00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:06.600
it's unclear to me whether Dell is trying to make my ever popular lol I

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

00:00:09.040 --> 00:00:16.160
suspenseful or whether they just want me to work harder to ruin their stuff but

00:00:14.000 --> 00:00:21.600
whatever their motivation was they sent over the latitude 12 rugged tablet for

00:00:18.840 --> 00:00:25.760
the lonus treatment and this device has made it very clear from the moment I

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

00:00:29.080 --> 00:00:38.719
parade

00:00:38.719 --> 00:00:44.520
the master case 5 by Cooler Master gives you the freedom to truly make your

00:00:42.280 --> 00:00:48.160
midtower PC case your own with a variety of modular parts and accessories check

00:00:46.559 --> 00:00:54.079
out the link in the video description to learn more so let's start with the

00:00:50.800 --> 00:00:56.359
physical tour this is one unusual tablet

00:00:54.079 --> 00:01:00.559
friend I think my wife probably put it best when she blurred it out oh my

00:00:58.120 --> 00:01:05.519
goodness it's really heavy the first time I handed it to her even without the

00:01:03.480 --> 00:01:09.720
optional keyboard cover and kickstand accessory and a secondary battery it

00:01:07.880 --> 00:01:16.000
weighs a whopping 1.62 kg that's over 3 lb which might

00:01:13.600 --> 00:01:22.439
seem kind of hilarious compared to the iPad Pro which has a larger display and

00:01:18.920 --> 00:01:25.079
weighs almost an entire kilogram less

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

00:01:27.079 --> 00:01:35.000
in the Octagon because the latitude 12 may be ugly and heavy but where it

00:01:32.040 --> 00:01:39.640
excels is in its ruggedness the corners are all covered in this stiff rubber

00:01:37.399 --> 00:01:44.040
material that feels like a great balance between strength and impact absorption

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

00:01:45.960 --> 00:01:52.119
fairly shortly and the rest of the frame of the device features a similarly

00:01:49.799 --> 00:01:56.759
grippy textured finish that makes it fairly easy to hold on to In Spite of

00:01:54.719 --> 00:02:00.640
its weight on the top you'll find a microphone pin hole a slider for the

00:01:58.560 --> 00:02:04.119
selfie camera protective cover I mean hey with all that NSA crap going on

00:02:02.159 --> 00:02:08.959
lately maybe that'll become a standard feature am I right anyway moving on uh

00:02:06.799 --> 00:02:13.160
you'll also find both the tether point and storage slot for the included soft

00:02:11.160 --> 00:02:18.440
tipped stylus and on the right you'll find the power button then covered by

00:02:15.239 --> 00:02:21.239
protective flaps a micro serial port a

00:02:18.440 --> 00:02:25.560
must for like scientific Expeditions where a lot of that equipment would look

00:02:23.440 --> 00:02:30.920
at USB like some kind of spaceman connector a USB 3 port for the more

00:02:27.959 --> 00:02:35.000
modern stuff and a power input on the bottom is the pogo plug dock connector

00:02:33.280 --> 00:02:39.879
that I'm using for the optional keyboard and trackpad accessory as well as RF

00:02:37.920 --> 00:02:43.640
passrs for both Wi-Fi and mobile internet in case you want to hook up to

00:02:41.239 --> 00:02:48.599
beefier antennas on the left is another mic pin hole a lone cooling exhaust port

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

00:02:51.120 --> 00:02:57.680
then around the back holy crap this thing has a lot of IO for a tablet

00:02:55.959 --> 00:03:02.239
there's a smart card reader at the top left with this placeholder in it that

00:02:59.560 --> 00:03:06.640
has common metric to Imperial conversions the Morse codes for both SOS

00:03:04.680 --> 00:03:11.280
and help and a guide for how to find North then right below that is a

00:03:08.400 --> 00:03:15.319
fingerprint reader an NFC contact Point another pogo plug accessory contact pad

00:03:13.599 --> 00:03:20.040
thing with mounting points around it a Super unexceptional 8 megapixel rear

00:03:17.239 --> 00:03:24.200
camera with flash and privacy cover and air intake and dual hot swappable

00:03:22.120 --> 00:03:29.480
batteries that manage an outstanding 5 and 1/2 hours of battery life in battery

00:03:26.680 --> 00:03:35.879
eater Pro with life remaining indicator l and finally a micro SIM slot hidden

00:03:32.720 --> 00:03:38.280
under the rightmost battery

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

00:03:42.599 --> 00:03:49.080
topped matte IPS display with a glove

00:03:46.599 --> 00:03:54.360
compatible 10p Point capacitive multi-touch interface that results in

00:03:51.840 --> 00:04:00.079
the image being readable but certainly not Crystal Clear when viewed off AIS

00:03:57.680 --> 00:04:06.079
but trades that for being love compatible and being functional even in

00:04:02.680 --> 00:04:08.280
the rain pretty cool it's accompanied by

00:04:06.079 --> 00:04:12.720
a rotation lock volume and Windows buttons and three additional

00:04:09.760 --> 00:04:18.440
programmable buttons below and also an unexceptional front camera woo sounds

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

00:04:22.320 --> 00:04:31.000
display resolution with like a quad core i7 and 32 gigs of RAM especially for

00:04:27.440 --> 00:04:33.199
that price right actually it doesn't

00:04:31.000 --> 00:04:38.240
it's got even more features I didn't mention yet like a vibration motor for

00:04:35.039 --> 00:04:40.120
notifications and GPS but when it comes

00:04:38.240 --> 00:04:44.479
through our horsepower the latitude 12 rugged comes up short with a Broadwell

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

00:04:47.639 --> 00:04:54.560
of solid state storage so if you were shopping based on price to Performance

00:04:52.440 --> 00:04:59.400
the latitude 12 rugged might end up on the short something but it certainly

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

00:05:01.360 --> 00:05:08.199
so let's go punish it it's rated at 1.22

00:05:05.680 --> 00:05:13.680
M of drop resistance while turned off and at just shy of a meter while

00:05:10.759 --> 00:05:18.680
operating blowing dust at it should not be a problem and neither should thermal

00:05:16.840 --> 00:05:23.800
extremes with a rated operating temperature range of all the way from

00:05:20.560 --> 00:05:27.160
-20° C to

00:05:23.800 --> 00:05:30.080
63° C seriously you would die of heat

00:05:27.160 --> 00:05:34.919
exhaustion before this tablet would an Ingress Protection rating of ip65 means

00:05:32.960 --> 00:05:40.160
that it should be able to withstand Jets of water from any direction and a bunch

00:05:37.919 --> 00:05:45.840
of other stuff that we don't really have the facilities to validate like what is

00:05:42.479 --> 00:05:48.080
explosive atmosphere but even though we

00:05:45.840 --> 00:05:52.720
couldn't run through all those tests I'm still impressed that it still works and

00:05:50.880 --> 00:05:56.960
by works I don't mean that it's an amazing Computing experience or anything

00:05:54.960 --> 00:06:02.319
like the keyboard cover and kickstand accessory that they sent me has a nice

00:05:59.639 --> 00:06:06.479
you know strong magnetic latch and a decent keyboard but probably the worst

00:06:04.720 --> 00:06:10.639
touchpad I've used in the last 10 years thanks to its use of resistive

00:06:08.000 --> 00:06:15.639
technology which is again about glove compatibility and not perfect tracking

00:06:13.039 --> 00:06:22.360
under office conditions and another issue is that like the rest of the

00:06:17.240 --> 00:06:26.199
accessories this thing is not cheap but

00:06:22.360 --> 00:06:28.240
with all that said it still works so if

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

00:06:30.080 --> 00:06:37.039
device that gives exactly zero cares about anything that could happen to it

00:06:34.400 --> 00:06:41.960
within reason then I guess mission accomplished the latitude 12 rugged is a

00:06:40.120 --> 00:06:48.080
pretty cool freaking device and on that subject Crunchyroll

00:06:44.720 --> 00:06:50.599
the site created by anime fans for anime

00:06:48.080 --> 00:06:55.520
fans and their sites got all kinds of great benefits for premium users which

00:06:53.680 --> 00:06:59.840
you should definitely try out by checking out the link in the video

00:06:56.720 --> 00:07:02.479
description you can get it free for $3

00:06:59.840 --> 00:07:08.000
days all you can eat so that includes 1080p streaming that includes access to

new shows within 24 hours of their premere in Japan with professionally

done subtitles and the ability to stream to a variety of devices not just your PC

so you can watch on your Roku or on your game console on your tablet your phone

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

00:07:24.759 --> 00:07:30.400
by start set I mean it costs only $6.95

00:07:28.039 --> 00:07:34.360
a month so head over to Crunchyroll / Linus to check out all the great content

00:07:32.879 --> 00:07:37.720

latest episodes of other stuff like Rocka gate usio and Tor monster mumi and

00:07:41.280 --> 00:07:47.840
