Dell Inspirion 7577

I had absolutely none of those issues. Are you trolling or just unlucky?

 

Bro i wish i was trolling this is the wierd sound that is coming out of my laptop : https://vocaroo.com/i/s1umtS5hQzI5 should i upgrade my warranty to onsite support is it worth it?

 

Whoops tried to quote you..

 

That doesn't sound like coil whine to me, more like a faulty fan bearing or HDD (if your config has whine). If it's really a faulty/broken fan bearing this can also explain the high temperatures

 

Yep sounds like a bad fan to me.

 

I have ordered one with i5 7300HQ/8G/256G SSD/GTX1060 maxq configuration.
Will update after receiving the unit. Expected delivery date is 10/26.

 

I already miss mine, it really was a cool machine.

 

Sounds good. Mine is scheduled to arrive slightly earlier (10/23) with a similar configuration; I'll do the same.

I can't believe you sold it - it was partly because of your review that I bought mine!! Still you can't argue with a budget, so I get it. I've been waiting a while to update my 7559 and looked at all kinds of options before I chose this one, so I'm glad I waited (I think).

 

Hi there, I am willing to buy one... However there are few things I wanted to ask first.

4K configuration is the only one that comes with 512 SSD. Is it worth it besides it? The laptop is going to be plugged most of times (at home or at office) so battery is not too big issue... However I am concerned about scaling, and icons being too small. I have never owned 4k screen before. Is there any reason to be worried?

Also, how are the temps with i7 configuration? There is no i5 configuration available.

 

I have an AW 15 on 4k and that resolution is really a hit or miss. I would say that it is not great for playing games on a laptop. Laptop GPUs still struggle to support 4k gaming. But if you would rather watch / edit videos then go ahead for 4k.

I use mine for remote working as I have 6 1024p screens in the office and they all fit when work from home. I just magnify the screen I want to use.

Windows scaling is also a bit washed out. the colors are not that vibrant.

This time I'll probably get a 1080p when the i5 version comes out in my current location

 

Anyone using a laptop sleeve that they can recommend? The extra depth at the back of this laptop where the cooling is located makes me hesitant on buying any random 15 inch laptop sleeve that would fit.

 

It should to delivery Friday 20. I can do it, if you say me which software to run for testing. Usually I use Aida64 for stability & CPU,unigine valley/heaven for GPU. XTU just for undervolt vcore

 

yes please, do with stock no undervolting and with undervolting, and some real gaming temperature if you have some game to run.

thanks in advance.

 

I've got a 7577 with i7 and 1060 max-q. I have not trying undervolting (no experience doing that, sorry... might do later) yet, but I do get slight CPU throttling during 3dMark stress tests (time spy and Fire strike). After updating the driver via geforce experience, the things have improved a bit, but I still get slight throttling when running the stress tests. Temps (both CPU and GPU) are in 70s most of time, but sometimes hit low 80s.

Firestrike and Time spy benchmark scores are close to Omen with max-q (you can see the results on notebookcheck).

Will try to answer more questions, if you've got any.

 

Does it actually throttle or is that what the little graph at the end of the test is saying? What is your score? I hit 3400 points in timespy.

 

The little graph says so. I've got about 3400 too... don't remember the exact score... On time spy, the graph falls near 2000 many times... I guess it can be considered throttling... Not for long periods of time, and not serious... but I guess it still counts as throttling. At fire strike it hit several times below 2800 (2796) so not sure it counts...

 

I don't think it's throttling, all of my systems do that according to that graph. My guess is that graph is worth as much as the paper it's printed on.

 

Received mine in Netherlands as well, straight out of the box I have flickering white pixels all over the screen like in this video:

Doesn't matter if running from GTX 1060 or the internal GPU. Changing colors made no difference as it's also visible in bootup screen/bios. I suspect a loose connector from handling in shipping/crappy assembly.

On top of that, the down arrow key just falls off if pressed on the sides, think the foot is broken.

Aside from that it runs fine, Shadow of mordor ultra preset 75 - 80 FPS in the game benchmark.
Played Carmageddon Max Damage for hours on end with notebook on my lap and while fans kick in, it doesn't run noticeably hot.

I'm very torn between sending it in for repairs (way too many bad customer service reviews for Dell); hope for the best vs. getting a refund and either re-order the same model or start my hunt for a 1400/1700 euro gaming laptop all over again.

Had a MSI Dominator Pro 1070 from 2016 before this that had one of those bad 1070 that crashed above certain boostclock which I also RMA'd.

At this point the Xbox one X is starting to sound like a lot less hassle rather than getting back into PC gaming on a laptop...

Edit: decided to return it entirely, too many horror stories about Dell and their repair process.
If I get it repaired I'd lose the option to get refund and I'm still within 14 day period of being able to get refund without specific reason.

 

Correct me if I am wrong, but this graph does measure something doesn't it?
And when running time-spy test it gets near 2Ghz too often. (During firestrike it falls around 2.8 sometimes). If you are saying it is normal behaviour, (and even if you don't ) I guess I can live with it. It is not that noticeable... Though I need to run a couple of games before I decide.

Now if it means something... I have experienced current and power limit (XTU flag said yes) throttling after simultaneous run of (something like 10 minutes) FurMark and Prime95. One Core started reaching 94C and I've stopped the test... It was able to maintain constant clocks, though.

 

Yeah furmark and prime95 are not realistic tests to be running at the same time (furmark ever really). It is normal, at least on all of my systems (9560, 7577, 18 core xeon server, and 6 core 7800x) it shows that it clocks down and up... The only way to check would be to run hwinfo or something in the background with logging. It should decrease clock speeds when it's loading the next scene though.

 

Bummer, I would return it as well. My thought though is if you like the laptop you can re-order it and see if you get a winner. Sometimes you gotta play the dell lotto, lol.

 

Just had some very disappointing news from Dell. Checked my order status this morning and it's been pushed from 10/23 to 12/14!! Called Dell to find out what the heck was going on and was told that some parts were unavailable, might be ready for November 1st, etc. etc.

I told them to go ahead and cancel the order, but they told me it was too late and I would have to refuse the package when it arrived in order to cancel it.

Deeply, deeply unimpressed with Dell at this point. Now I'm out $1400 for a computer that might or might not show up in November or December and I can't even get my money back to order a different rig.

 

I am very happy to announce that I succesfully swapped my old 7559's display with my new 7577's display and viseversa. So that means that I now have an overclocked 7577 100hz screen! It's a perfect fit! Gaming looks so much better on a higher refreshrate. Why waste the capacity of the gtx1060 on 60hz gaming right?

 

I don't understand why they can't cancel your order? Tell them that you'll just do a chargeback. That's crazy talk on their behalf.

 

Thanks custom90gt; I thought it was weird as well, especially as under the Consumer Protection Act to refuse a refund after late delivery is illegal! I just spoke with Dell again however and received significant clarification on the problem. It seems that the order is showing as just having shipped from the United States, and as a result will take longer to arrive than originally thought.

As I will have to wait several more days Dell has offered me $75 off the price and basically stated it should arrive around November 1st. I'm still a bit disappointed, but it's not as bad as I thought it was. I have no idea why their website continues to say 12/14, but according to the person I spoke with that is erroneous information. We'll see.

 

Hi there guys!
I am very interested for this laptop, mainly for the 1060MQ version. I should use it for photo editing and sometimes for gaming.
I have read some posts from this thread and I have questions about 7577.
1) How is the screen? Colors, contrast, vision angle ecc. are they good for photo editing (I work with photos)?
2) How is the sound? I love listen to music and watch movies and I am very pretetious for sound (but meanwhile I am not a sound technician)
3) Do you advice it?
Thank you for the answers!
(Sorry me for my bad english, I know it is not so good, but I am improving it!)

 

It is generally quiet and cold, if the tasks are not too intensive. GPU temps are good. (Usually lower than 70... even during load).
Screen is okay, not great... (I've got 1920 * 1080 screen). Not sure it is good for photo editing though. (Depends on what you do)
People say that 4k screen is good but not trust me on my word... You get bigger SSD with it too.
I am happy with it for now... Even though I don't have too many laptops to compare with... (I had Asus G752 which I returned... and unless you are die hard gamer, I would advice this over it).

 

wow CPU never reach 80s with stock configuration ? they've done well on thermal.

try undervolting with intel XTU software, you can find the guide on the youtube, try -100mv 1st, and then raise to 105,110,115 and ect..

 

Hmm... I did not say never. I've said it doesn't happen too often (and it does happen on other stress tests...)
GPU doesn't get that warm though. Highest I've got during simultaneous PRIME95 and Furmark was in mid 70 (and no, I don't plan to run them simultaneously again in near future).

EDIT: For what is's worth, the XTU stress + furmark stress test kept my temps at 83 (with only one core being higher than 80) and GPU was below 70.

 

Well, I had poor time for testing my 7577 with i7 and 1060 maxQ, I'll do better these days. At the moment I just tested gpu and cpu with unigine valley and aida64 extreme. HERE the test with Valley, great gpu temp (just 60° max) and good score (with my old beast MSI GT72VR 6RD 1060 6gb regular i got 63 fps score). All STOCK,without upgrades. With Aida64 test (27 minutes) enabling CPU, FPU, CACHE and RAM stress, good results CPU max. at 73°,same the gt72vr (monster laptop) and -15°(!!!) to another msi who Ive had (ge62 7re with i7 and gtx1050ti). The fans felt just above 3300/3700rpm.
Display its decent for the price and especially NO backlight bleeding

Good first impressions. Great laptop. Next upgrades soon

 

Hi guys,
I'm looking at buying the Inspiron 7577 from the Dell online store in Ireland. The pictures show some views of the laptop with red keys and other pictures show it with the white keys (which I want to get) but I'm afraid if I order that I could possibly get the one with the red keys.. And there is no option to choose what you want either. Anyone know anything about this? Will I be getting the red or white keys from an order online?

 

would you mind to screen shoot the temperature please...

 

I read that the display has 68% of sRGB. I found laptop with 100% sRGB...
I need a clear display that represent colors in a good way for photo editing, so I am not so sure to buy it.

 

Call you local dell support (oe enter the online chat) and ask if you can order one directly through chat with white keyboard. I did so and its possible in Poland. Good luck!

 

What do you mean by CPU max?
The max for a single given core or max average temp?
Because max for core 1 for me was 85...
Average was about 78...

 

Well, ran AIDA 64 for half of an hour...
Average temp was 83.5
Max temp 86.
I've noticed about a big gap between core 1 and the rest. Core 1 was much hotter than the rest. While the rest stayed below 80 most of time, core 1 would sometimes exceed 90C.
Is it normal?

 

Well talked to Dell and they said there was a problem with fans and offered to replace it. We'll see...

 

Great thanks for your help, I will try that and see if I can get it with the white keyboard. Looks much better than the red one!

Has anyone tried overclocking the display yet?

Sent from my LG-H932 using Tapatalk

 

I used the screen from my old inspiron 7000 series since that one is perfect for overclocking. The screen in the new one can not be overclocked. Only 1 or 2 hz. Not worth the hustle. I would advise buying a screen on ebay or amazon. The connector and screw holes are exactly the same as the previous models. Colors are good too.
LGD04B9: that is the screen u want. Overclockable to 103hz. Good luck

 

Yeah the current LG panel is a POS. I couldn't OC to anything worthwhile. I was actually hoping for the panel you mentioned so I didn't need to spend anymore money. Anyway I'm actually using the
B156HTN05.2 120hz TN panel with @EmberV 's color profile he shared here . He's done a bang up job, it's looks every bit as good as the 60hz LG panen it came with.

 

Just out of pure curiosity, has any of you removed the stickers on the plam rest? How did you do it? Are there any stains left?

 

how's your 120hz panel on dell 7577 is it working well for now ??

did you already get the full Nvidia Control Panel instead limited one after instal those panel ??

 

Excellent. I'm loving it now. Unfortunately the full NCP didn't come on after that. I'm not sure why and I'd much prefer having full access.

 

I hve remove everything, very easily without stains left. This does not suffer fingersprint or dirt, its magnesium alloy metal. I like it

-- EDIT
Finally yesterday I had time to play it. just theHunter-call of the wild and PES 2018 with ultra details, about 1hour. GPU ever above 61 ° and CPU 71°. Later I post screens

 

How did you do it? Did you just peel them off?

 

Get a hair dryer, use a little bit of heat on the stickers, peel them off. Then take a rag with a small amount of goo gone, and remove the residue. easy peasy. I did all of my computers that way.

seems like the thermal doing good job with 1060MQ +7700HQ, did you raise the back of the laptop with that temperature or using some cooling pad ? what's your ambient temperature while tested that games ?
