I'll see if I'm able to get one, I don't think my contacts currently have one available. I've got a video coming out soon comparing this one to the 2018 model, but it's just based on the differences based on my experiences with this.
if i were to get a new xps, i would either grab this one or skip the 9370. But my 9343 performs still well with 5 hours battery, for a 3 y-Old laptop it is very good actually
I'm thinking of buying this laptop as an all-round work laptop for college, is it still a good option in may 2020? , the one im considering has the same spec. Also considering the Dell 13 7000.

Thanks! Yeah very portable which is what I really liked about it, that's an important factor to me and the main reason I still use my old 13" macbook haha.
Yeah especially the single core result, the multi core would be even better I suspect if it had better cooling, but kind of hard to fit that into such a thin laptop. I'm working on comparing it with the 7700HQ for a future video now :)
Hey, How about this laptop in 2020? Is it still good? I am getting it at INR 68000 (approximately USD 954), should i go for it? (Actually want to buy a 13 inch laptop for my wife on valentine's day :)
Can you please do the review of Acer Nirto 5 Spin 2in1 laptop? It has quite a good Spec in a considerable price range. Only problem is can't find any reliable review. :/
+Saad Niloy I'll do my best, I spent a few months trying to get in contact with Acer to see if I could get the Helios 300 for review and it looks like that might finally be happening in the next few weeks, so hopefully after that I'll have the option to do more Acer reviews 😀
I really liked the Dell 7577 that I recently reviewed, it had decent specs and great build quality. I think I'd really like one of the 13" Alienware laptops (7700HQ / 1060 in a 13" form factor!) as that's my favourite size for travelling, I could probably replace my old macbook with one, hopefully I can test one out some time in the future!
What are you doing? In many cases 8gb is good for general use, but as I believe the memory is soldered to the board I'd probably get the best option you could afford for longevity reasons.
thanks mate. love your work btw. Ill be using it for mostly uni work so word, powerpoint, excel, emails, maybe v light casual gaming. just bought this at dell outlet $1459 i7-8550u 8b 256gb qhd touch and wondering what you think? fair deal for australia?
its gonna be long but really appreciated so my main work is music production (ableton) and for the requirements storage should have ssd 512gb cuz for software and 1tb for backup, 16gb ram & i'm kinda ocassional gamer and hot fast best processor easy ! Laptops -stealth,spectre,yoga920,xps 13 vs xps15 ,dell 7577,zenbook pro 550 i am worried about performance durability and no major issue cuz i 'm from india and problems with no warranty doesn't sound good as the 7700hq laptops are kinda basic mobile workstation boxes but as u see ultrabooks 8550u which they are saying the performance is same i am kinda getting good bang for my buck good screen,battery other cool features but in the end i don't want to comprise on performance by some fancy features I just don't want to regret my purchase thats all😢 😧
I actually made a 7700HQ vs 8550U video already :D it's coming out this Wednesday, so you should be able to see the differences there. Basically it's slightly better in single core tests due to the 4GHz boost, but slightly slower in multicore, at least with the XPS 13, as seen here it thermal throttles under full load which downclocks the CPU making it slower, full details and plenty of tests in the video on Wednesday though :) hopefully not too long until the next mobile CPUs are out though. Not sure if you want the XPS 13 if you plan on gaming, as there's no dedicated GPU, depends what you're playing though as lower end games run ok, I think something like the 7577 is better for that as you get a discrete GPU and also option for secondary hard drive. I can't speak too much for the other laptops as I haven't tested them myself yet.
The thing is 7700hq laptops are like normal laptops like 7577 or zenbook pro ux550vw btw which is best ? And as we see 8550 where u can get fancy stuff like touch 360 its cool but i am wooried bout performance ?
Jarrod'sTech well not necessarily but kinda you know durable no major issues and no compromise in performance and thanks a lot much appreciate brother just help me i am really stuck at this for months
I use FRAPS to measure frames per second and 1% lows in most games, depends on the game, some have a built in benchmark tool which will provide similar data.
I didn't test it myself, but the CPU in the generation before this one with the 620 graphics seems to play it fairly well: th-cam.com/video/2o4kLTmIkJc/w-d-xo.html the 8550u has 630 graphics so you should expect a little better in this game.
I haven't personally tested either laptop so I can 't say, but in terms of the difference in CPU the i5 8th gen should smash it, considering the i5 8th gen beats the i7 7th gen: th-cam.com/video/06DBdcNYqKY/w-d-xo.html
Sure, although I'd you get a high resolution screen on such a small display some apps might have problems, try testing it out in a store first if possible to see how you like it
Never heard of that happening so I'm not too sure, could be a hardware problem if you have already tried reinstalling the drivers, might be worth contacting Dell.
Yeah, the 2018 model moves the camera into the middle at least so that's an improvement! Still down the bottom though which is the only spot for it with such a small bezel.
Yeah not really for gaming without dedicated graphics unfortunately, some lower demanding games should work alright though. The built in graphics are actually a decent improvement over 7th gen, I briefly compare them in a future video I'm working on where I benchmark the 8550U against the 7700HQ.
northborneo27 Loptop is better for your communication and business.. using internet or online deals, where ever you go. While Desktop are build for Gamers. if you, or if they.. want very good FPS.. buy Desktop you will never regret.
Im getting this model in 2021!! I got it for a good deal at 450 on ebay. 8gb ram and im so exited for it to show up :)
Was it worth it bro, thinking of buying one
@@flip7942 Still rocking mine and it's a good performer. The battery is shot though - totally. Lasts about 2 minutes unplugged.
About to buy this used for $350 in 2022
Great, detailed video, as usual. Perhaps you'll consider making the Spyder5 Pro colour test standard in all your future laptop reviews.
Thanks! Yeah I'm going to use it in every laptop and monitor review going forward :)
Really nice videos bro.. Subscribed
Thanks!
Can you review the new XPS 13?

Nice! I've just finished with the XPS 15 2-in-1 and it was pretty cool 😀
Can you do a review on the XPS 15?
Thanks for reviewing this one!
Thanks! I'll certainly do it if it's available for me to review :)
Very Nice! When do you do the MSI GF72 7RE review?

No. Get a m1 MacBook air

@@joshuaehoche go for the M1 MacBook Pro or Air. Don’t go for the m2 MacBook if you will buy the 256gb base model.
@@olamideolayinka4130 but how convenient is it for the devops apps that are mainly linux and windows optimized

Would this be good enough for android development and some infrastructure engineering operations
If you can increase TDP to 35w in intel extreme tuning this will beat 7700hq in multi threaded benchmark.
Yeah wish I tested that when I had it, but I didn't unfortunately :( I just put my 7700hq vs 8550u video too: th-cam.com/video/HxlHioejSEw/w-d-xo.html
yanr! its a great portable all-rounder machine

With Win 10, I guess :D

hi jarrod - do you think 8gb is enough in this machine? or do you think 16gb would make much of a difference?
What are you doing? In many cases 8gb is good for general use, but as I believe the memory is soldered to the board I'd probably get the best option you could afford for longevity reasons.

Ah ok probably going to be fine for that sort of work, sounds ok price rise, Dell outlet usually have some good deals.
Is this good enough for do video editing with 4k footage
I'd want something with more power personally, if you transcode to 720p though the edit process should be smooth enough
is it a good option for photo and video editing ? without an external monitor mind you
