Laptop size was never a big deal to me. Bigger laptops, better cooling, especially when I'm switching from playing games, to doing heavy 3D work. Those sleeker laptops are still good, but I feel like they never last in the long run. This G7 will def be my new laptop for school. Thanks Dave! Literally only channel I go to for laptop reviews and recommendations.
@@joey4667 so far the only games I have tried on this Fallout 4 (ultra settings, Overwatch (Epic settings) and Resident Evil 7( with everything on high, interlaced mode, 1.5 texture resolutions) I game for bout 2hrs a day. I would say the laptop stays relatively cool however in between the panel and the keyboard it does get a bit warm.. Maybe even hot.. But then again that's where the GPU is located.. But it's not so hot 🔥 where you'll burn your fingers or something like. I feel like it's normal for a laptop. On a side note, when you're not gaming or doing anything intense. The whole laptop stays pretty cool I must say. Overall I like the Dell G7 and I fucks with it. I got this for $999.99 with max specs. Good deal if you ask me.
Just got my laptop. It looks great and feels very sturdy and premium, even though the chasis is plastic. In terms of performance, out of the box I'm noticing lag on simple things like exploring the internet or opening up folders or programs, but possibly I have to run some updates first. I like the computer regardless and though I'm like 2% disappointed in the little bit of lag from time to time, overall the computer runs great.
TO ANYONE INTEND ON BUYING DELL LAPTOPS, DO NOT UPGRADE THE BIOS TO VERSION 1.4 OR ABOVE. That said, I have the Dell G7 version 1.2.1, and it performs very well so far. The thermal is good, the parts just below the hinges can get pretty hot, but the left side stays cool. I played overwatch on Ultra for 2 hours, GPU max temp is 45C. Solid build, although it's a bit heavy. The temp management is pretty good too. This laptop is solid unless you upgrade the BIOS. Do not upgrade the BIOS to versions beyond 1.3 (1.3 is ok, 1.4 or 1.5 are bad) due to the horrible fan management of the latter version.
my case is a little bit different, I actually get a replacement unit from Dell because my current 7567 is obsolete as they said. However when I ask they say they can't contact the assembly line to ensure which bios and lcd panel I will get, however I'm still asking them to try right now though.
@@cw1206 I see. Yeah it still doesn't hurt to ask them if they can do anything about it. I hope you do get v1.2. Most ppl who recently bought theirs still get that version (at least those who reported about it on reddit)
Wow. Incredible laptop. Amazing upgradeability/repairability. I do wish they would make the screen slightly brighter at about 300 nits.. apart from that, can't complain. Glad we're moving away from the nasty 'gaming red' colour scheme.
Callusny I just wished they would have made the hinges a little easier access. As a consumer I do alot of my own repairs and tweaks to my devices, but hinges require a lot of removal.
Just bought this laptop in white during Dell's Labor Day sale. Mainly using it for video editing in Premiere and After Effects. The 6 core i7 and 1060 Max Q is a big upgrade over my last laptop with a dual core i7 5500u and GeForce 950m. Overall this laptop is a great value and being able to get a 6 core i7 in this price range is phenomenal.
I have the 7577, also made a review of it - It's probably one of the best laptops that are still out there on the market. Competitive price and amazing value. Great Review as always, keep it up buddy!
CalculatinGenius yea I haven't had my 7567 for a year yet but I will be in the market for either the g8 or g9 (half year refreshes). I just hope that it stays available in that grayish black and blue.
Thats a really beautiful laptop! I kinda like the sporty style / feeling to it :D! Indeed it would be flawless if the bezels were more flushed, and the colors of the bezel matched the keyboard, and lastly with white LEDs, it'd be a hella beast! I'd pick it in a heartbeat XD!
An overclockable monitor and faster CPU are a big deal, so I went to get 7588 at Best Buy, but reviewers said it was significantly hotter and louder than the 7577.
Just got the g7 today!I was playing Doom for 4 hours straight in 4K and achieving decent FPS. Good machine apart from it gets warm wen your gaming on ultra settings for a while . but in medium and high doom settings it stays relatively cool. and doom is quite a demanding game.good machine!!!
You should of talked about how most people won't get this panel, dell uses multiple panels so it's essentially like a lottery, you got the auo version which in sure they sent on purpose, but most people will get the worse panel which looks worse and can only be over clocked to 64hz
dustan bird go to this link www.hwinfo.com/download.php , download the link on the left, install it, then extract the files, and run "hwinfo64." Once you do that, click on the "Monitor" tab on the left and it will either say AU Optronics or LG. I got this link from Bob Of All Trades' review video of the laptop, which is here-- th-cam.com/video/vBjgSfQTv5o/w-d-xo.html
I like how the 7577 was the 3rd version of the original 7559, however now it's 1st gen of the g7 as these look almost identical give or take the color. I would be curious to try one of these, however I couldn't justify giving up the 7567. The battery and sub, not to mention the all around look are just better in all terms. However the 7577 and this have mastered the keyboard flex. I'll givem that.
finally got mine coz of this review and i love looooove my G7 i even feel bad leaving it during the day when i leave for work to go work on a shitty lenovo
I really like thicker laptops but when its thin it does look clean and sleek but when its thick like some of the gaming laptops, I just have the sense that it looks so good, powerful and cool
The 2018 HP Omen has been released for almost 2 months now and yet not one channel has made a PROPER review of it. There are some videos out there but nothing near to Dave Lee here. Kindly make a review on it. P.S it has thinner bezels and is a great competitor to the dell G7.
What scares me is the fact that I got the i7 7577 last year, and I was looking for a version two, and I stumbled across this video. You said exactly what I had and what I wanted to go for, and it shook me
Thanks Dave, I don't regret my decision buying this laptop. Almost two years after I buy this beauty and still running like a beast. Got myself the i7 and gtx 1050ti one and battery is still 6hrs strong (last month checked). It's a shame that the entry G7 15 7500 model doesn't have a TB3 port
@@gideonunger7284 yups, have had this laptop for 4 years now, and my only problem is to change the battery. All else still works just fine. Maybe i will consider buying a tablet/pad because this laptop feels heavier year after year (or i'm just getting older lol)
just bought the g7 from best buy in black/blue with the 1060 and the 128gb ssd + 1tb hdd. all i can say is that i love it, highly recommend it! costed me a total of like $1346 i believe with tax + a gaming mouse
I have the G7 15 but my only con with it is when im playing games the fans are extremely loud and the laptop gets very very hot. Any ideas on what I can do ?? Sometimes when Im on google or just chilling on it the fans ramp up and then slowly go back down over a few minutes
I have the g7 with i78750 and 1060maxq! You should really consider repasting the laptop, undervolting and cleaning its fans! Max temps before was 99°c on 3.4 ghz and its 85 on 3.9ghz now
Just picked this laptop up after buying FOUR other laptops and returning them all because of horrible thermals! I havent fully tested it out yet but I can already see MUCH better thermals compared to the other high powered thin laptops ive tried. Yes its a bit thick and looks a little outdated compared to most of the modern laptops but i honestly prefer the thicker exterior for a real thermal solution. The only thing I wish is that Dell offered a 4k version!
5:06 😲😲😲 Amazing transition you did here. 👏👏👏 Bravo!
_窮 yeah that transition shocked me...
Mic drop at 5:06. Brilliant transition.
Agreed. Very creative
_窮 lol
I knew someone might have commented on it. It was refreshingly new.
5:06 That was slick, dude.
Ifkr?
Yeah that was awesome.
Tommy Oliver 3D at first i thought you can really do that on the laptop😂
I don't cover my mouth and go "damn" at editing from TH-cam videos but that shit was badass. Dude is TALENTED.
Clean af 👌
5:06 Oh my god that was so satisfying. Incredible editing, Dave.
That was a BEAUTIFUL transition 5:05
Hell Yeah best one I have ever seen most unique so far.

the rohitk Dell2D
THICC
they created this laptop in tribute to D2D
Although Dave is probably not as thick (and cheap) as the G7... and he's way better colour coordinated ....
ikr
5:06 oh my goodness. That editing tho
Pretty sick!
Seriously i was shouted what the hell out loud lmao.. at a god damn tech review.
After 2 years, Im still using it and its still kicking! this video is the reason why I bought this. Thanks Dave!
some reviews say that the screen is bad . 1080p version . very dim and poor colors . is it your case
5:07
Dat editing 🔥
That edit at 5:07 damn Dave
I gotta admit I was like O_O when I saw that. Great job @dave ....oh good job on the review to ^_^
This laptop is just so beautiful. You can even show this proudly in the office as well. Not many gaming laptops can do that.
True. I'm so sick of those black and red laptops with "sport car design". This one is beautifully elegant yet powerful.
This and the newer Lenovo Legion Y series give that minimal appearance
5:08 Awesome, just awesome !
5:07 is a very cool edit. Simple but cool.
I just bought the G7 baby wahoooooo and I m currently watching this video on my G7 oh yeaaaa and I got the 16gb with the gtx 1060 :D
how is the heat with it when under load? im currently thinking of getting it but scared of it being too hot

Will I be able to edit some videos on g7 gtx1060 with 8gb ram?
If Dave puts hearts next to the title you know it MUST be good
especially if the hearts are blue
Also; he always puts hearts on Dell's products, like xps 15 9560 and now G7 from Dell
Dell FTW 🖤
I agree
Indeed!
If Dave puts hearts next to a comment you know it's good
5:07 wow..
IKR
I got this after watching this review and it has served me well for 4 years . Upgraded to a Dell G15 now.
90% of comments are “omg 5:06 how?!?!”
The other ppl are sayin they could build a better desktop with 7 dollars
5:06 wow !!!
Who else recognised that there are 7 💙 for G7 😍
I Am Merciless that's a reference that I understand.
I Am Merciless And then, Igneel lost to Acnologia.
I Am Merciless LOL
I didn't notcie that googd observagion
Sherlock in the house!!
Dell heard your prayers Dave...
5:06 That wiping colour change transition was perfect.
Just got my laptop. It looks great and feels very sturdy and premium, even though the chasis is plastic. In terms of performance, out of the box I'm noticing lag on simple things like exploring the internet or opening up folders or programs, but possibly I have to run some updates first. I like the computer regardless and though I'm like 2% disappointed in the little bit of lag from time to time, overall the computer runs great.

When is the review of Dell g7 2019
I have the 7577, also made a review of it - It's probably one of the best laptops that are still out there on the market. Competitive price and amazing value. Great Review as always, keep it up buddy!
5:07 oddly satisfying
this review is the reason why I bought the 2018's dell g7 last year. thank you dave!
this thing looks sooo amazing.....love this color 😍😍
i am seriously thinking about buying it just for the new color
CalculatinGenius yea I haven't had my 7567 for a year yet but I will be in the market for either the g8 or g9 (half year refreshes). I just hope that it stays available in that grayish black and blue.
Andrew Blair i would also buy it for performance because i currently edit videos off of intergated graphics
Well I now know the naming scheme so the g7 v2 or v3
5:06 what the hell is that editing?!
Dude, your video editing is so professional. Love it ! Keep up the great work that you're doing.
5:07 nice touch man.. good laptop tho
XPS 9570 next! :) You can do it Dave! awesome vid.
I'm in love with this laptop, so much that i bought it and now i love it more

buying a gaming laptop to watch a guy eating pizza. Totally worth it.
That's not just any guy, that is Matt Stonie!

This is so retro. This color will look so awesome aged. At least in my opinion. Will be running this thing in 2040
That laptop is so you Dave! Great video!
Jayson Dilao white and mediocre?
BEST STAR Asian and High-preforming
That magic at 5:07 tho :o
I bought a gs66 with the 3070 today and compared it with my 7588 I’ve had for a year. I’m taking the gs66 back. Love my g7
5:07 whaaaat?
5:06 How you did that!!?? Mind blown!
after all this impressive editing, im not even sure anymore that i am watching these videos for the laptops
Dude that wipe effect... I almost had a heart attack!
just bought 7577 2 weeks ago and i love it
Noice so did I bought the i5 1060 one when it was on sale I kinda wish I would have waited for the g7 because of how nice it looks in white
I was wondering what the difference was aside from the ability to overclock.
John Smith the cpu only i think..
Totallybag _ but its already amazing i got the i7 one.if im wait for this one, its gonna be a long wait (third world problem)
An overclockable monitor and faster CPU are a big deal, so I went to get 7588 at Best Buy, but reviewers said it was significantly hotter and louder than the 7577.

Nice review! I love how simple it is to get to the internals.

SpenceTheMence but with 100c on the cpu??
put ice on it

Hey how about a review on the new G7 7590 (2019)?
Just picked this laptop up after buying FOUR other laptops and returning them all because of horrible thermals! I havent fully tested it out yet but I can already see MUCH better thermals compared to the other high powered thin laptops ive tried.
