Dell Inspiron 15 7559 vs HP OMEN 15ax015nf

[TehosKhiin]

Hello,

 

The titel says actually everything. Between a decent refurbished 830 euros Dell gaming laptop that isn't that bad and a new HP laptop (I don't really carry HP in my hart....it's nearly hatred) wich one of my friends has and is good (from his perspective). Why I hesitate is because of the price. the Dell laptop costs 830 euros with shipping and the HP OMEN costs around 650 and 1000 euros (if you are lucky enough to find it at 650-700 euros because it is mostly at 1000 bucks). 

 

Dell INPIRON specs:

• 6th Generation Intel® Core™ i7-6700HQ Quad Core (6M Cache, up to 3.5 GHz)
• 15.6 inch 4K Ultra HD (3840 x 2160) Truelife LED-Backlit Touch Display with Wide Viewing Angle (IPS)
• Genuine Windows 10 Home English
• NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX™ 960M with 4GB GDDR5
• 1TB (5400 RPM) SATA Hybrid Hard Drive with 8GB Cache
• N/A
• 8GB Dual Channel DDR3 1600MHz Memory (1x8GB)

 

HP OMEN specs:

• CPU : Intel Core i5 6300HQ - 2.3 GHz
• 15.6" - IPS - 1920 x 1080 (Full HD)
• RAM : 6 Go 2133 mhz (1 x 4 Go + 1 x 2 Go)
• 1 To HDD SATA 6Gb-s - 7200 rpm
•  NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960M - 2 Go GDDR5 SDRAM
•  HDMI, , USB 2.0, 2 x USB 3.0, LAN
•  802.11a-b-g-n-ac, Bluetooth 4.2
•  Windows 10 Edition Familiale 64 bits

 

I'm on a budget but can afford both of them just trying to still save some money for my next College year. I would like it to be good at gaming (light games like DOTA 2, LOL, Little indie games like Furi, Titan souls and such, Rocket league,....) watching videos/movies watching streams and also good for College because I need one (I study Applied Informatics) so it would be great if it could be good for programming and multitasking. I know you would all say to just pick the 650 one because it is cheaper but it is a sale. The day I get paid from my Job (which will be at the end of the month) It will probebly end by then or not if I'm really FREAKING lucky. Weight is also very important to me because I will drag this bad boy like 4 days a week. The HP is lighter by 500 grams. 

 

Hope I have mentioned enough detail so you all can help me make a decision

 

Kind regards

from what i can see the dell is just a better laptop, quad core cpu with hyperthreading and a 4gb 960m vs a quad core with no hyperthreading and a 2gb 960m

But  Hyperthreading doesn't really help for gaming right? Even though it is a bonus the price goes also up a bit and the tranfer speeds are less good on the HDD then the HP.

I'd go with the Dell. Though I don't think hyperthreading is supported by most games, it does work in most applications that you'd be using other than games and would be a decent choice if I'm not wrong.

Even though it is like 180 eurosmore expensive?

yes it is, we are not living in 2010 or something like that. You can basically look up any i5 vs i7 gaming benchmark and you will see that an i7 have higher average FPS, higher 1% and higher 0.1%. 

 

The Dell is better in basically every single way. Better made, better specs and better support.
