who's gettin an xps17??

Basically, Engineering sample: Went through QC. Consumer product: dafaq is QC?

XPS 15 +XPS 17 = XPS 32 Quick Mafs, Dave

2.5 kg: "It's heavy" me carrying a 4 kg HP laptop from 3 years ago: "bruh"

Can we appreciate you used and compared the retail units vs engineering samples?!

Dave what I love most about your videos is that when the video starts, you start talking about the subject of the video; and when you stop talking about the subject of the video, the video ends. Thanks a million for the great review of hardware I will never be able to afford.

Watching d2d videos about laptops I can’t buy at 2am sounds about right

Thanks! Just received my fully loaded XPS 17. No wobble on the track pad. I purchased it primarily based on your reviews. I'm upgrading from another 4K laptop, so I appreciate the 4K clarity. Pretty happy with it so far. Premier smokes and it fits in the same case as my 15.6" laptop.

This review is so great..I love the way you do reviews. They are short, to the point and honest. Thank you Dave.

When Dave says that things get “conversational” you better be afraid

I love how straight forward & simple he keeps his videos. Just the necessary information & no nonsense. Keep up the good work dave.😊

Awesome as always Dave thank you, particularly appreciate the Latency monitor analysis.

Enjoying your reviews all the time. Thank you so much Dave!! (My very first comment to cheer you up :))

I've been waiting for the 17 review for sooooo long!

Been waiting for this for sooo long!

Good quality, honest straight reviews. Thanks for your work, Dave!

Been waiting for this review! 😁👍🏽

Been looking forward to this!

Thank you so much for talking about music production. Everyone always forgets about it even though it's really intensive for your pc

David Lee, Thank you so much for your reviews. I recently brought the XPS 15 laptop and the issue I faced is my touchpad. Luckily dell is replacing the whole unit for me but I wouldn't have noticed it if I didn't watch your video.

Always love to see you doing laptop reviews. and when XPS or Blade then its a killer.

Omg, i was searching for such a video the whole day, & just now got uploaded😍🔥

Man, your outro soundtrack always makes me wonder if the sound is in the video or its from outside. Great video though, as always!

Great review, thanks! SUBSCRIBED!! - cheers from Sydney Australia!

great vid! I just ordered an xps15 a while back.... now i just gotta wait for like 1 month for it to arrive! yay!

Track pad wasn't an issue with me and I would never have really known. Now I hear about this issue, see your video walk over to it and whamo I got the damn rattle. Thanks a bunch

YES Music production comments, THANK YOU DAVE ! You're the only one thinking about us it seems

the quality of dave´s videos is just awesome.

Getting mine freshly produced in 11/2020 - used it a week and now we are here - wobbling :D nice

5:38 - I love how Dave just breaks character like that. It just adds that comedic humour to his videos. On a side note what is he exactly looking at when looking to his left and then upwards? Are there monitors back there that we don't see?

Yasss. I've been waiting for this!

I've been wanting a review on the xps 17!

Hey Dave it'd be lovely to see a budget gaming laptop video.Keep up the good work 🙌🏼

0:15 trying to avoid using the phrase "daily driver" .

As a music producer - thank you so much for checking the latency! It really is important. I hope you will continue doing it on the next devices too :)

I watched his dell inspiron video 2 weeks before and till now i have watched almost all of his videos, which doesnt even makes sense! Love you dave! Awesome work😃

You order me what I have to do just to get your video ending sound. It's so soothing that I can't sleep without thinking about hearing it in my mind.

Feels like I've been waiting for this so long!

hey dave, are we gonna get a review on the new hp omen 15 ? i'm really digging the new design

love your insightful videos.please do one on the best laptops for trading options stocks and futures, thanks

"Be careful, turns out 17 is more than the 15" ~ D2D

Thank you for being the only laptop reviewer that checks for DPC Latency. As a music and audio guy, it can be so frustrating scouring the internet for people who have done latency test on these machines and I can't afford to just buy one to test out.

Dude, You do delightfully intelligent reviews. You cover all the little things a picky user cares about. It's a pleasure to listen to you breeze through your evaluation points. Your reviews are information rich. Thank you.

thanks for bringing the audio thing up, what we usually mean about latency is with an audio interface, since windows has a really weird way of handing audio drivers, my focusrite 2i4 really gets unusable at times where as on macOS I see absolutely no issues. Great video as always dave and thank you for thinking about us producers.

Thanks Dave. Excellent review. We just bought a Dell XPS laptop today.

Thank you Dave, for helping making Dell publicly respond to the trackpad issue! Let's all hope they'll fix it from now on.

Very solid review as usual, excellent.

You’re coming from a much different direction than me! I had the old xps 17 and use desktop replacements for not production but development. Going to this 17 will be hugely more portable!

The 17 is nearly my perfect laptop, though I'm half of the mind to hold out for a Ryzen varient. That could be a long wait however...

The voice so smooth, I could sit here and listen to you talk about the traffic.

You give the cleanest review ever. Keep up the good work.

great review, thanks, Dave

8:15 "I originally thought it would be the 17" for sure BUT this is a big machine...um, I'm gonna go with it tho." 😂

I am obsessed with the XPS 17, have watched every single video on KZbin about it, predicted the launch on Reddit, spoken with Dell countless times about it, and ordered the top model the moment it came out. As an XPS connoisseur who has seen every review about this thing, this video is extremely well done and kudos to you, this is some very nice work sir :)

Hi Dave, I'm your fan and really like your videos. I personally wonder if by chance that you can make an episode comparing all the best-performing workstation laptops (not gaming laptops). My Best.

the way you said love it, idk more peppy than usual, made me feel nice

FINALLY the existence of music producers has been acknowledged

What are the general thoughts on the 2020 XPS 15's battery cycle rating?

Your vids are amazing dude!

As usual pretty insightful content Dave! But please share that Backpack link !!!!!

The last XPS 17 had the numpad and I loved it for it.

You are the man! Thanks for that video! I had prepared the money to get the XPS 17, and on the release day in Japan, the full specs were ridiculously low, so I decided to wait until dell release the US specs XPS 17 in Japan! Right now we don’t have the good video cards, only the GTX 1650, only the 6 core 10750 CPU, cant even choose :) also I wanted to upgrade to 64 GB RAM and 2 TB, but you; can’t do it in Japan...

Thanks for talking about music production and latency!!!

Hi Dave! Thank you for the vid, always love your content Just wanted to ask, what made you move from your previous daily use (I believe 2019 razer)

"If you’re intrested in buying one you’re......” Bruh I can’t afford anything you review here, I simply am a subscriber just watch some tech related stuffs😂😂

I have funded the RnD for these machines by buying a 2018 G3. You're welcome mortals.

I think you are one of the most honest youtubers in tech industry right now. The problems you highlight in the new laptops is something most youtubers tend to forget but when you look on the consumer end its not something you can forget. KZbinrs need to me more transparent about the review units they get and the shipping model and highlight the improvments in developing stage and thats where you are set apart from the rest of the crowd . Great Job with the video and good luck . Thanks, Have A Nice Day and Great Years Ahead.

This guy is getting better day by day, a comprehensive review I must say

"XPS 17 + XPS 15 Review" = "Super XPS 32 Review"

Are you gonna do a xps 17 vs 2019 mbp 16?

Thank you, Dave, for checking latency mon app. Me as music producer can look at xps series now

Thanks for the follow up review. Really great points. I’m excited to see how the XPS 17 with the 2060 performs against the new 5600M graphics option in the MBP 16. I hope Dell fixes their QC issues soon - they’re beautiful laptops.

I have XPS 15 model from 2017 Still works perfect and will give at least 2 years more service hopefully. Plan to replace it 2021. Lets see

Dave: 4K on 17" no point. Also Dave: Not 1440p on 6" phone, wouldn't recommend.

Thanx Dave. Nice review.

You're videos are the boss!

really would have liked having the 4900HS in this while + them somehow getting thunderbolt 3 support before USB 4.

hey dave does the xps 17 lose performance when it is not pluged into a wall?

you are my go to guy when i want to watch a laptop review

just got an XPS 15 (July 2021 - and have found its got the trackpad wobble! ) will get in touch with dell and probs return.

Subscribers: How many times you will make a video on xps laptops Dave: *Yes*

exeptional video as always love watching it with no money to spend on anything you review tho 😅

appreciate the latency check for music production. no it's not comprehensive but it is a worthy and good early warning test. Thanks man.

I ordered a custom XPS 9500 mid July. No issues with it at all. Dave, you helped me a lot in my purchase decision. I recently moved from a tech rich environment to BFE. To get my hands on anything is a four hour drive one way. I combed through reviews. Many of which really felt like propaganda cheerleading (that one dad guy I'm looking at you). I like your low key presentation, and really accurate communication. You communicated real world expectations exactly on par with what I experienced once the machine arrived. I wish you could have gotten your hands on an HP ENVY, but speaking with other reviewers HP doesn't seem to understand the value in providing review units, at least not with the ENVY (new not the old Envy). Anyway appreciate your work. Hope this helps provide motivation for your continued efforts.

I like the 17”, can’t afford either of them though...

At this point, I don't even know why I watch these videos when I can't even affort half of it.

Got the XPS15 and love it!

I love the backpack! What is it? Do you have a link to it?

0:48 The XPS 17 can be equipped with a vapor chamber ? Does it mean the 1650 Ti is cooled by regular heat pipes ?

UpStanding review!

Amazing video as always! Also, I really like your backpack, could I please get a link for it, please??

Man i wanted to see so much the difference in size between the old xps 15 and the new xps 17

The undervolt thing seem to be intel’s problem, I have some old dell machines which I updated the bios lately, the undervolt option disappeared after the update. Dell’s ans for this is that they are following intel’s new recommendations for security reasons, to disable the capability of undervolting

Do you recommend the XPS 15 for video editing? Would you recommend any HP laptops for video editing?

Another great review Dave. As a long term user of XPS and equivalent Precision laptops, I would love an XPS 17 with the additional screen real estate. However, as your review wasn't as glowing as I expected, and as you are a massive fan of the Razer Blade, what are your views on the XPS 17 versus the 2020 Razer Blade Pro 17?

DEFINITELY heavier than I thought lol. I was with Surface Pros in the last 4 years that I could easily take out of my bag with two fingers when I wanted to work a little bit. But now, with the 15" xps boy oh boy I almost need both hands. 17" Definitely too big and heavy for me.

HP did a refresh of their Envy and Spectre laptops, i would love to see a review of either one :)

thanks for pointing out where to customize the hardware! VERY sad to see that the FHD doesn't come with a touch option and it may be a deal breaker for me :/

can you use solid red color on screen and tell me if it's pure red or a bit of orange?

Honestly this looks beautiful but I’m going to hold off until next year until AMD chips are in these things
