4 years later, still going strong!
İts good but i soled and now i have Lenovo beast
Same, I still use it, it is still a good laptop.
Mine has a broken hinge, very bad build quality
@@vaibhavsharma2467 my hinge is not in the best condition as well. However, I was aware of the build quality when I was purchasing it. That's why, I have always used extra precaution with it. I mean, at the time for the price, the specs were all I cared for, and only now after having a taste for Well Built machines that I find mine lacking. But still a fantastic machine nonetheless.
True! Still with an awesome performance
I'm always impressed the way you do the recap animations towards the end of the review. Do you have to animate it frame by frame or draw the shapes yourself? What program did you use? btw, great review as always
+Austin Hernandez You can do those effects in Adobe After Effects if you are really interested. Just paste your paths and add trim paths to them. You can add the start and end point. Hope you find it interesting.
lol me too
The hinge😭 THE HINGEEE‼️‼️ Okay my screw inside has been stripped, sooo how do I fasten this part so the hinge can operate well
Try and buy a thread lock or what I did to my other laptop screw/hinge problem was I put some heat shrink tape around the screws and now even if I try to get it out, It won't come out. Hope this helped.
I still own this laptop.. and 1 year ago the left sided hinge completely came apart. My dad helped me with some duct tape. Works like a charm now... I'm looking for a new laptop to get next week though!
Hinge gang coming through. I'm so frustrated with it. I'm trying to just make sure it doesn't get worse.
@@Drstrange3000 Duct tape
@@Drstrange3000 Joining the hinge club. Have had the laptop for a few years and had the issue shortly after buying it. The hinge is a lost cause, top of the laptop base is literally bent from constantly flexing in weird ways.
Very cool Dave, I ordered this laptop today and I wanted more input about it I'm glad it is mostly positive definitely deserved the 4-star review it got on the dell website. Cheers!
Grabbed the i7 version of this for 799 over the weekend, grabbed a ssd, extra stick of ram, an ips aoc monitor and new backlit keyboard all under 1000.
Granted I could of built a new tower but I personally need a laptop for portable podcasting and school.
I'm quite happy.
That's exactly my plan, how is it going for you? Any problems?
Rafael Jesus I received everything but the laptop unfortunately (didn't buy it on Amazon). As soon as I get it I'll let you know.
+Coty Rodriguez Thats a fantastic deal!
***** hell yea
+Coty Rodriguez I mean for 800 dollars you could've murdered any numbers a GTX 960m is putting out. But eh to each his own, the only thing that sucks is that you won't be able to drive any graphic intensive games next year, or even games like the Witcher 3
Typing this comment on this laptop right now. So far I'm pretty happy with it.
How is the display?
Congratz mate, getting one next week :)
***** Mine came with a 256GB SSD so I can't say.
Hah, same xD
I personally don't mind the trackpad and keyboard. They work pretty well for my needs :DD
does it run games well? im looking at some videos of the laptop gaming and it doesnt look great but i think thats because of my crappy current laptop. Plzz let me know.
David, I wanted to say thank you for this review. I was looking for something that could handle Overwatch well and was portable. Now that I got it, it was exactly what I was looking for. Thank you.
Thx for your accuracy! it's been difficult to find out all these info all together. with your help i've extinguished my doubts.
TYPING IN 2020 AFTER 4 YEARS OF USE, I kept this bad boy and will continue to do so a little longer. This laptop has held up well for me! I watched this video and was instantly sold. The material of the laptop definitely gets dirty and gets scuffs like Dave said. It's no Alienware tank but it's got some weight. It's about average thiccness especially compared to all the sleeker and thinner ones coming out. I take it around a lot so there's that. I do clean whenever necessary though. Battery life is shite now (1 hr) but that's to be expected. I just have it plugged in now. Another weird issue is the keyboard. It is nice to type on BUT I've noticed that when i play LoL (AND ONLY LoL) the keyboard would die and nothing (but my mouse) would register; even the power button! THANK GOD for the single screw back (WHY DON'T ALL LAPTOPS HAVE THIS FEATURE??), that thing is so convenient and has saved my life during league games since I just pop out the back, unplug the cable connected to the battery to turn it off and boot up again which takes like a minute. Idk if its because i have wallpaper engine running in the background or the laptop itself is getting old or Riot Games just hates me. The hinge was a temporary issue as it kept popping the base corners of the laptop up and then down when i would lift the screen up, thus making a loud snapping sound every time. I found a video that said it was a loose screw in the back (inside) that needs to be tightened. I opened it up and screwed both tight again and it was good as new! Speakers are alright but i use a headset. I do notice a stutter sound, maybe driver issues idk but not often. I've kept this baby cleaned and updated internally. I got 8gb extra ram, an SSD to use as my OS, and use the 1tb HDD as storage. The power connection and headphone jack on the left side are a BIG PLUS. Some new laptops today have it on the right and it gets in the way of my mouse. Unfortunately the ethernet is on the right, but i use wifi mainly anyways. Fans don't get too loud; even then I've heard louder fans. The thermals on this is NICE! It's no HP OMEN 15 ice cold but I never had to worry about my fingers and palms burning (Looking at you Asus). It still handles games really well but, of course I have to make a few sacrifices in quality graphics. I've played League and other mobas comfortably on high settings, The Division 2 tolerably on lower settings, and even Apex Legends on mid settings. Sure it's a bit older, but I can see myself comfortably using this for another 2 years. I don't mind looking like a Flintstone with a dinosaur. Cheers to whomever got around to reading this and thanks to Dave2D for this awesome recommendation! It's gotten me through college, saved some cash in pocket, and continues to hold up well!
Hey did you ever upgrade to a new laptop from your Dell Inspiron 7559? My 7559 is 6 years old now and I think its time for a new laptop. No idea what I should get though
can it run cool math games
Nathaniel Andrew about 4-5 frames. Cool math is very demanding. If I were you I would upgrade to a nuclear reactor to get an extra 2-3 frames. Good luck finding your next pc
it can run Meth game
no, nothing can run meth games except them Japanese supercomputer, but then it can only reach 10 fps

hey Dave. awesome channel. I have been following tech channels forever now. so glad I found yours. Best laptop reviews on TH-cam imo. keep it up.
Thanks! Glad you enjoy them :)
As a video editor and motion grapics artist i must tell you that your work reviews is amazing!!nice job done in AE

I found this and it looks like a better version of this laptop for the same price is it true?
Just did a little research for you. Looks like that laptop right there is the same model with a better graphics card, and it usually costs $100 more but is currently on sale for $1 more than the model below it.
fantastic! I think I'll go for it
+Lui B awesome!
+Isaac Chandler I'm searching for the same thing.. can you tell me if this is the same one and the difference? thanks! www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B015PYZ0J6/ref=psd_mlt_bc_B015PYZ0J6
I actually love your vid reviews :)
thank you!
+Dave Lee Nice video dude. Do you think the version with intel i5, 1 tb and 8gb ram could run BF1? Id also like to know what the background music is, the one that's played throughout the video, not the intro. Thx :D
Does Doom run on this laptop ?
+Dilichi Okekearu it would run bf 4
I just discovered your channel and the production quality made me subscribe
Thank you Dave, I made my choice and pulled the trigger on this laptop. I really hope the rig can handle Quantum break. It already handles the division on 1080p medium settings at 30 fps gets better with 720p. Love your laptop reviews and thanks again for making my decision easier.
Ok lemme be frank. I watched *Linus* 's review of this laptop few minutes back. Why i kept looking for more videos of Dell 7559 ? Because Linus's video, although a great watch, was not as informative as it should be (20% of video being Advertisment). Your video tho, was very informative and has enough info and insight to warrant a purchase decision. Anyone watching this video doesnt need to go looking for other review videos. Oh and the ending recap part was awesome.
+Mike Messiah this review helps
me to decide which laptop fits my needs :)
can I use my TV instead of screen of the laptop when doing colour accurate things, will it do better?
wow super informative in a short period of time. You even showed us how loud and warm it gets never saw this i a review before. Really good job man!
Hey bro those blue books under that monitor, freaking sweet man. Makes the entire setup look even more sophisticated and clean. Awesome man
Can it run a marathon?
hahha
Sean Miranda you might get a few scuffs and chips but yes it can roll faster than usian bolt and maybe win the marathon
Dell 7559 on ebay.to/2fcLxj7 for anyone looking for one
can it handle a cringe stress test ?
Anyone using it in 2019?
Me😁
Does it run modern games well?
Here here
@@thibauthsankeu26 no. maybe this comment is too late but i don't recommend you get it. search up "dell 7559 hinge problem" to see why. eventually the laptop will start falling apart on its hinges. mine did and it cut my wifi card wire when the hinge came off, so now i have to use a usb wifi adapter. the charger jack also broke for no reason, and after i replaced it, the computer refuses to charge the battery, so i have to run the laptop directly off of ac, which means really decreased performance. the laptop was great when i first got it but now i wish i saved that $900
@@noookii the hinge problem is terrible man. it didn't ruin my wifi card but did ruin the sound coming out of the speakers i suppose. such a good laptop with a horrible hinge
Well my one has a broken hinge ad well, still running CSGO 200+ fps
This was definitely the most helpful review of this laptop that I found, I will probably be purchasing this one once I have saved enough money, thanks!
I just order my dell 7559 from walmart got the Intel core i7 version. Thank for the helpful video reviews.
Has it for 3 years, still in perfect shape, I had adding another 8gb ram and m.2 memory for it, and I happy with it.
could you suggest the m.2 ssd you went with and how was the performance?
I hear this laptop can run Solitare at 18,856
Grabbed this for christmas. Gotta say im quite happy! Although mine doesn't have the backlit keyboard, which isn't a big deal.
I want this sooo badd... my 2013 model without the dedicated graphics still works great but I would love to upgrade.... Great review!!! Def subscribing!
can this run club penguin?
Xavier Xavier good joke bro
Xavier Xavier I got it running at about 0.0000000000000001 of a frame per second with anti aliasing off and res at 1X1 my 5 billion dollar desktop can play at about 0.000001 frames per second it's a very demanding game
Club Pinguin is dead
Xavier Xavier sadly nothing can run club penguin now :'(
lol its 2017 now rip my soul
I got the gtx 1050 model yesterday and it crushes games...
Theflipgamer does it overheat? How is the cooling?
@@AJ-ks2qp I have 5577 , it actually has more vents than the new g3
GTX 10XX series is not better than GTX 9XX series when it comes to laptop gaming, it's even worse :P
@@AJ-ks2qp naah it stays cool under load too. It reaches max 85°-90°c under load with a little throttle
For how much?
Actually I've got a similar version of this laptop on 2017 called Dell 5577, with a GTX 1050 4Gb, I5 7300HQ, 128Gb SSD + 1TB HDD and 8 gigs of DDR4. I'm impressed how the thermals in this laptop are so good, almost no throttling!
well good reveiw like usually.. i like when you showing the internal of laptop its give me certainty about hardware build quality.. thanks dave :D
As long as I can play warframe, as well as school work it is good enough for me.
Dave can you possibly do the 2015 HP Envy 13t?
+adam khwaja Yes, it is a great laptop. I want him to review it because I want to know what components (like ssd) can be upgraded
It looks so sleek in its thin aluminium casing 👌
and envy 17t quad version too
and envy 17t quad version too
+Dave Lee I just recently bought a 2015 HP Envy 13t. Hoping it's a good buy, it's supposed to arrive soon. I'm waiting for your review. My biggest concerns are the battery life and the speakers. Please please please review it!
Got this laptop a couple of days back with the i7 variant for 899. Totally worth the money. Throw in an extra 30 bucks and can be upgraded to 16 GB Ram as well. Thanks for the great review!!
Thanks man for this review, straight go buying it, just this beast yesterday. Buying i7 version.
My laptop just died after 8 years of hard work
Ever since the XPS 15 came out, every 15 inchers looks so bulky and heavy... I know this is way cheaper than the XPS 15 but... Nah, It's too large for me.
+山内淳カイル ya the XPS 15 is definitely a better laptop in every way but the pricing on the 7559 is pretty awesome.
+Eray Icoz I sure do! =) hah. Thanks for the awesome support over the past few months!
+Eray Icoz yep! First found his channel when I was looking for reviews of the XPS 13. He gained lots of subscribers in a short period. Proof that he produces quality videos. Keep it going Dave! :)
+山内淳カイル are u chinese?
+MrCoreNumber Nope, I'm Japanese :)
Im new to your channel but I have to say amazing video and very high quality edits. You just earned yourself another subscriber. Great job!
Didn't know Intel was doing i5 quadcores on laptops now, nice! You deserve a lot more recognition! you're reviews are easily on par with Marques Brownlee, Austin Evans and Linustechtips! Kudos!
800 dollars, quadcore, GTX 960M, 1TB hdd + another slot. Also didnt know Dell was really that upgradeable (hasnt been for a long time) seems like a solid laptop :D
does it have a HDMI port??
+trinitysoul th-cam.com/video/r_8yFIYxP4s/w-d-xo.html
yes
I wonder if it's good for video editing. It should be since it has a quad core i7 chip.
of course nice
+Ronald's World and Opinions Thats what I use it for and I have the i7 version. It works for me. I know some people say it isnt good but I am no professional either. Also the gaming is awesome on it I play Fallout 4 on ultra settings and it never lags looks great.
I got this laptop with the 256gb SSD off of Amazon early last month, and I honestly love it. It's kinda cheapy in terms of some things, but it's still really, really good. For an $800 it's an awesome machine, and I honestly wouldn't hesitate to go Dell again when it's time for an upgrade.
Is it still worth it to get this at the end of 2016?
BobReadsComics no don't get this
***** why not
BobReadsComics Wait for gtx 1050ti
***** No I meant the same price range laptops with GTX1050ti is coming out. And 1050ti mobile is superior compared to 970M.
+Ryan Origin Do you have any source confirming this?
Can it run Csgo and minecraft?
Thnx bro
max settings cs:go
gtx 950m can run cs:go at max hovering at 140 fps.
Yeah it can i reccomend if you havent bought it yet
Ace Of Spades yes it can
HelloHowRU thnx
loved your reviews! very useful. helped me make a better informed decision about buying this laptop. thanks!
I love your laptop review videos! especially the quick recap animation at the end.:) Maybe for future gaming laptop vids you can push the GPU with more intense games like The Witcher 3 just to see how it fares.:) Anyway, again, REALLY LOVE YOUR VIDEOS! KEEP IT UP!
@Dave Lee The one on amazon comes with a 256gb ssd for the same price. :)
+Diwash1 it totally does! Even better value =) amzn.to/1ItCftz
I don't think that's a stock item from Dell but that's awesome.
+Dave Lee
But it is being sold by seller 'dell' on amazon.
Could this run Grand Theft Auto 5 on high settings?
ehhh. not smoothly
Dave, I know you get a ton of comments (and keep up the good work by the way, love your videos), but I've asked this on a lot of your videos now hoping to get it answered (it isn't about tech, and I don't know if you'll read this if it's not), so I'd like to ask where you get your music from. I've checked the descriptions and every place to find music I know of. I can always find your intro music, but never music by FILI, thought I did find a song credited to FILI by Robotaki so... Anyway if you could help me out with this that would be really great since I would love to listen to your music in my free time (it's very relaxing and just cool in general). Sorry this comment is so long, but I've spent most of my summer vacation searching for your music and it's really frustrated me to not be able to find it. Sorry this comment is so long, but if you or anyone else knows please tell me or direct me to someone who does. Thanks a lot, and I hope you see this. (Everybody else please like it to help Dave see it better).
FILI is a friend of mine. He's been meaning to setup a soundcloud to host his music but he hasn't the time yet =/ Sadly there isn't a way to listen to his tracks online right now. I'll def update you guys when he does post his content online.
Okay. That's too bad, but thanks for the reply. Keep up the good work!
I've seen a video where they ran GTA V on this at Ultra settings with a high 50 frames per second
Man I love your videos it's fun to watch, short but very informative. Keep it up! :)
great video. you have actually managed to convince me to buy this one. and also thanks for the video.
Damn it Dave... Stop stealing all my views on this laptop... :(
Don't worry I will still watch your review
+FatedCb Lol
+FatedCb please respond how do i turn wifi on :( it says off
My brother just baught it.
How is that going for him?
+Rafael Jesus He loves it. he plays fallout on it all day, great laptop for $800 it beats some other more expensive ones.
+Justin Yu I think I'll buy it, here in the uk the base model is 750£ but has i7 sky lake . And later I'll get an 2.5 ssd and later on still have the chance to improve ram and m2 which sounds quite future proof. Thanks for your reply
+Rafael Jesus I'd suggest you just get the SSD that can be found in one of the models.
+Nicholas Li my problem is that I can't find either on Amazon eBay or any other seller the 1080p screen with ssd, if it has ssd always has 4K screen
Hi Dave, that's a really nice channel you've got right there! Haven't been able to find even a decent review on laptops so stumbling upon this was like hitting gold. I saw both your reviews on the Inspiron 7559 as well as the XPS 15 and kinda fell bad for having ordered the 7559! Being a student it was important to go for something that fitted my wallet but being a design student, it was important to have a more colour accurate screen as well. I went in for the 4k display model despite wanting more battery life purely cause the Dell executive told me that the 4k panel was more colour accurate then the FHD one! I even settled for some glare compared to the matte display of the FHD and paid more purely cause colour accuracy is important! However, your review really puts me to doubt and I would want to know the colour fidelity of the 4k panel used in the 7559. I just couldn't find this information anywhere so can only rely on people like you to help me with such information. your response would really be appreciated as the laptop hasn't arrived home get but I just got the shipped notification. I'm hoping to be able to cancel it should the display NOT be colour accurate. However if it even comes slightly closer to the one on the XPS, then I would consider having paid more a worthwhile investment. Hope you can help :)
Your editing skills are amazing man!
Could this run Overwatch?
easily
+Dave Lee Ok,thanks.
This laptop VS the HP Pavillion 15-ak030nd? I want to play games like GTA V and Euro Truck Simulator 2 on medium/high settings with at least 50 frames. But I also desperately need it for school and I just can't choose between the two laptops. Do you have any suggestions or ideas? Please. xd
+Unkel Dolan dell Inspiron is $799 on Amazon with the i7 model. You should get this one it can run GTA V on medium at 60 FPS.
TheChaosPredator
Already found another laptop. still €999,- but it has tons more upgrades. can always trade it in if I want another but thanks for the heads up, I appreciate it :)
well i think i found my first gaming laptop (^ω^)
I want this so badly. thanks for the review
Ik this video is old, but first one I've seen....very nice video editing, filming and what not 👍👍👍
$800 is not a fucking budget
For a laptop it really is
Especially a gaming laptop under $1,000. Sounds good on paper, but a bit worried about the other known issues being present according to the Amazon top critical reviews.
it really is compared to other laptops with the same or similer hardware its a really good deal for a gaming laptop
Getting this for Christmas
These early videos gives me a nostalgic feeling, omg! Its not that too long ago.
5 years and looks and works new... I have 16 gb ram of and use it for work running all types software engineering programs and virtual machines without a hiccup!! I also install a 1 tb backup hard disk!!
Hey man great work, i love how you also do a recap, it is really helpful, i subscribed!
Love the reviews. You say exactly what I wanna know.
thanks Dave your channel is the go to channel for tips buying laptop 👍👊
Love your videos Dave! Hope to see you reviewing MSI laptops as well...pretty confused which one to buy.
your content is up there with the biggest TH-camrs, keep it up
I like how you always review the game that I always play :D Subbed!
I ve never been sure what computer suited me best until i found this one. Thank you +Dave Lee. Also the fist game i will buy when i get the dell is the rainbow siege. Great video.
I have this laptop and this video helped a lot on things I need to upgrade on it.
Really good review man, quality content
Waiting for more of your reviews bro😃
your videos are always so relaxing c:
Thanks for Explanations Dave!!))))
Man Dell have come a long way. I have a 2011 Dell inspiron 15, which I bought for $600. 1366X768 screen, dual core i5, HD3000, and it idles at 60dB.. I can't wait to get this for university.
Very helpful review. Was looking for a sub-$1000 notebook with gaming capabilities and decided on this one with the i7 CPU. Planning on upgrading the HDD to a SSD and maybe later adding a 8GB stick for 16GB total RAM. Was also looking at ASUS ROG notebooks or MSI, but those were much more expensive for not much more performance (they usually had something like 128GB or 256GB SSD plus 1TB HDD, same CPU/RAM, but $1200 price, which is more than buying this Dell and upgrading the HDD to a SSD).
thank you for this review! i needed this!
Love your reviews Dave 👍🏻
it has some nice specs for this price... i am surprised actually ...
Good review !!
Thanks, very good review! :)
Got the same thing with 256 SSD rather than 1TB HDD on amazon. loved it!
This is such a great review. You deserve more subs.
oh and maybe you could do a top 5 gaming laptops under 1k video ? i'd reaalllly appreciate it dave! keep up the good work!
Thanks. Good review! Helped a lot.
Thank you for such an awesome review!
Your reviews are very impressive ! Subsribed
I came here from ebay. the base is 750 new and i7 is 799. Definitely going for the i7 hopefully in the future an ssd, and some extra ram. Thanks dell and d2d for the info and the amazing laptop :).
Great video as always.
you are a good reviewer. you have a new sub, friend!
Great reviews!
Great review! Keep it up!
Great video!
Great video! Thanks for the info.
Just upgraded from this laptop to an MSI Prestige 14. However, I gave this laptop to my sister and it is still running strong 💪💪💪💪
Awesome review!!!
I notice you play a good amount of games Dave. Have you ever considered doing game reviews or something of the sort in addition to your tech reviews? You have such a clean review style and I, personally, would love to see that there too.
of all the reviews of gaming laptop l,
this dude was the only one who features dota2 in gaming.
MY GOD! you just saved me man!
thank you very much! 😉👌👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
can this laptop get upgraded from Intel core i5 to intel core i7
no, get the i7 version
I ended up getting this laptop. It honestly is fantastic. It can play small games like no issue. And for more intense games like GW2 if you have it plugged in the fans get a little loud but it gets the job done. It's great for this college student who needed a portible computer but didn't have enough money for a PC and a more class friendly laptop. The only issue I had was the hindge was weird at one point but we found out it's just because a screw was loose. I highly recommend it!
iam type the college that dont have money but gratefully pc parts price so great in late 2022 and early 2023,i using this laptop for college and also gaming in the pc for thriple A game
