hey guys this is Austin this just might be the best gaming laptop that you can buy for less than a thousand dollars when it comes to laptops that are meant for gaming and they are usually one of you camp either the really cheap and usually don't have either any dedicated graphics or pretty bad ones or they're incredibly expensive huge thick and heavy but I think this actually is a sort of nice blend of the two so this is the Dell Inspiron 75-67 yo this is a fishing net a bad looking laptop now if red is a little bit too much for you you can't actually get it in black but that stands out so open it up and you will see that it's a little bit of a bigger laptop to rocking a 15.6 inch 1080p display however what's special is on the inside not only is this rocking a cable a core i5 quad-core processor it's also got dedicated gtx 1050 TI graphics before we get too far into it though let's see what else we get in the box which doesn't really seem like much we pretty much just get a power cable in the box well that's not a really big deal because this has pretty much everything we need built in so unlike most laptops these days we actually get full-sized USB ports there's also HDMI there's Ethernet this is absolutely a gaming laptop now sure it's a little bit big and a little bit heavy but considering what we're getting inside it's not crazy so now that we're up and running with the Inspiron there are a few things that jump out to me and the first is the screen it's not great so it is at least 1080p but the issue is is that not only are the colors sort of mediocre but it is a very very narrow sort of viewing angle so if I get in just the right spot it looks fine but all it takes is moving it just a little bit farther and the entire thing washes out it reminds me of a much cheaper laptop and while yes this is definitely a laptop that is made to a budget right so they put pretty much all the money into stuff like the CPU the GPU the SSD which is not a crazy call what do you think there's another 50 $100 upgrade to get a better screen I would absolutely take it it's fine it's usable but it's not great hey guys often this computer a little bit different that is not bad so in addition to the standard two speakers on the inspiron there's actually a dedicated subwoofer so it's sort of right down here below the palm rest and it's a surprisingly loud and rich sound for a laptop it's kind of rare to have a sub but it really does give you a lot more definition and a lot more bass it's much punchy ER sound that I'm used to the keyboard is decent so it's a it's a little bit on the mushy side of things but the layout is nice you do have that full number o on the side and it's also backlit now it might not be winning any awards but this is completely usable the webcam isn't too special so it's 720p and while it does have dual microphones the videos holy just isn't that great fine for a quick video call but not for much more than that the tripod is also completely fine so supports multi-touch the tracking is reasonably accurate but honestly a lot of this stuff isn't really all that exciting what really separates the inspiron for most other laptops in this price category is the performance inside the inspiron it's rocking a quad-core intel core i5 7300 HQ nvidia gtx 1050 TI graphics and those appeared with 8 gigabytes of memory as well as a 256 gigabyte SSD so a lot of games I wanted to try is GTA 5 now well this might be a slightly older title it can still be pretty taxing as you can see here at 1080p Ultra settings we're getting anywhere between 40 to 50 frames per second next we have overwatch I think this is a good example of a game that runs really well on the Inspiron so the Tim 50 T I might not be able to handle 4k gaming but a 1080p ultra we're getting a really solid 70 frames per second this is the only model of the Inspiron that comes with pure SSD storage in this case 2 or 56 gigabytes so it's a SATA Drive so you shouldn't expect any kind of crazy speeds but here we're getting about 400 on there we and about 330 megabytes on the right it might not be the size missing in the world but it's going to be a lot better than any of the hard drive model so there are multiple configurations of this guy so this is the mid spec model but you want to save a little bit of money you can drop it down to GTX 1050 graphics and a one terabyte hard drive or want to upgrade it you can throw some things in like a core i7 but really I feel like this is the sort of sweet spot as the other models get well over $1000 and you're going to be getting a lot more performance so with a single screw we could take off the bottom of the laptop there is actually a lot of room for upgrades here so as far as memory goes we have eight in here right now but you can easily bump that up to 16 or 32 gigs there's a completely open two and a half inch drive bay so here if you want you can put in not only that hard drive and an SSD whatever you want to get some additional storage over here we have the m2 SATA Drive so it won't really be any faster than a normal SSD as you can see it's a lot smaller and it does give us that full drive bay essentially a pretty clean layout here you can see the dual fans with a heat pipe between the CPU and GPU via the subwoofer is actually surprisingly big it takes up a lot of room and of course we have the battery here too which looks super easy to remove I've got to say it's been a while since I've opened up a laptop that is this easy to work on there is a lot to like with the Inspiron for $150 and makes it so a gaming or editing laptop and while the screen can be better there's really not a lot to complain about so what do you guys think every be sure to let me know in the comments below and I will catch you on the next one
