1
00:00:00,199 --> 00:00:06,640
I liked my original delx ps12 2in1 a lot

2
00:00:03,919 --> 00:00:09,719
so much in fact that I made this video that never got released because my hair

3
00:00:08,840 --> 00:00:14,679
looked awful other than some screen burning

4
00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:20,039
issues it's been a fantastic machine and it's still in service today partly

5
00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:26,439
because since then there hasn't been anything quite like it more recent XPS

6
00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:30,800
12 two in ones have been ASUS transformer style tablets with

7
00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:39,680
detachable keyboard well no more a proper super compact

8
00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:42,320
twoin one is back the Dell XPS 13

9
00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:49,039
9365 2in1 2017 or as I'm christening it the folden

10
00:00:45,719 --> 00:00:51,010
atrick 9000 because Dell's name for it

11
00:00:49,039 --> 00:01:00,199
is terrible

12
00:01:00,199 --> 00:01:08,040
anker's power core 5000 is a two-in-one portable charger and wall charger

13
00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:13,159
featuring 5,000 milliamp hours of capacity check it and their Valentine's

14
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:19,640
promotion out at the link below the folden Atrix 9000 comes out ahead of its

15
00:01:15,960 --> 00:01:22,200
predecessor in most ways build quality

16
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:28,040
is a step up with an aluminum and carbon fiber shell that manages to get lighter

17
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:31,240
and thinner without losing any of that

18
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:33,720
quality feel so the razor blade stealth

19
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:39,320
no longer stands out from other Ultra Portables at the starting at $9.99 price

20
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:45,159
point the screen is far from color accurate out of the box but it's bright

21
00:01:42,079 --> 00:01:48,439
with great contrast and Dell's trademark

22
00:01:45,159 --> 00:01:52,079
Infinity Edge that gives this 13-in

23
00:01:48,439 --> 00:01:54,520
device a much smaller footprint than

24
00:01:52,079 --> 00:02:02,920
even modern competitors like the HP Spectre X360 2017 a 13in 2in1 that I

25
00:01:59,159 --> 00:02:05,479
covered here here it's very very totable

26
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:10,319
and the performance compromise is much less than I expected Dell claims that by

27
00:02:08,319 --> 00:02:15,319
dynamically boosting the power delivery to the processor they have overcome the

28
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:21,760
disappointing performance of last generation super low power Intel y

29
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:25,160
series devices while still achieving a

30
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:28,519
fanless cooling solution and I'm

31
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:31,000
impressed it won't hold up to sustained

32
00:02:28,519 --> 00:02:37,120
gaming loads with an ex Thunderbolt 3 video card as well due to its lower

33
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:40,000
clock speeds and inferior cooling but on

34
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:48,800
battery the XPS comes within spitting distance of the X360 which sports a much

35
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:51,040
faster on paper core i7 7500 U though

36
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:56,080
Nothing in life is free and it should also be noted that the battery life for

37
00:02:53,519 --> 00:03:01,319
both machines ended up being very similar as well and on top of that

38
00:02:59,319 --> 00:03:06,159
neither of of them is capable of smooth 4K YouTube video playback without

39
00:03:03,640 --> 00:03:13,920
running into CPU bottlenecking from time to time let's talk hinge the satisfying

40
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:19,760
but probably fragile and expensive to manufacture Ferris wheel is dead and the

41
00:03:17,959 --> 00:03:26,480
industry seems to have collectively decided a 360° yoga style hinge is the

42
00:03:23,959 --> 00:03:32,400
way to make a single device operate in laptop tablet mode or somewhere in

43
00:03:29,799 --> 00:03:38,799
between so it comes down then to who makes the best one and Dell's is good if

44
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:44,920
a little underwhelming next to the X360 they both have wonderfully smooth action

45
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:47,599
but HP managed to achieve a one-finger

46
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:52,879
lift while the XPS is actually kind of challenging to pry openen IO is another

47
00:03:50,239 --> 00:03:57,319
trade-off prospective XPS buyers will need to consider I've accepted that I'll

48
00:03:55,400 --> 00:04:05,280
need to carry type-c dongles for the rest of my life but I do wish that like

49
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:08,319
the X360 it had at least one full-size

50
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:11,400
type a port in case I forget the

51
00:04:08,319 --> 00:04:14,439
speakers are loud and sound quality good

52
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:17,959
for an ultra portable and the webcam is

53
00:04:14,439 --> 00:04:21,120
mostly decent with a very good array mic

54
00:04:17,959 --> 00:04:22,880
but if you use yours a lot you might not

55
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:28,600
like its position at the bottom of the screen you end up with that creepy

56
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:30,280
looking down at you expression that uh

57
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:37,800
isn't present on competing models like the X360 2017 more good news though the

58
00:04:34,039 --> 00:04:40,880
onboard 2x2 Wi-Fi knocked my freaking

59
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:44,880
socks off this is the first time I've

60
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:48,479
seen consistent 50 megabyte pers second

61
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:50,960
transfers on a laptop it's using a year

62
00:04:48,479 --> 00:04:56,360
old chipset from Intel so it must just be a very excellent antenna design which

63
00:04:54,160 --> 00:05:02,080
brings us finally to the bad news I'm not a huge fan of the bottom half of the

64
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:04,720
clam shell the fingerprint sensor is

65
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:10,800
fast and accurate but it really needs to be back lit so I can find it in the dark

66
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:13,000
and an IR camera here instead would be a

67
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:18,000
welcome Improvement next time around the touchpad has a consistent click feel

68
00:05:15,280 --> 00:05:21,199
below the top quarter and is much better with the speed turned down a notch and

69
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:26,479
the Palm rejection delay adjusted to quick but it still Jitters too much when

70
00:05:24,039 --> 00:05:33,280
operated two-handed I give it a B+ as for the keyboard it's not

71
00:05:30,479 --> 00:05:37,120
terrible or anything the layout is mostly pretty good especially

72
00:05:35,280 --> 00:05:43,440
considering how little space they had to work with but there's also not much that

73
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:45,919
I like about it the soft touch finish

74
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:51,960
combined with the very spongy tactile feel of the switches gives it a feeling

75
00:05:48,639 --> 00:05:54,680
kind of like typing on a sofa number row

76
00:05:51,960 --> 00:06:03,560
inputs register incorrectly when you press keys too quickly and I hate hate

77
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:06,560
hate eight the arrow key layout page up

78
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:10,160
page down home and end should be handled

79
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:13,000
with function plus arrows and don't need

80
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:17,880
dedicated keys this was really frustrating just about every other time

81
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:24,560
I wanted to move the cursor one spot I ended up scrolling the whole

82
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:28,160
page with that said the folden Atrix

83
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:30,800
9000 is a pretty cool little twoin one

84
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:36,240
it's fanless delivered top-notch battery life comes equipped with Thunderbolt 3

85
00:06:33,759 --> 00:06:42,240
is reasonably priced and does all of this with a 360° hinge something you

86
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:46,639
might not end up using that much because it's still pretty heavy to use as a

87
00:06:44,199 --> 00:06:52,080
tablet but with how little now that you're giving up compared to previous

88
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:54,360
convertibles for that hinge hey it might

89
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:59,000
be time for traditional notebook users to consider converting

90
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:09,280
yeah I'll show myself up speaking of tools for the job it's

91
00:07:06,479 --> 00:07:12,960
summer apparently something something boarding Planes Trains driving a car

92
00:07:11,479 --> 00:07:19,120
