you Eber you know what's exciting UPS truck you never know what's exciting or a gaming notebook under eight hundred fifty dollars that is actually worth it now they're just pretending man well these guys aren't find out why right after this ninja coolermaster master keys keyboard line-up is now available and three sizes to fit within your space with large medium and small boards with either beautiful RGB or pure white LED illumination a little something for everyone make it yours with the master keys Pro by Cooler Master so what's up guys I'm Dimitri with our connection today we're reviewing or comparing two very exciting notebooks the Dell Inspiron 15 7000 the new version and the Acer VX 15 let's get started so first let's start with the price the Acer costs $7.99 and the Dell at 850 us the difference in price is not too much but the high price on the Dell is warranted with a better GPU and overall more elegant body but the Acer has a few advantages I believe that make it it's solid alternative and it's finally safe to say that powerful gaming notebooks are available for the mainstream because both machines feature a pretty decent I 5 CPU that goes up to 3.5 gigahertz it is not hyper threaded but it has four cores there's a gigabytes of RAM that is upgradeable to 32 gigabytes and the storage is limited that I would say is the weakest point on both computers you can either have an SSD or a hard drive but not a combination of both when choosing your configuration for GPU the Acer has a gtx 1050 and a gtx 1050 TI on the dell aligning gaming performance to much more expensive units like the XPS 15 but at a much lower price the dell machine also has a bigger battery and both have a pretty compact battery bank to the screen is 1080p at 60 Hertz on both machines they are matte displays but Acer takes to win easy with an IPS panel that looks great when compared to the dell which is equipped for the TN panel that loses contrast and just shift colors with any slight angle change it's absolutely terrible and this is the worst cost-cutting decision they've made and choosing an IPS option is a $50 premium that is totally needed otherwise Sheen is not really worth it with the default garbage panel both machines exhibit some screenflex but the Acer feels a little bit better with a stiffer shell but I preferred the hinge mechanism on the Dell but smooth one hand opening whereas the hinge on the Acer is a bit stiffer and picks up the bass when you open the screen it's fine but not as good as a Dell and I was talking about form and design between these two machines and they look quite different so let us know what you prefer I definitely love the Dell more because of this beautiful red body which is quite loud but it's not obnoxious in any way with very nice smooth and rubbery surface with these great accents in the back that manages to hide finger marks very well the ventilation ports at the rear are pretty awesome-looking with nice grill design in the front as well and overall it's one of the prettiest gaming notebooks around that is a mix of gaming and business casual it is also available in black by the way the interior is matte black that requires a little bit of cleaning after handling but the surface finish here is cohesive with the overall exterior design the AC on the other hand feels more traditionally gaming with design with minor red accents on the lid and with this brushed plastic which looks okay but it's graduates easily and it also picks up finger marks so you got to clean that often the exhaust vents are styled to complement a more angular structure of the whole body and I actually don't mind the full appearance it looks gay Marie but preserved you know a little bit simple - when it comes to upgradability the Dell is extremely simple one screw on the panel to access the bottom where you have to Ram slots one and two slots and one empty two and a half inch slot that you can upgrade right away from more storage capacity it's not the most space efficient layout as you can see but it works very well and I love how you can access without voiding your warranty I'm grading the Acer on the other hand you have to remove 14 screws that is 13 to many in order to access the dual Ram slots and the m-dot two drives so basically it is all the same thing as on the Dell but here you need to request the two and a half inch bracket and the cable from Acer in order to add your own storage in this blanket of empty space it's inconvenient but it's free of charge I will leave a link in description for that request page but it's good that ASA recognized the air and are compensating it with this free bracket both keyboards are backlit with red illumination and the slightly deeper body on the Dell gives a more comfortable typing experience with smoother edges while it's still good on the Acer but the edges are a little bit sharper the keyboard differences however are pretty significant despite having a similar thickness profile the Acer keyboard lights off the walls area better have excellent travel distance and just feel awesome when the keys bottomed out for example there's slight softness that feels really satisfying when typing fast the Dell keyboard in comparison is so disappointing with less travel distance the activation point seems to vary between the keys and the transparent nature of the red lettering on the keys means poor visibility and I mean really poor in well-lit spaces the Acer keyboards wins major points here the trackpad on the V x-15 is also better with smoother surface feels very much like glass but the built-in buttons are not so good to use the Dell trackpad on the other hand has dedicated buttons which are great but the surface doesn't have a nice texture for precise movements you win some and you lose some apparently poor selection is decent on both machines with SD card reader headphone / Mike combo jack three years B ports Ethernet and HDMI plus the Acer has a USB type-c gen one port that is super convenient and impressive on an $800 machine the speaker placement is different here bass is not very evident on either but the Dell is louder and offers better projection with cleaner detail let's have a listen so let's now get into the bread and butter the meat and potatoes of these two notebooks gaming performance and general benchmarks now we know that Dell has a better GPU but how does that impact frame rates and the general productivity aspect so let's get into that so first for CPU tests all of these are basically identical because they should be they're using the same CPU very respectable results on a notebook at this price point both SSDs also perform in proximity of each other with slightly better memory results on the Dell machine but when we get into the GPU benchmarks this is where that better 1050 Ti really shows the full potential and the Dell notebook distances itself quite far from Acer the difference in performance is actually pretty significant on these frame rates and on average you get around 19 percent better score in games on the Dell for only that 50 dollar premium temperatures on both machines were also very comfortable slightly harder on Acer but not by much with much quieter operation though so both machines have fantastic cooling layout to not compromise on the acoustics the battery life on the Dell is significantly better for work scenarios clocking over 4 hours thanks to that larger battery and over an hour for gaming which is not bad at all and so for conclusion this comparison between these two notebooks perfectly highlights the nature of the current notebook space as so many elements are just inconsistent between brands but both machines offer great value for performance with many proper elements like super easy upgrade ability on the Dell find cooling on both the keyboard is fantastic on the Acer the Inspiron looks better the vxf team has better default display and the 1050 TI is about 20% faster versus the GTX 1050 so both machines bring such a refresh to the market because of that sub $850 price point and we're giving them the harbor connects damn good value award because 1080p highest settings gaming is finally mainstream and achieved with affordable machines we have exclusive discounts for the Graham spectrum keyboard by Tesoro it has new agile switches
