WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:09.510
so the other day I'm watching a video for the audio rs6 Avant and thinking

00:00:05.240 --> 00:00:11.370
that's a really nice car that I'm never

00:00:09.510 --> 00:00:16.920
going to buy because it's literally what like five times more expensive than a

00:00:14.190 --> 00:00:23.189
Golf GTI and you get what it's definitely faster it's better but like

00:00:20.730 --> 00:00:28.710
realistically day-to-day how different is it going to be which brings us to the

00:00:25.380 --> 00:00:32.520
Inspiron 15 7000 you know it's

00:00:28.710 --> 00:00:34.469
definitely no rs6 Avant but at the same

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

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

00:00:42.930 --> 00:00:49.350
got um well not a whole lot we've got

00:00:47.370 --> 00:00:59.460
some basic just cardboard that looks like it was recycled and I think the

00:00:51.870 --> 00:01:03.180
power bricks over here that's 130 watts

00:00:59.460 --> 00:01:08.790
so powerful but not SuperDuper powerful

00:01:03.180 --> 00:01:11.100
so uh here it is the Inspiron 15 7000

00:01:08.790 --> 00:01:15.990
this one right here has I'd say respectable ports but nothing amazing so

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

00:01:17.790 --> 00:01:23.460
an SD card reader USB type a combo

00:01:20.790 --> 00:01:28.710
headphone microphone port around the other side we have full size HDMI two

00:01:25.439 --> 00:01:30.689
USB Taipei's and Oh a Thunderbolt port

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

00:01:32.340 --> 00:01:38.369
just over a thousand dollars so you know

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

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

00:01:47.460 --> 00:01:53.220
it feels pretty damn good like I'm I'm

00:01:50.610 --> 00:01:58.560
giving it a lot of flexing twisting right now and it's really not giving up

00:01:55.200 --> 00:01:59.880
like the actual screen isn't the

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

00:02:05.759 --> 00:02:10.349
doing this all day long I'm not no I

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

00:02:12.330 --> 00:02:20.320
worry about that too too much kind of so it looks like that

00:02:16.780 --> 00:02:21.820
there's a very small amount of the thing

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

00:02:25.000 --> 00:02:31.120
the screen although it kind of looks like it's more so just a thing that

00:02:28.360 --> 00:02:37.540
happens as opposed to a feature like there's rubber right here but it has

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

00:02:40.060 --> 00:02:45.390
for like the thermals or the keyboard position or anything so we're looking at

00:02:44.230 --> 00:02:51.640
a core i7 9750 H which is a six core processor and

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

00:02:54.490 --> 00:03:02.230
eight core processor it's not a ninety nine eighty HK or whatever but I imagine

00:02:59.830 --> 00:03:05.110
for the vast majority of people if you want to like well surfing the web

00:03:03.820 --> 00:03:08.440
obviously it's going to be good enough but probably oh you say mark this is

00:03:07.060 --> 00:03:14.200
probably good for like like video editing actually kind of intense video

00:03:11.320 --> 00:03:19.000
editing really what would not be fine is that it only has eight gigabytes of RAM

00:03:16.540 --> 00:03:24.280
and we can fix that later we'll get there

00:03:19.870 --> 00:03:27.100
so disk we get a 512 Gigabyte NVMe SSD

00:03:24.280 --> 00:03:31.720
which is actually fairly nice to have at this price point you'd normally expect

00:03:29.050 --> 00:03:35.470
to see like 256 and maybe a hard drive something like that we've got Intel

00:03:33.580 --> 00:03:42.700
Wireless which probably means it's pretty good I believe it's 2x2 I don't

00:03:38.590 --> 00:03:44.500
think we get Wi-Fi 6 but it's probably

00:03:42.700 --> 00:03:48.690
more than fast enough for basically everyone and finally the most

00:03:46.900 --> 00:03:57.010
disappointing part of the whole thing the NVIDIA GeForce gtx 1050 it's it's a

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

00:03:59.800 --> 00:04:05.590
1650 I think the 1650 is what like 4050

00:04:03.550 --> 00:04:09.970
percent faster than a 1050 that's to come that's the kind of performance that

00:04:07.540 --> 00:04:12.970
can actually deliver a good gaming experience whereas for this right here

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

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

00:04:19.260 --> 00:04:26.430
SuperDuper well 10:50 yeah it's just kind of

00:04:24.330 --> 00:04:30.060
disappointing but at the same time this isn't a gaming laptop you're not going

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

00:04:32.040 --> 00:04:40.440
here anytime that you need to calculate something just Boop this is my new

00:04:35.400 --> 00:04:42.270
favorite feature just oh yeah clear get

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

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

00:04:48.360 --> 00:04:57.330
these days just completely give up on it even though they might have the space I

00:04:54.110 --> 00:04:59.090
personally use it all the time I don't

00:04:57.330 --> 00:05:04.110
know my background is like in engineering so I think of like using

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

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

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

00:05:14.700 --> 00:05:20.550
kind of works like this trackpad is it's

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

00:05:22.800 --> 00:05:29.070
pretty large given and I really can't

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

00:05:35.090 --> 00:05:42.690
notepad just kind of feeling the keys it

00:05:40.950 --> 00:05:48.780
feel like the stability is pretty good if you like really press down there is

00:05:46.100 --> 00:05:53.100
definite movement although when I'm actually typing I would say it is

00:05:51.120 --> 00:05:57.480
totally acceptable let's get back to the whole problem that I was talking about

00:05:54.510 --> 00:06:04.470
before where this thing only has 8 gigabytes of RAM room so hopefully these

00:06:01.500 --> 00:06:11.330
are all the same type of screw AHA there we go so yeah definitely guitar pick

00:06:08.220 --> 00:06:15.810
required to get this one apart so close

00:06:11.330 --> 00:06:17.610
things a jerk oh don't turn on this is

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

00:06:23.220 --> 00:06:29.880
get you turned off this is absolutely

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

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

00:06:37.860 --> 00:06:46.230
actually that's exactly what you get in this price range basically alright so we

00:06:41.790 --> 00:06:50.400
have 8 gigs of 2066 memory in here right

00:06:46.230 --> 00:06:52.620
here I've got 16 gigs of DDR4 20 66

00:06:50.400 --> 00:06:56.430
memory from a time Tec they're just cheap RAM that you can get on Amazon

00:06:54.690 --> 00:07:01.110
basically that's kind of the whole selling point one of these guys right

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

00:07:04.440 --> 00:07:11.400
them in and it'll be happy we might need

00:07:07.920 --> 00:07:13.230
to put in the whole kit because RAM just

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

00:07:15.750 --> 00:07:23.130
slot here so you could actually like have a lot of storage in this thing

00:07:20.220 --> 00:07:27.450
quite easily between like a hard drive to Emma to maybe put them in raid zero

00:07:25.890 --> 00:07:31.590
I'm actually pretty happy with this as far as you know like a budget very

00:07:29.400 --> 00:07:35.700
upgradable little laptop I'm gonna put this back on although I just want to

00:07:33.780 --> 00:07:42.420
take your day with this SSD is hilarious just look at that 512 gigabytes in this

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

00:07:45.900 --> 00:07:51.990
it is it DRAM list that's a great question actually it's probably the

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

00:07:54.990 --> 00:08:01.770
probably is DRAM 'less but uses the

00:07:58.530 --> 00:08:03.960
memory on the computer like it talks to

00:08:01.770 --> 00:08:08.280
it could you yes you can definitely upgrade this to full size like if you

00:08:05.910 --> 00:08:13.169
look here you can just move the little mounting bracket back here and the

00:08:10.560 --> 00:08:17.160
heatsink goes like it travels the whole length so you won't have any issues if

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

00:08:20.010 --> 00:08:26.490
touch the power button but it's already turning on this thing just absolutely

00:08:23.910 --> 00:08:31.380
loves that warning Oh warning the amount of system memory

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

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

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

00:08:44.490 --> 00:08:50.070
well at the ten fifty but like you know six cores you

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

00:08:54.810 --> 00:09:00.540
gaming laptop that's more powerful if that's what you're going for

00:08:58.950 --> 00:09:05.190
this is probably powerful enough for almost everyone unless all that you plan

00:09:03.120 --> 00:09:09.000
on doing is gaming I say that the main advantage of going with the Inspiron

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

00:09:12.420 --> 00:09:19.950
like you can take this thing right here into like office hours with your prof

00:09:17.430 --> 00:09:24.120
and they're going to be like oh this person probably wants help instead of oh

00:09:21.870 --> 00:09:27.690
this person is probably struggling because they've been playing League of

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

00:09:30.390 --> 00:09:36.690
made of a freaking carbon fiber but at the same time it's gonna do basically

00:09:34.890 --> 00:09:41.399
everything that you need as long as you don't need the most powerful gaming

00:09:38.459 --> 00:09:45.570
laptop around 4000 bucks I'd say it's pretty solid well I guess that about

00:09:42.990 --> 00:09:51.510
wraps it up here I get subscribed hit the like bell whatever

00:09:47.690 --> 00:09:54.649
do we have an oak tree for this this is

00:09:51.510 --> 00:09:54.649
it alright see you later
