WEBVTT

00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:04.960
you want a freaking amazing looking tv it's gonna be OLED

00:00:03.600 --> 00:00:08.720
same with like the phone that you're watching this on right now

00:00:06.799 --> 00:00:12.320
probably also an OLED and it looks friggin amazing but for whatever reason

00:00:10.240 --> 00:00:16.560
on laptops OLED screens just suck for whatever reason they give me

00:00:14.160 --> 00:00:19.680
really bad headaches when i look at them and just like white backgrounds and text

00:00:18.880 --> 00:00:24.080
not good samsung though thinks that they have fixed that so this guy right here

00:00:23.119 --> 00:00:27.840
apparently has the same OLED screen as they have on the

00:00:26.519 --> 00:00:33.680
s21 wait is it s21 s-21

00:00:31.359 --> 00:00:36.640
ultra oh it's not the same screen it's using the same technology

00:00:38.960 --> 00:00:45.280
wow this is one of the most engineering sample laptops that i have received in a

00:00:43.440 --> 00:00:47.760
while normally they at least like half try they just threw this in a box look

00:00:47.120 --> 00:00:53.680
at that great packing job guys there we go

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

00:00:58.719 --> 00:01:03.359
15. now before we open it up let's just do a

00:01:01.920 --> 00:01:06.720
quick tour first of all this thing is super small especially

00:01:06.000 --> 00:01:10.159
given it has full size HDMI right there along with

00:01:09.760 --> 00:01:16.400
what two Thunderbolt fours and on the other side we have

00:01:13.200 --> 00:01:17.200
full size usb type a and what looks like

00:01:16.400 --> 00:01:21.759
a little sd card reader so like dell what are you

00:01:19.600 --> 00:01:25.520
doing why does everyone else say like oh yeah we can't have full size

00:01:23.439 --> 00:01:30.000
usb type a when like this thing's thinner than everyone else's laptops

00:01:27.840 --> 00:01:34.670
build quality feels pretty good this bottom here is

00:01:30.960 --> 00:01:36.479
very very plastic

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

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

00:01:44.000 --> 00:01:48.399
these exceptional looking phones and many

00:01:47.360 --> 00:01:52.880
other things that are good but until now their laptops have really

00:01:51.040 --> 00:01:56.479
fallen behind everything else but let's open her up

00:01:57.759 --> 00:02:04.159
i wasn't planning on starting it right yet but oh geez

00:02:01.840 --> 00:02:07.840
uh so my initial impressions of the chassis are

00:02:05.840 --> 00:02:11.760
not the greatest ever there's a big squish zone

00:02:09.200 --> 00:02:14.640
right about here yeah that's a lot of deflection and i'm not pressing very

00:02:13.520 --> 00:02:18.480
hard because it's on the map john west if

00:02:16.640 --> 00:02:24.800
it's because it's on the map it's not this is 100 the laptop

00:02:22.000 --> 00:02:28.000
also ah dang it samsung i asked them for the one with the touchscreen because

00:02:26.080 --> 00:02:32.160
there's always a problem where so you have to have like your actual

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

00:02:35.280 --> 00:02:41.040
screens look way better on laptops than the ones that do because

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

00:02:44.160 --> 00:02:48.640
screens well Windows says we're almost there which

00:02:47.280 --> 00:02:52.720
means oh wow we're in just like we're into a segway

00:02:50.640 --> 00:02:56.319
to our sponsor pia private internet access is a vpn that

00:02:54.879 --> 00:03:00.080
allows you to access services and websites as if you're in a different country

00:02:58.480 --> 00:03:03.440
it encrypts all of your internet traffic and uses a safe protected ip

00:03:01.840 --> 00:03:07.120
connect up to 10 devices at once with clients for Windows macOS

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

00:03:09.440 --> 00:03:14.239
video description i want to check out the keyboard first

00:03:13.040 --> 00:03:19.920
just because it feels snappy

00:03:18.080 --> 00:03:24.560
keyboard's a bit of a disappointment because whoever did

00:03:21.760 --> 00:03:29.519
these switches did an exceptional job they feel great they're super snappy you

00:03:26.640 --> 00:03:29.519
can probably even hear it like

00:03:31.440 --> 00:03:35.360
awesome unfortunately again the chassis

00:03:34.799 --> 00:03:41.280
is just a bit too flexy so getting a really good

00:03:38.879 --> 00:03:44.959
consistent key feel is difficult when like over here you're getting like

00:03:43.040 --> 00:03:48.400
a millimeter or so of deflection every time that you hit it anyway

00:03:46.560 --> 00:03:52.720
wire actually here is the display so let's turn this up

00:03:49.680 --> 00:03:53.920
apparently it's display HDR 500

00:03:52.720 --> 00:04:00.640
certified yeah that look dave can we turn off the

00:03:57.599 --> 00:04:01.920
light that's back there very glossy

00:04:00.640 --> 00:04:04.959
display wow okay there we go so if you're going

00:04:04.080 --> 00:04:10.400
to be using this in bright environments as we just found out don't buy it

00:04:08.560 --> 00:04:14.159
it's terrible i've never noticed that there's a light back there before

00:04:11.840 --> 00:04:17.919
when doing laptop stuff in the top down here

00:04:14.959 --> 00:04:21.680
my hands are reflecting in the display and it's just

00:04:19.040 --> 00:04:25.520
mirror-like that said if you plan on using this

00:04:22.800 --> 00:04:29.199
in a dark room this looks exceptional this looks so freaking good

00:04:27.520 --> 00:04:32.320
i shouldn't be surprised it has like something stupid like a million to one

00:04:31.040 --> 00:04:36.320
contrast ratio and it's an OLED display but at the same

00:04:34.560 --> 00:04:40.080
time damn actually where is our charger i just had

00:04:38.000 --> 00:04:43.360
jono plug in the thing because it looks like that the brightness is

00:04:41.840 --> 00:04:48.080
dropping when you're going to a full white display so like right now

00:04:45.840 --> 00:04:52.080
it's clearly not giving me 500 nits of brightness

00:04:49.199 --> 00:04:57.040
whereas it pops a lot more when we have a lot of

00:04:52.800 --> 00:04:58.479
darker stuff on the display

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

00:05:00.160 --> 00:05:05.919
about the screen some more so so although you might be kind of

00:05:04.080 --> 00:05:10.080
bummed out that on a whole white display you aren't getting the

00:05:07.600 --> 00:05:13.280
full brightness searing your eyeballs i kind of like it because

00:05:11.120 --> 00:05:17.680
in the past some OLED displays have just been too bright when you have

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

00:05:19.360 --> 00:05:25.039
it dips a bit but at the same time don't use this outside ever the

00:05:24.080 --> 00:05:30.320
uniformity looks pretty good that's another complaint that i had before

00:05:28.160 --> 00:05:33.360
on OLED displays on laptops like you get kind of just this

00:05:31.199 --> 00:05:37.280
grainy look over the whole thing when you have

00:05:34.320 --> 00:05:41.039
one color this looks really good there is a tiny bit of

00:05:38.960 --> 00:05:44.080
i guess you could call it oddness but it's not too bad

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

00:05:45.840 --> 00:05:51.680
speakers at the same time so this is only a 1920 by 1080p display

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

00:05:56.080 --> 00:05:59.199
this panel is awesome

00:05:59.280 --> 00:06:04.639
oh my god the black levels look at that

00:06:04.639 --> 00:06:08.240
speakers don't have much for balls though

00:06:12.080 --> 00:06:16.080
okay so the speakers are like fine on

00:06:15.280 --> 00:06:21.440
that but i'm actually getting the xps out here because its display is so freaking

00:06:20.800 --> 00:06:35.360
good ips versus OLED i believe they're both

00:06:24.080 --> 00:06:37.360
500 nits as well so

00:06:35.360 --> 00:06:40.160
yeah there's way more saturation on the ips

00:06:38.639 --> 00:06:48.319
i'll give you a quick little speaker test here as well

00:06:41.919 --> 00:06:52.639
this is the samsung

00:06:48.319 --> 00:06:54.479
it's not even a competition for display

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

00:06:56.319 --> 00:07:02.800
better black levels on the OLED but the ips that dell has here looks

00:07:00.960 --> 00:07:06.720
exceptional i feel like that just general display tuning will be the

00:07:05.280 --> 00:07:12.400
difference between which one of these looks better but i am very curious about what's

00:07:10.400 --> 00:07:16.160
actually going on in the samsung OLED so that it doesn't

00:07:13.759 --> 00:07:19.440
look like trash other oleds on laptops they didn't look good

00:07:17.199 --> 00:07:23.520
this one looks exceptional let's have a little look shall we

00:07:20.800 --> 00:07:26.960
now it's freaking nerd out time so grab your new microscope

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

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

00:07:33.520 --> 00:07:40.160
the xps which has an ips display we're at 90 times magnification and this

00:07:39.199 --> 00:07:44.319
thing is hair trigger for focus oh my god

00:07:42.960 --> 00:07:48.800
absolute piece of junk yeah we're seeing about 1.6 FPS whoever

00:07:47.440 --> 00:07:54.720
made this software um am scope hello uh fix it please

00:07:52.479 --> 00:07:57.759
but that's basically what it looks like and now

00:07:55.599 --> 00:08:00.720
i want to take a look at my phone which has an OLED display

00:07:58.960 --> 00:08:05.440
and i think that it uses the kind of cheatering method

00:08:02.080 --> 00:08:07.440
oh no it isn't a cheatery one on old

00:08:05.440 --> 00:08:10.800
school kind of like OLED stuff they would have it so that the blue sub

00:08:09.599 --> 00:08:14.800
pixels were bigger than the red and the green because it

00:08:12.960 --> 00:08:18.639
takes way more energy to create blue light because like

00:08:17.120 --> 00:08:22.240
wavelengths that crap you burn out your blue pixels way faster

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

00:08:25.440 --> 00:08:30.400
but it can be really hard on your eyes especially if you have like a slight

00:08:29.039 --> 00:08:33.919
stigmatism in one of them but as you can see the red green and

00:08:32.719 --> 00:08:38.719
blue pixels are all the same maybe you can't see

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

00:08:41.200 --> 00:08:46.480
on this but you get the picture whole bunch of little dots they're all

00:08:45.200 --> 00:08:50.160
very uniform that is what we are looking for on the

00:08:48.320 --> 00:08:53.839
samsung one here because if it has that similar kind of pixel arrangement

00:08:52.399 --> 00:08:59.760
that means they're not cheating for this generation and i am very excited

00:08:56.320 --> 00:09:03.360
to find out whoa this is

00:08:59.760 --> 00:09:05.519
so weird what the

00:09:03.360 --> 00:09:08.720
this is one of the weirdest subpixel arrangements that i've ever seen

00:09:07.200 --> 00:09:13.920
i feel like that they kind of took the pixel size of a 4k display

00:09:11.440 --> 00:09:18.080
yeah so you get the same number of red and green and blue pixels

00:09:15.760 --> 00:09:22.080
but it's so weird because the blues are much bigger

00:09:19.040 --> 00:09:23.040
and they're also sort of in a row so you

00:09:22.080 --> 00:09:27.600
get alternating red green red green red green red green

00:09:25.839 --> 00:09:34.080
and then there's rows of blue so they can be bigger and presumably

00:09:30.640 --> 00:09:35.839
less bright in the past that's made

00:09:34.080 --> 00:09:39.440
me feel terrible like it's given me headaches but for whatever reason

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

00:09:42.080 --> 00:09:48.839
4k i don't know but i like this one and judging by the

00:09:45.760 --> 00:09:51.279
subpixels i don't think i should

00:09:48.839 --> 00:09:54.480
wait what so do you remember how i was complaining

00:09:52.720 --> 00:09:58.959
about the chassis stiffness you can click the trackpad by pushing

00:09:56.880 --> 00:10:05.839
the bottom oh samsung come on

00:10:03.600 --> 00:10:10.079
but the good news is is that samsung's displays go into

00:10:07.279 --> 00:10:12.720
everything like every single OLED screen in a laptop that's on the market right

00:10:11.839 --> 00:10:17.440
now samsung makes it this right here despite

00:10:15.360 --> 00:10:21.760
me not really wanting to recommend this laptop it's not terrible it's pretty light

00:10:19.440 --> 00:10:27.600
what's the price on it jono this one right here has uh let's see

00:10:25.279 --> 00:10:30.560
oh see i can't click the touchpad when i'm holding in my hand

00:10:28.720 --> 00:10:33.040
because it's already clicked can you take the touchpad by just pressing down

00:10:32.240 --> 00:10:37.279
on the body yeah i can click the touchpad by just

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

00:10:40.880 --> 00:10:46.480
it'll be right here if it's like not all that expensive then

00:10:44.160 --> 00:10:51.760
sure go for it i guess oh it's so frustrating okay

00:10:49.680 --> 00:10:55.120
let's have a little chat samsung this laptop is infuriating because you got so

00:10:54.240 --> 00:10:58.880
much of it right this trackpad the size is great the feel

00:10:58.079 --> 00:11:04.160
is awesome it's really good whoever designed this trackpad give them a raise

00:11:02.079 --> 00:11:08.079
same with the keyboard this keyboard is awesome the click feel

00:11:05.760 --> 00:11:11.040
exceptional overall besides it being french

00:11:08.800 --> 00:11:15.519
really like it this display it's one of the best that i've ever seen

00:11:12.480 --> 00:11:17.680
in a laptop this chassis

00:11:15.519 --> 00:11:22.560
it's terrible i didn't expect it to make that sound but it really

00:11:19.440 --> 00:11:25.519
it really brings it home just

00:11:22.560 --> 00:11:29.519
invest in like even just a good stamped aluminum chassis

00:11:27.120 --> 00:11:33.680
and i would daily drive this laptop because otherwise

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

00:11:35.360 --> 00:11:42.320
looked at in a really long time it is so light this display is awesome

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

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

00:11:46.800 --> 00:11:51.920
if i went over the specs it has an i7 16 gigabytes of RAM

00:11:49.839 --> 00:11:55.519
uh oh this one right here actually has 5g which is freaking awesome another

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

00:11:57.519 --> 00:12:04.480
with this processor that is going to give you so much battery life

00:12:01.200 --> 00:12:06.160
it's probably like 12 hours plus

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

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

00:12:13.279 --> 00:12:19.680
so close to creating the best laptop on the market with this thing right here
