1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:04,960
you want a freaking amazing looking tv it's gonna be OLED

2
00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:08,720
same with like the phone that you're watching this on right now

3
00:00:06,799 --> 00:00:12,320
probably also an OLED and it looks friggin amazing but for whatever reason

4
00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:16,560
on laptops OLED screens just suck for whatever reason they give me

5
00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:19,680
really bad headaches when i look at them and just like white backgrounds and text

6
00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:24,080
not good samsung though thinks that they have fixed that so this guy right here

7
00:00:23,119 --> 00:00:27,840
apparently has the same OLED screen as they have on the

8
00:00:26,519 --> 00:00:33,680
s21 wait is it s21 s-21

9
00:00:31,359 --> 00:00:36,640
ultra oh it's not the same screen it's using the same technology

10
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:45,280
wow this is one of the most engineering sample laptops that i have received in a

11
00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:47,760
while normally they at least like half try they just threw this in a box look

12
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:53,680
at that great packing job guys there we go

13
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:59,600
wait this doesn't look right i asked for the 13-inch model um i think we got the

14
00:00:58,719 --> 00:01:03,359
15. now before we open it up let's just do a

15
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:06,720
quick tour first of all this thing is super small especially

16
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:10,159
given it has full size HDMI right there along with

17
00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:16,400
what two Thunderbolt fours and on the other side we have

18
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:17,200
full size usb type a and what looks like

19
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:21,759
a little sd card reader so like dell what are you

20
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:25,520
doing why does everyone else say like oh yeah we can't have full size

21
00:01:23,439 --> 00:01:30,000
usb type a when like this thing's thinner than everyone else's laptops

22
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:34,670
build quality feels pretty good this bottom here is

23
00:01:30,960 --> 00:01:36,479
very very plastic

24
00:01:36,479 --> 00:01:40,799
the overall look like it's very plain it's just blue but it does have a real

25
00:01:40,159 --> 00:01:44,640
premium look to it that's something that like i don't understand it's like samsung makes

26
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:48,399
these exceptional looking phones and many

27
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:52,880
other things that are good but until now their laptops have really

28
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:56,479
fallen behind everything else but let's open her up

29
00:01:57,759 --> 00:02:04,159
i wasn't planning on starting it right yet but oh geez

30
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:07,840
uh so my initial impressions of the chassis are

31
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:11,760
not the greatest ever there's a big squish zone

32
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:14,640
right about here yeah that's a lot of deflection and i'm not pressing very

33
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:18,480
hard because it's on the map john west if

34
00:02:16,640 --> 00:02:24,800
it's because it's on the map it's not this is 100 the laptop

35
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:28,000
also ah dang it samsung i asked them for the one with the touchscreen because

36
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:32,160
there's always a problem where so you have to have like your actual

37
00:02:30,640 --> 00:02:37,120
screen and then a touch screen layer that goes over top of it some of the oleds that don't have touch

38
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:41,040
screens look way better on laptops than the ones that do because

39
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:45,120
it has this little like grid over top of it that isn't designed perfectly for OLED

40
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:48,640
screens well Windows says we're almost there which

41
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:52,720
means oh wow we're in just like we're into a segway

42
00:02:50,640 --> 00:02:56,319
to our sponsor pia private internet access is a vpn that

43
00:02:54,879 --> 00:03:00,080
allows you to access services and websites as if you're in a different country

44
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:03,440
it encrypts all of your internet traffic and uses a safe protected ip

45
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:07,120
connect up to 10 devices at once with clients for Windows macOS

46
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:10,319
Android iOS and Linux buy a one-year plan for 39.95 using the link in the

47
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:14,239
video description i want to check out the keyboard first

48
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:19,920
just because it feels snappy

49
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:24,560
keyboard's a bit of a disappointment because whoever did

50
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:29,519
these switches did an exceptional job they feel great they're super snappy you

51
00:03:26,640 --> 00:03:29,519
can probably even hear it like

52
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:35,360
awesome unfortunately again the chassis

53
00:03:34,799 --> 00:03:41,280
is just a bit too flexy so getting a really good

54
00:03:38,879 --> 00:03:44,959
consistent key feel is difficult when like over here you're getting like

55
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:48,400
a millimeter or so of deflection every time that you hit it anyway

56
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:52,720
wire actually here is the display so let's turn this up

57
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:53,920
apparently it's display HDR 500

58
00:03:52,720 --> 00:04:00,640
certified yeah that look dave can we turn off the

59
00:03:57,599 --> 00:04:01,920
light that's back there very glossy

60
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:04,959
display wow okay there we go so if you're going

61
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:10,400
to be using this in bright environments as we just found out don't buy it

62
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:14,159
it's terrible i've never noticed that there's a light back there before

63
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:17,919
when doing laptop stuff in the top down here

64
00:04:14,959 --> 00:04:21,680
my hands are reflecting in the display and it's just

65
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:25,520
mirror-like that said if you plan on using this

66
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:29,199
in a dark room this looks exceptional this looks so freaking good

67
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:32,320
i shouldn't be surprised it has like something stupid like a million to one

68
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:36,320
contrast ratio and it's an OLED display but at the same

69
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:40,080
time damn actually where is our charger i just had

70
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:43,360
jono plug in the thing because it looks like that the brightness is

71
00:04:41,840 --> 00:04:48,080
dropping when you're going to a full white display so like right now

72
00:04:45,840 --> 00:04:52,080
it's clearly not giving me 500 nits of brightness

73
00:04:49,199 --> 00:04:57,040
whereas it pops a lot more when we have a lot of

74
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:58,479
darker stuff on the display

75
00:04:57,040 --> 00:05:01,199
nah just just wait we'll get to crab rave john just a second i need to talk

76
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:05,919
about the screen some more so so although you might be kind of

77
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:10,080
bummed out that on a whole white display you aren't getting the

78
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:13,280
full brightness searing your eyeballs i kind of like it because

79
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:17,680
in the past some OLED displays have just been too bright when you have

80
00:05:15,039 --> 00:05:21,520
a full white background and it can kind of give you headaches so it is nice that

81
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:25,039
it dips a bit but at the same time don't use this outside ever the

82
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:30,320
uniformity looks pretty good that's another complaint that i had before

83
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:33,360
on OLED displays on laptops like you get kind of just this

84
00:05:31,199 --> 00:05:37,280
grainy look over the whole thing when you have

85
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:41,039
one color this looks really good there is a tiny bit of

86
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:44,080
i guess you could call it oddness but it's not too bad

87
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:47,360
let's watch something okay i'll do crab rate for you jonna we'll we'll do the

88
00:05:45,840 --> 00:05:51,680
speakers at the same time so this is only a 1920 by 1080p display

89
00:05:50,479 --> 00:05:59,199
so that is one of the things that i am kind of bummed out i wish that it was 16 by 10 instead of 16x9 but like

90
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:59,199
this panel is awesome

91
00:05:59,280 --> 00:06:04,639
oh my god the black levels look at that

92
00:06:04,639 --> 00:06:08,240
speakers don't have much for balls though

93
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:16,080
okay so the speakers are like fine on

94
00:06:15,280 --> 00:06:21,440
that but i'm actually getting the xps out here because its display is so freaking

95
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:35,360
good ips versus OLED i believe they're both

96
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:37,360
500 nits as well so

97
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:40,160
yeah there's way more saturation on the ips

98
00:06:38,639 --> 00:06:48,319
i'll give you a quick little speaker test here as well

99
00:06:41,919 --> 00:06:52,639
this is the samsung

100
00:06:48,319 --> 00:06:54,479
it's not even a competition for display

101
00:06:52,639 --> 00:06:59,039
it's a hard one i'm really surprised i figured that you'd have a noticeably

102
00:06:56,319 --> 00:07:02,800
better black levels on the OLED but the ips that dell has here looks

103
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:06,720
exceptional i feel like that just general display tuning will be the

104
00:07:05,280 --> 00:07:12,400
difference between which one of these looks better but i am very curious about what's

105
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:16,160
actually going on in the samsung OLED so that it doesn't

106
00:07:13,759 --> 00:07:19,440
look like trash other oleds on laptops they didn't look good

107
00:07:17,199 --> 00:07:23,520
this one looks exceptional let's have a little look shall we

108
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:26,960
now it's freaking nerd out time so grab your new microscope

109
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:31,599
which for one is way better than our old one but also the software is hot garbage

110
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:36,319
from like 2005 so we'll see how that goes so first of all we're going to look at

111
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:40,160
the xps which has an ips display we're at 90 times magnification and this

112
00:07:39,199 --> 00:07:44,319
thing is hair trigger for focus oh my god

113
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:48,800
absolute piece of junk yeah we're seeing about 1.6 FPS whoever

114
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:54,720
made this software um am scope hello uh fix it please

115
00:07:52,479 --> 00:07:57,759
but that's basically what it looks like and now

116
00:07:55,599 --> 00:08:00,720
i want to take a look at my phone which has an OLED display

117
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:05,440
and i think that it uses the kind of cheatering method

118
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:07,440
oh no it isn't a cheatery one on old

119
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:10,800
school kind of like OLED stuff they would have it so that the blue sub

120
00:08:09,599 --> 00:08:14,800
pixels were bigger than the red and the green because it

121
00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:18,639
takes way more energy to create blue light because like

122
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:22,240
wavelengths that crap you burn out your blue pixels way faster

123
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:27,599
than the red and the greens so it makes sense that you would want them to be a little bit bigger

124
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:30,400
but it can be really hard on your eyes especially if you have like a slight

125
00:08:29,039 --> 00:08:33,919
stigmatism in one of them but as you can see the red green and

126
00:08:32,719 --> 00:08:38,719
blue pixels are all the same maybe you can't see

127
00:08:36,959 --> 00:08:42,959
because this thing is having a lot of trouble okay that's as good as we're gonna get

128
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:46,480
on this but you get the picture whole bunch of little dots they're all

129
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:50,160
very uniform that is what we are looking for on the

130
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:53,839
samsung one here because if it has that similar kind of pixel arrangement

131
00:08:52,399 --> 00:08:59,760
that means they're not cheating for this generation and i am very excited

132
00:08:56,320 --> 00:09:03,360
to find out whoa this is

133
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:05,519
so weird what the

134
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:08,720
this is one of the weirdest subpixel arrangements that i've ever seen

135
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:13,920
i feel like that they kind of took the pixel size of a 4k display

136
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:18,080
yeah so you get the same number of red and green and blue pixels

137
00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:22,080
but it's so weird because the blues are much bigger

138
00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:23,040
and they're also sort of in a row so you

139
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:27,600
get alternating red green red green red green red green

140
00:09:25,839 --> 00:09:34,080
and then there's rows of blue so they can be bigger and presumably

141
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:35,839
less bright in the past that's made

142
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:39,440
me feel terrible like it's given me headaches but for whatever reason

143
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:43,040
it doesn't with this one and it must just be because it's a 1080p resolution

144
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:48,839
4k i don't know but i like this one and judging by the

145
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:51,279
subpixels i don't think i should

146
00:09:48,839 --> 00:09:54,480
wait what so do you remember how i was complaining

147
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:58,959
about the chassis stiffness you can click the trackpad by pushing

148
00:09:56,880 --> 00:10:05,839
the bottom oh samsung come on

149
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:10,079
but the good news is is that samsung's displays go into

150
00:10:07,279 --> 00:10:12,720
everything like every single OLED screen in a laptop that's on the market right

151
00:10:11,839 --> 00:10:17,440
now samsung makes it this right here despite

152
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:21,760
me not really wanting to recommend this laptop it's not terrible it's pretty light

153
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:27,600
what's the price on it jono this one right here has uh let's see

154
00:10:25,279 --> 00:10:30,560
oh see i can't click the touchpad when i'm holding in my hand

155
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:33,040
because it's already clicked can you take the touchpad by just pressing down

156
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:37,279
on the body yeah i can click the touchpad by just

157
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:42,079
pushing here i don't have a price so we don't have a price on this yeah if we have a price

158
00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:46,480
it'll be right here if it's like not all that expensive then

159
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:51,760
sure go for it i guess oh it's so frustrating okay

160
00:10:49,680 --> 00:10:55,120
let's have a little chat samsung this laptop is infuriating because you got so

161
00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:58,880
much of it right this trackpad the size is great the feel

162
00:10:58,079 --> 00:11:04,160
is awesome it's really good whoever designed this trackpad give them a raise

163
00:11:02,079 --> 00:11:08,079
same with the keyboard this keyboard is awesome the click feel

164
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:11,040
exceptional overall besides it being french

165
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:15,519
really like it this display it's one of the best that i've ever seen

166
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:17,680
in a laptop this chassis

167
00:11:15,519 --> 00:11:22,560
it's terrible i didn't expect it to make that sound but it really

168
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:25,519
it really brings it home just

169
00:11:22,560 --> 00:11:29,519
invest in like even just a good stamped aluminum chassis

170
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:33,680
and i would daily drive this laptop because otherwise

171
00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:37,600
it is freaking awesome this is in many ways one of the best laptops that i've

172
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:42,320
looked at in a really long time it is so light this display is awesome

173
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:45,519
i would daily drive it but i can't you can't use the track pad when you're

174
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:48,800
holding it because it's clicked that's where they're at um i don't know

175
00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:51,920
if i went over the specs it has an i7 16 gigabytes of RAM

176
00:11:49,839 --> 00:11:55,519
uh oh this one right here actually has 5g which is freaking awesome another

177
00:11:53,680 --> 00:11:59,120
thing you did great oh and jono just told me that it's 68 watt her battery

178
00:11:57,519 --> 00:12:04,480
with this processor that is going to give you so much battery life

179
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:06,160
it's probably like 12 hours plus

180
00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:09,839
then again it's an OLED display but it's 1080p on a display i don't know there's

181
00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:15,920
a whole bunch of different things but you're gonna have good battery life with this thing samsung you are

182
00:12:13,279 --> 00:12:19,680
so close to creating the best laptop on the market with this thing right here

183
00:12:17,519 --> 00:12:25,279
it's like everything that the lg gram should be minus

184
