Awesome comprehensive review, just got the 9575 4k, looking forward to that screen.
You're going to love it. It's beautiful. Enjoy your machine!
Fantastic review, loved it
Thank you!
Thanks for this review. I have been thinking about getting this laptop and now I know that it is a good buy. Thanks!
Yw!
Nice review, glad you like your XPS. I found a local seller on a classified site and picked up a XPS 9250 w/ i7 -12700H, 16gb ram, 512gb SSD and RTX 3050i graphics card. It only had the FHD 1920x1200 ips screen but I typically hook it up to my OLED tv and close the lid and use an external kybd/mouse. I'm very happy with it so far, I'm an eletronics engineer and have to run windows for the programs I use and this thing is very fast. I got it for an insane price of $250 so I upgraded to 32gb for another $100. It's a 2022 model but I think I'll redo the paste as you did on the cpu and gpu to see if it runs cooler. Keep up the good work, I did subscribe and hope to see what the other laptop you picked up is.
Thank you! Wow you found one for a great price. That 12700H is no slouch, either. Enjoy!
Thank you for this amazing review. As of someone who’s willing to buy a new laptop, i was wondering what about a older laptop with insane specs and this made me wanna buy one for sure. The only matter i am concerned about is the noise in fans. I’ve had an asus rog and it did bother me a lot specially in class. I was wondering if this laptop has fan noise issue. Again thank you so much and i really enjoyed the video! Cheers mate!
Yw! Sorry for the late reply. I’ll check and get back to you as a I don’t recall how loud it got.
woo the legend
haha thanks Digby! Hope you're doing well.
Im (hopefully) getting the i9 version soon for $470 (375GBP), meeting with the dealer and going to test everything! This review is giving me hopes!
That sounds like a good deal. Hope you enjoy!
The i9 will get throttled in this laptop, as the cooling system is not designed for it. Stick with i7, if possible. This is for anyone else who is thinking about getting that i9, as you probably already have it;).
Dude! Merry Christmas to you. Have you decorated a Texas cactus for your home? Is there anything you can’t do? Amazing brain in your head and so talented and gifted. Have a great holiday and I’m looking forward to your video’s next year. How come you haven’t reviewed your Apple Watch Ultra? I’m waiting to purchase until you give approval. 😂Cheers!
Merry Christmas, Pete. haha no cactus but I have a light that spins and projects snowflakes on the walls, so that's pretty neat. Thanks for the kind words and more videos to come next year.
I'm working my way up to the AWU. That one I feel like is going to be a big project that I haven't put time into producing, yet. It's a great Apple device and it deserves a quality video.
Love mine
Because of your beautiful smile I have subscribed and liked the video
Aww thank you!!
Great video review! I have had the XPS15 9570 since early 2019. It has been a great laptop. It goes to work with me every day. I just bought a replacement palmrest w keyboard because the palmrest finishing got sticky and soft.
Is your palmrest sticky?
Glad you're still enjoying it. My trackpad is solid, so far. Did you have any trouble finding parts?
I bought that laptop in 2018 still using it still going strong for my needs (programming mostly ), but 2:43 those screws are easily stripped.
Nice! Glad yo hear it's been working out for you all this time. Yeah, those screws are a bit delicate.
Hey, I'm planning to buy one from the same seller, I'll be using it mainly for coding and watching series (I'm wondering if it could run some emulators like cemu or yuzu). So I would like to thank you for your review and advice, and if you have anything else to say about your experience with the device or if you had any other issues like throttling or random restarts, I would like to know. Thanks in advance (sorry for any misspelling, english is not my native language)
It's great for web dev and consuming content. Not sure on emulators but the 8750h is still a fairly powerful cpu. The laptop has been great. Glad you enjoyed the video!
Idk why but the render is very choppy sometimes. It’s good some of the times until it completely stops fps
Thinking of picking one up, not sure if it’s worth getting the i9 version especially when it’s 6 core, I think the i7 you have is 6 core too?
The i7s seem to be the better processors in these machines as the i9s do thermal throttle. Even when these were new.
@@TaylorBrauer thanks Taylor! I'll see if I can grab one off eBay in the UK
@@krutikquiran8184 Yw!
I bought one referbed for around 500 cad on a 512gb SSD. Battery is lousy otherwise its all been redone thermals and appears to work smooth and fast..... a big upgrade from my chronos series 7!
Congrats!
@@TaylorBrauer oh and of course at 16:50 I have the exact same problem with the unit I got. Good to know I'm not alone hopefully my seller will get me a fresh battery as well
@@Matanumi Such an odd issue. Glad you're able to get that replaced.
@@TaylorBrauer actually I wasn't able to at all.
Where did your supplier get their batteries? Were they a good price? Im gonna want one if my supplier doesn't get back to me
How did you replacement battery end up working?
@@Matanumi luckily my seller had a reserve one he sent out to me. If you can't get ahold of the seller you can always buy new from parts-people. It is pretty expensive though because it's a new battery. Here's the link to the 9570 page, www.parts-people.com/index.php?action=category&id=143&subid=1201
Everything I really needed to know was the current batterylife of the XPS 😭 Watched the whole video though 🥲👍🏻
@TaylorBrauer Who's the seller on eBay? Planning to buy one. Thanks.
Can this run 3Dxmas, Archicad and latest lumion with ease. Im about getting one. Please help me with a reply
I'm not familiar with those programs, but check out the docs for the hardware requirement. That should give you a good idea if this will meet your needs.
Is there a difference in the performance of the 2018, 2019 and 2020 versions ؟.Would you recommend the 2018 version for use in the field of Mechanical Engineering.
I'd recommend which ever one has the highest graphics card spec that is still within your budget. You'll most likely be using CAD a lot in mech eng which craves graphics power.
@@TaylorBrauer Thank you very much
@@lamineabassi3238 Yw! Good luck!
For engineering stuff, go with 32GB RAM, if you can.
Im looking to get this exact same laptop with the same specs mainly for school, im doing cyber security. The price i found it for is $250 used but excellent condition. Is it worth it? Or any other better options?
That's a pretty good find. You'll be using linux a lot with CS which won't be as heavy as Windows. I'm not certain of all your use cases to say if it's worth it or not but I personally wouldn't have a problem picking this up for CS school work.
Mainly school since i have a gaming desktop that i pretty much use for daily gaming. Really just looking for something to be more mobile with and have it to just focus on school and starting out my CS career.
@@gasparg9030 Sounds like you're doing it right finding an affordable machine that'll get work done and minimize distractions. Wishing you the best in your studies.
I got the one with the toshiba ssd, mine maxes the pcie lane. Check if there is and firmware update on ur ssd.
Good idea. Thanks!
Did the battery fix the problem? I have one that I got in 2018 that has that exact same issue, though the battery report is healthy.
It did! It's a very odd issue.
Mine did too. Replaced the battery (easy) and works like new.
Looks like at least one of the cells was dead, so he had to replace all of them, as they are joined in parallel.
I wanted to buy this but i am reading alot of issues in Reddit plateform, usually cos thermal throttling... :(
It does thermal throttle, yes. However, I think you have to look at it for what it is. It's a slim laptop with not a lot of opportunities to exhaust heat. That's due to the massive processor Dell puts in these. There's tons of performance metrics on this laptop by now so I'd recommend looking at those and if that performance is what you are looking for then perhaps this laptop may suit your needs. Despite the thermal throttling, mine was able to edit 4k h.265 footage which is pretty impressive given this is an older laptop.
$550 was an insanely good deal! The 1tb ssd alone is worth half that.
Right!? There's tons of them out there too. These machines are still so good in 2022.
@@TaylorBrauer I got mine with the toshida drive, i get max speeds with the nvm, check if there is an update for ur drive.
No you can get a 1tb ssd for like 50 dollars lol
You are better off getting a laptop with a smaller NVME drive (so it's cheaper) and replacing it with a nice and new Samsung drive, either 1 or 2 TB.
Hi, i am about to buy this 2018 9570 laptop model, as a software developer and dev ops.
Will you advise i go through with it?
I'm not sure of your particular use case but the hardware is still fairly powerful. Software compatibility might be a different experience so you'll have to make sure what you plan to do is doable. Good luck!
@@TaylorBrauer so it’s basically work on aws platform, coding in intelliJ and android studio. Desktop and mobile apps
At least, no plan for game development.
Will be doing some music recording too, using protools.
@@its_dfg That's awesome. I hope whatever you decide on levels up your skills and affords you continued success.
@@TaylorBrauerthank you so much.
I really appreciate.
Hey bro, still viable in 2024? I can pick one up for £300 - £350 in the uk!
It's still a great machine. Just don't expect too much from it. It'll handle some small to medium sized web dev projects.
so do u think it would run roblox great ?
Not sure, tbh. I've never played Roblox. Seems fairly easy to run. You've reminded me I need to give it a play.
It’s a good laptop but honestly for that price you could have gotten something newer
These "older" laptops have everything most people need. Just make a nice new Windows install.
You better repast those cpu and gpu and clean both fans . Look like have heat problem
All good suggestions for sure. I did re-paste the cpu and it helped a little. These machines ran hot new and aging just makes it worse. I wouldn't say it's intolerable though.
@@TaylorBrauer yes that is. Can you do another powerfull low budget like under 500 laptop old one
@@TabjMax-yk5qf I'll consider making another.
@@TaylorBrauer thanks buddy. I'm struggling to find laptop for some light unreal engine practice plus main music production work. I need windows one older generations find . I can get macbook air or pro m1 but it's way over my budget and application price way higher then windows
you look diffrent bro
Hey Taylor, Can I have that?
There's lots of great deals on these you should be able to find pretty easily. Good luck in your search.
