    Jen reviews the Dell XPS 17 (9700)!
    I had doubts about the 9700's practicality. But for a specific type of users, the 17-inch XPS is a force to be reckoned with.

      MJL I purchased one over the one you suggested. After doing some tests I realised that I needed the 2060 graphics card which I am currently in the process of swapping over. But I am very happy with the machine otherwise. If your a serious creative get the 2060 graphics card and has a minimum of 32 GB. Using da Vinci and adobe sweats you will need these minimums. It’s advantage over MAC is it’s upgradability. And that is huge.

    I can't speak for everyone else, but I am motivated to buy this over a desktop, because my office is in the basement and sometimes I want to take my "desktop" upstairs and work by the light of day. And a smaller machine will not have enough screen real-estate for my comfort while working. :)

  • @mulciberus

    I'm the precise niche user for this. I carry a 17" notebook (AW) but I'm not a gamer. I do it because about 80% of my work is from my desk, so I want something that offers me all the benefits of a desktop (especially a comfortable keyboard layout and display for multimedia viewing), but that I can pick up and take to a remote location very occasionally. Synching a smaller device is too much trouble for the small amount of traveling I have to do and hauling it through an airport now and then isn't that much of a burden. The pandemic made the choice of a destop-like notebook even more prudent. Excellent presentation, thanks!

    Thanks for the review, is this spec - 10750 6 core, 1650ti good enough for basic video editing? not doing any 4K work now maybe in the future. 2060 but be too much for me as I do not game but if I want to get 8 core I have to go with 4K version which sucks up battery.

    What do you recommend getting the Dell XPS 17 ? Or wait for a Mac book pro with arm ? I currently have a (XPS l502x win7 2011) never own a Mac book pro but the new processor look promising , I use it for movies music sometime photoshop but not professional mainly for entertainment always had iPhone what’s the better buy ?

    Did she mention it can config with 2060 6gb gpu? And the small bezels are similar to 15in laptops on market, so portability is fairly maintained. And unique vapor chamber is not on xps 15, so it keeps it cooler, significant benefit and the 4k resolution exceeds 4k. It's portable, multi task, mobile workstation, yet slim, dream with great batter life, small charge adapter, and you can ge on it. Any downsides to it? It's winning machine for power users. Upgrade to 64gb ram, get Samsung 2TB ssd, and skin it, you will have solid machine for years to come.

    Thank you for this informative review. It looks like the cpu used is the Core i7-10875H not the Core i7 10750H I can see in your review? Is this a mistake or did Dell change the cpu?

    • @AndreiTache
      @AndreiTache Před 3 lety

      They use both, depending on the configuration. As far as I know, if you want the 2060 you can only get it with the 10875H, otherwise you can choose which one you want

    Thanks again for your recent uploads. This machine is for people who appreciate a 17 inch screen. They would be aware of the larger footprint and of the increased weight. They are also most likely aware that it is not as convenient to carry to their local coffee shop and that the battery would drain quicker than the one in their Kindle. Just as someone buying a large SUV would not expect it to fit it into a car space designed for a mini cooper. So, it's a bit futile to stress these peculiarities in your review. I also do not understand the gaming obsession. If I were interested in gaming, I would purchase a playstation and connect it to my TV set. Much bigger screen and with the dedicated controller, an overall much more pleasing experience.

      Don't agree there with you on battery life. Depends wich model you buy. I got the fhd+, i7 750 with 1650ti and its battery life is insanely good. Way better then most 13 and 15 inch. I get between 10 and 15 hour.
      Also its footprint is comparable with most 15 inch laptop since the bezels are so small. So not that big after all...

    I have the XPS 9700 with 4k screen and 10875H processor and although I find it runs a bit hot, it's fast and the screen looks amazing. Setting Intel power management to 'cool' is closer to what I would have expected from factory settings, and works for me. Your review is accurate!

      @Teague_races Před 3 lety

      @@sheldon22 I'm not using it on battery much yet, to be honest. Between the beefy processor and running a 4k touchscreen at 500 nits, I'd be impressed if it got more than 3 or 4 hours if I'm using it like I normally use it (lots of stuff open at the same time). And the power plug is right here where I'm sitting, so..... 😊

    • @Teague_races
      @Teague_races Před 3 lety

      @@sheldon22 I can do some kind of test for you if you want to be specific about something standard to run and for how long. I can tell from reviews that if battery life is by far your top concern, you want the 1080p screen and you can get insane life off the big battery. But you can also impact battery life quite a bit with settings and your usage, so it's hard to give exact answers if I don't have both systems and more specific context. On the flip side, 1080p is a pretty low resolution on a 17" screen diagonal, so if you've seen the 4k display, it's an enormous difference. And touchscreen just puts it over the top for me. I'm pretty good at keyboard shortcuts and really thought when I was buying that the touchscreen didn't matter as long as it was 4k --- I take that back now..... it's pretty nice in random scenarios to just be able to tap the screen like it's my iPad. Also remember that the 17" has the vapor chamber cooling + better speakers and the 15" doesn't. I think the 17" runs hot so I would bet dollars to donuts that the 15" won't last as long (in regard to system functional life, not battery life).

      @@Teague_races Thanks again @Teague Ashburn, I am looking at your specs because I want to get 8 core processor but if battery life is 4-6 then really may look at 1080. Do you think dropping to 2K will help with battery life? my normal usage is google tabs, microsoft office, outlook, and a bit of youtube in the background. When I do video editing I do understand battery life being lower. And how do you find the unit for portability? too big to lug around?

    I have bought this laptop and unfortunately, it has many quality issues. The sound of the device started dropping only a few days after purchase. After which it started to have issues with the touchpad, it would go to sleep and I was not able to turn it on for hours. After endless conversations with customer support and many diagnostic videos later they sent an engineer to replace the hard drive, touchpad, and motherboard. The very next day after the replacement the screen went totally black and that was the end of it. I requested a replacement unit but Dell have been unhelpful and they refused to do so. I have been trying for 5 months now to get this fixed but without any success. I am currently stuck with a device that does not work. Overall, awful experience with the device and the tech support of Dell. Avoid it as much as possible.
