how rugged is the devil rugged upstream well it's
pretty freaking rugged i think
this thing is one heck of a good
laptop i think and i really hope it's fine
the don't worry extreme yeah you can see where the shovel hit it
she's fine she's fine oh i need to take on my sweater LTT
store.com this is the dell latitude 7330
rugged extreme and it is one beast of a laptop if there's a laptop that you want
to take i don't know into the middle of the desert to antarctica kind of
anywhere that's just very bad for laptops this is the laptop you want
let's have a little look where's the i o do you see the i o andy
yeah this thing is waterproof so in order to get the i o you have to push
down there and then it's behind this little waterproof door
holy frig there's been such a trend towards less
and less i o on laptops so you've got two usb type a's
Thunderbolt HDMI and is that
serial port we also have Ethernet another usb type a
another Thunderbolt mini sd card reader and a sim slot over here and this i
believe is a smart card reader now you would use that for like authentication
say that you're somewhere that has very high security someone would need their
own special physical card to put in here in order to unlock the laptop oh okay
cool this thing is latched like proper latch
do you have to push down right here in order to get it open what a beast just look at it
okay maybe maybe starting the video with hitting with a shovel wasn't the
best idea ever but it's fine there we go it's totally fine you loved
it so in here we have our charger
it is 90 watts over usb type-c lovely
can can you even open this thing up without just like a couple things like
that i don't think you should oh it's a touch screen just found that
out okay first thing here this screen is
wicked watch this
is your camera clipping handy excellent 1400 nits from this panel and what the
macbook says 1600 they're liars this one's actually 1400 this
is apple's 1600 nit display and this is
dell's actually 1400 hits display
how does that look on your camera there andy
yeah that's brighter the dowel is brighter yeah the dell's way brighter
like you can just see it with your eyeballs super easily one thing i am
noticing is that this uh this trackpad really sucks there's a good reason for
it though uh do we have some gloves around here yeah compared to something
like the dell xps 15 this track pad right here fantastic love to use it this
one is uh not not the best it's kind of
weird but if you look here
now it doesn't work at all i have some gloves on
and the track pad on the xps 15 is completely useless whereas on the rugged
extreme it works just as well as before i wouldn't say it works great but it
works just as well as before the touchscreen worked too oh beautiful
you can touch screen around yeah the touchscreen is supposed to work
with gloves on uh just confirm not working too great on the rugged though
it's it's yeah that doesn't work too great the
trackpad works well though okay
okay for the processor in here we have the Intel i7 1185 g7 now compared to a
12th gen counterpart of this it is gonna be a lot slower this has four cores
eight threads that said on a machine that's purpose is more like
doing that i'm a lot less concerned about which generation they have and
more so they're just gonna be focused on it works they know 11th gen works it's
been out for over a year they don't have to worry about weird driver issues and
crap like that ruining your day this thing
up time's way more important than just having a couple extra cores
remember we have 16 gigabytes at 40 to
67 mega transfers per second that's weird but whatever sure also a 500
Gigabyte SSD from samsung probably a pretty fast one then wi-fi 6e wicked and
iris xc graphics which are working pretty hard at the moment actually to
screen record this ah the crab rave doesn't sound quite right like
what's up andy yeah no

at the link below to save 10 today back to crap rave here these speakers are
supposed to be super loud not good sounding just loud
oh
it is loud it's hurting my ears a little bit um i would not say it's pleasant
in any way yeah that's better
well uh yeah those speakers are bad but very loud
what can it do oh it sees your eyeballs well the screen doesn't look great it
hurts your ears but doesn't sound very good and uh you can paddle someone with
it yeah you could like i don't know
oh or you can just accidentally spill a bunch of water on it while you're drinking from your water
bottle and you can't do that with most laptops okay there we go
okay aside from being waterproof the keyboard actually isn't all that bad
you do need a little bit more force than most laptops require there's heaps of
travel kinda mushy but at the same time like once you get used to it you're
gonna be able to type super fast on this thing i guess another thing that you
completely do not have to worry about is deck flex like
a lot of laptops like i'm really giving it right now like this that's
a lot of weight and this thing is just not flexing at all
yeah i'll break the desk before i break this thing
holy freak
oh yeah delrite extreme so much better for gloves even though it does have a
little bit more force required to do the actuation
it makes it so much easier to not mistype when you have a glove with the xps 15 like the whole finger was just
hitting like three keys at a time this one right here it's difficult and you
have to hand pack it but at the same time you can okay okay
it's doing it it's doing it it's playing valheim at 720p at what feels kind of
like almost 60 FPS occasionally less than
that this is not too bad the screen uh the contrast ratio is not
very great like compared to an OLED or something the
black levels are not fantastic but i don't think it's supposed to be so
whatever but do you know what this can do
that no other gaming laptop is able to so we're running you know running not
plugged in you can uh just
remove the battery and just keep on going totally fine
there's two of them and they're hot swappable so i think between these each
one's 53.5 watt hours so if you had this
much capacity in a single battery you wouldn't be allowed on a plane but
because two of them it's fine and also since it's hot swappable if you're you
know out in the field you can just have a couple of these batteries and be like
okay hey uh battery's almost dead boom
take her out then put the other one in battery's full again
beautiful all right a couple more things before we
open her up the webcam it has a physical shutter so
if you look here there we go now you can see it
now you can't all right how was this webcam uh first of all we lost footage
from the first one so that's why i look different but anyway
this looks it almost looks like there's like a facial smoothing feature i think
it's just a very soft webcam but at the same time like
i look so smooth right now the exposure
is working quite well like it is exposing properly for my face and if i
like move away it's yeah it seems like it's totally fine
let's move it over here a little bit yep it's doing a great job
good job dale you didn't totally screw this one up also fingerprint reader
right over here if you want to get in without you know dealing with passwords
and stuff should we take it apart now the rugged extreme is one of the most repairable
laptops on the market it is just freaking great so first of all battery
replacement we already showed that but you know boom there's one out
there's two it takes a matter of seconds can you even just check it oh cool you
can also just check the battery life when you don't even have plugged in
for storage there's a single screw right here let's take that out and then
yep yep nice and easy there's our SSD very
easy to replace i haven't taken one of these apart for a while so i kind of
forgot what you have to do let's just start removing screws and see what happens oh one thing that's really cool
before we open it all the way up see all these pads right here those are contacts
so that you can connect it to like a big old frame so it mounts in like a police
car or an ambulance or something like that now that's why the outer shell of
this is essentially the same as the last model because you know no one's going to
upgrade if they have to change out their mounts and accessories and stuff at the
same time so this right here complete drop and replace now we have a lot of
screws and tell how a rug it is by that's all that happened when i hit it
with a shovel oh we did it i think so oh
there's only 31 screws yeah
one thing that's really cool about this laptop is that the i o i believe can be
swapped uh how would you do that
okay the i o i believe can be swapped but we're not going to screw with that
because it looks like half a time also like
look at how many in is this for wi-fi
what the this probably is partially to do with there being a sim card
but look at the freaking antennas on this thing as well one two three four
five six seven eight nine antennas
inside of it they're snaking all over the place this thing must get incredible
reception okay oh so this one's gps i guess this
one's lan okay there's also another PCIe
slot right here so i guess you could use that for storage but uh
oh yeah there's another couple antennas right here so that's almost definitely if you
want to have an internal sim card one thing you might have been wondering
though this thing is waterproof
but it doesn't immediately overheat how do they get the heat out
while not letting water in it's actually really cool so the CPU is under here
then the heat pipes come out and around then there's a gasket right there and
gasket goes all the way around actually and that allows you to have it so that
this fan spins the air goes out here and
i guess water can get in but whatever who cares you just do water
cooling your laptop and then water isn't able to get into the rest of the chassis
and screw around with your components one thing that's kind of disappointing
is that i can't seem to find where you would upgrade the RAM it might just be
soldered down which is a little bit disappointing especially given that like
how many laptops are you able to swap the i o on but you can't swap the RAM it
seems like a little bit of an oversight but i'll allow it the price is something
else uh for this guy how we have it here it's what 4 100
starts at forty three hundred dollars
and goes up from there uh you're paying for i guess
this magnesium and this gasket and all of the testing that they have done uh
editor please put a testing video up right here it's it's hilarious it's some
of the funniest stuff that i've ever seen not covered by warranty though they they
did mention that but yeah if you're just a regular person i don't think you're
gonna buy one of these if you're a paramedic or working in an oil field or
i don't know go in and you need something to be able to whack a
polar bear in the head with this is the laptop that you want
so huge thanks to dell for giving us this weapon and huge thanks for watching
this video hit like get subscribed and just have a great day
