Why did linus paint his toenails???

"its easy to get inside... it just takes one screw"

Just wanted to let everyone that stumbles back on this video know...this machine still holds up really well. I purchased it 3 years ago and I have only had a few issues. One of which being that the computer would turn off without warning when it was on battery. At first I thought it was a bios issue but I am confident now that the battery connection was just a bit finicky. Another reason this laptop has performed so well over the years is its upgradability. I purchased another 8GB of RAM bringing it up to a nice future proof 16GB. I found that the 256GB SSD filled up very quickly for games so I also purchased a 1TB hybrid drive, which at first drastically slowed down boot-up times, but this has been resolved with bios updates as well. All in all I still agree with most of Linus' points from 3 years ago. I bought this for college and it has served me well. My only huge cons are that the thing weighs in at about 9 lbs, so it's not exactly kind when lugging it around. Also, the battery has not held up well, though that may just be my unit. I typically am getting about 3-4 hours of normal use now (no gaming). Despite this, I am likely going to purchase a Macbook Pro for my last 2 years + beyond. This is because it is far more portable, far more professional in appearance, and an all around better laptop to carry day-to-day in a working environment. This is not to say the Dell Inspiron 15 7000 gaming is going in the trash, though. It will remain plugged in while I build my own gaming tower (which could easily take a couple more years, and this laptop is going to work just fine until then. Closing thoughts: in my opinion, still one of the best budget gaming laptop options (even in 2020!) for highschool students soon transitioning to college.

Why do i find these types of video after i get a pc........

Wait what? Since when are we complaining about SSD's at SATA speeds? How the fuck can you possibly complain about that?

Did you know that this is the Laptop used by Ned the best friend of Peter Parker in Spider-man homecoming, "Deactivating Training wheels protocol" scene.

Note: This laptop does not include a built-in DVD/CD drive.

20mb download speeds at max? Won't be a problem here in Australia

His nails always look so nice.

I got this laptop in 2017 and used it until early 2021 and here are some things to look out for if you are buying it second hand: - The asdf and jkl; keys (or the middle row for some other users) will not work for whatever reason until you perform a keyboard replacement yourself - Make sure to clean out the back vents because they can get easily clogged with dust, and the metal grills could be bent over one another as a result of extensive wear and tear and could block cooling - The battery will need a replacement by now as they diminish pretty fast Other than that this laptop is a very good bargain if you want to game at a very cheap price used in 2023

5 years later update: My 7567 still works pretty well, the only thing I had to replace was the battery that was starting to bulge (and the screen, but that was my fault cuz I accidentally stepped on it, but I ended up getting a better panel than the original TN so anyway). Also, I added another 8 GB Ram stick (Got a nice 2×8 pack of Corsair vengeance), so now with 16 GB it works better than ever! Mine came with a 1050 (not the TI version) and it still holds well. I don't play AAA games regularly, but GTA V still plays well, and I had no problems running Battlefield V; I mostly play things like Minecraft, World of Warships, Rocket League and Battlefront II, all of them running well, even more so after the RAM upgrade. The only thing I would complain about are the loud fans, which doesn't bother me much seeing as I'm always wearing a headset when playing, and how heavy it is. Honestly, unless something happens to it, I don't see myself buying another laptop for another 2-3 years, possibly more

I want this. I need this. I must have this. *checks wallet* *tumbleweed rolls away* Damn...

You know shit is serious when it has a sticker with "GAMING" on it

Hey, if you find yourself on this video, I’d like to report my model still works great, bar a few issues. Now, I’d like to mention this is a core I7 variant with a 1TB hard drive, not the exact one in this video. It’s still good on performance, with CSGO being handled at even high settings at 60FPS. Although, it’s cooling is not what is described in this video. It thermal throttles very often even with a cooling fan underneath the system. Maybe that’s just my old laptop getting older. The hard drive is molasses slow and the SSD isn’t much better, but if you need a lot of storage, it’s not the worst investment. I couldn’t recommend it as a daily driver nowadays, but if you find it for cheap and want a decent gaming experience...it’s pretty good and should serve you well.

Those long blue fingernails really must be a pain in the ass for ergonomic typing

I got the previous Model (the 7559) about 1 year ago partly because of linus' review, and i'm super happy with it.

arghhh, when they were bending the screen and base i was screaming!

Idk if Linus or anybody will see this but if you do, please upvote it for linus to see, I bought the dell G5 and it worked fine until the 1.4 bios update and it broke the fans, like fans literally kick in only at 75 ° celsius, Linus, please, reach out to dell since they won't listen to commumity, thank you and I hope you get to see this message!

I love mine. I bought the same config except I got one with an ips screen and added a 1 terabyte hard drive

3:58 You might not be doing any CHILLING while you Netflix

I bought this laptop in 2018 and it still holds reasonably well 3 years later. Although the Indian version does not have the cool bezels and red colored cover, it looks quite cheap here with not so good build quality. But performance wise, it has been an awesome experience with this product. Coupled with the 74 kwh battery pack, the on time is awesome. I can do tasks that require low computing power without plugging it in for hours at a stretch. It runs games like csgo, valorant, ARMA 3, etc consistently at 60 fps, although I won't recommend to play any new game at high settings. Haven't faced any overheating problems yet and I cannot remember one single incident of it crashing. Overall, a great investment none the less.

Last time I was this early La La Land was still Best Picture

5:44 wait wait wait wait wait. 20 mb/s is slow?!?!?!? I only get 3mb/s how does one get above 20?!?!

I am thinking of buying this one..is it good for video editing??

i got the higher model version of this laptop on facebook for 300$ yesterday an absolutely love this computer and im glad to see linus talk about how great it is 3 years ago

Since when does Linus wear blue nail polish?

can we get normal hands on here again? really breaks the flow

Recently found your channel and currently watching on this exact laptop! You hit the nail on the head, it's a great laptop for simple gamers like me. I've had it for 4 years, used it for business and gaming, and haven't had any issues as of yet. Most recently I've been playing Assassin's Creed Valhalla and it seems to work fine. I always have to drop a few settings but that's fine with me :)

BTW the speaker under the unit is labeled 'Woofer' on the inside and its not a SUB woofer

Can someone explain why Linus painted his nails?

Glad someone took screen for what it is..It really is a solid screen for TN panel..much better than most of TN panels that are put in cheap laptops..

So now that it's cheaper it's probably time to buy one :)). I've been looking around all night at comparisons between laptops and the HP Pavilion whatever with an 8300h and 1050 ti sounds good on paper given the CPU performance boost, but thermals seem doubtful to say the least.

It's IPS now as default. Just ordered the 7567 five minutes ago (Cyber Monday) from Dell's site for $830 US including tax with free shipping. Best Buy/Amazon/Newegg are still selling the TN ones so I advise buying directly from Dell.

how to make a gud laptop gud kibord smuth maus pd apiling luk gud spects dnt maek it sck

You should make an up to date 600$ pc build guide for someone who is going to college and needs a pc for light work and heavy gaming

Bought the black version late in 2017 (7700HQ / 1050Ti / IPS). Replaced the ram with 16GB (2x8GB 2400MHz) Corsair Vengeance (dual channel makes a big difference), installed a 500GB WD Black NVMe boot drive (later replaced with a 1TB version by WD under RMA) and last year swapped out the original SSHD for a SATA Seagate 1TB SSD. Great platform, easy to upgrade and still feels like a little rocket ship in 2021. It can keep up with the GTX 1060 in thin & light laptops of the time mostly because it doesn't thermal throttle all that much with the robust cooling. I play FPS' mostly, this thing flies with recent iterations of DOOM, Wolfenstein etc.

Before IPS no one complained about TN...

Don't mention how *HORRIFIC* Dell's customer support is!

Did I hear it correctly when you said "an empty RAM slot?" Does this mean it comes with 1x8? Can I just toss another 1x8GB in and be happy?

I happily received this for Christmas and it effectively runs Windows Mixed Reality VR and I cannot recommend it enough for a well priced gaming laptop. Only complaint would be the amount of storage, but intend to look into expanding the storage soon.

Hey Linus, I love your channel. Can you do a review of the new Inspiron gaming 7577?

If you went 10 years back and brought a chromebook with you, they would think that under $1000 would be too little for it . . .

To be fair, Linus, the fact that it is only a SATA SSD means nothing to a student. I mean it obviously would not be used for media creation with only an i5, 1x1 wifi and 8gb ram. it's pretty clear why they went with a SATA SSD and not NVME. And it's still an SSD. massive improvement over a 5400 rpm Hard drive.

my friend has this and i can personally say its a beast when he comes over to lan. im actually thinking of getting one or similar for myself.

Just ordered the version with the i7 plus 1TB drive, can't wait to use this.

oh god i hate those long nails

still more than 2X powerful laptop than the CrapBook

Hi Linus! Can you tell me which laptop can last longer and has a good cooling system? Dell Inspiron 7567 or Lenovo Legion Y520? And which one would you choose?

Still works kinda fine for me. Bought it back in summer 2017. I only have 2 issues with it: thermal throttling, and power throttling after the original charger broke. It literally refuses to draw full power from any non genuine adapter.

Linus, I have something to tell you... CUT YOUR NAILS! Youre making knives look old!

Loved the case at 6:33 with "Computer" on it.

When they started bending the screen I almost had a heart attack

I managed to find one this year for $350. Sure there are far *better* options now, but given the current tech market and the way prices have been the last year and a half, I’m happy with it. I only got it for the purpose of being a portable console whenever I travel & a htpc when I plug it into my tv. I’m surprised that it still holds up so well. Mind you, mine had the ram upgraded to 16gb when I bought it, so a little more value thanks to the previous owner.

I just checked the Dell configuration page and it looks like I can get the IPS screen at no extra cost.

This laptop is obviously not worth it because there's no RGB

i got the i7 version way back 2017. Still works efficiently as when i bought it. Will replace some parts next month specifically keyboard and led screen and probably battery. But over all i still love my inspiron 15 :)

I love this dude when it comes to getting a new computer because he knows everything about computers

I had a RAM stick, but I ate it

Linus you know better! Low spec pc benchmarking always needs a CS:GO test!

I bought the IPS version of it. Wandering if this one reviewed is an IPS panel?

I got the $1099 model coming in the mail soon. I'm so excited. My previous laptop is a HP touchsmart amd integrated graphics and it can't run anything at all.

I actually watched this video with tunnelbear

"when "I" have my thumb at bottom for clicking" 5:25 .......really your thumb

Two years ago I saw this video. Two years ago I was not employed. Two years later I am now employed. Two years later-I now have an invoice from Best Buy informing me about my purchase.

I've been traditionally a mac guy for well over a decade. Really wanted something affordable, game functioning, and portable. Bought this yesterday. Pretty happy with it so far. As for the display... it's really not that bad.. and when I'm at home I run it in desktop mode plugged into a gorgeous 27" Samsung display. Pretty impressive little laptop for it's price. Even though it doesn't have USB-C it definitely has more I/O than my most recent Mac, lol.

Hope you review XPS 15 (2017) in the future

If it doesn't have RGB it isn't a gaming laptop.

Can you please do a review on the 7577 with the 1060 max q? Is it worth going with the new model over the 7567? How much of a difference is there on power. I know the battery sucks

Big cooling upgrade for +20 fps gpu and cooling down by 20deg F, by bridging the gap between the middle heatpipes and chassis. I used foil for the test then I replaced it with a solid peace of aluminum. This is now a really great gaming laptop.

Dell sent me a 10% off coupon, plus the i5 1050ti model was already on sale so before tax I was able to get this model for $720. I purchased the IPS screen upgrade for $65 on eBay and I'm good to go with a great laptop to take with me on the go.

1:46 My first thought was "Forget price; I don't think they even had gaming laptops in the late 90s!" And then I shuddered and remembered that no, the age of cable television and boy bands wasn't a decade ago.

Got mine in 2017 has held up till this day , hoping my new gaming laptop will last just as long😅

Have had this since March, battery still gets me 7-8hrs, and the only issue so far is that the plastic track pad get stuck when the body is not on a flat surface(body flex). I'd give it a solid 7.5/10

A few mistakes here. First of all he said lesser Specs than a MacBook Pro but its thicker. It has Kaby lake CPU, DDR4 and a much better GTX 1050Ti. It has better Specs than a MacBook pro that's has DDR 3, Skylake CPU and average 460 GPU. Also XPS laptops don't have sub woofers. Who proof reads this crap?

That moment when you live in India & all ~$800 US laptops cost over $1250 (close to 30k rs more)😢😢😢!.

Bro are u satisfied with this laptop's screen. What's your opinion about acer nitro 5 which has almost same specs +16GB ram and ips display.

That reflection at 2:20 was awesome..

I think I am going to get one of these with the 256ssd and instantly throw a 1tb internal HD.

Why gaming laptops should look like 8 years olds fake spider man Laptops?

Please detailed LAPTOP theory and practical comparison between amd and intel radeon r7 vs intel 620 i5 vs a12 etc PLEASE!

would this be a good rig to start with when it comes to gaming? I'd like to play games like GTA V and Spintires, etc.

Nice nails Linus

This thing is awesome! I need for my graphical needs!

Just bought one today, pretty excited!!!

Hey Linus. I’ve got an interesting video idea for ya. So being in the military and a maintainer to boot we use tough books in the shop for durability but let’s face it they’re operational at best. My question or idea rather would be. How hard would it be to build a decent gaming rig inside the case of one of these? I mean there appears to be a lot of room considering their size but I’ve never seen inside of one. Idk just a thought since people who deploy game too but the harsh conditions are rough on a normal rig

i love LinusCatTips

You should do a review of the HP Omen Desktops such as the 870-110

Would this be a good laptop for me if I'm wanting good storage, good at multitasking, fast gaming, and good battery life. Also is there a CD slot?

When you said you could build a gaming desktop in equivalence, it would have been nice if you uploaded a link to pcpartpicker for the build. and showed a chart of greater than or less than to compare their specs side by side. excluding monitor keyboard and mouse. you can buy those for the cheap price of a burger at thrift shops.

you are the best tech channel on youtube!!!

"chilling while you netflix"

I just like the logo on the back and red led light

Would something like this work for music production? I want just an all around laptop, and I want to get into music production. Was wondering if it can game, work in school, and work for music.

3 Words: SERVER ROOM VLOG.

If the wifi card is mini pci-e then it should also be upgradeable as well right?

IPS Displays for this laptop are now on all configs, on Dell's website
