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

Revainrating 3 out of 5

It's not quite what I expected, overall it's ok.

Whoever can cope with the driver selection quest will get a good working car, whoever does not, either does not encounter problems, or they do not bother, or will suffer. I was able to set up a normally working machine for myself, which I was pleased with, but the laptop does not give a reason to relax and presents unpleasant surprises, so I do not recommend buying it. I didn't have that many problems with my old asus.

Pros
  • Very good performance on my tasks: project assembly, UI layouts, etc. I bought a modification of i7 + 32GB of RAM + 512SSD + FullHD. For 15" 4K it's redundant, IPS is more than enough for work, I use it in tandem with a 27" 4K monitor. Good network speed, but there are nuances. Judging by the data, it is possible to finish the memory up to 64GB, which I will try to do a little later (it costs 32GB and there is still a free slot). The cooling system is practically inaudible, only sometimes it wakes up on heavy tasks. Almost excellent build quality and screen. According to statistics, the average temperature of the CPU is 65˚, SSD - 35˚, maximum CPU - 85˚, SSD - 40˚.
Cons
  • Killer Control Center did not start - it says the service is not running, but the data transfer speed is good, scored on attempts to start. I tried to connect a Dell 4k monitor for a long time: I was able to show 60Hz via HDMI, but there were problems with colors and exiting sleep mode, I connected it via a DA300 adapter. The same DisplayPort adapter was able to produce 4K only at 30Hz, which did not suit me at all. After buying a Dell Type-C -> Display Port adapter, the monitor worked in 4k@60Hz mode and everything was fine :) There were also problems with sound drivers - only one version normally switches sound from speakers to headphones, the rest simply do not perceive the fact that headphones are connected. But after a while it finally stopped switching, I installed drivers from Microsoft, lost the ability to set up sound effects, but switching headphones worked (this is more important to me because the built-in speakers are terrible and no effects will save them). In general, Dell drivers are a sad, heartbreaking sight: instead of sleep, the laptop went into hibernate due to one driver, but we managed to find the right version. The Intel video card driver had to be replaced with the version from the Intel website, not the Dell one. Modern sleep is just a huge minus, it drains more than 5% of the battery in 3 hours and goes into hibernate. After the holidays, I turned on the laptop for the first time and noticed that the frame around the screen began to peel off, so I lower the rating for build quality.
