I'm not in a market for a new laptop but I watch your videos anyways lmao
***** well I watch it just to keep up with tech and also because his videos are just so crispy
yeah man his video ARE crispy haha
Which laptop should I get??? 900 dollar budget :(
GodPickleYT depends on what you're looking for in a laptop.
same here
I have this laptop but with the gtx 1050ti. I love this laptop, runs anything I throw at it. And it’s nice and thin so I can take it anywhere with me and battery is pretty good too.
i realize Im kinda off topic but does anybody know of a good place to stream newly released tv shows online?
I have no idea why I watch your reviews despite having no intention of buying the product, your production quality and speaking tone just pull me in. Keep it up, you deserve a million subs!
Great work Dave!!!
I have this one still in 2020 and it stills preforms decent. The fan noise is pretty loud when it kicks in. The keyboard is actually pretty nice to type on. I have the 1080p, i7- 6700HQ. The battery has allways been good but starting to show it's age in the battery life (not bad as this has been used daily)
Nice video Dave! Even though I'm not looking for a laptop right now, I really enjoy these videos 😊
thanks for watching em
i swear to God the snakes in the video gave me nightmares, in shit scared of snakes so next time could you cut back on them please. But the video is nice and im looking for a laptop for uni which i can still game in
Man your videos are so smooth and laid back. I love your chill voice, not yelling or abrasive. I also love how you do that drawing of the device and outline each component, nice touch.
Another 10/10 video. I especially loved the configuration cut showing the prices and options. Keep it up!
Hi, can u make a review on the latest hp omen which released in mid 2017 with Gpu GTX 1050ti
Wow! very awesome video bro! How you make that animations of laptop????
after effects
Dave Lee for your next video you should do a review on the the Lenovo y900 gaming laptop here is the link to it on amazon www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01FJFNE3U/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER
Dave Lee hi, I am looking for a laptop for content creation. I use adobe premier and after effects mainly, sometimes I also work on Maya...
Can you please recommend a good laptop for me? Is MacBook 2015 good for Adobe software...
Please help me put... There are lots of videos about gaming but not concentrated on content creation...
Please reply
I have budget of around 2000$, and in India not all the laptops are available you review..
congrats on 200,000 subs! can't wait for you to get your play button!
Great video. Considering many laptops and love the depth of your videos. Keep it coming.
Hi Dave, I'm a fan of your vids, but for a gaming laptop review you really need to step it up a bit, I mean, I know you reviewed last years model but you need to play at least 4 or 5 Group A shooters on it to let the viewers see how good it is, GTAV is always a good bench mark, as is black ops 3 , fallout 4 and maybe one or two really new games , so apart from this it was a good review!
i used to showcase more games. I just find it draws the videos on for too long. I actually do play a TON more of games on the devices i review but I don't film it the whole time. i'll keep your comment in mind though! thanks =)
+Dave Lee how about more bench marks in the description
+Dave Lee can you please tell which is better overall alienware 15or xps 15 (both are 1600 dollars in canada)
+ranjit sidhu I'm not Dave but maybe I could help the Alienware 15 is a gaming laptop and the xps 15 is an ultra portable. If you want to game get the Alienware and if your want it for casual use and maybe light gaming get the xps 15 although know that it will not be good at playing newer games.
thanku so much. can you also suggested any gaming laptop under 1500 CAD?
I love this laptop
Kaustubh tripathi Buy it from PayTm for 50-60K only.
I love watching ur reviews, ur voice is just calm and convincing to be honest and your video quality is very smooth and soothing honestly good job
I very much loved the part where you have the procedural blueprint effect as you explain the specs. keep it up, very nice. subbed
Please review the refresh model with the PASCAL cards.
They did
Michael Tarantolo When?
The price is a bit much for the specs but I think it looks awesome and I usually prefer HP keyboards. Love the vids Dave! Been thinking between the Acer Nitro, Dell 7559, Y700 and this. So far I think this is what I'm going for ;)
Great video Dave ! Congrats on 200k subs
I love your videos dude! Always pure quality
One of the more affordable laptops from hp. Still really like there Spectre, worlds thinnest laptop!
HP Omen 15 'vs' MSI PE60 2QE.?
Found this video review great. Not too long, not too short and covers all the information that I needed!
your laptop reviews are really good. :)
Hey Dave, I have a general question about 4k panels on laptops; since 4k is 4x 1080p, would it be fine to just set the windows resolution to 1080p and leave it like that to increase battery life and performance, or are there drawbacks to that, like a blurrier image compared to a native 1080p panel.
Thanks!
You will always have 4 times the pixels that need to be supplied with energy dropping the resolution just results in "one optical pixel being represented by 4 physical pixels"
I wish it did, but setting it to 1080p activates the same number of pixels., It just has 4 pixels showing the same color
The only difference would be GPU power usage. The GPU would only be processing a 1080p image so it wouldn't have to work as hard. (You'd probably see slightly better battery life for GPU-heavy stuff?)
+Dave Lee ahh so it works like I think it does, that's good. I was just curious since I've started looking into buying a laptop for school in September, but I got sidetracked and started looking at laptops with 4k panels, do you have a video or a reccomendation as to where to look for a cheap laptop that would be usable for school?
I just dont understand how he menaged to get the laptop with 965m when they only give you the option with the 960m on their website
+vukan zarkovic it's there. Check the pre-configs
+Dave Lee Thanks man. I rly love ur videos and they are very helpfull. Im looking for a laptop(gaming) and ive been looking at the omen for about a week now. This review was realy helpfull and i hink im gonna take it. Im just not sure if im gonna take the 4 k schreen or wait to buy The new razer blade
+MercyHD for twice the price.....
+MercyHD not really, its only a 970 compared to a 965 for an extra 800/900 dollars.
+MercyHD lol xD
Amazing job, i love your videos,international cut, clear and complete
very concise, easy to understand, and awesome calming voice. good job (y)
Could you review the latest OMEN by HP 15-ax202na Gaming Laptop gtx1050?
Thanks
Hi Dave ,I have a question , with the configuration of I5 6300 hq, is that enough to run GTX 970m ? I'm worry about the CPU limited.
depends on the game but most games (95%+) won't be held back by the 6300HQ using the 970M
Dave can i ask you something? since pascal about to be release for the laptop edition.. should i wait for it? and i wanted to buy ROG GL502VT, will it turn to the 1000 version or it will stay in 900 series when i buy the new one? really confused on this done a lot of research to the store and internet but cant seem to find the answer... it will really help me if you could reply dave :(
Dave im not sure if you ever heard of HP Pavilion bc020tx (as this laptop is only available in Vietnam where i live ) but im using it right now and its basically just a white reskinned version of the HP omen you reviewed in the video
+Dave Lee hey Dave I have bought msi gp62 6qf but I m not able to find a perfect review for this laptop as all the videos are in languages I don't know....so I was wondering if you could help???
+adit kumar kp
what an excellent review .. thanks Dave
Your videos are always good! They contain light music which makes me calm lmao
I hope they have a 1060m refresh tbh it's not worth it for the price right now. And a thunderbolt 3 wouldn't hurt.
There won't be a 1060M, Nvidia said that notebooks will run the full 1070 and 1080. IDK about a 1060.
+weirdeyedkid ™ talked to Aorus and they told me there is going to be mobile versions and that rumor was an early rumor there will definitely be mobile so no worries man!
+John Hanson I'd rather get the full and hope the price would reflect the new pricing scheme. But I just ordered a Y700 for $770 so It'll be a few years till I upgrade again anyway.
+weirdeyedkid ™ bro the full will only be in desktops and high end laptops. The m will be in most. But yeah the y700 is a great choice dude!
series 10M which will perform like 8 series lul..
The last gen was much sexier and premium...
I'm buying a new gaming rig soon and every time I research a gaming laptop on CZcams you have a vid review on it lol. Good work man, you definitely earned my sub.
Love the videos dude :) amazing work Dave
Which is better this or the Dell Inspiron 7559 I don't care about price I just want to know overall what's better?
GGG GAMER Razer blade gtx 1060 if you don't care about price :))
Hey. do you have the fan noise problems ? and is it a 2016 ? im looking to buying one
,
The Dell i7,way better
GGG GAMER the omen is better
I have this laptop it's a beast
i have it too, but mine s getting so hot easly when im playing games espacially when is on the sector
Chou Fleur i have same laptop design but mine is the i7 7700HQ and 1050 Ti. I did undervolting with Intel Extreme Tunning and games at high settings runs at bewteen 60 to 65 C for 3 hours of gameplay. I been doing this for a month and never rechead at 70 C. I also put like a Gatorade cap underneath the laptop so that laptop can breathe better.

@@juicybullfrog yes mine is the same as yours , so can you explain to me more about this solution how can i do it exactly?
Chou Fleur I recommend to do research of undervolting i7 7700HQ. Mine I have it -0.130v. Underneath the laptop there’s some rubber feats, I put like 2 soda caps underneath near cooling airvent of the laptop. The caps makes a big difference
As always
Clean Video
Nice Video and content
Keep it great Dave 🍺
love your work bro, keep it up. you are one of the best CZcamsr i have seen yet.😃👍👌
#daveshouldreplacejack
coming here after lew's vid? same story here
story please
dave was helping lew recording one of his unboxing video, i forgot which one is it, flies away*
+Martinus Daniel It was the iPhone 7 unboxing video
You are already paying +$900 for a laptop. I would spend the extra *$100-$200 more* for a nicer quality build.
The sad part is that my MSI GE62 with similar specs cost $915 on sale. The build is excellent. But that was after the student discount on the Microsoft store.
RORYtheALLSTAR The earlier HP Omen was pretty good in quality and looked good. Most gaming laptops look to gamerish or unappealing to me. I would agree.
Patrick It's not too bad. They dialed the gamer tat a notch. If you can deal with the red accents it's not too flashy.
If you see this one in person, it's so much worse. Look at one of HP's budget laptops, it's the exact same build. For the same price, you can get the 15 inch Lenovo Y700 (with a lot of options added), which I think is the $1000 gaming laptop to beat at the moment. It has a gorgeous build, great sound quality, an amazing keyboard (typical Lenovo), a much better display (in 1080p and 4K), a 960m+i7 Skylake processor on the base model, and great performance overall for about $1100.
Patrick I got mine on sale for about $768
I really thank you for posting this review, I really needed some more insight in my decision on buying this laptop and this really helped me in reaching my decision! I'll go for it since in Mexico some stores are adding a 27" display along.
Hi! Dave i am a big fan of your truth reviews
Dell inspiron 15' 7559 gaming laptop is much better than this also cheaper
which one? also this is not 9gag yt has a edit button to correct your mistake, the more you know
***** you can't Edit in mobile app
Nafeeur Rahman oh ok
And heavier with a worse graphics card comparing with 965m. Cheaper, yes, definitely.
+Allen Tom Well its a gaming laptop so you will need a mouse anyway
Truly excellent review! Thank you!
Great review as always. Is that your favorite shirt?
Cool graphics and VFX! Great quality keep on with the excellent job!
wow your review has amazing detail!! thanks!
i loved your reviews
Best and most in depth review I have come across so far, which benefitted a lot because I'm planning on purchasing a Omen 17 GTX 1050
love your vidoes!
Great review
subscribed loved your videos
Thanks for this I'm really looking at getting this
What a smart review, thanks bro !
bulgarian stores' sites have started using your videos for product reviews I'm so happy for you :3
Love your Videos
Thank u very much dave. Because of this video finaly i can decide which laptop i want.
Good job thx
Dave ur videos are great and vry vry helpful, keep making more videos and plz for any laptop compatible for gaming plz do but 1-2 min gameplay of latest games.
this is a really good review
hey thanks for this review
looks awesome on the website, cheap on the review. thanks for this Dave.
Great review as always Mr. Lee, thumbs up :D. Would it be possible for you do one of the new Asus gaming laptops please?
I fucking love your reviews Dave I really do
nice video..awesome review..
Hi Dave! Thanks for doing all the laptop reviews, they're helping a lot with deciding on one for college. Would you be able to say how you think this compares with the xps 15 and razer blade? I know the price points are in different ballparks but I would be curious to your options on them (Typing and Heating while gaming are big concerns for me). Thanks Again!
Could you do a video about your daily gadgets ? Interested on what kind of gadget you use haha
hey Dave, I love how you do your reviews on laptops, but I just wanted to ask if you can make a review on the Acer aspire s7, I understand if you cant
You.. yes you!! you are better than MKBHD. crisp videos, awesome editing and pro music choices.
Just bought one of these second hand and it is still an epic machine!
Its always good to have easier access back panel.
Great video(as always) Dave! You must heard me yesterday:) For someone like me who is looking for a balance between gaming performance, slim design and price, this seems to fit really well, justifying its price at least. I like it.
PS: Forgot to ask, for the top spec version, did you notice any throttling?
Hi Dave, loved your content. Wondering if you are going to do a review for the 1070 omen? Considering the price and specs it's really attractive choice
+Dave Lee great review, enjoyed it. can you please do a comparison video of the Dell Inspiron 15 7559 with this hp omen 2016? covering each thing? thankyou.
I really like your videos.
Hi Dave! I love your videos your reviews are a hit to me :) I wanted to ask this but can you have a look on the Asus Vivobook E403SA or at least review it?
Hi Dave,
Thanks for all the good work! I am considering buying this laptop, but I was wondering, do you have any idea when they might upgrade the specs? Any chance they will include a 1060GTX in there anytime soon?
Thanks!!
Nice review as always! Will you also test the updated Alienware 13 with OLED Display? Thinkpad X1 Yoga OLED would also be cool :)
Cool video as always, btw I can't find the music for your background videos in the internet. I tried googling "Fili - Pressing Forward" but I still can't find.
I got a 17inch Omen for $1022 on July 4th Sale at Bestbuy for an i7 and 965m its a great deal for the proce wish I had heard bout the 4k display tho great review! As always bro
i give a sub to any video I watch that genuinely helps me -- this video genuinely helped me
Will you do a review of the new aero 14?
Hey Dave, whats the wallpaper that you use on your pc? Its dope!
Would be brilliant to see you review the new Omen with the 1070
good job dave ! do a review on the aorus x7 pro v5 with the i7 6820hk it would be pretty interesting because of the processor and the thermal management that they put in to the laptop.
:)
The computer seems to run very cool and quiet compared to other gaming laptops in my experience, at least the model I have before me seems to be running cooler and quieter than your video model. Such is the case with many devices I guess with no two exactly alike. While I liked your review overall, I felt you put in your own personal opinions too often for a unbiased review. Keep up the good work on your quality reviews for computers.
Great video! By the way what is the weight??
Subscribed :D
Your videos are very Crisp. Excellent 🎥🎥📹📹
Just about to buy it, thanks for the great review !
Btw where did you find that wallpaper at 0:08
Also, I couldn't find the website you're using (at 1:40) to choose precisely what's inside the laptop, where can I find it ?
Hi Dave. Nice review btw. Is it a fingerprint magnet?
How do you make your drawings at 5:00? Nive video, as always!
I know how late to come back to this review.
I was considering this laptop for a while. and I think I'll get it (it's relatively a good upgrade over my current laptop)
Hey Dave, please review the new Gigabyte Aero 14, looks like an awesome combination of specs/portability. Would love to get your opinion on it. Cheers, and thanks for the great videos so far!
Hey Dave what do you do with all the laptops you have? You know, the ones that you review, what do you do with them?
Congrats on 200K subs! But the older omen looks much sexier imo, and its price has really come down a lot! Snagged one for the same price as this one! But I admit I do miss a good old SATA bay and upgradable RAM..
Love your video man. I was wondering if you noticed the laptop overheating a lot? I noticed that your fan exhaust is in the middle. I have the same laptop and it won't stay cool. My exhaust in only on the right side and pretty small. I will play for 10 min and then the laptop starts to freak out.
ok i curently have a hp omen laptop and i love it but the one problem with it is the heat it will become a big problem and you should get a cooling mount (not pad they dont work as well) but the heat comes out the back in about a 6 and half inch gap and mounts are only 2 inches so how do you get a cooling mount!??!? can i only use a pad??!??!
Hey when is the next OMG setup? looking forward!
