this right here is the surface laptop 2 and it has a 45 watt hour battery that
gets you about nine hours of battery life and
here's the xps 15 and with its 87 watt hour battery you
get a whopping nine hours of battery life because it is
a lot more powerful like there's there's just way more happening in this
computer but what would happen if you took you know the CPU class of
this guy right here and added it together with the battery of this one
here well that's what we have here today
this here is the dell latitude 9410 and they claim that it has
27 hours of battery life i guess andy do
we just open it up now heck yeah wrong
because we have a sponsor pdf element pro is an all-in-one smart pdf editor
that offers the easiest way to create edit convert annotate and sign pdf
documents on Windows and mac you can transform any pdf to
and from microsoft word excel and powerpoint without losing your
formatting you can easily collect analysis-ready data from your clients by
fillable pdf forms from paper or existing electronic files
and add certified digital signatures to help recipients validate document
authenticity and integrity so click the link in the description to
get 50 off pdf element pro here we go
yep that's a pen dell's pens are pretty good
in my experience but not fantastic this one i imagine is about the same
what's up next power cord
and charger okay so the charge is 90
watts which is more than you'd expect for a laptop of
this size but it's probably so that they can you know charge up the large battery in a
reasonable amount of time so we're gonna want this thing
to be nice and ready for the laptop the second that we get it out of the package
because we're gonna be running a battery test on it of course like you know the main
selling point is the battery so we want to make sure that the battery
is fully charged as soon as possible okay what do we have
here connection and use of this communications equipment is permitted by
the nigerian communications commission sure all right and
the reveal oh i turned it behind it but
it's fine first impressions nice and you know
metal around here one of the features on the
spec sheet is bottom cover and we certainly have had very solid i o we have these very
nice aluminum edges all the way around here
and what looks like two Thunderbolt ports full size HDMI
full size usb type a and then around on the other side
you have oh it's a micro sd card reader i almost prefer the full size ones
and then headphone combo jack and another usb type-a so now compared to
something like the dell xps 13 getting a lot more ports but yeah you're
also getting a fair bit more laptop here let's take a look one handed open oh no
problem that is a oh come on come on a very smooth hinge
there just a very nice feeling chassis it doesn't
quite have you know the premium look that you might get on say the xps 13 but
at the same time it's a business laptop so you kind of expect that
almost zero deck flex here this is i believe all aluminum
same thing the panel excellent feeling
the whole thing is surprisingly light given that it is like a bit of a chunker
and the display is touch is that full
brightness no okay good i was afraid that the brightness was going to be very low
but it's actually pretty decent it's a one watt 1080p
touch panel so like you're not going to
get the most eye searing amazing visuals
that you've ever seen but at the same time 27
hours battery life apparently this is actually like despite
not being very big quite a nice little touchpad it has a very good just feel a nice little click
to it as for the keyboard i have kind of high
hopes for this because you know it's a business machine although then again looking at it the light
piping kind of balls i wonder if that's intentional g and h are just way brighter than
everything around it looks like m's also pretty bite and w i'm not totally sure how i feel about
this keyboard so it kind of depends on if you're kind of an old person that
like just really likes you know bopping on
the keys this is going to be pretty great they're they're pretty firm and they have
loads of travel and i imagine that with a bit of
you know playing with it i could get up to almost full speed
the stabilization isn't the best and it's not
totally consistent like if i push on the side it deflects a bit
but h is just way softer and deflects
more that's the kind of inconsistency that will
make it really hard to get up to full speed on a keyboard
so specs for the processor we get an Intel i7
106 10u so that goes up to
4.9 gigahertz it's only four cores but
the same time that's pretty friggin snappy for this type of a
machine 16 gigabytes of RAM uh it's a 512
Gigabyte NVMe SSD so it's pretty fast but given the price of
this thing you'd be expecting a tiny bit more but
that's kind of the business premium like you're getting the
v pro processor you're getting a bunch of extra security features and so on
like this is the kind of machine where you're paying for
instead of like a nice carbon fiber deck tray like you might on the dell xps
you're paying for like if it stops working dell will send someone
to fix it the next day like that kind of a thing so the value proposition's a bit
different than for like regular consumers
clarity at first is actually really good
but i'm guessing the base drop is gonna be nothing
never mind that's actually surprisingly good for you know what it is
okay so the surface laptop 2 which is
these days a fine laptop speaker setup
like hp and dell have since passed it it was pretty good at the time it's better
than this guy here so
not amazing speakers but at the same time you know
you've only been using laptops from a couple of years ago this is gonna like
blow your mind probably oh one other thing i do normally complain about
by 10 displays and when they aren't
on laptops but i think that we need to
give dell a bit of a pass in this situation here just because it's
the one watt super low power panel and i'm guessing that that just
doesn't exist as a 16 by 10 right now so we'll we'll give them a pass for this
generation hopefully in the next one they're able to get the one watt you know full size one be
sick one thing that is nice though is that although it's charging
and running Windows update at the same time the bottom of this
is really nice and cool like on lots of
stuff like the xps 15 is particularly bad for this like if you're charging it
you do not want this thing on your lap here we go
okay yep that's a it's basically all
battery oh this is i think that's magnesium that's fun
getting back to this is a three thousand dollar system it starts
at 1800 but not cheap so you get one m.2 SSD it
looks like there's a spot for another one but no room for it cooling system here
and there's a bunch of shielding there and also on this side
which is probably helping a lot with the hotness that i was talking about before
one little fan which is probably more than enough and this
massive battery so you might be thinking like this is 78 watt hours
and the lg gram is what like 75
74 something like that why is this right here getting quoted for 27 hours of
battery life when the lg is what like 17 20 something
like that so it's kind of like everything working together in here so you have this
massive battery for a laptop like this you have the super low power four core CPU
you also have that one watt panel that's just you know not creating
a lot of photons and sucking up the battery sort of all of that together is
what gives you that massive battery amount the edge here is
all diamond cut which just looks so sick i like to simulate it
as say like it's a student that arrives at the library and knows that they're going to
be there for a really long time and is trying to maximize the amount of battery
life that they can get without compromising too much so we're going to
turn off like keyboard backlight the display goes to 150 nits and then we
just leave it oh and full battery saver mode it's not
the most scientific but two up from the bottom is pretty much
150 nits about three up from the bottom on this
laptop so there we go cool we're good we'll pick this up
tomorrow whenever this is finished so it's now been
about 23 and a half hours
so it must be dead right
oh how according to this
there's still an hour and a half of battery life left
which means that you get legitimately 25
hours of battery life out of this thing like
what the heck i'm actually very surprised because
i'm just so used to companies kind of lying well
no not lying greatly exaggerating
their battery life claims whereas this one right here like if you treated it
just a tiny bit nicer you could legitimately have 27
hours of battery life out of this thing like holy crap
so do i think you should buy it
for three thousand dollars no of course not
get your employer to buy it for you like it's a business laptop that's what you
do with these things like so yeah there it is the dell latitude
9410 um pretty good overall
as a laptop i would say generally
impressed battery life mind-blowing best i've ever
seen so yeah for more stuff like this get subscribed uh go over to LTT
i'm currently working on a really cool video for actually i guess
that'll already be up before this goes out whatever whatever anyway get
subscribed to both of them have a great day
