This is the Dell e7440 i7 laptop. It's a reasonably priced machine that is great for school work or general interneting. Not so great for gaming or editing videos.
You can find one on Amazon here: amzn.to/2CXzT6R
I filmed this on a GoPro Hero7 black. You can find one here:

I’ve got one with an Intel Core i7, 8gb ram, and a 500gb hard drive. It was great until I dropped it twice. Now it’s quite slow. I had to get a replacement hard drive.

Mine is a Touchscreen carbon fiber that I bought in 2018. Only now I am having some issue - the screen went blank and I only can use connected with an external screen. But I enjoy this laptop SO MUCH. And you have no idea how many times I dropped, kicked, stepped on, spilled liquids on keyboard, etc. Never intentionally though lol. I am looking to update for the newer model for 2021 (sooo expensive) with the same construction material, because this is probably the most sturdy machine I ever had it and after upgrading the RAM, just became amazing! It traveled with me between states and abroad! If anyone can get one with i7 and 16 rqm/500 ssd Samsung, I believe will be very happy experience! And anyone can buy one with simpler configuration and upgrade later on!,

@@blackie75 HD is 1366 x 768.. which is 720p. Full HD is 1920 x 1080. The higher resolution gives you more screen real estate and crisper pics. If you are accustomed to regular HD it won't be a problem, but if you are accustomed to 1080p its hard to go back to the lower resolution.

@@MikeDancy bummer so hard finding something for under 600 in the used. Seems like every laptop have its little quirks and caveat nowadays. I think I found an X1 Carbon for a decent price I might go for that. Unless I come across a decent Surface Pro. The l470s seemed promising to start with too 🤷 Stay safe

Great video. I love this model, probably one of the best laptops I have ( and I actually have 3 of these ). Never let me down and it's quite solid. I have few tips for anyone looking for such machine: 1. AVOID the non-IPS low-resolution screen at any cost, it's horrible. Look around for the full HD model with the IPS panel. 2. Use a high-quality SSD like Samsung to have the best performance possible for this platform. 3. Install at least 8GB RAM ( 16GB max if possible ) and you will have one snappy machine to work on. Honestly, the only drawback I can think of right now is the lack of M2 slot and the outdated processor. But still, it performs like a charm.
