And the year before.
And the year before as well.
And there is no provided fix at the moment.
But ehi, good video, thank you! Love your content, man! Keep it up
Don't forget to mention the screen cable problems, overheating, and T2 chip causing kernal panics when using peripherals.

*"At least they're consistent."*
Maybe they solved the problem... But by making it even more thin in the next gen it popped up again :D
