- Before a I review the XPS 17 9700 and XPS 15 9500 for 2020, here are my early hands on impressions. Better than an Apple MacBook in many ways, these are the best laptops from Dell!

I finally found a decent CZcamsr that doesn’t annoy me, and gets right to the point. Without trying to be cool
Yep. That's pretty much Dave.
and not trying hard to be funny
Yeah bro, he also doesn't just cover the coolest most expensive devices out there. His laptop or phone reviews for students on a budget are pretty cool too :p
Strikye B exactly
welcome to the club, dude!
Imagine few years back someone wishing Amd chip inside their high end laptop. Finally things are changing for good.
Intel isn’t cutting it anymore.
Intel still monopolize... They failed to compete tech Vs tech with amd, so they went with monopolizing.. hmm ...
Yes, things do happen what is unexpected when people work hard AMD is nothing in front of Intel even then a chokeslam and it would have been more competitive if gov organizations would have used AMD.
I think a big thing that’s holding stuff like that is contracts that are still running today.
Dell has a pretty shady history with Intel
This dude intro “Alright so”
facts he always gets to the point and doesnt extend the video
Better than an extra loud intro and the rest of the video with low sound
when you make over 500 CZcams videos, you won't always have frrl like giving an intro.
@@saif-wz7bt came here from another dell review and the difference in clutter is night and day. The other guy could have cut his video in half and Dave would still be more precise
@@N12Gautam That's why I think his old intros were just great, they were quiet and minimal and didn't detract from his video.
Jeez, the MacBook Pro's speakers felt like you just edited a song into the clip
Lol yeah.
But whit the price difference you can buy like 2 different good headphones

Now D2D has also started the “I’ve been using this for about a week “. Also, “WE WANT THAT AMD VARIANT”
yeah i really want an amd variant. imagine how powerful it would be.
@@maurice7017 Also beating this chip on a lower TDP, and as side effect, more battery life.
@@ericzedd not to mention a price
@@ericzedd It won't require much cooling too
having the 4900hs in the 15" could easily imo allow em to push the envelop a little and bump up the specs of the GPU to either a full 1650ti or evvven and it's a stretch...the gtx 1660ti MQ. it would be something special
The year where AMD is preferred over intel never thought this day would come!
Especially for laptops, Intel has dominated laptops so hard. What a weird world
What? People had been preferring AMD for a very, very long time.
Same I'm so happy
@@Junonino , not in laptop CPU. Just recently they make decent proper CPU for mobile chipset
TheWobblyEmily it’s so exciting hopefully AMD will also get better at GPUS that would be a dream!
Welcome to the "I want it, but cant afford it" club
To me the most insane thing about Dave's videos is that there are no obvious cuts while he talks and he does not seem to read off a script. I am really impressed. Also love the no-fuss approach. I've seen enough After Effects in tech review videos to last me a lifetime.
Not even lying, was looking for a lighter 17” laptop yesterday, and the only option was the $1850 LG Gram at 3lbs. Everything else was 6lbs, including the Dell Inspiron 3000 and Asus TUF 17. Perfect timing lol.
you must be rich
May I interest you in a 16 incher by a bitten fruit company?
Been wanting a thin and light 17" for years, wasn't too impressed with the LG gram. Too bad I bought the previous generation a few months ago

A fantastic early look at these. Your reviews are always amazing. Thank you. My first laptop was an XPS so I have a soft spot.

I love that now we're asking for AMD processors in premium laptops 😆 When was the last time that happened?!
Basically never to be honest 😆
Never. Theres never been competition in this space ever. That's why windows laptops have also been really shit. They didn't last long. I had a HP AMD A8 laptop and that laptop was good for a year and then went super slow. Intel laptops did the same for me. I've used the g14 Asus and that thing is insane.
Never! We even cooked egg and barbecued meat on AMD chips years ago.
enlighten me why they should?.?.
@@HM-wn2in I had a laptop last until the harddrive took a shit. idk what you people are doing to your devices to somehow wear the processor out
Other youtubers: let me play my own videos
Dave Lee:Let's play Marquez's videis
17in, touch screen, modular SSD and RAM, TB3, and 45w 8 core CPU.
The XPS 17 killed the Surface Book 3 before it is even released.
Facts.. I think it has already killed the Surface Book 4, lol
@@clarkmakoni905 Sad but true if the next model doesn't include USB 4.0 and better than a 4-core 15w CPU.
It's kinda sad but Surface junkies (I am one) are beginning to sound like Apple users in how they defend the hardware choices of Microsoft.
I was going to buy SB3 but 4 cores is just so weak... it's unfortunate because having CPU behind screen was ingenious but now it is severely limiting what hardware MS can use.
@@TheJeonyboy Same here. Now, I'm just gonna keep the Surface Pro as my main device and build an ITX tower for when I need to do some heavy lifting.
If these boys have good Linux support, they will be killing the Macbook Pro as well.

Looking forward to the updated 2021 review :)
Watching Dave2D before my finals, so I can calm down and chill. 🙃
Dell on thoughts of taking AMD chips: "I know what I have to do but I don't know if I'm allowed to"
I wonder what the fees are due breaking the Intel only contract
@@Cryosxify They dont have one, dell makes laptops with amd processors too usually.
@@doublehelim Not CPUs, just AMD GPUs. And it's a fact now that Intel was paying Dell (and other OEMs) to use only their CPUs. That is why they lost the lawsuit.
Matthew Fu they probably didn't make these with AMD because of thunderbolt 3 support
Until AMD can have a Thunderbolt (equivalent) they won't have widespread availability in business-oriented laptops or ultrabooks.
Dell is really bringing it.
Well ... "You need to pay then say"
Minus those speakers lol
Just not far enough. Intel=FAIL. Maybe next year....
Someone got a deliveroo ad
But at what price
I love XPS's and I want one, but like Dave, I would love to see AMD inside these guys. That would be a must buy for me
Thanks for the informative review, really well done. I love the tiny detail you go into on these. Off topic question - is that shirt from Scotch and Soda? Love the color. Thanks.
Finally. Was wondering if it was “impossible” for manufacturers to make screens without a large bottom bezel.
You said it Paul! I've been wondering this forever! Lenovo is the worst offender, so much wasted space. 16:10 or 3:2 is so much better for doing any work at all.
@@htsunmiku 16:10 or 3:2 though? The standard 16:9 is really annoying when doing anything other than watching movies. I don't ever watch movies on my laptop but I do write and writing needs vertical space. Heck even web pages are vertical, not wide. Why are all our laptops super wide when all our written content is vertical? Would love to see more vertical space and less wasted chin
@@ericwright8592 My Razer Blade Stealth 19 wants the "worst offender" status back
yeah, the only think i like about these are just the screens, i wish apple out take note, there is no need for thicc bezels in 2020
It’s still there brother.
"couldn't compare it to a thicc boi gaming laptop" Dave2D 2020
Knowing that this changes are coming to the precision line im super excited to see the precision line transition to this design, all i want is a smaller 17 inch form factor i couldnt care for the thickness, and with new Quadro Gpu's on the horizon with amperes anouncement this is going to be a great upgrade.
A great review. Many thanks. When do we expect to have your full review for these two devices?

Eagerly awaiting your full Dell XPS 15 review! Can you talk about the battery life? I read recently that it's only rated for 300 discharge cycles, which seems way less than what Apple offers.
Thank You for not annoying me with crappy music. Very good info.
"...AMD variants, maybe, please, Dell!, can we make that happen?" said so well, love that😁👍😂
Was thinking about this, but they probably have a deal with intel
I always look at 17”ers and think “who would carry something that big” then Dave shows a Dell G7 and I’m like oh crap
They really put it into a nice compact chassis, the older ones will throttle on some tasks (if you get really unlucky even after repasting + undevolting) and even though I can't game on mine I still love that laptop ~3 years later.
I have a G5. Same color. Looks same. I am like, Damn!
its a 17" model thats smaller than most 15" laptops lmao
I really like your presentation.. It is clean and to the point... Can you please do a dedicated video on XPS 17 [2020]...?? Also suggesting accessories like stylus that can be used along with the laptop..

Watch his older videos (like 2014,2015) ones, and you'll see he actually does have cool shots and stuff all the time. So it's not really evolving. I think recently, he just don't give a shit anymore lol

Yeah. Can you please explain why amd is now better?
@@thekookaburr4 they improved technology
@@thekookaburr4 better lithography so AMD uses 7nm rather than 14nm++++++ that Intel uses. Smaller architecture allows better efficiency and performance. Benchmark data shows that the new AMD Ryzen 4000 chips are far superior to Intel Ice Lakes and Comet Lake S chips, latter of which is in these XPS models. AMD doesn't have the market share of Intel, so they can price more aggressively as well, giving users so much bang for the buck.
The new Comet Lake S chips from Intel are quite special, but they have higher power consumption, therefore will run at higher temperatures. Keep an eye out for user reviews as they may report thermal throttling on some units that use Comet Lake S chips. Intel's upcoming Tiger Lake chips better be special to beat AMD right now.

Funny enough I asked dell yesterday if they’d release a redesign of the 15 and they said no.

Dell is making a lot of good decisions lately, and I love the 16:10 switch. I'd be perfectly happy with this as a MBP 16 alternative I suspect. Retaining the upgradable RAM and storage after the redesign is a sweet bonus too. Hope the thermals, wifi, VRMs, coil noise and so on are also all up to par.

I just received a XPS 15 9500, and the touchpad has a little pre-travel before it hits the click. Along the bottom edge it has a little give before you hit the hard stopping point where if you press more it engages the click.

Minor clarification: the smaller size is also predominately due to changing the aspect ratio. A 15” 16:9 will have more horizontal length than a 15” 16:10 in general (the thin bezels certainly help against other brands but isn’t the only reason why it’s noticeably smaller than XPS 15 2019)

After calling customer care it appears my hard drive cannot connect. They asked me to send it in. They said they have to check the motherboard as well. One or both may need to be replaced. Can anyone tell me if its worth replacing the hardrive and or motherboard or should I just upgrade?
