[TangyTangoJuice]

is it made of aluminum?

[Jallge]

Why does everyone eventually end up copying Apples styling?

[thavox]

Kundenrezensionen:

Habe mir den Dell als Ersatz meines Macbook Pro 13 Zoll gekauft.Nach Jahren wollte ich mal wieder auf Windows umsteigen.Ich muss sagen:Das Ding ist echt gut.Ja es kommt nicht ganz an die Verarbeitungsqualität eines Apple ran,aber ich bin doch ganz zufrieden.Es ist wirklich ganz flott unterwegs ...

[505bhargav]

proper review of a laptop,,, thumbs up,, good review

[Elusive7thElement]

Yeah, well i got a dell lattitude d600(1.6ghz 1core 512mb ram 32mb ati card)

[snapsalot]

@Elusive7thElement one step up from a commodor 64 friend :D

[Elusive7thElement]

@snapsalot

i also have a amstrad from the 80s and an acorn with 80mhz arm cpu 4kram 4mb hardrive

[TheGimpyGus]

why is your speaker on cup holders

[TheHardcore7]

I already did and got to the card corrienra PES2012 envy and nothing .. in the settings it says I have 64 video memory and recognizes the Intel HD graphics

[MrAdhiSuryana]

That girl is so annoying...

[flickture]

A pretty good laptop considering the fact that I got it for $280.

[TheHardcore7]

I just bought a dell 15z and when I try to run a game with resolution 1200 or more it says that my video card does not support this resolution and 640 runs

I could not play any game with the optimum resolution of your pc and video samples

could you help me what should I do

[flickture]

@TheHardcore7 This laptop has two graphic cards. Nvidia and the inbuilt Intel card. They switch automatically depending upon the demand for graphics and battery status. In your case it might be that the Intel card is getting activated for that specific game. To verify and fix this, right click on the desktop, go to Nvidia Settings and you'll find an option to control the active card for the applications installed.

[pulpanochamaster]

Fuck, almost 30 secs to load?

[snapsalot]

@pulpanochamaster i just got a 15z it takes 10-15 seconds for a boot up. Not long and shorter then my desktop I think.

[MzFlyGuhh]

wait so, i have the same laptop and i had to reset my administrator password for it and when i finaly logged back in my computer the webcam and everything else was gone.. :( how do I get that back?

[Canadian737]

Watching this video.....using this laptop :D.

[Ruzlier]

@Canadian737 How do you like it?

[Canadian737]

@Ruzlier Great! I have the i5 version, which is still very powerful. It's a very speedy machine and looks great. If you have the budget and are wanting to game on it, I'd recommend getting the i7 version, but the i5 is still amazing. The only thing is the wifi card is kinda bad, it doesn't always connect to some networks well or at all.

[Ruzlier]

@Canadian737 I will try to get the I7 version, it is 300 more for the cheapest i7 version though. Thanks for telling me, I am getting it soon

[Hachiko1923to1935]

@Canadian737 same here !!

[m4tttc]

will this laptop play portal 1 and 2 fine?

[ACSchott]

@m4tttc Dude.... pretty much any machine can play those two games. Just sayin :p

[6Vital6Remains6]

@m4tttc Yes.

[fruitzy101]

Unless you've already done so

[fruitzy101]

Ay mate but there is one thing that you have forgotten, the windows experience index rating is preset to a quick review of the specs of your computer. When you click "Re-run this assesment" it will actually do a full in depth review (see what I did there?) of you're system and, more than likely, get a higher rating. Not to mention the fact that you can buy this laptop with an ssd which will make it run 2x faster. Cheerio

[JustAsh99]

Im totally getting this



[harinderdemigod]

@MrtThaibox123 whats the price of this laptop???



[snapsalot]

@harinderdemigod with the specs shown the cheapest you can hope for is 900-950

[duhhybrid]

well...this will be my next laptop :)

[TheMatthew6520]

is this laptop able to run black ops?, any help appreciated. cheers

[duhhybrid]

@TheMatthew6520 it should be able to, it has a nvida GPU and Intel processor with at least 4gb+ RAM

[MrSonic3000]

so its something like a macbook pro? cuz iam getting one for my dad for his bday

[SenorCajones]

Oh for fuck's sake...first of all, what's a jewel core? I thought it was dual core. And what's with the accent? Go to fucking school and dump that crap...

[tbreakwell7]

You should have gone for the SSD, so much better mate, quicker, cooler and quieter.

Your aero score is due to the speed of the graphics card and that score isn't bad considering the graphics card is not fantastic.

Graphics score is due to gaming capabilities fps etc.

[iAaronHD]

Fuck the review who's the chick? If she's your wife then my goodness your a lucky man!

[ZacDesu]

So much Apple fanboy's here ._.

[iEvoss]

what the that chick just jumped in to screen ??? :OOO aaah i would her ... mmm

[MRp3JIZZLE]

I ordered a XPS 15 not a 15z. Which is better overall?

[tbreakwell7]

@MRp3JIZZLE 15z is better unfortunately mate in every department. However the xps 15 is cheaper.

[Tylerheels150]

I got one of these for christmas turned it on and the harddrive wouldn't pickup, sent it back

[EdwardTheTechGeek]

The superdrive really looks like the macbook pro. QUIT COPYING APPLE!

[EdwardTheTechGeek]

Apple should sue Dell.

[Seniital]

@EdwardTheTechGeek your officialy retarded....

[SenorCajones]

@Seniital you need to look up the word "your" in the dictionary, I think.

[mrapter7]

if the screen's resolution is 1920x1080.....and a 1080p video is 1920x1080...why didnt that video stretch the full screen res? Oh...because it wasnt 1080p. Its 720 -.- I have no doubt it can run a raw avi in 1080p, but pls put an annotation to correct your mistake

[manbuin]

@mrapter7 it is full hd

[tbreakwell7]

@manbuin yes 1920 x 1080

[tbreakwell7]

@mrapter7 Take it with a pinch of salt mate. Aspect ratio can be changed on many media players.

[hot1ace]

i always look for floral patterns when checking out laptops... ;)

[br0Xr0xx0rz]

I bought this refurbished. Do you think it'll run problem free? I haven't gotten to test it yet.

[taimoortahseen]

came here for the laptop....stayed becuz of the chick on the left!

[Baldoki]

dell copy macpro design

[footballgk]

@iSt3ve1 Not a macbook atleast

[MRb00sh]

@iSt3ve1 Macbook Pro isn't used for gaming. It isn't even compatible with some of the games out now. You would need several programs and extras and etc. I'd go with Dell or Asus for gaming

[TheTiababy10]

that girl cracks me up.

[DragracingX]

also with the webcam program you can record the screen :D its a really nice touch

[DragracingX]

i think the studio xps 16 that i got 2 years ago looks a lot better from the inside but i do like the outside of the 15z. the xps 16 looks better though with the screen up and all that

[dickieboy007]

great review... thnx

[Gamerchimp]

Why don't Windows machine companies just make A MACBOOK, but... replace everything to do with Apple with windows?

[Acesnspades16]

@Gamerchimp because, there is this great THING CALlED A COPYRIGHT

[dbarrera767]

@Gamerchimp search hp envy redesign, its coming soon

[Gamerchimp]

@dbarrera767 Hmm, I think I might have to start saving up :D

[dbarrera767]

@Gamerchimp Lucky you, I just got a new 1500 dollar laptop 4 months ago so I'm stuck for a while :(

[Gamerchimp]

@dbarrera767 Burn. I cant really start saving NOW, because I'm getting a New gaming PC but... As soon as I can :P

[JcnoProductions]

@Gamerchimp Are you by any chance BarmyGamerchip from Pwegoserver? I recognise that name from somewhere.

[Gamerchimp]

@JcnoProductions No, I'm BarmyGamerchimp - I have no idea who this 'BarmyGamerchip' is :L

[dukedase7]

Why would anyone rather have a mac than an xps... xps is much faster...

[lolbrandi18]

I don't like the keyboard, but it seems like a pretty descent computer. I bought the MacBook Pro today. I can't wait to go pick it up.

[kryslee92]

Where is the graphic card located in the computer?

[reva12]

@kryslee92 I also almost missed it; but it is actually on the right most slot with a slip in cover on the side with all the usb ports.

@MrThaniBox123 what about the speakers? Are they the factory default and how do they sound?

And what are your thoughts on an upgrade to a 2 megpixel hd webcam?

Thanks.

[ImmaSean]

Just ordered the deluxe package with all the best features on it. One hell of a laptop

[98GuitarTECH]

@mangoprojects go with MacBook Pro! If not then is suggest the 15z as the portability, weight and looks as well as the fact that it doesn't help your client base when they c ur system and is powerful enough to do all just mb pro would do it better

[littlegural]

nice tattoo!!! lol

[GoldenFrog]

Does it have an HDMI port? And how many USB ports?

[GoldenFrog]

@GoldenFrog nevermind. you answered my question. guess i should have watched the whole thing before i asked lol.

[Soulpin]

Your friend looks familiar... Is she a part of Pineapple Dance Studio?

[dratluri]

Excellent review. But I think you forgot to review about the sound quality

[mangoprojects]

Hello, I enjoyed 'Dell XPS 15z vs Apple MacBook Pro 15 Inch', 'Dell XPS 15z Full In Depth Review' and 'Dell Alienware m14x' reviews. They were informative. I work 70% PSD and 30% AE and Premiem, which system do u suggest, XPS or Alienware? Thank you.

[JCDizon16]

@mangoprojects i think you need to buy the Alienware if you are a gamer but if you're not buy XPS for the Compatibility of your programs......

[Guessmylevel]

12:02

I love how you were reading from a paper :D

[JML391]

@Guessmylevel It's so we don't get an un prepared video with lots of 'Erm....' and 'Uhh' etc.

[kapselus1989]

MATE !!!! THAT GIRL IS PERFECT!!!! put a seperate video of her doing this numbers and stuff!!!!

[mrdiaz0108]

i like the performance but not design!

[PrOdiGyViisto]

it should have silver unibody with black keyboard with led backlight :) .. I mean same design as the macbook pro has

[chaparlipie]

@PrOdiGyViisto that would be a total ripoff :p

[PrOdiGyViisto]

where did you purchase this? Can't find it anywhere!

[bbenally88]

Love the poses the cute girl does.

[JC040696]

lol, you don't sound like a Thai

[LittleDinosoar]

uglyy laptop

[Lukaydo]

good review, like the overall design (don´t like that pattern), and also i missing some key on keyboard (on this size of laptop can be also numeric keyboard), anyway I want to buy it, im doing graphic design I read that this laptop has good display can you recommend it for this ? I don´t care much about gaming.

BTW. You have damn hot friend :)

[hlshcd]

can we upgrade the hard drive on this?

[haddad4gbatemp]

Just how loud is the fan when playing games? Also how hot does the laptop get? Some ppl say it is as loud as an air conditioner, is that really true?

[HBtownsendTM]

TIESTO!! haha nice review man, very much appreciated! would you recommend this laptop for music production with fl studio?

[mahchymk93]

i can't belive how ugly this damn thing is on the inside, outside looks fine but inside is FUGLY!

[loverofal02]

is the alienware m14x better?

[Zeaded]

Then he opens the lid... Oh god it's horrible

[danny6290]

Whoa! Does the girl come with the computer? xD

[davidcoady91]

i am getting the normal xps 15 not going to be replacing my imac just need windows for some things. but its looks a cheap copy of a macbook pro

[MSURifleman]

How is the audio compared to the Envy 14?

[XtasicRider]

nice intro bass

[asvirgil]

Click the "cc" button and transcribe audio for some great entertainment

Great review though!

[anil2]

it looked like a nice laptop until you opened the lid lol

[djdanilo22]

Hows your experience with the slot loading drive? I heard that it gets very loud when installing a program from a disc.

[zabadaja]

nice review rly nice tumb up!

[mikrosha]

a nice design, even as a mac lover ill edit it but WHY do they insist on putting those damn stickers on the laptop!? cool video...

[Roodypoo999]

Does anyone know if I can expect a longer battery life if I chose the i5 model with the 1GB graphics card?

[ThisIsCocio]

@Roodypoo999

But why would u do that? ^^

[Roodypoo999]

@ThisIsCocio monies... lol

[Resupinetax]

Very nice Video men!

[ByReload]

is this an i7

[TheGarvito]

thats not a 90 degree angle its a 178 degree

[TheGarvito]

why are the specs of this better than the alienwares?? and alienwares are WAY thicker and bulky

[JantarDentelle]

Eww looks ugly when you open it up :(

[kapz987]

how much did this cost you ?

[N3M3S1SZ]

where did you hire the girl? XD

[MrThaibox123]

@N3M3S1SZ lol i didn't hire her, she's a friend

[N3M3S1SZ]

@MrThaibox123 Can i be her friend too? And i'm wondering, why is your name mr.thaibox?

[moneybabyg]

@MrThaibox123 you got yourself a cute looking friend, she's hot

[TheWenis666]

@MrThaibox123 

[TheWenis666]

@MrThaibox123 nice coasters in the top right corner

[mrdiaz0108]

@MrThaibox123 Does your friend have fb?

[ExtraTerrestrials]

@MrThaibox123 that's what she said :D

[mabhido]

@MrThaibox123 I have friends, they don't bloody look like that

[Matthew8Iadevaia]

i just think that when you look at it opened up, its looks a little cheap looking

[divinelykeyed]

the keyboard looks childish..should have put in an island style keyboard with numeric keypad and relocate the speakers somewhere else..

[MuffMuffV2]

alienware m14x or dell xps 15z for gaming

[The91legend]

really great review man!!!

where did you buy this laptop from?amazon or the dell site???because i've searched for the same performance and didn't find one like this for 1100 pounds....thxx

[sscoolssingh80]

Can you make Alienware m14x vs Dell xps video?

[Dmhlcmb]

Is that your wife holding the numbers? She's super hot you lucky effing dog.

[yangboi88]

hmmm...copying the macbookPro huh? I like it though! a pc version of the macbookPro...need to get rid of the stickers. I do like the vent in the back...kinda reminds me of the MacbookPro's heat vent in the back! Speakers on the sides...reminds me of something else. hmm....video webcam effects....sounds familiar! Keyboard back lite...also sounds familiar. On thing i really really really like about this new laptop is that its cheaper than the macbookPro and performs the same!

[yangboi88]

the slot looks also familiar too!

[ZHDesignX]

Thanks for the review, you helped me decide on buying the 15z. :)

[chulate1]

does the HDD and rams could be easily remove for future upgrade?

[Dontpickmelast101]

lol i have macbook pro, but that thing is sexy

[bmgreatness1]

I subscribed after seeing the girl at round 3

[FoundationGames]

@bmgreatness1 they're all the same girl

[Halo4978x]

At first i was like WTF THE FAN NOISE IS LOUD then I found out it was my laptop

ignore my last post for missed spelling. :D

[Halo4978x]

At first i was like WTF THE FAN NOICE IS LOUD then I found out it was my laptop

[ZoMbZascension]

@Halo4978x LOL

[samsandy121]

I brought this laptop it failed badly sent back after 3 days for refund brought iMac. Great screen and super fast get my imac friday :)

[exelion2]

lol

You make a click with a thumb without hitting a touch pad...

[Rickation]

@Appletechreviewer btw its a mac with windows ... just the diff is the speakers .

[madmadmax321]

@Rickation Not true i own this machine and it does not have as good build quality as it should for the price it is.

[Rickation]

@Appletechreviewer LOL

DUDE YOU FUCKING SUCK ... YOU SAY THAT BECAUSE YOU ARE A STUPID MAC USER LOOK AT YOUR USER LOL HAHAHAHAH

[erikmcmathews]

ring babe was the best part of this IMHO

[2702Sagar]

which is better choice? xps 15 or 15z?

[ZoMbZascension]

@2702Sagar 15z is obvously better man

[kami645464]

2 people think nothing is better than a macbook

[rkakak]

Very good review. Keep it up!

[TheLilPhip]

it just looks horrible on the inside...

[tenvids]

Good review mate.

How is the Intel Wireless Display (WiDi) performance on this 15z?

Cheers

[iderren]

Great video just need slightly better sound quality!

[Stuban89]

Mr.Thaibox123 when doing the review how come you did not zoom in some cases so we could see what was going on for e.g when showing the windows score, just a thought, other than that keep up the great work, I think your channel is great.

[MrPhatSlim]

i cant stop watching this lol, i would love one of those beauties lol!

[Jamalfield]

It's so similar to the macbook pro except it's much cheaper. Also what you don't mention is that the 17 inch is a billion times better than the 15inch and 17 inch macbook pro. It's got blu ray, 3d everything. Also I'm a mac fanboy, but I have to admit that this is just to good of a laptop to pass on, especially with the price.

[Jamalfield]

@Jamalfield In my opinion :)

[whudafxup246]

For the price, its way better then the macbook pro

[stoolypooch]

fantastic review

[MrRoyksopp]

Every computer company tries and tries, but they just can't beat the Macbook Pro!

[ruhulaminutube]

Battery life is pretty good... for a pc.

[stydel311]

id pick the macbook pro over the dell, no effence to dell, but the macbook is more professional looking

[RonnieB5555]

Because it is so similar to a Macbook, can you use it with cases and sleeves made for the Macbook?

[nylecrane2k7]

@RonnieB5555 No

[HLM190586]

Haha I have that 1080p Taxi 3 trailer too.
