Dell Inspiron 7559

Mine came in about half an hour ago, so far only complaint I have is the red accent on the speaker grill. With the grey model I wasn't expecting any red. I'm creating the restore media, then I will pop in my SSD and extra 8GB and install the OS to the SSD.

 

so can i use this guy along with my hdd ?

the one on ur review is ct250mx200ssd4


edit : nvm it wont .. i was lazy

 

Just the Dell UK website, I didn't choose it, it was the default.

 

Well, I've ordered one. Takes 31-35 days to custom build (their description..) my stock laptop.

 

Hey, How's the 4K display compared with FHD one? Is it also IPS? Is it glossy rather than anti-glare?

 

UHD is a glossy IPS panel. Not sure about its quality.

 

Hey, guys, which display would you choose (4K or FHD) if they are the same price?

 

Based on my findings, probably the UHD. FHD has poor colour space coverage and is dim.

 

Battery life so far seems pretty good. I'm at 66% remaining, 3 hours of moderate use (browsing the web, streaming music, watching about 45 minutes of Youtube content). Assuming this continues, it looks like you can get up to 10 hours of light/moderate use.

 

But UHD is glossy, would it be annoying? or there is no UHD display that is anti-glare?

The FHD. My hatred towards glossy screens is just too much to overcome

 

It appears the only UHD option is touch, and touch displays are pretty much always glossy.

It's a matter of personal preference as to whether or not glossy bothers you.

que sería increíble en cuatro nuceos. No crees.
pobres pantalla excusa

bad screen-spectacular battery

 

My understanding is that you can't really game with a UHD screen (on a laptop), right? 4K is too much for the GPU to handle? At least with this GPU, maybe some higher end GPU can handle it.

 

I ordered my machine on the 13th and have been patiently waiting. Been reading these posts since. If you are going to trash the display of the laptop, why also use your crappy cell phone? Isn't that sort of like a double negative in grammar? Uggh!

 

Your post doesn't make sense really. Are you upset the screen on the laptop you're waiting for might be subpar? Him using his "crappy cell phone" doesn't change that.

 

Kind of a valid point. Touchpad versus mouse or even BT mouse. Incidents of touchpad usage would probably be very low over the lifetime of the laptop. Nonetheless - when called upon it should function flawlessly, Sort of a no excuses kind of thing.

 

REALLY! No, my post is a reflection of all the whining I have had to read over the last couple of weeks. And people that don't bother to read previous postings (such is it only accepts SATA III M.2 SSD; not PCI. Come on, at this time (2015), there should be some level of sophisticated behavior on forum, no?
My point being, the original poster suggests the Dell screen sucks, then he uses an even less capable cell phone to capture the image, and posts that to represent the quality of the Dell laptop screen. Really? That reflects a high degree of fidelity?

 

I agree that people don't often bother to read prior posts where their questions were already answered. Annoying.

The screen is sub par, have a look at my review. Poor colour coverage and dim.

 

That's the only camera I have so I can't capture the screen any other way. I still think the picture shows the backlight bleed, albeit not super clearly. I'm not trashing the display, I am just saying that I personally am disappointed with it.

 

I've seen it. Thanks. My machine is on the top end. Problem with a lot of posters, they don't quite understand the differences between builds. Base model numbers might be the same, but huge variations with the components.
Cheers.

 

Yeah, I think I get it. Been through many hopes and dreams of future builds over the years. I'm waiting on mine to arrive and so of course looking at all of your guy's posts with a very critical eye. We want it to be perfect. Sometimes it comes really close. For example, the machine I am on right now (Fujitsu T901 circa 2011) started with XP, upgraded to Win 7, then 8 then 8.1. It travels on average 42 weeks per year since I have received it. No docking station. So lots of plugging and unplugging, moving and what have you. Still doing remarkably well. Took the original Win 10 upgrade just fine, but the patches killed it with no updated drivers, and had to crank it back to 8.1.
If I can get even 75% of the durability and reliability I have had from this Fujitsu out of this Dell, then I will be a happy customer.

 

I highly doubt that. The screens used will very likely be the same for all Inspiron 7559 models, unless you choose the UHD display. All components will be the same - they don't give you a better SSHD just because you chose the "top end" configuration.

No offense, but I believe you're a bit delusional if you think you'll get better RAM/SSD/display because you paid more. The top end configuration pays more for the extra RAM, SSD, and UHD - that's it.

I've owned enough Dell products to know this is how it works.

Now, if you buy an XPS instead of an Inspiron, that's a different story.

 

Only time will tell as far as the reliability aspect is concerned I'd like to hear your thoughts on the laptop once you receive it! Do you have a delivery date yet?

 

Come on Ramzay, get a grip, Eh?
I've been a member since 2008. My reps used to be WAY beyond yours, but I've not posted for quite a few years. In other words, I've be in the community for a bit.
So, yeah, I am waiting on a machine that has a UHD display. And, gee, I didn't know that I could pay a lower configuration price and then install all the really cool stuff at lower cost on my own. Come on, don't be so condescending man!
People come on these sites and they just want some no bull ****, real facts. If we know what we are talking about, we should tell folks what they need to know. There are plenty of "toys" out there saying things that folks have no way of evaluating as true or false.
Let's help them out. Trying not to be delusional.

 

30 October. Been a long couple of weeks.

 

I'm interested in knowing the brightness and colour space coverage of the UHD panel.

The FHD panel is a bit of a let down, and it is quite dim. I'm showing brightness of around 300 lux. To put that into perspective, my Clevo with the LG IPS panel has brightness readings of around 500 lux.

 

I'd imagine it uses the same UHD screen of the previous 7000 series Inspiron. If that is any indicator, the UHD on this model with also be low quality.

I remember reading it had poor color and low brightness, which sounds very similar to the FHD that has been mentioned already. It makes sense considering how cheap it is.

Personally the brightness doesn't bother me I prefer to have it lower anyway (high levels hurt my eyes), but the poor color is a definite letdown. It's 2015, how much more could is possibly cost dell to put a better display on? I can't imagine much...

 

As my research, the FHD display of this laptop is better than the lenovo Y5070. I think the display quality is acceptable

 

Initial thoughts about my 7559 after living with it for a week.

I'll start with the negative.
The quality is not on par with my stolen Lenovo Thinkpad, no where near it. The rubberised plastic is sturdy, but feels cheap, very cheap. Keypad is backlit, brilliant, but the travel can be slightly longer. I already noticed that the power button is not very responsive, you have to press it properly for it to register your press. The most striking defect is the 'End' key at the top right corner - it doesn't give you the feedback from pressing a key, but from a squash ball. The enter key is very small - though I can adapt quickly. This is the sort of compromise you need to accept if you wish to have number pad, which is lacking on XPS15. The fact that Dell doesn't fully use the chassis and maximise the keyboard is clearly cutting price down for me, us, who are prepared to compromise. Somehow, Intel HD Graphic driver stopped responding a few times since I booted it, but after driver update, it's not happened again, touch wood. The fan - is behaving itself. Like many already pointed out, the fan can suddenly be on full throttle for a few seconds, then gets quiet, as if a Veyron runs out of 20-quid worth gas after a spin. But overheating is not likely for web surfers.

Positive:
1. display is nice, the antiglare coating works
2. sound output is plenty, comparable to those JBL, OB equipped laptops, and louder than most.
3. multitasking is piece of cake, this is of course from someone who's never used a laptop with more than 2 cores.
4. 3 usb 3.0 is a nice gesture
5. battery life is good enough - 6 hours on one charge with wifi and 25% brightness
6. good value if you can live with a gaming-laptop-wannabe whose design sits awkwardly between real mean-looking machine and ordinary Inspiron, go for it.

 

You are lucky to have options - we only get black in UK.

 

What are the coupons that are still usable for discount? I've tried the 10% off and the $100 off, but it seem that all of them have been redeemed to their redemption limit.

 

I purchased from Amazon Kingston DDR3L 1.35V.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00D74FOYI?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00


Its 1.35v not dual voltage like other brands and made specifically for select Dell Notebooks.

Would rather pay a bit more and get a dedicated part for the 7559

 

Is the quality that bad i am looking at this.
.
I dont seem to understand the guy in the video.
How bad is the built quality.Send us pictures if it is very bad.I will cancel my order if thats the story.

 

So far I am enjoying the laptop. It handles SWTOR far better then I expected even at higher then 1080p (haven't tried it at full res suspect the 960 won't handle that well). GeForce Experience seems to want to run games at 2048x1152 on the 960.

Only complaints I have so far is the red accents, as far as I can tell the Dell Logo on the lid and the touch pad surround are the only accents that were removed for the "grey" model. The other complaint I have is it seems that the UHD really drains the battery. I will need to see how it does in daily use, but Battery Bar shows about 2 hours on battery from full charge. Curious to see if others with the UHD see this as well.

UHD display look great to me, currently running at 1080p as a bunch of the programs I was installing didn't use/like the high dpi setting. Will be playing around with other resolutions to see what looks good.

 

The UHD has four times as many pixels to light up than the FHD version, so the battery drain from the screen should be about four times what it is on the FHD model. Assuming the screen is about 50% of the battery drain, that's quite a large hit on battery life to be expected.

Do you have a means to measure the colour space coverage and brightness of the screen? I'd like to know how it compares to the FHD display panel.

 

I've watched it many times, and tried squeezing the same part, but I don't notice anything.

 

I get that the UHD was going to use more power but I was hoping for a bit more battery. Ah well I am rarely someplace wher eI don't have access to power, at least when I would need this much CPU/GPU.

I do not have anyway to measure the color space and brightness. I can say the screen gets plenty bright enough so that the fluorescent lights at work aren't an issue.

 

intend to order it today.Can u send us some technical stuff through dxdiag or speccy?

 

I'd like to know that too.sadly missed the $100 off coupon..any other coupons that work?

 

2 hours does seem a bit on the low side, I would've expected around 4 hours or so with the UHD panel.

 

I feel you. They said only $50 off is the only coupon left. T_T

Read this first http://www.skytopia.com/project/articles/lux.html.

Firstly my Sony Vaio Flip 15 scores 260 nits from Mobiletechreview's review on youtube. Subjectively I can tell you the Dell UHD screen is slightly duller than this, see here (Dell on the right):

https://www.dropbox.com/s/b2b8vrnsbxsk2i8/IMG_20151024_203312.jpg?dl=0

I would therefore estimate it's around 230-250 nits (and poorer white balance as the photo clearly shows).

Now going back to my link, you're referring to Lux, whereas it's my understanding you typically measure monitor brightness in nits, so unless you meant nits, we need to convert, as Lux is a function of intensity, screen size and distance from which you're viewing the screen.

Having said that 500 nits would be extremely bright (my Dell UltraSharp U2713HM achieves about 325 nits (cd/m^2) at full brightness and this was a £600+ 1440p professional monitor (and lights up the whole room when the lights are out...it's seriously bright!).

My perception is that the monitor has good colour depth, average at best brightness, and relatively poor white balance (but only of relevance to professional users). It's a passable screen but I had hoped for more.

 

Thank you very much but i am specifically interested in the ram specs.I am on a tight budget.I am very stuck now whether ram latency are good or I have to buy new memory.If they are not good enough i might go for Asus Rog 552 with ddr4.

 

Laptop just shipped from Amazon, order was place on Oct 3rd, will take a few days to get here.. got the SSD version..

 

My measurements were in Lux, 500 nits would be unreal. I didn't have any tools to measure it in nits, so I did the best I could with what I had.

Once I can, I'll get the measurements in nits. The relative difference is still large though, when comparing the Dell screen to the LG on the Clevo.

That's pretty much my assessment of the FHD panel. Passable given the cost of the machine, but quite poor in relation to what I expected and what other brands are offering.

 

Given what this laptop is, what it cost and what I assume most people would use it for, I'm pretty sure that RAM latency is irrelevant.

And if you're concerned with RAM latency, DDR4 latency is even worse, most of it is CL15+.

 

Well I wrote with the dell support today. They said the loose touchpad is "normal" and the rattle is a subjective point of view.
