    Dell makes solid laptops but only a 960M? MSI, Asus, Razer have already released (or in the process) units with 1060's and 1070's.

    What's new about this, I believe it was released in Spring of 2016 if I'm not mistaken?

    https://www.cnet.com/products/dell-inspiron-15-7000-2016/

    Is this just now popping up in Europe? I imagine another refresh with the latest Intel processors will come soon seeing as the XPS was just refreshed with the Intel 7th generation Kaby Lake processors.

    The one in the link above is the 7566, not the 7559, which indeed was released a while ago. Although the main difference so far seems to be the use of faster ddr4 (instead of the ddr3L), the design, and another 4k screen (SHARP this time, I think/hope a better one than the LG screen on the 7559).

    Ok, thanks for clearing that up! On the U.S. site the live link when you navigate to the Inspiron 7000 series is still to the 7559, but if I manually change it to 7566 there is a USA product page for the Inspiron 15-7566:

    Note the pictures are slightly different for the U.S. page, instead of a black laptop with red accent it's an all red lid:

    In the Netherlands (not sure about the rest of EU), there's a red option too. But only for the 1080p version.

    I think I liked the black version better. A bit more "normal". I think that was kind of the unique thing for the inspiron 15 7000. A rather normal gaming laptop. Instead of all those extreme designs (alienware, Asus Rog, Acer Predator, MSI GS series).

    Well I have ordered the Dell Inspiron 15 7559 but I did find out that the new 7566 starts even a bit cheaper for the i5, 8gb ram and 1TB hdd. I really need to see some reviews, coz It will be probably better in some ways. Only the desigh is a bit outstanding. Do you know when reviews are comming out?
