    Sad review

  2. zhang leo says

    I need a real review. Cheaters

  3. CoolHandLuke says

    Wish I hadn't bought my MSI GS65 (the 1070 varient). I got in December and the display is a joke! Upgraded from a 2012 MacBook Pro and the display is actually better on the 7 year older Mac! Ridiculous for £2400 😾😾😾 It's just such a dim display, 300 nits, realistically getting 270. Sorry just bitching, and to warn others to really look into your display options, 7 years of technological advancements aren't enough to ensure a better display. I checked everything else of course and everything else is better but not the display. Big boo for MSI, my most treasured and hated laptop 😋 it's so expensive but so shit. Agh. Rant complete. What's this, Oled 🤤🤤🤤 no money left 😭😭😭

  4. Suzumebachi says

    So no hands on ? Fuck off.

  5. stevenswall says

    What is the refresh rate on this? I hope manufacturers move on from 60hz standard and go for 90hz.

  6. Shank Adams says

    HEY ASS,ITS NOT A REVIEW

  7. Prithvi Vasishth says

    Oled should definitely increase battery life.

  8. XxMsrSzprzxX says

    Does Windows have system-wide colour management yet?

  9. lenard ggor says

    I gonna pass on this and keep my 9560 4k IPS

  10. Stefan Modigh says

    I hope they fixed the coil whine issue, wifi disconnecting randomly, poping audio

  11. F L says

    3:10 damn i thought the LED 4K would come down in price due to the OLED starting at 1899 :/

  12. flamehiro says

    Rather have a really nice led screen with local dimming and alot of zones.

  13. Michael Gilmen says

    lying may only help short term, but absolutely hurt long term

  14. SOUVIK SAMANTA says

    need some Wifi 6 speed test and Adobe Pr test and OLED 4K resolution test video

  15. Rolando Quezada says

    I want it in OLED.

  16. 8strings says

    Thank you so much, including 'underlining' your 'review' with a jingle. No contemporary vlog is now deemed to be complete without some kind of weird soundtrack

  17. Andrew Morris says

    Did this OLED panel look color calibrated?

  18. Tor Hunemark says

    How long until you start to notice burn-in if used as an office computer?

  19. MyUTF4 says

    Same chassis and design?

  20. Doomsday Gaming says

    WTF??? OLED is not TOUCH?
    Dell do you want us to live?

  21. S G says

    Looks like OLED would perform better in bright sunlight outside than ultrasharp display even though OLED is 400nits and Ultrasharp is 500nits. What's your thoughts and opinions. I've always purchased touch screen even though I've never used it. Seems it may be better to get OLED display so long as it's very good outside…

    Seems OLED is better in your video in handling reflections on screen…

  22. Ruel Celerio says

    He likes to sing-song. A lot.

  23. Kaeside Iwuagwu says

    Xps 15 2019 oled vs thinkpad x1 extreme 2019 oled. With an emphasis on stress testing the batteries because they've both posted misleading reports

  24. llama SHORTS says

    Well… If nothing has changed on the chassis, likely nothing has changed on the cooling side either… Was hoping for a redesign that really made this laptop able to push the limits of what it was capable of since it failed so badly with the i9 8950HK throttling…

    Also the lack of the GTX 1660 Ti maxQ… The 1650 will likely be very similar in performance to the 1060 it came with last year.

    Also why aren't we getting the white/rosegold option here like we have with the XPS 13?

    Also that's a little strange that the 4k OLED doesn't have touch screen ..come on Dell, show us what you can really do 🙂

  25. Allen A says

    fuck ooff i dont want to see dell shittops or shitbooks

  26. Vishnu Kanth says

    Is that bald guy at 0:12 from PCworld

  27. Corto Clic says

    I want that laptop so bad!! is way more better than apple´s MacBook, Dell is doing a great job for content creators!!

  28. Aaron Johnson says

    Waiting for a RED version.

  29. João Fernandes says

    Do the majority of the market is a "content creator"? Why do reviewers talk so much about them? It's like they do reviews for themselves…

  30. WR4P-TP PSN says

    Ultimate permanent burn experience. LoL

  31. JB says

    What are the full specs for the $1000 version?

  32. Payhole Everdouche says

    I much prefer Oled's half Svvedish Brother…Olaf…!!!

  33. David Glass says

    I really wish people would stop calling hands on previews reviews. It's very misleading. I get your just trying to get the CTR up but common, stop lying.

  34. Brandon Tseng says

    Razer Blade 15” 2019 OLED 4K vs Dell XPS 15” 2019 4K OLED

  35. Anonymous Troll says

    Only Samsung can make LEDs look like OLED. They have mastered the art of display technology.

    Btw who is the vendor of that OLED?

  36. JollyJeepers says

    I'm more hyped that the webcam is back on top

  37. Mostwanted says

    Can you just make OLED mandatory , set the bar so to speak , dell being more expensive but superior to everything else, like the old apple

  38. Lord Katakuri says

    This looks promising
