Review on Dell 15 7590 with Intel Core i7 9750H Processor and a Bright 400 Nits Display by Janis Ziemelis ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Best I have ever used, great product for anyone!

First of all, I would like to note that my model (i7 9750H / GTX 1650 4 GB / 16 GB RAM / Full HD) shamelessly rose in price due to the collapse of the crisis, I managed to buy it even before all this, and then, gritting my teeth, for 120 This price is still + - normal, but 150 how much it costs now - too much. If this is your first laptop for studying architecture, then I want to warn you right away that for reasonable money (less than 150) you will not find a laptop that will absolutely not lag in all professional programs (for me it was a discovery). A feature of the keyboard backlight is that it goes out after about 5-10 seconds if you are not using the keyboard at the moment, only the mouse, it turns on automatically if you swipe the touchpad or press any key. Also, the features include the combined keys Page Up, Page Down, Home and End with the top, bottom, left and right arrows, respectively. To be honest, I still do not know how to activate them, because they are needed (combinations with Fn and Ctrl do not work), so if you know how, write in the comments :) + If your laptop is connected to a power outlet, then there are no complaints at all - I run Word, Excel, Adobe Acrobat, a browser with 15 tabs, Revit and AutoCAD / Photoshop at the same time and everything works quickly. With 3d max, such tricks will no longer work, so that it does not slow down, I either close everything, or leave only the browser. There was an experience of modeling the exterior: a heavy scene with trees and grass + a building, the trees had to be unloaded in a proxy model, because the laptop was very hard. Rendering the interior up to 3 percent noise takes 4-5 hours, the exterior (complex) to the same 3 percent noise - 10-13 hours. + The screen is super - juicy colors, a large range of brightness control. My classmate has a similar model, but with a 4k screen, I personally don’t like it - it’s glossy and my eyes get very tired of such detail. In general, I am very satisfied with the laptop and definitely recommend it for purchase, even with all the nuances.

Pros
  • I bought this laptop almost a year ago, I want to share my experience of using it as an architecture student, I think it can be useful to many, because I didn’t have enough such reviews before buying :) You can read about the characteristics in detail in other reviews. + - I like the metal case, a practical and beautiful solution. But it tends to scratch, I discovered this after I once took it to the university in a bag without a cover, there was a slight wear from systematic contact with the zipper. So wear - only in a case if you want to keep a neat look. + The weight of the laptop itself is, let's say, light compared to the rest (I tried it with my classmates), but it's hard to carry it with you all day with the charging block. And if you have some other notebooks and textbooks with you, it is even more difficult. And it's easier to carry in a backpack than in a bag. But there are no options here - this is almost the lightest laptop on the market that I found with the characteristics I needed. + - The battery life is really impressive, but here you need to make a reservation - it will work for the declared 16 hours if you set the battery power mode to "Save charge", i. E. the frequency of the processor is greatly reduced. You can safely work in Word, Excel and scroll the browser in this mode, but you won’t be able to work comfortably in Revit, 3D Max, Photoshop, you need a power mode of at least "Optimal Performance". + I like the keyboard, the keys are pressed with a little effort, enough to avoid accidental typing of neighboring characters, but not so strong that you somehow notice it and get tired of it. "Perfect balance" as they say. + The touchpad is made of nice plastic, the finger glides over it as if on ice (in a good way), if there is no way to connect a mouse, it does an excellent job with basic tasks such as scrolling, clicking and gestures, but not in professional programs like Revit and AutoCAD, in them without a mouse. Some points did not fit, continued in the comments.
Cons
  • - The plastic inside, of course, is not 10/10, it collects prints a lot, to erase them, I use a dry microfiber cloth, making an effort, because it is matte, but these are trifles, I think. - Lack of NumPad, sometimes it really is not enough, especially if you need to score a million calculations in the coursework, but over time you come to terms with this drawback. - I saw in some reviews that the laptop sometimes does not wake up and does not respond at all to pressing and trying to wake it up, and so, I confirm, this really happens, but it comes to life after a minute or two. - Recently, something incomprehensible happened - while working on a laptop, it hung tightly, the cursor did not move, did not respond at all, only the backlight that reacted to touching the touchpad signaled that it was alive. I waited 5 minutes - nothing happened, I had to do an emergency reboot. I hope this will not happen again (this was the first time), because I did not save the changes in the coursework for the last 2 hours, it was a shame :(
