00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:06,600
it's unclear to me whether Dell is trying to make my ever popular lol I

2
00:00:04,720 --> 00:00:11,280
left my XPS out in the rain let's see if it Survived series of videos less

3
00:00:09,040 --> 00:00:16,160
suspenseful or whether they just want me to work harder to ruin their stuff but

4
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:21,600
whatever their motivation was they sent over the latitude 12 rugged tablet for

5
00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:25,760
the lonus treatment and this device has made it very clear from the moment I

6
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:30,010
first laid eyes on it that it's going to take more than a little rain to ruin its

7
00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:38,719
parade

8
00:00:38,719 --> 00:00:44,520
the master case 5 by Cooler Master gives you the freedom to truly make your

9
00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:48,160
midtower PC case your own with a variety of modular parts and accessories check

10
00:00:46,559 --> 00:00:54,079
out the link in the video description to learn more so let's start with the

11
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:56,359
physical tour this is one unusual tablet

12
00:00:54,079 --> 00:01:00,559
friend I think my wife probably put it best when she blurred it out oh my

13
00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:05,519
goodness it's really heavy the first time I handed it to her even without the

14
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:09,720
optional keyboard cover and kickstand accessory and a secondary battery it

15
00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:16,000
weighs a whopping 1.62 kg that's over 3 lb which might

16
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:22,439
seem kind of hilarious compared to the iPad Pro which has a larger display and

17
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:25,079
weighs almost an entire kilogram less

18
00:01:22,439 --> 00:01:29,600
but I do wonder how hard the iPad would be laughing if you dropped both of them

19
00:01:27,079 --> 00:01:35,000
in the Octagon because the latitude 12 may be ugly and heavy but where it

20
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:39,640
excels is in its ruggedness the corners are all covered in this stiff rubber

21
00:01:37,399 --> 00:01:44,040
material that feels like a great balance between strength and impact absorption

22
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:48,000
which I guess it better be since I'm planning to do some drop testing with it

23
00:01:45,960 --> 00:01:52,119
fairly shortly and the rest of the frame of the device features a similarly

24
00:01:49,799 --> 00:01:56,759
grippy textured finish that makes it fairly easy to hold on to In Spite of

25
00:01:54,719 --> 00:02:00,640
its weight on the top you'll find a microphone pin hole a slider for the

26
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:04,119
selfie camera protective cover I mean hey with all that NSA crap going on

27
00:02:02,159 --> 00:02:08,959
lately maybe that'll become a standard feature am I right anyway moving on uh

28
00:02:06,799 --> 00:02:13,160
you'll also find both the tether point and storage slot for the included soft

29
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:18,440
tipped stylus and on the right you'll find the power button then covered by

30
00:02:15,239 --> 00:02:21,239
protective flaps a micro serial port a

31
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:25,560
must for like scientific Expeditions where a lot of that equipment would look

32
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:30,920
at USB like some kind of spaceman connector a USB 3 port for the more

33
00:02:27,959 --> 00:02:35,000
modern stuff and a power input on the bottom is the pogo plug dock connector

34
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:39,879
that I'm using for the optional keyboard and trackpad accessory as well as RF

35
00:02:37,920 --> 00:02:43,640
passrs for both Wi-Fi and mobile internet in case you want to hook up to

36
00:02:41,239 --> 00:02:48,599
beefier antennas on the left is another mic pin hole a lone cooling exhaust port

37
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:53,440
and another flap with micro SD mini HDMI and a four pole 3 and half mm audio jack

38
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:57,680
then around the back holy crap this thing has a lot of IO for a tablet

39
00:02:55,959 --> 00:03:02,239
there's a smart card reader at the top left with this placeholder in it that

40
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:06,640
has common metric to Imperial conversions the Morse codes for both SOS

41
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:11,280
and help and a guide for how to find North then right below that is a

42
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:15,319
fingerprint reader an NFC contact Point another pogo plug accessory contact pad

43
00:03:13,599 --> 00:03:20,040
thing with mounting points around it a Super unexceptional 8 megapixel rear

44
00:03:17,239 --> 00:03:24,200
camera with flash and privacy cover and air intake and dual hot swappable

45
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:29,480
batteries that manage an outstanding 5 and 1/2 hours of battery life in battery

46
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:35,879
eater Pro with life remaining indicator l and finally a micro SIM slot hidden

47
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:38,280
under the rightmost battery

48
00:03:35,879 --> 00:03:46,599
pack moving around to the front is an 11.6 in 1366 X 768 Gorilla Glass thre

49
00:03:42,599 --> 00:03:49,080
topped matte IPS display with a glove

50
00:03:46,599 --> 00:03:54,360
compatible 10p Point capacitive multi-touch interface that results in

51
00:03:51,840 --> 00:04:00,079
the image being readable but certainly not Crystal Clear when viewed off AIS

52
00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:06,079
but trades that for being love compatible and being functional even in

53
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:08,280
the rain pretty cool it's accompanied by

54
00:04:06,079 --> 00:04:12,720
a rotation lock volume and Windows buttons and three additional

55
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:18,440
programmable buttons below and also an unexceptional front camera woo sounds

56
00:04:16,280 --> 00:04:24,800
great lonus so I'm sure this Beast of a tablet is making up for its 2006 era

57
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:31,000
display resolution with like a quad core i7 and 32 gigs of RAM especially for

58
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:33,199
that price right actually it doesn't

59
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:38,240
it's got even more features I didn't mention yet like a vibration motor for

60
00:04:35,039 --> 00:04:40,120
notifications and GPS but when it comes

61
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:44,479
through our horsepower the latitude 12 rugged comes up short with a Broadwell

62
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:50,120
based Coram dual core up to 8 gigs of RAM Intel HD graphics and up to 512 gigs

63
00:04:47,639 --> 00:04:54,560
of solid state storage so if you were shopping based on price to Performance

64
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:59,400
the latitude 12 rugged might end up on the short something but it certainly

65
00:04:56,479 --> 00:05:05,680
wouldn't be a list of course that's not why anyone would buy this thing anyway

66
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:08,199
so let's go punish it it's rated at 1.22

67
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:13,680
M of drop resistance while turned off and at just shy of a meter while

68
00:05:10,759 --> 00:05:18,680
operating blowing dust at it should not be a problem and neither should thermal

69
00:05:16,840 --> 00:05:23,800
extremes with a rated operating temperature range of all the way from

70
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:27,160
-20° C to

71
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:30,080
63° C seriously you would die of heat

72
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:34,919
exhaustion before this tablet would an Ingress Protection rating of ip65 means

73
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:40,160
that it should be able to withstand Jets of water from any direction and a bunch

74
00:05:37,919 --> 00:05:45,840
of other stuff that we don't really have the facilities to validate like what is

75
00:05:42,479 --> 00:05:48,080
explosive atmosphere but even though we

76
00:05:45,840 --> 00:05:52,720
couldn't run through all those tests I'm still impressed that it still works and

77
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:56,960
by works I don't mean that it's an amazing Computing experience or anything

78
00:05:54,960 --> 00:06:02,319
like the keyboard cover and kickstand accessory that they sent me has a nice

79
00:05:59,639 --> 00:06:06,479
you know strong magnetic latch and a decent keyboard but probably the worst

80
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:10,639
touchpad I've used in the last 10 years thanks to its use of resistive

81
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:15,639
technology which is again about glove compatibility and not perfect tracking

82
00:06:13,039 --> 00:06:22,360
under office conditions and another issue is that like the rest of the

83
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:26,199
accessories this thing is not cheap but

84
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:28,240
with all that said it still works so if

85
00:06:26,199 --> 00:06:32,400
Dell's objective was to take the fwn out of my rain torture videos by building a

86
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:37,039
device that gives exactly zero cares about anything that could happen to it

87
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:41,960
within reason then I guess mission accomplished the latitude 12 rugged is a

88
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:48,080
pretty cool freaking device and on that subject Crunchyroll

89
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:50,599
the site created by anime fans for anime

90
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:55,520
fans and their sites got all kinds of great benefits for premium users which

91
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:59,840
you should definitely try out by checking out the link in the video

97
00:07:20,599 --> 00:07:28,039
whatever else the case may be and it starts at only 6.95 a month and I guess

98
00:07:24,759 --> 00:07:30,400
by start set I mean it costs only $6.95

99
00:07:28,039 --> 00:07:34,360
a month so head over to Crunchyroll / Linus to check out all the great content
