+aaron4820 hah yeah they do

It also looks like "lcd endurence test".. The bottom ones are passed..

aaron4820 I agree with you

my cat is the one in charge of those screen endurance tests; my job's macbook air sadly didn't pass said test, I'm glad the people at IT reported it as a burned screen instead of a cracked one after explaining them what happened hahaha

Perhaps...in the end....they ARE all junk....🤔

Don't forget the MacBook stand for 1000$

Now this is a good comment

It's really not worth buying macbooks

Sorry, but it wasn't really a review but a list of things you should look at before you buy a laptop.

Have you heard of Dave 2D?

I agree with everything you said.

Yes that Dell XPS 15 is a nice laptop...or as you like to say, "machine." 😄

So u r a Layman?

*_Watching it in June 2019 and still very relevant._*

Im watching it in Aug 2019

Zahemi AZUL ISLAMI same, im getting a laptop for myself, first time in my life, idk what to get.

@@elangel986 good luck in your findings.. Like he said, look for what we intentionally user for...

Cool. Let's hope you get out more in video land for even more useful info.

I am working and saving as much money as possible. I have like 250$ and i have one year to save even more. Do the same, cut out any expenses that are unnecessary (fast food, new clothes ect) and try to find a job.

I have saved up for 20 high end laptops after a year of work, you can do it dude!

get some then. lol

People are smart. And you are proof. We just need to apply ourselves. Amazing what a little bit of research can do.

Lmao all the boomers piping in with their support is acc hilarious. Cant wait for Humphrey and Agatha to give their 2 cents.

mostly scripted (the bits where there's B-Roll) - and then to the camera stuff is off the cuff 🙂

The Tech Chap Right. Good luck with everything ahead man. Can tell that you'll be going places.

Great info delivered in such a clear way. This is just what I needed. Thank you!

@@Thetechchap Agreed. Well done. (Just watch that sing songy trap which can lead to becoming monotone...ending on the same note, especially the minor notes. Yikes. I'm sure u know, right!) Cheers!

+Christopher Smith that's really kind of you to say - thanks Christopher 😊

The Tech Chap hey what laptop will you recommend for uni students thin,light weight n good Battery life

It's a good laptop. I have a ryzen 5/vega 8 variant w/ 8gb ram and it's pretty good.

How much

covid 19 is waving

@@caloy6623 yeah in the uk is getting worse

There are almost no laptops that come with Linux preinstalled (Chromebooks don't count). If you want Linux, just install it yourself

I use Linux for browsing, it’s very snappy. However, I wouldn’t use it as my main OS

I recommend you to duel boot your pc or your laptop.

If you gonna use it for long time, buy thinkpad

Same except I'm in June lol

@@umchile4990 makes two of ous

what kind of tasks would you be doing on a daily basis and what screen size preference did you have in mind? the specs of what you need for your specific types of daily usage/workload may vary. for example, if you were to do light to medium gaming or video editing on a 15 inch screen, i'd recommend an i5-i7, 16gb of ram, and a dedicated graphics card with at least 2gb of vram to run okayish in 1080p. A 13 inch screen, you would likely be getting a display that would be 1366x768 and that would need at least an i3/i5, 8 gigs of ram, and dedicated graphics with 1gb vram for light-medium gaming. If you only really browse youtube and do zoom calls, then maybe an i3 with integrated graphics would work but i'd recommend an i5 with dedicated graphics whenever possible. I had an i3 laptop with 8gb of ram previously running intel graphics (128mb of vram modified to use 512mb) and it was just bad at everything. It would struggle to run youtube at 720p at 60fps. multitasking was barely possible and video calls would run HOT + stutter a lot. this video is older so his recommendations are a little out of date. Just stay away from celeron processors, pentium processors, and intel graphics. They only bring suffering.

What laptop did you get, why, what do you use it for, and what’s your opinion on it? A lot of reviews are unboxings where they don’t actually use it for a long time. I’m curious on someone who has used a laptop for a year now, judging on when this comment was posted.

Ditto

Im average while my brother (im a girl using my dad's account) is, a nooooooob

For anyone struggling with this, just go to an electronics store, and ask the laptop salesman "what would he choose for himself, regardless of commission" and they should genuinely help you. I work in an electronics store and while yes, sometimes commission will sway my decision, if I'm talking to a client who's really nice and friendly I will never give them a crappy thing.

@@paulayorinde6691 okay 👌👌👌

yeah. XPS is a cool laptop.

+alexadelaide true - but I wonder how many people would actually buy an external GPU to use like that

It opens up a lot of other options as well. I connect my tablet to 2 4k panels + power + usb hub with a single cable

I don't see a reason for it as with the money that you can spend on the external gpu case plus the gpu you can buy a low tear gaming computer with like 1030 or 980 and be do with it.

@@MrDragonorp agree, and the they won't utilize the full potential of the GPU

Kelkschiz completely agree. Refurbished is a great way to save money, especially if it's factory sold.

Can you help me to buy one? I live in Mozambique (Africa) and here is hard to find a good second hand laptop in reasonable price.

Hermenegildo Joaquim buy it on eBay

Hermenegildo Joaquim recommend getting refurbished laptops like from dell

Except for the battery

which one did u get ? 👀

Young Dumb and Everything in Between gonna buy it for study😇

Yea just for u cause the power is damn trash

@TheRBLXnoob GamerDev For gaming, but thats not important

@100 subscriber's without any videos challenge I hate to break it to you, but you need one too.

Its my dream .please let my dream come true ....sent me one 😅

Good point - difference between a U and HQ is very big. But I felt the specs/CPU was already getting a bit too complex, so i'll save that for a dedicated video :)

i7-7700hq and i7-8650U are same, when you dont use full power bose have same tdp

irakli Mgeladze Yes, in fact they have similar lv of performance when unlocked. So it's quite confusing to consumers when they are told that the latest gen is always better.

You are wrong. tdp have correlation with power consumption.If we compare 7700hq and 8550u, HQ have way higher maximum tdp (45 vs 25) and idle tdp (35 vs 10). The difference allow to have better battery life and more silent fan solution.

Anyone saying the 7700HQ and the 8650U are the same certainly doesn't know his lessons and needs to learn more. The i7-7700HQ is a high performance CPU with a TDP limit of 45W, making it perfect for people who wish to sustain a fixed clock speed of 3.5 Ghz across all cores for probably HOURS of extreme loads. Since most laptops with the 7700HQ are gaming laptops, one would expect the cooling is extremely good (if it's not, then just do NOT get that laptop and look for something better). The i7-8650U is a multimedia/general usage CPU aimed at people who use ultrabooks for very basic things like writing documents and streaming. Intel advertizes the CPU for its ability to clock to speeds of 4.0Ghz. Impressive isn't it? well not really I'm afraid. The 8650U's advertized TDP limit is 15W in most laptops (and an unlocked limit of 25W in some laptops), making it ANYTHING but suitable for long-period stress tests. The CPU can easily turbo clock itself to 4.0Ghz, but I assure you it'll only take 5-10 seconds before it throttles down to less than 2.5Ghz (since its base clock is actually lower than 2.0Ghz). Not to mention the usually very average cooling seen in ultrabooks, making the throttling instances much more common. If you know your stuff and want a high performance machine able to play games and sustain huge loads for a long time, get a 7700HQ, or even better, wait for the 8th gen mobile gaming CPUs which will be available in laptops by Q3 2018 (they may sport 6 core CPUs!). The 8650U should be kept for its original usage which is what I've mentioned above.

Thank you! Agreed! Typing this on my trusty going-on-five-year-old T440s! Want to upgrade to a ThinkPad X1 Yoga 3rd gen! :D

You can now, in the X1 Extreme. Only a GTX 1050, but it's there.

T-series? Are you even subbed bro

@@willywanker6239 🤦🏻‍♂️ he means the model T for Lenovo

Can’t agree more

@moo p

A year on the void of the internet, and no one (including me) could answer your pleas. I pity you friend. Ps. Hope you found what you needed.

Andrei Agulescu mass produced and razor thin profit margins I guess.

JR_UK you're right :)) but there are a lot of people complaining about the same issues though I guess their number is waaay smaller compared to the ones that never notice anything wrong. I usually inspect a device that costs a shit ton of money but maybe I'm weird.

JR_UK Mass produced? Not different from many other laptops, like Macbooks, which have amazing built quality. Razor thin margin? Maybe, but they are not cheap by any stretch of the imagination.

dysonlu Dell doesn' have Apple money though. I've returned a lot of iphone X for poor display quality. It's the downside of mass produced modern technology. Just keep returning until you get a good one or take your money elsewhere.

Get the hp spactre x360 15 inch, it will come out next month and it is worth it.

I really do like the Macbook Pro - I'm also getting regularly pissed off with premiere pro so considering a Mac / Final Cut.... maybe. :P

The Tech Chap what do you use right now? The Dell XPS 15? I can't decide whether to get the XPS 15 or Mac Pro
