1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:06,640
so i signed up for dell's promotional newsletter a little while back because i

2
00:00:04,560 --> 00:00:12,800
bought something from dell and got signed up by accident thanks dell but

3
00:00:10,559 --> 00:00:17,199
every once in a while i do see something interesting in there

4
00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:20,640
a 200 laptop you say maybe that would be great for a back to

5
00:00:19,279 --> 00:00:26,080
school feature but our rep over there is a regular viewer

6
00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:31,760
so he was understandably hesitant to send us a base model of anything

7
00:00:29,439 --> 00:00:37,360
and said he'd prefer if we checked out the 400 version so

8
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:43,879
this thing then well there are three compelling reasons

9
00:00:40,160 --> 00:00:43,879
not to buy it

10
00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:55,440
cyber power pcs lineup of gaming desktops feature Intel 7th generation

11
00:00:52,719 --> 00:01:00,719
core i7 processors check them out at the link below

12
00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:05,280
reason number one not to buy this 400

13
00:01:00,719 --> 00:01:10,479
laptop this 200 one the best part of the

14
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:13,200
little blue inspiring p24t is the price

15
00:01:10,479 --> 00:01:17,520
the keyboard is pretty cramped the tn screen is kind of poop and it's far from

16
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:22,479
fast but it does exactly what it needs to do

17
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:25,040
and honestly exceeded our expectations for the price

18
00:01:23,759 --> 00:01:31,680
like come on this thing is hardly more than the cost

19
00:01:28,159 --> 00:01:34,400
of the included full copy of Windows 10

20
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:39,680
and after a bit of practice i was able to type quickly and easily write word

21
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:44,240
documents and forum posts with it thanks to the small but comfortable matte

22
00:01:42,159 --> 00:01:48,240
surface touch pad i mean i'm not sure that i'd want to use it to write up the

23
00:01:46,079 --> 00:01:52,720
script of my next big hollywood blockbuster but let's face it if i was

24
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:59,840
working on stuff like that on a regular basis i would have more than two hundred

25
00:01:55,360 --> 00:02:02,000
dollars for my laptop usability wise i

26
00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:06,560
can live with the single tasking paradigm enabled by the two core celeron

27
00:02:04,399 --> 00:02:11,520
processor for the most part and i'd say the screen is the biggest bummer colors

28
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:16,319
are pretty flat viewing angles aren't great and it doesn't get bright enough

29
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:21,440
for use outside but if you plan on watching youtube videos

30
00:02:18,239 --> 00:02:22,879
or netflix it'll be good enough and i

31
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:27,280
wouldn't go as far as to say it's actually terrible like other cheap

32
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:31,760
screens i've seen before the only true disappointment came when

33
00:02:30,319 --> 00:02:37,120
we opened it up i was hoping that it would be possible

34
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:41,920
to add a hard drive or SSD in the future and upgrade the RAM but they're both

35
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:46,720
soldered to the motherboard with no expansion slots so i guess in a nutshell

36
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:51,040
the best thing about this product is that there's nothing

37
00:02:48,319 --> 00:02:55,120
so bad as to make it a total deal breaker and at 200

38
00:02:52,879 --> 00:03:01,040
occasionally on sale for 150 that's all i can really ask for i can

39
00:02:57,920 --> 00:03:03,360
only really recommend it as a secondary

40
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:07,519
computer if you spent all your money on a desktop this will work great when you

41
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:11,040
need to go out into the real world god forbid

42
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:16,720
but it still scrapes by with a recommendation so why doesn't its 400

43
00:03:14,239 --> 00:03:21,360
dollar cousin get the same treatment reason number two

44
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:25,680
the inspiron p25t is pretty much more of the same

45
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:29,599
and sits right around the amount of money that lots of people think they

46
00:03:27,519 --> 00:03:34,400
want to spend on a laptop but our problem is that we don't feel

47
00:03:32,319 --> 00:03:38,959
like they're getting twice the experience for something that costs

48
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:43,840
twice as much upgrades on this guy include a 500 gig hard drive

49
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:50,159
double the RAM a two in one capable touchscreen and a slightly better

50
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:54,879
processor the issue though

51
00:03:50,159 --> 00:03:58,400
is that the 5400 RPM hard drive is slow

52
00:03:54,879 --> 00:04:02,080
as molasses and i mean maybe this is

53
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:05,200
microsoft's fault but Windows 10 chugs

54
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:08,239
on a mechanical drive

55
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:11,200
simple stuff like switching modes

56
00:04:08,239 --> 00:04:17,440
hitting the start menu opening files or really anything is just such a slog plus

57
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:22,880
with almost everything done on the internet now the need for large amounts

58
00:04:20,079 --> 00:04:27,759
of local storage is becoming

59
00:04:24,479 --> 00:04:29,680
very limited except in gaming rigs

60
00:04:27,759 --> 00:04:33,600
workstations or desktop computers with a large amount of

61
00:04:31,919 --> 00:04:39,040
storage because you put all your stuff on them so when you consider that the

62
00:04:35,919 --> 00:04:40,800
biggest problem is that we still need a

63
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:46,960
primary computer just like the 200 laptop but without the

64
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:51,840
practically disposable price tag to make it more palatable i mean to be clear

65
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:57,280
tablet conversion and touch will be important to some folks and the

66
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:58,560
performance is better but performance is

67
00:04:57,280 --> 00:05:02,800
better in a way that's only really noticeable if you compare them side by

68
00:05:00,639 --> 00:05:06,560
side like you're still buying the type of computer where you type in a web

69
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:10,960
address and then you take a sip of coffee while it loads

70
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:16,000
so what do we recommend then for someone who's on a budget but with more than two

71
00:05:13,280 --> 00:05:20,960
hundred dollars to spend reason number three for not buying this

72
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:27,680
the inspiron p69g i mean sure this isn't the be-all and

73
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:30,000
end-all of 800 laptops but it represents

74
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:34,639
the kind of improvements in productivity that you can get by increasing your

75
00:05:31,919 --> 00:05:40,800
budget to the bang for the buck level everything gets an upgrade with a core

76
00:05:37,199 --> 00:05:44,800
i5 processor 8 gigs of RAM decent i o

77
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:48,080
including HDMI and usb 3 an SSD and a

78
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:50,160
full hd ips touch display

79
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:54,160
it checks all the boxes that i would consider for a computer that i would

80
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:58,000
actually recommend to somebody that i like provided they don't need faster

81
00:05:56,000 --> 00:06:02,960
than one by one Wi-Fi i do realize that eight hundred dollars

82
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:08,000
is a big jump from four hundred dollars but these can regularly be found for

83
00:06:05,199 --> 00:06:13,680
under 700 and functionally speaking it's not even in the same ballpark as the

84
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:16,000
other two it's not startlingly fast sure

85
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:20,560
but i never got annoyed at it you don't have to worry about running out of RAM

86
00:06:17,759 --> 00:06:26,240
just from opening a few tabs and the processor is fast enough for some

87
00:06:23,840 --> 00:06:31,280
programming work some basic image editing matlab or even some light cad if

88
00:06:29,280 --> 00:06:36,960
you want to view small assemblies this kind of stuff is simply not possible on

89
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:40,720
the cheaper laptops so for this one then the outside is simple but the keyboard

90
00:06:39,199 --> 00:06:44,479
is satisfying enough that this whole review was typed on it without annoyance

91
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:49,600
the brushed plastic finish looks pretty smart and chassis rigidity is overall

92
00:06:47,039 --> 00:06:53,440
very good though i think the wobble on the two in one convertible touchscreen

93
00:06:51,280 --> 00:06:57,520
could be better and this model isn't available without it at the end of the

94
00:06:55,600 --> 00:07:01,280
day though the choice is yours battery life was decent across the board seems

95
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:06,560
that problem has pretty much been solved with low-end laptops the webcams on all

96
00:07:03,759 --> 00:07:11,919
three were comparable and surprisingly good although Windows hello on the 800

97
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:16,000
model is a really nice touch and all of them feature speakers that are

98
00:07:13,599 --> 00:07:21,039
comparable to a decent smartphone so not that great

99
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:24,160
wrapping this up though honestly i don't really have a special

100
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:28,479
relationship with any of these exact models from dell and the main goal of

101
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:33,680
this video was to hopefully help you narrow down your search in terms of

102
00:07:30,479 --> 00:07:35,440
pricing and the features that we think

103
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:38,880
matter when you're looking for a secondary laptop or a back to school

104
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:42,639
machine so you don't want to spend too much

105
00:07:41,199 --> 00:07:47,759
but you also don't want to spend too little but then also spending even less

106
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:51,599
might be even better than that optima is one of those brands that

107
00:07:49,599 --> 00:07:56,879
unless you've been seriously shopping for a high-end projector you might not

108
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:59,280
have ever encountered but

109
00:07:56,879 --> 00:08:03,360
they're worth encountering now if you're looking for a high quality

110
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:10,080
projector at two thousand dollars the optima uhd60 is not especially cheap but

111
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:16,960
what it is is an incredible value up until now 4k projectors have been much

112
00:08:13,919 --> 00:08:19,199
more expensive and the uhd60 features an

113
00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:23,360
abundance of image quality technologies including high dynamic range

114
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:27,599
compatibility for enhanced color and black and white

115
00:08:24,639 --> 00:08:32,800
dynamic black for amazing contrast and ultra detail for a clear crisp picture

116
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:38,240
basically in a nutshell it's got stunning picture quality for movies

117
00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:40,800
sports and gaming with great color black

118
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:44,640
levels clarity and detail pretty much no matter how big your

119
00:08:42,560 --> 00:08:47,440
screen is as to risk it actually does matter how big your screen is so bottom

120
00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:53,040
line it's a great bang for the buck with one of the best pictures available today

121
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:58,800
lots of features including lens shift which makes installation super a lot

122
00:08:55,600 --> 00:09:01,680
easier and it's the best price per inch

123
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:05,680
compared to any other 4k product tv or projector check it out at the link in
