00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:08,120
Dell buddy are you okay your XPS laptops

2
00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:12,799
recently have been both incredibly engineered and just the worst things

3
00:00:10,679 --> 00:00:18,439
that I have seen in a long time because of decisions that you did not need to

4
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:22,960
make so I'm in the very strange position where I'm going to be recommending this

5
00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:30,400
right here this is the new Dell Inspiron 16 plus and it looks to be even better

6
00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:33,000
than the XPS 16 because it's not stupid

7
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:38,640
haa up first is our power adapter this thing will deliver 130 wats and that is

8
00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:41,640
over USB type-c love to see it plug it

9
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:44,719
in turn it on Wow here it is this is

10
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:47,760
just a big slab of laptop right here

11
00:00:44,719 --> 00:00:49,239
there is so little design going on and

12
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:53,640
I'd like to say that I want a bit more of that but we have seen what happens

13
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:58,480
when Dell goes full in on design you end up with things like no IO fortunately we

14
00:00:56,039 --> 00:01:02,280
have that here a Micro SD card slot headphone microphone combo Jack thank

15
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:07,759
you Dell don't remove that from your other laptops USB type A another type A

16
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:14,920
wow they know that exists too we also have Thunderbolt 4 HDMI 2.1 one of the

17
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:17,960
strangest is that on the igpu version

18
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:21,000
the HDMI is 1.4 which means you can't

19
00:01:17,960 --> 00:01:22,320
even do 4K out of it so be very careful

20
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:28,000
when you're looking between the two models because the one with the dgpu and

21
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:29,560
the igpu are completely different this

22
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:35,640
is the power brick that came with this right yep yes why is there a barrel Jack

23
00:01:32,799 --> 00:01:39,960
hole over here apparently this might be because people that already have

24
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:43,479
deployments of a whole bunch of these maybe they want to use a barrel Jack

25
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:46,079
with their existing systems I don't know it's kind of strange you'd expect this

26
00:01:44,799 --> 00:01:52,040
to just be like another type c or something like that the first thing that I'm noticing that is a huge upgrade

27
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:56,799
compared to the XPS series is the fact that this is just nice to touch all of

28
00:01:54,520 --> 00:02:00,439
the edges are nice and rounded there's nothing sharp what I am sure of is that

29
00:01:58,759 --> 00:02:05,799
it feels good what I'm not as sure of is the size of

30
00:02:03,159 --> 00:02:09,239
this trackpad on First Look I feel like they could have definitely made it a

31
00:02:07,439 --> 00:02:12,879
little bit bigger there are of course some other things that let you know that

32
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:18,160
this isn't a $33,000 laptop we don't have any Gorilla Glass here and the

33
00:02:15,319 --> 00:02:21,680
plastic around the bezels not the greatest in the world it probably makes

34
00:02:19,519 --> 00:02:26,640
the screen pretty easy to replace but we have a matte display and we also have

35
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:28,920
this Segway to our sponsor motion gry

36
00:02:26,640 --> 00:02:32,640
motion Gray's sit desks come in a variety of models sizes with easy to

37
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:36,920
follow instructions and all the tools you need for assembly included right in

38
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:41,000
the Box check out their Ergo 2 Series some of the most affordable desks of

39
00:02:38,640 --> 00:02:44,720
their type on the market with a two segment frame and a quiet but powerful

40
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:51,519
single motor it has a height adjustment range of 28 to 46 in and supports up to

41
00:02:47,920 --> 00:02:53,519
176 lb of weight that's about 80 kg for

42
00:02:51,519 --> 00:02:59,000
y'all metric folk pick up one through our Link in the description and use code

43
00:02:55,159 --> 00:03:02,640
Linus to save 10% off your purchase 4.8

44
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:05,400
lb that is quite a bit of heft for a

45
00:03:02,640 --> 00:03:10,480
machine like this and when you combine that with the power brick that is 5.8 lb

46
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:17,080
that you're going to have to carry around in your backpack that's going to be quite a bit to have on your back and

47
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:22,440
you can comment down below about how oh I had a gaming laptop and I was able to

48
00:03:20,319 --> 00:03:27,519
I don't care that's quite a bit of way this display is not the greatest that

49
00:03:25,159 --> 00:03:33,159
I've ever seen if I'm honest I was expecting it not to be the best ever

50
00:03:30,799 --> 00:03:38,120
this is not a top-end laptop and it does not come with OLED or anything crazy

51
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:44,439
like that but when I saw that it was Quad HD 120 HZ 300 nit Peak brightness

52
00:03:42,159 --> 00:03:49,480
isn't great but the rest of it sounded very promising but the let down is that

53
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:53,480
it's just kind of grainy and I don't understand why there's no touchscreen

54
00:03:51,319 --> 00:03:57,000
digitizer to get in the way you guys are just going to have to trust me on this

55
00:03:54,840 --> 00:04:01,439
one but it's just not what I was expecting when I saw the specs of this

56
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:05,280
display it is still really quite good given the price point it's just not

57
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:10,239
quite where I wanted it to be looking at the Labs test results this display does

58
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:11,920
measure quite well we're able to get 326

59
00:04:10,239 --> 00:04:17,239
nits Peak brightness Which is higher than the 300 that's advertised with a

60
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:19,880
Delta e2000 of 2.29 you would definitely

61
00:04:17,239 --> 00:04:24,160
be able to use it to video or photo edit in a pinch even if it isn't something

62
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:28,800
that I would trust if it is my professional job to do stuff like that

63
00:04:26,840 --> 00:04:34,320
but it should be noted that you do not want to switch this out of the default

64
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:36,600
color profile that gets you nice srgb

65
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:40,320
everything else is going to just look strange and probably in ways that you

66
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:45,919
don't want one other thing that is a little bit odd about this display is

67
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:48,759
that you have the options of 120 HZ or

68
00:04:45,919 --> 00:04:55,080
48 HZ o that's some 48 HZ does not feel good 60 you can

69
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:58,800
kind of get away with 120 feels way better all right let's have a look at

70
00:04:56,759 --> 00:05:05,320
what's under the hood for the processor we have an Intel core Ultra 7

71
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:07,800
155h that has 16 cores six performance

72
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:13,120
eight efficiency and two low power efficiency cores and those performance

73
00:05:09,840 --> 00:05:16,000
cores will go up to 4.8 GHz making this

74
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:22,919
quite a rapid little guy we also have 16 GB of RAM at 5600 megga transfers per

75
00:05:18,840 --> 00:05:24,759
second and it says form factor so DM O

76
00:05:22,919 --> 00:05:32,440
So this might be upgradeable I love to see that we also have a 1 TB mvme SSD

77
00:05:28,840 --> 00:05:34,800
Wi-Fi 6 E from Intel like to see that

78
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:39,479
Intel's npu which does not meet the minimum specs for co-pilot even though

79
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:45,160
they did steal a key for co-pilot and also an NVIDIA RTX 4060 now this is

80
00:05:43,039 --> 00:05:51,520
going to be a little bit of a controversial pick so you can go for the

81
00:05:47,840 --> 00:05:54,800
4060 in this but you only get 60 watts

82
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:57,199
of power out of this chassis which is

83
00:05:54,800 --> 00:06:01,639
not going to be getting you the full performance of that keyboard

84
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:12,039
you know what I really like this keyboard it has a very satisfying snap

85
00:06:09,759 --> 00:06:15,919
to the key travel and the stability of these Keys is fantastic like look if I

86
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:20,120
push on the corner whole thing going down way before it's getting below the

87
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:24,080
chassis I think I'm going to give this keyboard a solid a and bonus points

88
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:30,360
still for having an actual Escape key in function row and I don't have those stupid Capac what is certainly not going

89
00:06:27,919 --> 00:06:35,560
to be getting an a though is the track pad the size I can get over it's made

90
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:41,240
out of myar instead of glass I'm going to give the track pad of

91
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:42,639
B minus I expect Intel CPUs to run hot

92
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:49,199
but we're in the menu and it's already at 100° like oh dear oh God what's

93
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:52,680
happening why is this so terrible this is actually unplayable right now all

94
00:06:51,199 --> 00:06:57,960
right we are back in rocket league but I have Hardware info open we are looking

95
00:06:55,080 --> 00:07:01,720
at 100° on the core but we are not having any more issues with the dropping

96
00:06:59,599 --> 00:07:05,960
down to like 7 FPS maybe what we needed was just a restart so if you're looking

97
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:11,199
at a laptop that is mostly just for like schoolwork and office stuff and things

98
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:14,240
like that but on occasion you want to be able to game this is probably going to

99
00:07:12,759 --> 00:07:18,039
be a pretty good option all right we've now been playing rocket league for 2

100
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:24,919
minutes this is not a very accurate way to do this but 46° where's here 46.8 all

101
00:07:22,199 --> 00:07:29,199
of it is very hot Labs when they were doing their testing and they had

102
00:07:26,759 --> 00:07:35,120
extended gaming sessions found that the keyboard got up to 53° C which is the

103
00:07:33,199 --> 00:07:39,039
sort of thing that will actually burn you if you touch it for too long that

104
00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:44,759
said the keys themselves are pretty nice and cool and the bits that I'm actually

105
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:46,680
touching are okay but everything

106
00:07:44,759 --> 00:07:50,560
surrounding the keys will actually give you a first-degree burn if you hold your

107
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:54,879
hands there for long enough ow and in here we have a four speaker setup two on

108
00:07:52,759 --> 00:08:00,000
top two on the bottom this is another situation where dedicated graphics gets

109
00:07:57,039 --> 00:08:02,950
four speakers integrated only gets two totally different laptops but let's see

110
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:06,070
if it

111
00:08:07,639 --> 00:08:15,240
bumps ooh that's even better when you have a solid surface below you the

112
00:08:12,639 --> 00:08:20,080
treble bounces off of it and it actually sounds really quite decent I think given

113
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:23,720
the price of this those are perfectly acceptable speakers hopefully we'll be

114
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:27,960
able to actually do proper testing on the sound of laptop soon I am very

115
00:08:26,039 --> 00:08:34,240
excited for that all right let's see how the webcam looks it's really not too bad

116
00:08:31,199 --> 00:08:36,240
it's exposing well for my face there is

117
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:41,320
definitely some ghosting issues but it is 1080p okay it does definitely

118
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:46,040
struggle at times like I am both blown out and look like that I have been in

119
00:08:43,279 --> 00:08:49,880
the sun without sunscreen for 48 hours but if you're lit in a somewhat

120
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:54,160
reasonable way it is able to figure it out and if you want people not looking

121
00:08:51,519 --> 00:08:57,440
at you boom there's a little switch right there that just completely

122
00:08:55,680 --> 00:09:01,320
disables it I love to see that thank you for putting it on there Dell

123
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:05,360
unfortunately we don't have any IR emitters so we don't have Windows hello

124
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:08,680
facial recognition but we do have a little fingerprint reader right here so

125
00:09:06,959 --> 00:09:14,640
you can get into your laptop nice and easy nine Phillips screws later two of

126
00:09:11,519 --> 00:09:16,640
which are captive so they pop this off

127
00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:21,600
we are inside and this is actually looking incredible for upgradeability

128
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:27,160
given that the year is 2024 we have our SSD right here and spot

129
00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:32,160
for a second SSD right here now the second SSD will have to be a very small

130
00:09:29,959 --> 00:09:36,600
boy but at the same time you can get 2 tbte ssds of this size Chuck it in there

131
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:40,040
it's way better than nothing and that's what most other brands will give you we

132
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:44,640
also have an upgradeable Wi-Fi card right here so you can go to Wi-Fi 7 in

133
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:52,560
the future if you so choose and the most incredible bit we have upgradable RAM

134
00:09:47,680 --> 00:09:55,240
soams hell yes so many laptop makers are

135
00:09:52,560 --> 00:10:00,640
either going to just not having any upgrade ability or just even worse the

136
00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:04,800
chip makers aren't even allowing it looking at the cooling solution it is

137
00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:09,480
shockingly robust given the CPU temperatures in here we have four heat

138
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:13,120
pipes two fans and we also have four heat sinks which looks like it should be

139
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:18,600
able to dissipate a fair bit of heat well not that one's going straight into a hitge but the rest should be able to

140
00:10:16,079 --> 00:10:22,920
dissipate a fair bit of heat even if it didn't really do that in the real world

141
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:26,680
what I suspect is if you rip this thing off and throw some liquid metal in there

142
00:10:24,839 --> 00:10:30,480
you'll be able to get much better temperatures and if you're going in here

143
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:34,839
to like upgrade the RAM or something in a couple of years anyway that might

144
00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:39,920
really bring this thing back from the dead what certainly won't be dead though

145
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:44,560
is this laptop well it will die eventually but it will take quite some

146
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:49,120
time because it has a 90w hour battery in it we able to see over 10 hours of

147
00:10:47,079 --> 00:10:54,920
battery life on this away from the wall which is quite impressive given that it

148
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:57,240
has a dgpu and an Intel CPU one final

149
00:10:54,920 --> 00:11:01,920
test for upgradeability wow they have a super small SSD in here by default so

150
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:07,279
you could just Chuck it right there get a fullsize SSD and Bam you're off to the

151
00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:12,279
race and it passes the double-sided SSD test so you can check a double-sided SSD

152
00:11:09,639 --> 00:11:16,519
in there the repairability of this has really helped my overall opinion of it

153
00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:21,440
so many laptops don't have that so then the Dell Inspiron 16 plus is this a

154
00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:25,440
laptop that you want if you want to do hardcore gaming hardcore video editing

155
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:33,360
professional photo editing really hardcore anything at all no

156
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:34,880
but this is a laptop that is not crap at
