Copped the new xps 15 9560 for $1000USD on ebay
It's an i5-7300HQ, 8GB/256GBSSD 4K UHD with the gtx 1050
Not sure if it has coil whine or any of those problems. Did I do good? What do I do if the shit has coil whine?

You already ordered it. Why do you morons come here to ask if what you just purchased is any good or not?
It's too late jackass.

Im just wondering
Nah, you fucked up

there was no deal good enough on the i7
i dont really need an i7 anyway, do i?
>>59760578
Depends what are you gonna use it for.
Shitposting? Perfect with comfy screen.
Video editing, photoshop? Should have gone with i7 and 16gb ram ir 32gb like I did.

Anyway for a price you did good. Its okay for light games. ME:Andromeda 1080p medium to high. Civ 6 4k almost max. But again I use I7. Movie/youtube watching is great especially with its battery longevity.

I'm using it for engineering shit, portable workstation that I'm going to hookup to my desktop when I'm in the office. I run mainly computational programs like MATLAB, maybe a little bit of computational fluid dynamics.
I'm worried about the lack of hyperthreading being a problem, and also the longevity of the i5-7300HQ - Do you think it'll be relevant for the next 4-5 years or so if I upgarde the RAM?
Going to upgrade to 32GB probably as well

Should have gone with i7, how could you fuck up so hard? It's like you don't even understand what you're using it for.
>>59760851
It should be sufficient enough. I5 and I7 aren't all that different. Of course hyperthreading would be good to have but it is not like I5 is shit as a processor. For a grand you laptop is great.

that's the HQ version or quadcore model, no different much from i7 HQ tru i5 HQ. it's the U/ulv version or dual core one which is underpowered.

What do you mean?
I'm OP with the i5-7300HQ. Should last me a few years, right? won't be total shit?
