Introduction
Dreamcore’s 15‑inch Dreambook Touch 15: A Whitebook Clone with a Twist
What’s the deal with this laptop?
Ever spotted a device that feels oddly familiar? That’s exactly what you’ll see with Dreamcore’s Dreambook Touch 15. The gadget isn’t built from scratch; it’s basically a whitebook—a pre‑assembled Intel NUC M15 Laptop Kit. These blank slates are designed for partners, not for you straight out of the box.
How does it end up in our hands?
- Intel hands the whitebook to boutique notebook allies and channel customers.
- Those partners re‑brand, tweak, and resell the product under their own names.
- Dreamcore jumped on the bandwagon, giving the Dreambook Touch 15 its own personality.
Funny side note
So if you’re hunting for a laptop that looks a lot like the Dreambook Touch 15, you’re not alone—other local and regional brands have likely pulled the same playbook, creating look‑alike machines for their own markets.

Touch 15: A Touch of Class
Picture a sleek, grey unibody aluminum case that feels like a velvet glove on your fingertips. That’s the Touch 15. Dreamcore has also thrown a midnight black version into the mix if you’re into that moody aesthetic.
Specs that give you a nod of approval
- Thickness: 14.9 mm – slim enough to fit in your bag yet thick enough to feel solid.
- Weight: 1.65 kg – robust but manageable for the adventurous.
- Build: Unibody aluminum – so it looks and feels premium.
What makes it stand out… and why it’s still a solid pick
We’re not talking about a shiny gadget that’s designed to brag on the street. The Touch 15 is built on an Intel reference design, which means it never really turns heads like the flashy models from ASUS, Lenovo, or Dell. Still, its clean, minimal style is exactly what you want for the work‑day grind or a focused evening of creative glitz.
Honestly, despite not being the flashiest notebook on the market, the Touch 15’s sturdy construction and understated elegance make it a comforting work‑horse that does the job without fuss.
Connectivity Bonanza
Need ports that work like a charm? This laptop’s got your back on both sides with the snazzy Thunderbolt 4 USB‑C and that good‑old USB‑A. And guess what? You can charge it from either side—no more frantic “which plug to use?” drama. For eye‑popping visuals, the HDMI 2.0 output will happily movie‑drum any display. One little hiccup: there’s no SD card reader in the lineup.
What’s in the Port Bag?
- Thunderbolt 4 USB‑C – ultra‑fast data & video, side‑by‑side.
- USB‑A – classic plug for all your old gadgets.
- Battery Charging – charge from either side so you’re never stuck.
- HDMI 2.0 Out – cranks up 4K for your movie nights.
- No SD Card Slot – the only missing piece in this sleek setup.
So if a portable SD reader is your lifeline, you might wanna keep scrolling. Otherwise, you’re all set to plug, play, and stay charged. Happy computing!
Dreamcore’s Display: A Visual Victory
When it comes to screen choice, the Dreamcore has opted for a 16:9 IPS panel at 1080p. For casual browsing and media, that’s plenty of canvas. But if you’re about maximizing workspace, a 16:10 panel would have given you a bit more screen real estate—a sweet spot for productivity that the Dreambook Touch 15 aims to deliver.
Brightness that Pops
The panel tops out at 450 nits of brightness, keeping your visuals lively even on bright sunny days. That means vivid colors that don’t flake out and sharp images that stay sharp, all in a tidy 1080p layout.
Contrast & Color Fidelity
- Contrast Ratio: 1500:1 – sharp blacks give great depth to your videos.
- Colour Gamut: 100% sRGB – colors clip accurately, making photo editing a delight rather than a headache.
Overall Verdict
It’s hard to find a notebook in this range that doesn’t produce dull or washed‑out screens, but the Dreamcore’s display emerges as one of the best performers I’ve seen in this class. Whether you’re watching a movie, editing a photo, or just scrolling through social media, it holds up nicely—bright, vivid, and crisp.
Dreambook Touch 15: Keyboard & Touchpad Review
The keyboard feels like a throwback to pre‑2016 MacBook Pros – it’s a classic, well‑spaced layout with keys that aren’t too cramped or too tiny. The travel is solid, giving a satisfying “ding” without feeling mushy. Most users rave about how it just works smoothly.
- Key layout: classic, familiar.
- Spacing & size: just right.
- Key travel: decent, with a crisp feel.
The body angle is a clever touch. Those taller rubber feet near the screen hinges pin the laptop a few degrees upwards, so your elbows stay a bit higher and you take a breather from wrist fatigue. It also keeps the chassis cooler by allowing better airflow.
The touchpad
Don’t let the name fool you – the touchpad keeps up with the competition. Its 12 cm × 6.5 cm glass pane is generous, letting your fingers glide like a skateboard on smooth concrete. It meets the Microsoft Precision standard, so you can do:
- Four‑finger pinch‑to‑zoom
- Multi‑finger swipes to switch desktops
- Other gesture goodies (thanks a ton to the precision tuning)
All in all, the Dreambook Touch 15 offers a keyboard that feels like a nostalgic playground and a touchpad that’s practically a “no‑slouch” superstar.
Intel on the inside
Dreamcore Touch 15 Review – The Business‑Gamer’s Sweet‑Spot
What the Gears Though
- CPU – Dash it! 11th Gen Core i7‑1165G7 is the beast here, with built‑in Xe graphics that do a decent dance on the screen. For the budget‑sidekick, there’s a Core i5‑1135G7 option that’s equally friendly but only dances with 8 GB of RAM.
- Memory – 16 GB of solder‑in‑one, ready for you to hit the groove immediately. No up‑grades touch‑required, so just accept it – the Max‑Fitness mode is already on.
- Thermals – 15 inches has a nice extra breathing room, keeping the processor from going into “run‑away” mode. Stubborn heat normally stops laptops from hanging at peak performance.
Performance – Surprising Enough for a 15‑inch
It’s a bit of a surprise that a non‑gaming phone‑sized machine delivers rock‑steady power in an era where 15‑inch laptops that aren’t meant for high‑graphical tasks have become rare. So, let’s see how the Dreamcore Touch 15 handles the day‑to‑day grind.
Take Away Points
- Core i7 + 16 GB lives up to the claim – you’ll be able to multitask blandly or vigorously.
- 8 GB on the i5 variant is a limit but not fatal if you aim for office productivity.
- The Touch 15 is n0t a gaming juggernaut, but it still props up the style of a top‑class worker‑laptop.
- 15‑inch builds often handle heat better than the thicker and pricier gaming sibling, so you don’t get those annoying thermal throttles.
Bottom Line – Does It Fit?
With its all‑in‑one design, the Dreamcore Touch 15 feels ready for business or a casual gaming slot, if just a bit of paralleled prowess is okay with you. It may not frolic like a ROG or Blade, but it packs the balanced gusto a professional needs – and that’s a win for everyday adventures.
