Dell Inspiron 15 7000 Series Gaming Edition 7567 15.6-Inch Full HD Screen Laptop - Intel Core i5-7300HQ, 1 TB Hybrid HDD, 8GB DDR4 Memory, NVIDIA GTX 1050 4GB Graphics, Windows 10

Gaming machines are Windows computers that actually work. This is a very solid, sleek, fast laptop.Pros:- Fast i5 enhanced by a dedicated Nvidia 1050 GPU to take some load off. The i5 in this machine benchmarks at 80% of the speed of an i7 @ 3.30GHz using CPU-Z in single threaded mode, but in mult-ithreaded mode the i7 is over 10x faster. Some of that difference could be the laptop is running single channel memory from a single 8GB SODIMM, instead of a matched set of RAM cards in most desktops. In real world use, Windows 10 is such a pig and so slow anyway, that installing a single, larger, cheaper SODIMM is the smart choice for overall performance, because having more slower memory is faster than having less faster memory. But adding a second, matched 8GB 2400 SODIMM to bring the machine up to 16GB would likely speed up the machine some.- I think the design is gorgeous: simple, reasonably thin, very rigid- GREAT GREAT GREAT front facing speakers, for a laptop. Spacious stereo imaging and the laptop actually gets loud. There is even a little bit of genuine bass. A lot better than low end external speakers, and on par with a Beats Pill.- Keyboard has a nice feel, and the backlighting is just right. There's a little light bleed from around the keys that is inconsistently bright when viewed from a low angle, but overall the backlighting is good.- The IPS screen is impressively bright and sharp, but it is not nearly as colorful as my Dell Ultrasharp2913UW when attached as an external monitor (photo comparisons attached). Note: the external monitor in the photos is being driven by the Nvidia chips and the laptop screen is being driven by the Intel chips, which might have some impact on color quality. Yes, the color of the laptop screen is inferior to a pricey external monitor, but it definitely looks better than 90% of laptops out there, and it is an IPS unit, not a TN. Based on the poor screen reviews here, I thought this came with a TN screen so I bought a third party IPS screen model # AU OPTRONICS B156HAN01.1. The replacement IPS screen was slightly less vibrant and less colorful than the Dell, plus it suffers from much worse light bleed near the corners and has two very annoying hot pixels right in the middle. Both screens are AMAZINGLY sharp, much sharper even than my Dell 2913UW, but also a lot smaller with the same 1080 vertical resolution. So the other reviewers are wrong, new Dell 7567s DO come with an IPS screen--confirmed. The attached photo that is missing the laptop's screen bezel (white wiring exposed) shows the OPTRONICS B156HAN01.1 screen--the color and brightness is no better and the Dell's IPS screen, maybe worse.- Three USB 3.0 ports- Dell's great 7Amp external power supply.- Not too heavy and feels solid.- Supports a 4K second monitor. The 1050 drives the second monitor by default to provide excellent gaming speed and video editing power.- One screw, easy access to the RAM and HDD/SSD bays. Awesome!Cons:- The Dell 5000 has the almost the same specs for $100 less, except the great gaming case and speakers, but that i5 is a gen behind and the screen is lower res.- Dell screwed up the bios settings, making the exellent Samsung 960 M.2 Nvme SSDs incompatible at the motherboard level. Depite the horror stories, I gave it a go anyway. The Samsung SSD slides right into the empty slot (my config came only with a 1TB HDD). Once installed and unformated, the Dell sees it right away, so cloning the existing HDD boot patitition to the SSD is a breeze. But once formatted, the SSD disappears. The trick was to return the BIOS to it's default settings. There is another option to return to "factory" settings---dont pick that one. Now the Samsung M.2 SSD works great. Boot time dropped from 39 secs to 19 secs.- The motherboard treats an advanced SSD as a basic SATAdevice, so Samsung's free Magician software has none of the advanced, high speed features enabled. Bummer.- The included 5400RPM mechanical harddrive is slow and it slows the whole machine to a chug. I wouldn't even consider using this machine with Windows running off that hard drive--way too slow.Overall Conclusions:- Adding an 250GB SSD then cloning it to be your boot drive adds $150 but makes a huge difference running all applications under Windows 10.- The cheaper i5 is very competitive with the i7 in single threaded mode (productivity applications) but is only 9% as fast in multi threaded mode.So if you are buying this gaming laptop because the usual productivity-focused laptops are generally garbage, go for it. If you are actually buying this for gaming, I would DEFINITELY spring for the i7 version, since it has an Nvidia 1050 ti instead of base 1050, has 10x faster multi-threaded CPU performance, and it comes with more RAM and a small SSD as standard. That said, if the SSD uses the 2.5 inch drive bay, you're going to have to remove it for more storage and buy an m.2 SSD.Overall, this is a really great and satisfying laptop and I'm glad I bought it.

This laptop so far has had great performance after i made modifications...First the 1 tb hybrid drive that is installed is a SERIOUS bottleneck and i recommend switching out to an m2 sata SSD as a boot drive if you really want to utilize the performance of this machine. I use the drive that came with it as a data drive to store games and everything else and it works just fine. I bought a silicon power m55 m2 for $50Second, if you are planing on doing any serious gaming on this machine such as GTA or the forest, i recommend installing an extra 4-8 gb of ddr4 ram into the machine as well, as games like GTA will CHEW through the 1 8gb stick installed. There is only 2 dimms so i recommend just grabbing another 8 gb stick.Third, I upgraded to windows 10 pro because i needed to utilize the Hyper V feature for virtual machines for work. If you plan on keeping the OS thats installed already its not a half bad idea to just reset the pc so that all the bloatware is blasted away...NOW onto the laptop itseslf.Many people have had qualms with the display... lets just say its not the best display and it has terrible viewing angles, and i mean TERRIBLE viewing angles, along with that it is not very bright (i found this frustrating while playing games like The Forest because at night its damn near impossible to see things but with modifications in game settings you can work around this.)The mouse pad is awful don't get me wrong for everyday tasks such as browsing or working its acceptable but when you try and game, your left hand sits soooo close to it that you often will touch the touch pad and disrupt your game play. I just got a Bluetooth mouse and have been using that as my primary but if you are a gamer you will not be using the touch pad anyway so its not the biggest deal in the world.The laptops webcam and microphone features are also... lackluster my old asus X550ML had a clearer picture, but since i use an external webcam it doesnt bother me too much. the on-board microphone is great actually, when using discord it transmit clear audio to whomever i am playing.WiFi performance is solid, on-board AC wireless and Bluetooth is nice and i haven't had any issues with them alone so far... but when i use my VPN connection sometimes when i disconnect from my VPN, the computer will stop sending out DNS inquiries and i have to logout and log back in in order to get those working again. (ONLY HAPPENS WHEN I DISCONNECT FROM VPN CONNECTIONS)The keyboard is nice and i enjoy the red back light as it is soothing on the eyes at night opposed to my old blue back-lit keyboard which sometimes can strain the eyes and is just toooo bright.The sound on this machine is actually very good compared to other laptops i have owned (macbook pros/airs/ toshiba satilites/ MSI/ etc) the built in woofer actually provides a degree of clear bass that i havent experienced on a laptop previously so A+.The exterior of the laptop is some type rubber-y plastic, opposed to an aluminum but this isnt a big deal, its fairly scratch resistant unlike aluminum, while it attracts a TON of fingerprints i just use a microfiber cloth and it cleans off very easily so no biggy.Underload of GTA on high settings it heats up to about 60 C, and is consistant but dont get me wrong this thing can get pretty loud, i use a cooling pad so i dont ever feel heat coming off the bottom. i noticed that close to the power button and the num pad can get warm and closer to the where the heatsinks are near the back of the unit.OVERALL, would i recommend this to a friend? YES ONLY if he knew that he would have to put a little bit of money into it from the get go, but i wouldnt recommend this to someone on a strict budget. After modifications i have throughly enjoyed this computer and has handlede all i have to throw at it... now only time can tell whether or not this machine was worth it.For those who live in a busy neighborhood please read on... request them to require signature before delivery as my package was orginally stolen from my front porch... amazon was little help and was very quick to blame me for it after sending me around in customer service loops, luckily my friend who lives across the street his parents installed a security system and there from door camera was able to see my front door as well... (zmodo cameras for the win) i was able to identify the person as the 19 year old who lives next door and i confronted him and his parents with the video footage and polcie presence and he coughed up my laptop very quickly... but be warned amazon will be quick to tell you (that sucks but we cant help).

La laptop es bastante buena en sí. Las especificaciones son suficientes para jugar una variedad de juegos. Quizás algún upgrade respecto a la RAM sería importante considerar.
