>>52067205
whats with the keyboard?
>>
>>52067205
Only problem is that the inspirons are built poorly. You're kinda rolling the dice on whether or not it's going to have physical problems in like a year or two.

Specs-wise though, looks great. I'd replace the storage with an SSD though. I've found those hybrid drives to fail very often.
>>
>>52067508
You were never the bright kid, right?
>>
>>52067508
its see through so you can look at the fans in inside anon

It's actually "OK" for the price can't be sure about the build quality
Don't expect much from the 960m though

Preview for the cooling system

>>52067546
>>52067556
I LOL'd
>>
>>52067533
How much time should I expect it to last ? and would it last less than an SSD ?
>>
>>52067672
>256 GB SSD
>Wireless A/C
Sounds better, I don't trust SSDs though, the performance gain, doesn't forgive the fail rate
>>
>>52067761
>The fail rate

you mean the fail rate that is better than HDD at this point?
>>
>>52067709
Not nearly as long as an SSD. I bought a 500GB 840 pro and put it in my laptop in early 2013 and it's still going strong. I worked in a tech repair shop and I can't tell you how many failed hybrid drives I've had to take out, and they're not even common.
>>52067761
SSDs do not fail often, and they give a considerable performance increase. The "SSDs aren't worth it" meme is just that, a meme. They got bad reputations because there are dirt cheap kingston/crucial/etc. SSDs that fail really quickly because they're cheap; you get what you pay for.
>>
The 960m is anemic as fuck for 4k, and relatively weak for 1080p. But its a laptop. You could play older games while traveling... Don't use it as a main computer tho. Get a desktop if you don't have one already.
>>
>>52067833
I'll take your word for it, thanks a lot, I'll consider the SSD then
>>
>>52067205
I've been eyeing it too op, it's pretty decent bang for the buck

Not to mention that empty 2.5" Bay and extra ram slot, it's pretty good, just don't expect top tier next gen triple a titles to run smoothly
>>
>>52067847
No I don't have one, I've had a SONY VAIO for five and a half now, but I've grown tired of it.
I'm paying that much for a laptop, as a replacement for my dear vaio
>>
>>52067889

You should build a $600 desktop, it will destroy this laptop in performance, and buy a cheap used business laptop for like $100-200.
>>
>>52067887
What empty 2.5" bay ?
And I'm not expecting a to max GTA5 for with a laptop graphics card
>>
>>52067914
I can't take a desktop to work mate, and meet my freelance clients
>>
>>52067205
i got the inspirion 7559 for christmas, other than windows 10 seems pretty okay thus far
>>
>>52067205
>Best laptop for around $800
not really
>i5/i7 6th gen
dual core
>NVidia GTX 960M (4GB)
muh gb, mid tier
>8GB RAM
>1TB HDD + 8GB SSD Cache
my 4yo notebook have more than that
>Dell Inspiron
enjoy your shit materials and planned obsolesce

better get a used E6440
>>
>>52067958
> used E6440

which still sells for way more than this.
>>
>>52067958
It's Quad Core
Not mid tier for a laptop, believe me, I checked
Your notebook doesn't matter in my case
Everything is gonna be obsolete now or later
>>
>>52067958
>>52067986
http://www.dell.com/us/business/p/latitude-e6440-laptop/pd
Costs more for less specs, and looks bulky as fuck
>>
>>52067958
My 8 year old inspiron and my dad's 9 year old inspiron run like champs and are sound as fuck.

Don't know how new ones are built though.
>>
>>52067986
>>52068019
its 400-500$ used, have premium materials and it's very compact at 14

>>52067999
>Everything is gonna be obsolete now or later
>he dont know about planned obsolesce
good luck with your throttle
>>
>>52068102
Teach me master

PS. don't want the Latitude to be honest, I want to game from time to time
>>
>>52067570
960m is fine for anyone who has realistic standards for what a laptop can do when it comes to games
>>
Would the OP laptop be able to run rust smoothly? Blade & Soul?
>>
>>52071883
OP here, if I ever did buy it, I'll make sure to post about it here on /g/
>>
>>52070583
/g/ doesn't know what realistic means, either 60fps+ at 1080p or it's a no go
>>
>>52067205
why the fuck would I want fans instead of a keyboard?
>>
>>52072828
OP here, it's really hot here in the summer, so I'd love to have a run in my laptop to keep me cool, a'd protect my skin from the heat
>>
>>52072918
wouldn't the fans cut you when you tried to type though?
>>
>>52067205
Get a dell dude
>>
>>52072949
No, the buttons left are just for some shotcuts for when you don't want to say commands outloud, if you didn't get it yet, it uses voice commands to do shit like kill the dude on the right corner behind the bus, noo not that bus, the red one, and it points to it and shoots, all with your voice
>>
>>52072980
The one in the pic looks like a dell to me, I'm getting it as soon as I can
>>
>>52073056
that sounds pretty sweet, but don't the fans interfere with the mic if they run too fast and get all loud and shit?
>>
>>52067761
>I don't trust SSDs though, the performance gain, doesn't forgive the fail rate
Fuck off WD
>>
>>52073116
That's why they put two giant fans and put them upfront, so they'd never have to reach max speeds, they're really quiet as far as I know.
Dell really outsmarted other manufacturers here, your move Apple !!
>>
>>52073194
Hahaha, I just bought a 3TB External HDD for $99, how did you know ?
(I'm looking for a PC with an SSD now, so don't worry, I'll keep you satisified)
>>
I bought an inspiron a couple years back and the hard disc broke within a couple months.
>>
>>52073262
What do you mean by "broke" ?
Just died and stoped working, or actually something broke ?
A comment saying that Inpirons are poorly built made me anctious
>>
>>52073308
It just up and stopped working.
Was on it one night before bed, and when I got up in the morning the lights on the side turned on and it made a lot of noise but wouldn't boot up.
>>
>>52073361
Well, as they say, shit happens
>>
>>52072603
I keep those standards too. I just don't expect to play games like Crysis 3 on laptops like some retards.
>>
>>52074912
You could actually play Crysis 3 pretty comfortably on this laptop with decent settings and framerate. The Crysis games aren't a crazy benchmark anymore
>>
>>52067917
You can put an extra ssd in there along with the hard drive.
