Inspiron 7501 first impressions

So I got my new Inspiron 7501 today and I figured I should share some quick first impressions since I've not seen anyone else mention it.

My model is the top of the line in Sweden with the 1650 ti, 1tb disk and 16 gb ram, 97wh battery and a 1080 15.6" screen. I paid around $1400 including 25% VAT.

From what I've seen so far:

• Display is way better than i thought when ordering. Almost bright enough to work outside in the sun. I come from running 4k laptops for 5 years and I honestly can barely tell the difference in resolution on a 15 inch screen.

• Battery life seems excellent (97wh model)

• Build quality is nowhere near the XPS, but it doesn't bother me, hinge is sturdy.

• Running it in ultra performance mode made the keyboard uncomfortably hot, hopefully this was only during initial setup. If I can't get it to run cooler I will probably be returning it. This was all running on a cooling pad with its own fans. The model also has a vent just above the keyboard which i find extremely annoying since i tend to rest my fingers very high on the keyboard (I wasn't even aware of myself doing this until I started using this laptop and almost got burn damages (it's REALLY hot)

• Keyboard & Layout was pretty good and easy to get up to full speed typing.

• Trackpad works fine and is very smooth to the touch

• no coil whine on mine and its really quiet even in the performance mode.

Edit: having tried some gaming it really ramps the fans up in performance mode, but the temps aren't unbearable for the 15 minutes i had time to play. I'll try the other modes tomorrow.

Edit2:

I returned the laptop due to thermal issues. If you are going to do anything but game on it its going to be spectacular, however if you game on it be prepared to need headphones and gloves because it gets super hot.
