I remembered running StarCCM+ simulation for a flow in an aerospike nozzle. The meshing ran for 45 mins and then the simulation ran for 3 days. I had XPS L502X with i7 2670 processor and 8 gb ram. I wish more channels focussed on technical simulation and single-core performance of systems apart from gaming. I wished they could do activities apart from gaming.
The flow simulation that Linus team didn't understand is laminar airflow simulation through a venturi tunnel. The waist in the venturi tunnel according to Bernoulis equation changes the airs pressuare and airspeed relationship. Normally this is used in diffusers under a car to suck it towards the tarmac for incresed downpreassure on the rear wheels of a race car... I'm a Mechanical Engineer aswell 😄
The model you ran is actually a wind tunnel design. The honey comb is for removing any turbulence from the incoming air and creating laminar flow through the tunnel.
You'd be better off trying this in the North Eastern US or Northern Alaska if you want "Cold" than in BC. Vancouver is actually quite pleasant in the winter. Not really ever all that cold on the west side of Canada unless you go up into the mountains. Down on the islands or in the farmlands around Alberta it's not so bad.

Funnily enough, I’m actually setting one of these up for a client. Dell seems to have QC issues with the 7550 though. Out of 4 laptops that the client purchased for setup, 2 were defective and had to be sent back for repairs. Also, chonker is an understatement; this thing is a solid metal slab.
For my thesis work, I had to build my own desktop (with Ryzen 3) out of EBay to run asteroid dynamics simulations. It was amazing thanks to a lot of LTT videos though. Finally a video for people who use computers other than gaming. I can only imagine how good orbit determination simulation would look in this!🤩
I was quite furious when I found out that Acer used soldered on memory that can't be expanded on my laptop. It's 8 gigs, but still. Was there really no other way of doing this?
I have a precision from a few years ago. Other than the GPU seeming to not work anymore (have to further diagnose that), still a beast of a machine for a "laptop" (listed as a mobile workstation) even after 5 years. Did not cost anywhere near this, so I can imagine how good this one is.
No. Motion blur ain't bad. It's technically anti aliasing in time, and makes games look SO much better, less stroby and smoother imo. I do have an understanding for that the camera motion blur can be annoying, but per object motion blur should be on at ALL time. I feel bad for all games that doesn't have per object motion blur :(
@@tannersheppard9651 happened in my college, along with a lot of colleges. When you have to run a hard task like that from your dorm or room it becomes near impossible which is clearly why he just asked if they could render it for him and wanted feedback for if it worked.
@@username8644 Good for you, but not all university/college have that hardware. When I did architecture, our CAD lab had some 2011 (I think) Xeons (4 cores 8 threads), 4 GB ram, the cheapest quadro you could have bought in 2011-ish, 1 monitor (1080p) and Windows 7 baby. For what I know they haven't yet upgraded yet...
Damn, Simon is a genius. I wish I had the idea to send them my Numeric Calculus program exercises for them to run (my final one took more than a day to finish running on my computer).
as a structural engineering student, Id love one of these to bits! though, I cant afford one... :( still, my Asus GL502VMK with a 6gb 1060, 7700hq and 16gb of ram literally crushed our schools computer lab PCs (they had no dedicated gpu, a 4770k and 32gb of ram) in load distribution and structural collapse simulations while using Autodesk Robot :) I would really like it, though, if LTT could make more videos like these. Where they go in depth and find out what components, prebuilts, laptops etc that engineers and engineering students could have more use of... there are so many techtubers that focus on content creation, and neglect those of us who have very different use cases. I must admit that my school (Oslo Metropolitan University, aka OsloMet) has at least done some good, since they started recommending gaming laptops to new students after I complained about it :P
i'm doing civil engineering at Leeds University (UK) and after trying to render large scale revit buildings and having the computers crash / take 30+mins i decided to get a beefy gaming laptop as a workstation, cut render times to a fraction of what they were before and i can just pack it up and take it home with me.
I work in IT support for one of those oil and gas firms you mentioned. A lot of the engineers in this industry are extremely knowledgeable but not always highly computer-literate, so sending them hone with a machine that can do everything they need without having to access a cluster via VPN or deal with the complexity of an eGPU or the inconvenience of a desktop can start to make sense, especially considering the cost of an engineer’s time
I do flow simulation on an older version of that laptop and can agree with you i wasted a whole day trying to make a remote simulation work so rigth now i just set up a bunch of simulations on the day an leave them overnight.
10:23 OMG as a Dell Precision 7720 owner (the older model) I cannot begin to describe HOW OFTEN this happens without me noticing until I feel the warmth of the 91Wh battery through the palm rest! Woulda loved a magnetic charger or more friction or SOMETHING dell!
Hearing someone saying a macbook a "peasant" while watching this video from a country where having a macbook is an absolute way to flex is somehow refreshing
Because mac everything is just overpriced junk being sold by word of mouth from mouth breathers who know nothing about technology. I can't stand when someone defends their purchase of a brand new apple 1500 dollar soon to be obsolete paperweight by saying "it just works and I don't have to worry about it" only to have them complain about not having money for extra groceries or bills when they spent an absolutely ridiculous amount on that pos.
@@stanleyc2978 While we're on the subject of trashing apple, did you hear that IoS users were responsible for 80% of all microtransactions on PubG mobile? The game made 3.5billion and more than half of that comes from people with less brains than common sense.
You're right on the money with the use case! My precision isn't quite so decked out, but it's pretty powerful. I work on industrial automation for Oil and Gas, and some of our guys do go offshore. We all use the precision because the alternative from one of the vendors(Field Programmers and the like) are actually more expensive.
Has enough compute to make you go "Woah" ... Enough GPU to make you go "Damn" And enough ram to make you go "Wonder how many tabs I can open in Chrome?"
I work at a consultant company where we do engineering for materials, civil, environmental, and geotechnical. Our field testers and lab technicians (of which I am one) use old latitude laptops (I think mine's a 3750), but most of the engineers to my knowledge have precision or xps
@@YOU-ot9ep definitely! It can even give u motion sickness! But that's why PC is the god race of gaming... we can tweak our settings as much as we want!
I loved this review. Someone who doesn't just look at the gaming side. A friend of mine uses a laptop similar to this. Idk what it is sadly but a few years back he kept switching laptops every half year because 1. They either crapped out on him, 2. They just weren't powerful enough. He works on an oil station for months on end and only has a laptop during that period. He has to write a ton of stuff and does engineering stuff you guys benchmarked. I was just watching this for amusement but they are worth it for people who do have heavy workloads like the benchmark you did with the mesh rendering. Again. I'm no engineer nor am I planning to be one but it is nice you guys did do an excellent review on something that is useful for people that travel or offshore.

Screw the laptop I bet you're using a different camera. I love the quality, especially the skin tones, It's a movie level. I can't stop myself appreciating the production level and efforts you've put in each video, sure in addition to the content :D
There was a video where Linus explained that the video people convinced him that they needed Blackmagic cameras, and those *are* cinema quality. I think until a while ago they were using REDs (which are also cinema quality).
you know this is probably my favorite LTT video in a while now because its just refreshing to see them review and test a machine more in line of what I need and what I would use in a day to day basis. That is for work, if I needed something no mater if it was a laptop or new Fluke meter so I can test the ground potential of gas line or a new pressure pump and gauge to test and set pressure the price tag is not really an issue
Having the "mesh" in front of the intake smooths out the air so you get laminar flow in the windtunnel. If its a fan in the front you can model the fan and you'll get vorticies (as well as turbulence) downstream. You can see the mesh doing work by comparing the flow before and after the mesh - its evened out the flow and its laminar.
So you could model a more efficient laminar airflow in a scramjet engine for a new hypersonic nuclear missile and model the impact damage in real-time? Then feed it into the Woppar computer to improve the game! LOL.
@@siddarth_vader So they would be an air burst weapon. Hmm I thought there was an impact point and then the crater resulting from the nuclear detonation at ground l;evel. It coould still be fun to model.
I swear I wish they had an “Engineer/CAD model rendering benchmark” For reviewing laptops. Rendering architectural models/scenes is taxing on the system.
Mesh is converting turbulent flow to laminar flow. Reynolds number is reduced. Nice video, I'm planning on buying one this year. Running 300-400 chrome tabs, PCB design, mechanical engineering design, CGI weighs down my 16Gb of ram on an old machine (Lenovo Y-50) Take care everyone.
I have one of these, and USE it to the max running VMs for work, and astronomy image processing for fun. It is basically a desktop replacement for me. I need all the VMs to be portable as I do not have internet all the time. Often use it to demo complex Enterprise technology like Oracle RAC Database. I don't miss the nipple mouse at all. For cooling I run it on a cooling pad, docked driving a 48" curved monitor and a smaller 27" 1600x1200 monitor and have no thermal throttling issues. Wish I could cram another 128G of ram though. Also, Dell needs to support the 8T M.2 drives. 10GBaseT would also be nice, having to loose a USB port for 10G is not great. This is my third Precision Portable Workstation , and over all the experiance has been better than other HP, IBM, Toshiba and Dell consumer systems I have used. The support folks generally know what they are doing, and do t just shrug and say reboot. On my last unit dell replaces the cooling system 3years into be owning the machine due to its thermals degrading. That rocks!
I think officially even 4TB drives are not supported, although we know they do work. I guess 8TB SSDs would work too. I am not sure many people need 32 TBs of SSD in a laptop though.
Thank you so much for making this video. Configured as-is, this is way too much money… But the Precision lineup in general is rugged, powerful and does not get enough love for just being a good all-around laptop.
Another use case, not all large AEC firms will allow their projects to be uploaded to a cloud service like Autodesk's for rendering or the like due to security concerns, and thus all simulations/renderings MUST be done in house. My particular office does not have a server farm available for something like this, and while usually there is someone on the project with a desktop that can eat the load a little better (which is probably also why we don't have the mobile Precision lineup), this is not always the case due to a person's positions and likelihood to need to take their computer with them, either to meetings (in house and out) or travelling, very similar to an engineer going to an oil rig as mention in the video. Depending on the person's position in the firm or on a given job, this would be extremely useful (though maybe not with all the trimmings that drive it up to $13,000).
"Why would you want a pointing stick?" "This might be used by someone on an oil platform" You answered your own question there bud. Pointing sticks are fantastic when you have wet or oily hands, track pads are unusable in those situations.
These are a great second-hand purchase - I got the slightly later 7760 wirh i9 and Quadro A5000 for £1350.00 UK and have upgraded to 6TB of NVMe together with 128GB RAM. This came in at around another £350.00, so a huge spec of a machine for less than £2000.00. I use it for virtualisation (I have up to 14 virtual servers and desktops running for work) as well as gaming, which it handles with ease.
I have the 7540 (previous gen) and I love it. It’s a much lower spec but it’s great for my school cad ad game design work and the keyboard is great for essays and writing. I gave up on cheep consumer laptops and went for this. It was a great decision. I would highly recommend looking at lower selection versions especially when they are on sale.
Woohoo! Hi, my new writing laptop in 5-7 years! After it has turned from a $13,000 powerhouse into €400 antiquated equipment (which can still kick the ass of an average business laptop). Seriously, my current writing laptop is an old Precision M4700, after i bought it, I turned off the GPU switching, replaced the hard drive with an SSD, replaced the battery, put in 32GB of RAM and installed a fresh Windows 10. I use it for writing and occasional video and proto editing. Also, for self-defense, because it is so heavy and has corners so sharp, I bet I could crack a skull with it. It has never overheated, and with my use it rarely even gets hot.

The flow simulation that Linus team didn't understand is laminar airflow simulation through a venturi tunnel. The waist in the venturi tunnel according to Bernoulis equation changes the airs pressuare and airspeed relationship. Normally this is used in diffusers under a car to suck it towards the tarmac for incresed downpreassure on the rear wheels of a race car...
I'm a Mechanical Engineer aswell 😄
It’s also (one of) the fundamental principles which is used in both airplane wings and propellers, and in piston engine intake systems!
The model you ran is actually a wind tunnel design. The honey comb is for removing any turbulence from the incoming air and creating laminar flow through the tunnel.
VIDEO IDEA: "OVERCLOCKING CANADIAN EDITION" basically go outside when it's cold and see what OC u can get.
At -30 C, I bet even 64-core Threadripper won't need any cooling solution whatsoever
In Vancouver it barely goes below 0C in the winter
Timmy Joe (Canadian Tech TH-camr) did a video like that 1-2 years ago, you can check that out if you want.
You'd be better off trying this in the North Eastern US or Northern Alaska if you want "Cold" than in BC. Vancouver is actually quite pleasant in the winter. Not really ever all that cold on the west side of Canada unless you go up into the mountains. Down on the islands or in the farmlands around Alberta it's not so bad.

I loved this review. Someone who doesn't just look at the gaming side. A friend of mine uses a laptop similar to this. Idk what it is sadly but a few years back he kept switching laptops every half year because 1. They either crapped out on him, 2. They just weren't powerful enough. He works on an oil station for months on end and only has a laptop during that period. He has to write a ton of stuff and does engineering stuff you guys benchmarked. I was just watching this for amusement but they are worth it for people who do have heavy workloads like the benchmark you did with the mesh rendering. Again. I'm no engineer nor am I planning to be one but it is nice you guys did do an excellent review on something that is useful for people that travel or offshore.

Having the "mesh" in front of the intake smooths out the air so you get laminar flow in the windtunnel. If its a fan in the front you can model the fan and you'll get vorticies (as well as turbulence) downstream. You can see the mesh doing work by comparing the flow before and after the mesh - its evened out the flow and its laminar.
So you could model a more efficient laminar airflow in a scramjet engine for a new hypersonic nuclear missile and model the impact damage in real-time? Then feed it into the Woppar computer to improve the game! LOL.
@@PWingert1966 Air that fast is most definitely going to be turbulent. Also, nukes don't do impact damage, they blow up in air.
@@siddarth_vader So they would be an air burst weapon. Hmm I thought there was an impact point and then the crater resulting from the nuclear detonation at ground l;evel. It coould still be fun to model.

Wish I could cram another 128G of ram though. Also, Dell needs to support the 8T M.2 drives. 10GBaseT would also be nice, having to loose a USB port for 10G is not great.
This is my third Precision Portable Workstation , and over all the experiance has been better than other HP, IBM, Toshiba and Dell consumer systems I have used. The support folks generally know what they are doing, and do t just shrug and say reboot. On my last unit dell replaces the cooling system 3years into be owning the machine due to its thermals degrading. That rocks!

"Have you ever gone to a computer website?..."
ive never felt so attacked
Another use case, not all large AEC firms will allow their projects to be uploaded to a cloud service like Autodesk's for rendering or the like due to security concerns, and thus all simulations/renderings MUST be done in house. My particular office does not have a server farm available for something like this, and while usually there is someone on the project with a desktop that can eat the load a little better (which is probably also why we don't have the mobile Precision lineup), this is not always the case due to a person's positions and likelihood to need to take their computer with them, either to meetings (in house and out) or travelling, very similar to an engineer going to an oil rig as mention in the video. Depending on the person's position in the firm or on a given job, this would be extremely useful (though maybe not with all the trimmings that drive it up to $13,000).
