I just got the 3060 version. I bought it in India, it’s the only SKU available here so far. It’s a bit more expensive than the other 3060 laptops available but build quality feels on point. And the performance is exceptional. Battery life has also been great. I’m getting about 8 hours watching netflix or youtube. I just wanted to say thanks for the comparison, I chose the laptop after seeing that the performance was comparable. Great videos man!

I was also really surprised. Obviously I played a fair few games at 1080p to compare to the base model and I had to really lean in and look to notice that it wasn't a 1080p panel (when I was going back and forth between them) obviously games look better at 1440p due to the better textures but I really enjoyed even gaming at 1080p!

I own both an m15 R4 and a m17 r4, the m15 has the 3060 and the m17 has the 3070. Very similar differences. You get about a 20% difference in Time Spy and games anywhere between 10-15% performance gain in FPS in general. I tell folks if you can afford the difference, or you can catch a sale on a model with the 3070, jump on it, you will not be disappointed.

@@MashITTech oh wow I wasn't expecting you to agree. Erm I just wanna see the difference between the GPU being bottlenecked by the igpu. I don't believe it works with the R5(3070) as it has advanced Optimus which turns off the igpu completely. I think doing it with the r5(3060) which has no mux switch or advanced Optimus, would work if you connect an external monitor and turn the laptop screen off, as the hdmi port is connected directly to the dgpu. This emulates having a mux switch. And comparing the the performance with using the laptop screen. Which would be using normal Optimus, so the igpu would be a limiting factor. Also thanks for doing all this. I will be looking forward to the x15 and x17 reviews. I really hope the 1080p 165hz model has a mux switch. If not it may be worth upgrading it for the 360hz model. Depending on how much advanced Optimus improves performance. Do you know what models you would be getting. Imo the models with 16gb ram, rtx 3070, and the 1080p model is the best config for price to performance.

TBH I feel like Dell did the Ryzen R5 a huge disservice in a few ways compared to the prior Intel R4 configuration: downgraded cooling solution (no vapor chamber cooling on GPU which leads to higher CPU temps), reduced dynamic boost range (=/-10W with a max ceiling of 125W compared to 140W on R4) which leads to lower GPU overall on less CPU demanding games and reduced port selection. I'm not sure if they've used reduced performance RAM with single row modules instead of dual like many other manufacturers have done to cut costs (such as Asus did in the Ryzen Strix and Lenovo did in the new Lenovo Legion 5 Pro), but it doesn't seem like Ryzen is getting a fair shake compared to what the previous R4 models had and it seems more like a downgrade coming from the R4 to be honest. The only benefit in this model is the ability to know upgrade the RAM, but other than that I would choose (and I recently have purchased one) the much lower cost due to sales on Dell m15 R4 with the RTX 3070 over this.

You are absolutely right, but it appears to me that Dell have made the R5 a more budget version Alienware and will be keeping the premium features and feel for the X series. This is a real shame as they had a chance to finally make a really good ryzen laptop but instead chose to make an average one. I like the r5, and have enjoyed my time with it but you are right with regards to the thermals, TGP and also the r4 has better speakers and keyboard layout.

Since two models have the same CPU and both GPUs are limited at the same TGP, it seems there's no huge difference in gaming. However I would expect 3070 outperforms 3060 in productivity scenarios where CUDA cores are exploited. If Dell is generous enough, they perhaps would release a new vBIOS for 3070 to set its TGP to 140 watts. Well, maybe...who knows... I would also expect a comparison versus R6. 11800H could be better than 5800H as I checked reviews on Lenovo models.

The 3070 also fairs better at 1440p but I could only get the 3060 with 1080p

@@MashITTech Oh, I forgot the difference of resolution, and also 3070 has a larger vRAM than that of 3060 to keep up with high definition textures. Basically it's worth the price gap.

@@MashITTech Well, you've already played apex legends and csgo, so my interest is at its peak hahaha. But I must ask, not related to this laptop, but to the x17 series, do you think they will add 1440p to that model? It's kinds dumb that the 15 inch laptop with less wattage gets the 1440p comparing to the 17 inch which has alot more wattage :c

My base model came with the Hello face recognition and the 360hz screen with the 3060 and advanced optimus... The 3070 upgrade was not worth it...Money better spent on RAM

@@MashITTech US... Dell made this selection at its early release.. The 3070 was not available at the time so they offered these options to get us to pull the trigger..Actually the 360hz was the only option available.. I love my M15 R5 .. And I just ordered the better RAM so I will let you know if it improves performance ..
