Seems like most people prefer the Dell Inspiron 24 7000 over Dell Inspiron 15 7000 or Dell Venue 8 7000.

i would prefer Dell Inspiron 24 7000 since it has Intel RealSense 3D camera and Windows 10 Hello. the others dun have. for laptop i would prefer other brands like asus etc.

if given a choice, i would take Dell Venue 8 7000. an android tablet with Intel RealSense 3D Camera. a combination of a thin and beautiful design, excellent build quality, long battery life and a stunning screen.

i dun think Dell Venue 8 7000 has Windows 10 Hello. another choice would be Dell Inspiron 24 7000 as i can use it to play games with hand motions using Intel RealSense 3D Camera and Windows 10 Hello.

I would take the Dell Inspirion 15 7000 laptop. It would be great for gaming, just a pity no Intel RealSense.

Dell Inspirion 15 7000 has the 4k UHD Touchscreen included. You can choose to opt out of it though. But nobody will want to unless it provides marginal savings for long battery life. :s13:

Anyway it seems that the Red back cover is limited to the FHD screen only. Black black cover has both according to their website.

Make sure you check carefully before your purchase! Dont blindly select red colour because its nice~!

Is it an error? How come all the Inspirion 15 7000 variants same price but screen might be different.

having two fans always better than one fan as it will cool down your laptop better and too much heat will degrade your electronic parts/battery

According to one actual buyer's review, the temperatures around critical mainly used keyboard buttons is still fine but not so good in some other parts. And the fans are running loud, but fortunately not high-pitched:

The CPU doesn’t really get any hotter than other competing notebooks, but the GPU does. For a machine with three heatsinks and three shared heat pipes to allow a GTX 960M to reach above 70C on a mild game like Diablo 3 is disappointing. For comparisons’ sake, a Clevo P650SE with a GTX 970M (a much more powerful GPU) keeps its GPU at 65C or below in the same game.

When running the Unigine Valley benchmark, the GPU hit 76C. A Clevo W230SD, running the same GPU, hit 68C in that same test. To put that into perspective, the W230SD is a 13.3” machine with a single heatsink/fan to cool both the GPU and CPU. In fact, in most games tested (including demanding titles such as Crysis 3 and Dragon Age Inquisition), the W230SD kept its 960M cooler than the Inspiron 7559 does running the comparatively simple Diablo 3.

Additionally, the keyboard temps under load got much toastier. I recorded a high of 46C in the top-centre of the keyboard (around the number 8-9 keys), and that was very uncomfortable to touch. However, the area around the WASD keys stayed under 35C, so for most games, it isn’t too bad at all.

The noise under load is loud, but if you’re using a headset it won’t bother you. It isn’t a high-pitched whining noise, just the sound of fans pushing air.

Oh, all these temperatures were AFTER I used XTU to undervolt the CPU by around -50mV.

Overall, while the temperature/noise levels aren’t horrible, they’re worse than I expected given the cooling solution Dell put in, and given how smaller notebooks with similar specs and less fans/heatsinks do a better job.

All temperature readings are in degrees Celcius at an ambient temp of around 22C.

Can use the Intel RealSense Technology also for unlocking your car.

They use the depth camera to extract your facial contours and features to unlock your PC. Can implement in car in the same manner.

But probably also can add safeguards in place to ensure you wont be locked out. maybe some motion, face, hand waving as password like how u unlock your android device using pattern unlock.

I wonder how secure it is. Someone might use a 3D scanner to scan your face and print a 3D face mask (like in Mission Impossible 4 :D)to unlock your car!

Same like some here, i don't think i will invest in 4k for the captivating experience now where the content are limited. If i buy, i think i prefer to have it for tv than pc/lappy. But the dell Inspiron 15 7000 specs seems not bad, will be good if it comes with realsense 3D camera.

Not a gamer but is there any games in 4k now? Does Oculus Rift support 4k also. Seems a bit over to buy such high end display for gaming?

There are some games in 4K like Call of Duty-Advanced Warfare, The Witcher 3, Assetto Corsa (racing) etc...

Even twins also cannot make it! :eek:

The heat sensor means Windows Hello is not open to this kind of manipulation, and the results were impressive. “In the end, there were some cases of Windows Hello taking its time to identify a twin, but no case of it wrongly granting access. That’s a win for Intel and Microsoft,” wrote Chris Griffen.

Microsoft claims that the false acceptance rate for its facial recognition is less than one in 100,000. If even identical twins can’t beat the system, then it looks like hackers will need more than clever make-up to fool Windows 10.

Of course, not all computers support it so, if you don’t have a camera that’s up to the challenge, you’re stuck with passwords. Just make sure you pick a good one to keep hackers – or evil twins – at bay.

Ya. At the end of the day is just computer graphics.

I probably wait for a longer period before getting into the 4k bandwagon.. Heard 5k comme out.. As well

Now is 8K UHD (4320p) which is even better than 4K UHD (2160p). :eek:

I prefer notebook for portability but both the Dell Inspiron 24 7000 and Dell Inspiron 15 7000 doesnt impress me

The Dell Inspiron 15 7000 hardware is not bad, good enough for average usage, the plus point is its 4K UHD touchscreen.

Those laptop that come with Intel Realsense Technology might be too new for me..=:p

The Inspirion 15 7000 comes with 6th Generation Intel® Core™ i7-6700HQ Processor and Windows 10 and with the NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 960M 4GB GDDR5 with 4K UHD Touchscreen at a competitive price of $1,899 , it will definitely perform better than the other laptop in the car racing game.

How much does it cost to replace the Dell Inspiron 15 7000 4K display?

It costed 550+ for my Asus one... :(

Yes the Dell Inspiron 15 7000 is over 2kg, not that portable.
And the screen size is 15.6", makes it quite big size for carrying everywhere. It is maybe good for a desktop replacement.

What is the lightest one (that is probably lighter) than the Dell Inspiron 15 7000 and has 15.6"?

Thanks for the info, you eagle eyes. :D

The reason why people will chose this Dell Inspiron 15 7000 is because of the 4k UHD Touchscreen, its hardware spec also good enough for teenagers to do their school project works plus occasionally can play 4K gaming and watch some 4K UHD movies. ;)

then have to implement fingerprint scan. there is no way someone can copy your fingerprint.

best to get Dell Inspiron 24 7000 as it comes with Intel RealSense 3D Camera with Windows 10 Hello. youngsters nowadays like to make youtube videos so this is best for them. wonder if Dell Inspiron 24 7000 can switch to 4K screen.

Never owned a touchscreen laptop before, wonder if the Dell Inspirion 15 7000's screen is a fingerprint magnet?

Based on my current requirements, i would choose Dell Venue 8 7000 or Dell Inspiron 15 7000.

The Intel RealSense with Windows Hello doesnt really appeal to me since im already using WOL magic packet to wake my PC when my mobile phone gets connected to home Wifi using Tasker.

Dell Venue 8 is tablet, so I wouldnt mind having an extra device which I dont own. It can take depth photos with distance so I guess thats an extra plus point to me.

For Dell Inspiron 15 7000, I dont have a laptop for school and admittedly it is quite troublesome when i appear emptyhanded when meeting for projects.

:o

Higher chance you will win a Dell XPS 13 form this contest. :)
