1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:09,510 so the other day I'm watching a video for the audio rs6 Avant and thinking 2 00:00:05,240 --> 00:00:11,370 that's a really nice car that I'm never 3 00:00:09,510 --> 00:00:16,920 going to buy because it's literally what like five times more expensive than a 4 00:00:14,190 --> 00:00:23,189 Golf GTI and you get what it's definitely faster it's better but like 5 00:00:20,730 --> 00:00:28,710 realistically day-to-day how different is it going to be which brings us to the 6 00:00:25,380 --> 00:00:32,520 Inspiron 15 7000 you know it's 7 00:00:28,710 --> 00:00:34,469 definitely no rs6 Avant but at the same 8 00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:39,239 time it probably does everything that you need a laptop to do so uh let's get 9 00:00:37,950 --> 00:00:47,370 into it and see if you know it actually lives up to that looking in here we've 10 00:00:42,930 --> 00:00:49,350 got um well not a whole lot we've got 11 00:00:47,370 --> 00:00:59,460 some basic just cardboard that looks like it was recycled and I think the 12 00:00:51,870 --> 00:01:03,180 power bricks over here that's 130 watts 13 00:00:59,460 --> 00:01:08,790 so powerful but not SuperDuper powerful 14 00:01:03,180 --> 00:01:11,100 so uh here it is the Inspiron 15 7000 15 00:01:08,790 --> 00:01:15,990 this one right here has I'd say respectable ports but nothing amazing so 16 00:01:13,290 --> 00:01:20,790 we have an SD card reader I'll turn that around so you guys can see it so we have 17 00:01:17,790 --> 00:01:23,460 an SD card reader USB type a combo 18 00:01:20,790 --> 00:01:28,710 headphone microphone port around the other side we have full size HDMI two 19 00:01:25,439 --> 00:01:30,689 USB Taipei's and Oh a Thunderbolt port 20 00:01:28,710 --> 00:01:35,909 you normally don't expect to see that on something that's at this price this is 21 00:01:32,340 --> 00:01:38,369 just over a thousand dollars so you know 22 00:01:35,909 --> 00:01:44,909 have that context when we go into this like does it feel like an XPS 15 of 23 00:01:43,020 --> 00:01:50,610 course it doesn't this thing is not made out of carbon fiber but at the same time 24 00:01:47,460 --> 00:01:53,220 it feels pretty damn good like I'm I'm 25 00:01:50,610 --> 00:01:58,560 giving it a lot of flexing twisting right now and it's really not giving up 26 00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:59,880 like the actual screen isn't the 27 00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:09,209 stiffest it seemed I'm pretty sure that's all it's moved yeah the screen isn't super duper stiff but also who is 28 00:02:05,759 --> 00:02:10,349 doing this all day long I'm not no I 29 00:02:09,209 --> 00:02:13,270 don't believe it's touched yeah it's not touch screen so you don't really have to 30 00:02:12,330 --> 00:02:20,320 worry about that too too much kind of so it looks like that 31 00:02:16,780 --> 00:02:21,820 there's a very small amount of the thing 32 00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:26,320 that a lot of laptops do these days where it lifts up the base as you open 33 00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:31,120 the screen although it kind of looks like it's more so just a thing that 34 00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:37,540 happens as opposed to a feature like there's rubber right here but it has 35 00:02:34,990 --> 00:02:41,890 such a small amount of lift that I can't really imagine that it's doing anything 36 00:02:40,060 --> 00:02:45,390 for like the thermals or the keyboard position or anything so we're looking at 37 00:02:44,230 --> 00:02:51,640 a core i7 9750 H which is a six core processor and 38 00:02:49,030 --> 00:02:56,410 pretty damn fast I would have to say it's not gonna you know it's not an 39 00:02:54,490 --> 00:03:02,230 eight core processor it's not a ninety nine eighty HK or whatever but I imagine 40 00:02:59,830 --> 00:03:05,110 for the vast majority of people if you want to like well surfing the web 41 00:03:03,820 --> 00:03:08,440 obviously it's going to be good enough but probably oh you say mark this is 42 00:03:07,060 --> 00:03:14,200 probably good for like like video editing actually kind of intense video 43 00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:19,000 editing really what would not be fine is that it only has eight gigabytes of RAM 44 00:03:16,540 --> 00:03:24,280 and we can fix that later we'll get there 45 00:03:19,870 --> 00:03:27,100 so disk we get a 512 Gigabyte NVMe SSD 46 00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:31,720 which is actually fairly nice to have at this price point you'd normally expect 47 00:03:29,050 --> 00:03:35,470 to see like 256 and maybe a hard drive something like that we've got Intel 48 00:03:33,580 --> 00:03:42,700 Wireless which probably means it's pretty good I believe it's 2x2 I don't 49 00:03:38,590 --> 00:03:44,500 think we get Wi-Fi 6 but it's probably 50 00:03:42,700 --> 00:03:48,690 more than fast enough for basically everyone and finally the most 51 00:03:46,900 --> 00:03:57,010 disappointing part of the whole thing the NVIDIA GeForce gtx 1050 it's it's a 52 00:03:54,459 --> 00:04:03,550 1050 come on guys it's I would have been way happier if they had have included a 53 00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:05,590 1650 I think the 1650 is what like 4050 54 00:04:03,550 --> 00:04:09,970 percent faster than a 1050 that's to come that's the kind of performance that 55 00:04:07,540 --> 00:04:12,970 can actually deliver a good gaming experience whereas for this right here 56 00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:15,430 you're going to be like well I don't know I have a star to valley background 57 00:04:14,530 --> 00:04:21,680 on here so you're gonna be playing stardew valley or like I don't know DotA csgo something like that and not 58 00:04:19,260 --> 00:04:26,430 SuperDuper well 10:50 yeah it's just kind of 59 00:04:24,330 --> 00:04:30,060 disappointing but at the same time this isn't a gaming laptop you're not going 60 00:04:28,110 --> 00:04:33,180 to be using it to game all day every day oh there's a calculator button we're 61 00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:40,440 here anytime that you need to calculate something just Boop this is my new 62 00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:42,270 favorite feature just oh yeah clear get 63 00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:45,990 right back in plus - oh that's nice thing I'm glad they thought of that and 64 00:04:44,250 --> 00:04:51,270 I'm also really glad it has a number pad I feel like that way too many laptops 65 00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:57,330 these days just completely give up on it even though they might have the space I 66 00:04:54,110 --> 00:04:59,090 personally use it all the time I don't 67 00:04:57,330 --> 00:05:04,110 know my background is like in engineering so I think of like using 68 00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:09,960 Excel and MATLAB all day as kind of like the main use case other people might not 69 00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:12,870 be doing that but even so I just really like even just the Enter key here I 70 00:05:11,310 --> 00:05:18,540 really like hitting it with my thumb I'd say everything that I felt so far just 71 00:05:14,700 --> 00:05:20,550 kind of works like this trackpad is it's 72 00:05:18,540 --> 00:05:27,030 not glass soft and the click doesn't feel great but at the same time it's 73 00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:29,070 pretty large given and I really can't 74 00:05:27,030 --> 00:05:40,950 complain about how it feels like it's it's just a trackpad as for the keyboard 75 00:05:35,090 --> 00:05:42,690 notepad just kind of feeling the keys it 76 00:05:40,950 --> 00:05:48,780 feel like the stability is pretty good if you like really press down there is 77 00:05:46,100 --> 00:05:53,100 definite movement although when I'm actually typing I would say it is 78 00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:57,480 totally acceptable let's get back to the whole problem that I was talking about 79 00:05:54,510 --> 00:06:04,470 before where this thing only has 8 gigabytes of RAM room so hopefully these 80 00:06:01,500 --> 00:06:11,330 are all the same type of screw AHA there we go so yeah definitely guitar pick 81 00:06:08,220 --> 00:06:15,810 required to get this one apart so close 82 00:06:11,330 --> 00:06:17,610 things a jerk oh don't turn on this is 83 00:06:15,810 --> 00:06:26,970 really not a good time to turn on why do you keep on turning on all right let's 84 00:06:23,220 --> 00:06:29,880 get you turned off this is absolutely 85 00:06:26,970 --> 00:06:34,560 not the time for this Dell shut down and stay shut down holy crap so I guess now 86 00:06:32,790 --> 00:06:39,870 that we are in here it's a 56 watt era battery is pretty good in this price range well 87 00:06:37,860 --> 00:06:46,230 actually that's exactly what you get in this price range basically alright so we 88 00:06:41,790 --> 00:06:50,400 have 8 gigs of 2066 memory in here right 89 00:06:46,230 --> 00:06:52,620 here I've got 16 gigs of DDR4 20 66 90 00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:56,430 memory from a time Tec they're just cheap RAM that you can get on Amazon 91 00:06:54,690 --> 00:07:01,110 basically that's kind of the whole selling point one of these guys right 92 00:06:58,590 --> 00:07:07,920 here is 31 dollars so the whole kit was 62 hopefully we can just toss one of 93 00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:11,400 them in and it'll be happy we might need 94 00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:13,230 to put in the whole kit because RAM just 95 00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:17,970 doesn't always play nice with other RAM and then we also have there's another m2 96 00:07:15,750 --> 00:07:23,130 slot here so you could actually like have a lot of storage in this thing 97 00:07:20,220 --> 00:07:27,450 quite easily between like a hard drive to Emma to maybe put them in raid zero 98 00:07:25,890 --> 00:07:31,590 I'm actually pretty happy with this as far as you know like a budget very 99 00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:35,700 upgradable little laptop I'm gonna put this back on although I just want to 100 00:07:33,780 --> 00:07:42,420 take your day with this SSD is hilarious just look at that 512 gigabytes in this 101 00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:47,730 thing if you show me that a couple years ago I'm like no way how do they even do 102 00:07:45,900 --> 00:07:51,990 it is it DRAM list that's a great question actually it's probably the 103 00:07:49,740 --> 00:07:58,530 exact same one that was in the Dell system that we got from Best Buy and it 104 00:07:54,990 --> 00:08:01,770 probably is DRAM 'less but uses the 105 00:07:58,530 --> 00:08:03,960 memory on the computer like it talks to 106 00:08:01,770 --> 00:08:08,280 it could you yes you can definitely upgrade this to full size like if you 107 00:08:05,910 --> 00:08:13,169 look here you can just move the little mounting bracket back here and the 108 00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:17,160 heatsink goes like it travels the whole length so you won't have any issues if 109 00:08:14,790 --> 00:08:21,330 you want to put in a full sized and got to drive in here yep there we go didn't 110 00:08:20,010 --> 00:08:26,490 touch the power button but it's already turning on this thing just absolutely 111 00:08:23,910 --> 00:08:31,380 loves that warning Oh warning the amount of system memory 112 00:08:29,190 --> 00:08:36,150 has changed it most certainly has that's a good warning right there so let's just 113 00:08:33,780 --> 00:08:40,800 hit enter so it looks like that we're gonna get away with just putting in only 114 00:08:37,979 --> 00:08:47,220 one of these sticks of RAM which means that really you know six cores a 10 fit 115 00:08:44,490 --> 00:08:50,070 well at the ten fifty but like you know six cores you 116 00:08:48,930 --> 00:08:56,880 be able to do quite a bit with this thing once you have enough RAM in there so for the same price you can get a 117 00:08:54,810 --> 00:09:00,540 gaming laptop that's more powerful if that's what you're going for 118 00:08:58,950 --> 00:09:05,190 this is probably powerful enough for almost everyone unless all that you plan 119 00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:09,000 on doing is gaming I say that the main advantage of going with the Inspiron 120 00:09:06,810 --> 00:09:14,570 over say like a g5 or something like that is that it just doesn't look stupid 121 00:09:12,420 --> 00:09:19,950 like you can take this thing right here into like office hours with your prof 122 00:09:17,430 --> 00:09:24,120 and they're going to be like oh this person probably wants help instead of oh 123 00:09:21,870 --> 00:09:27,690 this person is probably struggling because they've been playing League of 124 00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:32,430 Legends all day it's not the best machine ever like it's you know it's not 125 00:09:30,390 --> 00:09:36,690 made of a freaking carbon fiber but at the same time it's gonna do basically 126 00:09:34,890 --> 00:09:41,399 everything that you need as long as you don't need the most powerful gaming 127 00:09:38,459 --> 00:09:45,570 laptop around 4000 bucks I'd say it's pretty solid well I guess that about 128 00:09:42,990 --> 00:09:51,510 wraps it up here I get subscribed hit the like bell whatever 129 00:09:47,690 --> 00:09:54,649 do we have an oak tree for this this is 130 00:09:51,510 --> 00:09:54,649 it alright see you later
