You have been secretly practicing the spinning laptop trick haven't you
:'DDD Was thinking about the same :P
I wouldn't really call it a secret...
One of these times it will break
Spinning that laptop on your fingers was really ballsy, but impressive.
No way I am the first to comment after 5 years
@@user-yr5gv6qb9v yeah
Really top notch review. I don't usually comment on CZcams, or even sign in, but I thought you deserved some praise for this. The only thing you didn't touch on was the keyboard, but I've seen enough other videos that cover that. That cartoon of the laptop's guts at the end was a really nice touch!
thanks for the kind words! =)
Dave Lee have you experienced any coil whine??
I LOVE that view from the window of your apartment. Please include more shots in future videos :D
+Agasthon ADR Which city does he live in?
+Shayan Toronto I believe. And man am I jealous of that place.
Ross Bishop That view would make anyone jealous
Yesssss looks so good.
+Shayan toronto
That couch is too professional looking it's creeping me out lol
Wut
Dude. You got the best channel for laptop reviews. Please do a top ten laptops of 2015. That would be awesome. Happy New Year. CHEERS
Yeah that would be an awesome video
+Rejoy Panakkal Dell xps,15 macbook pro 2015, spectre x360, surface pro4,surface book for me! I bought xps 15
Binay Sangat - good choice. Am leaning towards the Macbook 12 inch right now. As a writer, an occasional programmer who loves to travel and who doesn't game much, am gonna go with the Space Grey version of that expensive little thing as soon as I can get my hands on it. I know it's a controversial decision and not many people would even recommend it but I think am allowed the occasional splurge.
+TheATTKGaming the Macbook is ok only if you can live withe limited iOS world.
+T-Tech I still don't know what people use customer support for. I must be really lucky or something, because Ive never had to contact customer support for any technology I've bought
Bought an XPS 13 which arrived today, mainly based on yours and few others reviews of this and the previous generation. - Couldn't be happier with the purchase so far.
Thanks for your honest and informed reviews!!
One of your shorter reviews. I actually sat through it without skipping. Nice and succinct.
I LOVE the aesthetics of your videos, perfect.
Your channel deserves a million subscribers. Great video as always.
you look alot happier in your newer vids. I respect it
Lol, I love that the finger spin has become a "thing" in your videos after the first one.
I am just fallen in Love the way you make tech videos! Super fantastic
+IQBAL QURESHI thanks for watching!
Nice slight update of camera angles to your standard review format, more eye-catching and bound to add more views to an already very clean and informative video. Great job, you deserve more views and subs!
Your video's are extremely well made and you deserve WAY more subscribers, can't wait to see you become one of the mainstream reviewers!
You know you're hooked when you go back and watch older videos again because you can't wait for Dave to upload a new one.
DAT. BACKGROUND. Wow. Ultra crispy videos, man! Congrats!
dave seems like a cool dude to hang out & chill with
His level of chill is on par with MKBHD.
Will you do an apartment tour? Your place looks really nice!
That spin was cool as hell Dave!
So much better lighting, just have to comment again, I just love the new video set!!!!
+Aaron Li just a different time of day heh. i only use sunlight so it's hard to get good shots sometimes. thanks for watching!
I know this has nothing to do with the video but I absolutely love the couch at the beginning of the video!
Dave, your channel is one the best, crispiest channels I've ever seen, and your reviews are awesome! Exactly what a user would want to know! Keep the good work up man!
Sir, you have a very soothing voice and thorough explanations that are very convincing.
Spinning this on your fingers is only the kind of confidence that only comes from knowing that this is a just a review unit - not your personal daily driver :D That aside, just discovered you and I'm loving the aesthetics and quality of your reviews :)
Like the new background and the video set ;)
Just came from Linus's video, and your voice is a blessing after his. You deserve much more subs than he does (in my opinion). And it's not like I know more than you do but maybe a bit more variety of products (reviewed) would be nice. Thanks and keep it up. 👍
best channel for laptop reviews hands down
Great video! I am a prospective college student looking for a solid laptop and your video has helped me out immensely. You just earned a subscriber :)
Is that your apartment?! What an incredible view! The six is the place to be man...
Thank you so much for this review. I feel you put so much effort in making your videos and I gotta say it's top notch. Great job mate, I was actually looking for the best ultra book I can buy since my 6 years old laptop Acer Aspire 4750G is now lagging and outdated. I'm thinking this Dell XPS 13 will be a great choice for a college student like me.
+Dave Lee awesome video as always. The Skylake version of the Asus UX501 has also landed. Seems it has the same SSD but has increased performance. Try to make a review of that!
Excellent review and I'm a really huge fan but can u make a review of top 5 ultra books with good build and gaming experiences
LOVE your reviews Dave.
Have you seen the Microsoft Signature Editions for this laptop? Can you please do a vid on signature models and whether you think it's worth it?? even better if you could get a hold of one!
You are an amazing CZcamsr and you deserve to be up there with the best!!
dem magic fingers though. Merry Christmas dave.
awesome review Dave! I have one question. which of the XPS 13 skylake models can run an external 4k monitor (or tv) @60hz? this laptop is perfect and its 4K capability is the only thing that's holding me back.
Great review! Hit a lot of important info about this laptop, and it's very easy to understand!
Can you do more of gaming laptops reviews. Most of the people who look for laptop reviews are basically the people who want laptops with high configuration, so I just want you to make more reviews of gaming laptops and it'd be great if you were to do reviews of gaming peripherals as well. Thanks you and merry Christmas :)
Hey Dave, since this is 6 months old now, any hiccups you found along away? My concern with laptops is the trackpad they tend to play up. And Mac ones are pretty solid even after 5 years. Do you still recommend this, or is there a better contender now? Thanks awesome videos keep up the great work! Do you know if I should wait for the MacBook Pro?
cool videos, can you do some reviews on getting the best out of 200 laptops. THanks!
Love the quality of your videos and production!
Great videos!! One of my fav tech channels!! Keep up the good works next year and a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!! Make some gaming laptops videos if possible. Cheers!
can I edit videos on hear using Sony vegas pro 13 and ect.. whit no problem? and all so will multitasking slow it down?
Thanks again Dave for a wonderful review. I was wondering if you are going to review the Vaio Z (flip) and if you do, a comparison with the surface book. Thanks!
How would you compare this laptop to the new Razor Blade Stealth for performance?
Hi! I'm looking for that pc. I saw in a few video that the PC case is a little bit bent in a long term usage and the PC shakes on the table. Did you notice that? Thank you!
Merry Christmas!!! 😄😄i love your channel!!! It has so much potential and all..
+Dar Paolo Lariat thanks for the support =)
Dave I bet you have heard this question a lot...
But I am trying to buy a laptop and I'm trying to buy MacBook Pro or this xps13.
I was trying to find answer in CZcams and all the CZcamsrs said they are both good laptops, it depends and I really didn't like that answer so would you tell me which one should I buy as a student that plays some light game and work on some 2d drawing on laptop?
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
Hi Dave - big fan of your work! Wondering if you could recommend where to order the xps13 from (in Canada)? Thanks
Thanks for the great video!
Question: How did you create the images where the parts of the laptop were drawn as outlines??
Dave, what software do you use to draw the blueprint style diagrams? I think it's really nice and clean. Thanks.
hey is your storage upgraded ? how did you do it ? i find no model which has a FHD 8 gig ram and 256 gig SSD
Hi Dave,
I'm studying architecture and need a highly portable laptop with ability to run Autocad, Archicad, Revit, Sketchup, Photoshop etc, will the XPS13 Handle the use of 3d with only 8 GB of RAM? Does it have I7 Quad core? The 15" is really too big for me to carry around everyday.. I need to make a decision as soon as possible (p.s. I live in Switzerland, so I need a specific keyboard with accents)
Awesome review!how do you make those cool 2D vector animations? Thanks!
what about the newest version of the xps13? looking forward for your review :)
Dave, Macbook Pro 13" or Dell XPS 13" (Skylake) for precise colour reproduction and RGB gamut? Which one I should buy? Thanks
What's up Dave,
How much do fingerprints/ palmprints show on the xps 13? I've heard that the soft touch finish on the inside is prone to palmprints. Did you notice that as well?
I'd love to hear your feedback!
Thanks, from a recent subscriber
Dave can you by any chance share dell wallpapers that go along with it ? red flower, green flower? I got a refurb, but it doesn't have any of those:(
Hey have you had any problems with the dell xps? I seen a lot bad reviews having bad drivers, screen and trackpad problem.
geez dave every time you spin that i hold my breath
I wonder the other users have the same problem. I purchased my xps 13 9350 several months ago. It has a static noise from the speaker and also the coil whine like sound which are very annoying. Is there any ways to solve it?
quick question, Is the skin on this laptop the "titanium brushed metal" from dBrand?
Does it have any coil whines? I've read that they all have it
I bought this laptop. This video was huge help make my decision. Thank you .
Dave, how do you get those 8 hrs? I only get 3 to 4 hours with screen at 0% brightness idling
Dave i wanted to ask im searching for a light n thin 13 to 15 inch laptop.
Can you help me?
PCIe! Yeah buddy! Great overall upgrade and good review too Dave! See ya next year!
Great video. I'm still more interested in the XPS 15 though, the quad-core CPU and dedicated graphics are a big draw for me.
A few people are recommending the UX303 for review, and I have one of the first iterations with the Haswell processor. Fair warning if you do review the UX303, it's worth mentioning the fact that the hinge construction is pretty bad, and a quick search on Amazon or Google will bring up widespread complaints about it breaking after a few months. I still use mine but I've had to do a bit of a hack job on the hinge to get it to stay somewhat together, but even now it's not in great shape.
Great channel! Quality Reviews! Well done Dave!
2:10 the bezel seems to be the signature feature for the XPS lineup right now, yeah, and till 2019 too
ive been reading a lot of reviews online about the xps 13/15, and many have complaints on quality issues (speakers, battery, screen, harddrive...) does anyone have experience with this as well?
Dave, I have a XPS 9350 with the I5-6200U, 8gb ram, and a 512gb ssd. Is there any way to get a factory image from Dell..?
Incredible animations! How would you do something like that?
Great video! Any plans on making a review on the new Latitude 13 7000-series (7370) when it comes out next Tuesday? I had decided to get the XPS 13, but then a friend of mine (works for Dell of course....) started to tell how "fantastic" it will be: XPS which is lighter, fanless, using core M and all black.
Good review! What's the keyboard travel distance anyway?
Hi. Just wondering if the 15 inch XPS would be good for office work ? 8 hours or more each day.
Could you recommend a similar laptop that's not a windows surface? I'm looking for a laptop like this but want more options
Love the review man! it's the first time I see one of your videos.
Im between this laptop, the lenovo yoga 3 pro, a hp envy 13 or a hp envy 14 or hp spectre; what do you think?
Greetings from Perú
I'm torn between buying this now, or waiting for the new macbook pro.. Do you think the upgrades to the macbook next year will be sufficient enough to make it a clear choice, or should I just go for the xps 13? I mostly use my laptop for school and light editing and gaming, although gaming isnt a priority to me at all.
hi Dave.
do suggest me what is best and cheapest notebook which I can bought.
my use is for student and normal business bas
Subbed. Really cool style reviews Dave, Keep it up!
Can you remove the wifi card and use an external PCIe adapter and graphics card?
What's the max ssd capacity we can upgrade to? 1TB? Are people getting coil wine problems?
Is it possible to upgrade the ssd of this ultrabook? If so, what is the maximum storage?
keep up the good job Dave.
is the QHD touch worth it over the FHD non-touch at all if im not a photographer or Photoshop user?
Nice video, however I could need some help deciding which one would be best for the price. :)
Would you recommend getting the i7 5500u (early 2015) for 1290€ or the i5 6200 (late 2015/2016) u for 1400? Happy for any answer
i want to buy the 13 developer edition want the matt screen lower res. would love the i5 model with 16gig or ram. Does dell stil refuse to lett us pay more $$ for extra ram in this configuration? that would really suck
Wich is better purchase XP’s 13 or sell G series for gaming and school work?
Hi D2D, Can you recommend this Laptop for video editing? Or you have something else in your mind? Thanks!
Could you do a HP Envy 13 review? Thanks!
Hi Dave, can you make some review about Dell Inspiron 14 7460 ? Because i really interested with this notebook. Thanks
I bought this laptop because your reviews about this laptop, thanks bro
can anyone please help? im planning on getting this for schoolwork and some lightgaming, but can this handle older titles such as arkham city?
Can you do video editing (adobe premiere) on this computer without limitation?
Could you do a review of the Dell Inspiron 13 7352? Like your vids, you are almost 100 k subs. Good luck
Dave，it’s good to buy this laptop and update the battery with 750 Dollars?
How many screens are you able to connect without using some bad performing USB => DVI solution?
What's the maximum resolution for external screens?
What would you rather get, a 13" MBPr or this one?
Pricing after using it for a few years speaks for the MacBook, Gaming performance (for playing some small CS:GO session while having a break at work etc.) is better on the Windows machine.
