Sprint customer for 9 years and I’ve been all over the CONUS.
There was a few bumpy months here and there but after their last tower upgrades it has been surprisingly wonderful.
Two paid for phones with unlimited everything for around $100 per month.
A hopped up Civic vs a low end BMW
I’d go with the Asus. I have a G7 7588 in my possession.
The Dell is great at $1k but spec’d out is getting into better product territory.
It's a gamble. Mine was great and I bought another panel (same panel model) separately to install in another laptop and it too was nearly perfect regarding BLB. You just never know. This particular panel is not notorious for BLB issues.
I’ve reviewed this on my channel.
The panel is the auo42ed same as the Asus Zephyrus. It’s stunning.
The build quality is fantastic and the all black look is very welcome.
The temps are high but it’s .9” thin. Repasting is a 30 min job tops and you’re on your way to better temps.
Best...
Take a look at the Lenovo 720s for $799 at Microcenter. It’s beautifully built, 14” amazing 1080p glossy panel, i5 8250u 4c8t chip, MX150 Pascal gpu, 8gb ddr4, m.2 256 gb storage and Windows Hello.
It's Max Q. Have a google about it. https://www.google.com/search?q=dell+7577+max+q&oq=dell+7577+max+q&aqs=chrome..69i57j69i60l3.5750j0j4&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8
Dell just needs to update their website.
Here's some more information about it as well...
There is actually. I was surprised myself. The new Dell 7577 has a MaxQ 1060. Just in case you haven't seen this..http://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/cty/pdp/spd/inspiron-15-7577-laptop?~ck=mn
I had the 2017 and found it HOT, loud of course and the keys clicked when the laptop was hot. The latter is an actual problem with the 2016 and 17 MBP, look it up.
I ended up going for the 2015 and couldn't be happier. The chassis has a far better ventilation solution too.
Have you tried Eluktronics and Sager yet?
Should meet your criteria pretty well. I can't speak for their ips panels yet but their 120 hz TN is the best looking TN I have ever seen.
