Inspiron vs Inspiron

[EmHo]

My current Asus X553MA screen is messed up (and also trash) so I'm looking for a replacement. I'm strongly considering the Dell Inspiron Gaming but am having a tough time deciding between last years and this years models.

These configs are the two I like because both are currently on sale. Which do you guys think is the better value? I do some video editing and this will be my first foray into PC gaming. If the price seems high it may be in Canadian.

looks like a good buy, try to configure one with a 1050ti, you can throw in 16gb ram and an ssd.

The 2017 one has a TI, last years can only have the 960M

i know, that's why i said try to get one with a 1050ti, its a big jump.

Between the two laptops, the new one will probably give you a better gaming experience with it's 1050ti (vs the older 960m which is about equivalent to a 750ti).  But, unfortunately the newer model only seems to come with a very mediocre TN panel, where as the older model actually comes with a decent IPS panel.

 

So basically the new model has a more powerful GPU, but a terrible screen and it's a bit more expensive, where as the older model has a better screen, lower GPU perfomance, and a lower price (you can get the i7, 1TB model for $800 USD off amazon, not sure what the price is for Canada).

 

If you want a better screen with a 1050ti, I'd defiantly recommend looking around a bit more.  Maybe check out HP, Lenovo, MSI, or Asus.

Get whatever model you are willing to (7700hq may help with editing) and get a replacement screen off of ebay for $50. It does not void the warranty if you replace the screen as long as the problem doesn't originate from that.

If you buy the previous gen model, get it from Amazon. I own it and if it's your first go in to a gaming scene you really can't go wrong with either. I've heard the new model overheats like crazy under max load, but that could just be more Dell hate.

Get the gaming model because it has a better graphic card and it has a ssd alreay in M.2 (SSD speed i think tho)

To add, here's the display comparison. The Inspiron 7567 is on the left, and the Inspiron 7559 uses a display like the HP Omen on the right.

 

I usually only recommend the Inspiron 7567 if you're buying it specifically to upgrade the display.

 

For a decent display right off the bat, alongside a 1050 / Ti, the Acer Aspire VX5-591G could be an option:

I think the to-go recommendation is the i5 + 1050ti + diy replace the screen for like 50 bucks. Warranty is intact cept for the screen and it's literally best in class then.
