The Best Gaming
Laptop Under $1000 (2017) #Helpful Post
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 are paired with eight
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
two
camps either they're 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
not 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
so we're rocking a 15.6 inch
1080p
display however what's special is
on
the inside as 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 but even if
there's
another 50 or $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
that
is not bad so in addition to the
standard
2 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
a
lot more bass it's a much punchy sound
that
I'm used to the keyboard is decent
so
I would say it's a little bit on the
mushy
side of things but the layout is
nice
you do have that full number Oh 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 while it does have dual
microphones
the video quality just isn't
that
green fine for a quick video call
but
not 256
gigabyte
SSD so one of the 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
error 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
that
1050 Ti 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 256 gigabytes so
it's
a SATA Drive so you should expect
any
kind of crazy speed but here we're
getting
about 400 on the read and about
330
megabytes on the right it might not
be
the fastest thing in the world but
it's
going to be a lot better than any
of
the hard drive models so there are
multiple
configurations of this guy so
this
is the mid spec model if 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 if you 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
really not going to be getting a
lot
more performance so with a single
screw
we can 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 gigs 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 a hard
drive
but 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 normal SSD but
as
you can see it's a lot smaller
does
give us that full drive Bay it's
actually
a pretty clean layout here you
can
see the duel fans with the heat pipe
between
the CPU and GPU the 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's this easy to work on there
is
a lot to like with the Inspiron $450
it
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
definitely
be sure to let me know in the
comments
below and I will catch you on
the
next one
