00:00:00.199 --> 00:00:06.640
I liked my original delx ps12 2in1 a lot

00:00:03.919 --> 00:00:09.719
so much in fact that I made this video that never got released because my hair

00:00:08.840 --> 00:00:14.679
looked awful other than some screen burning

00:00:12.240 --> 00:00:20.039
issues it's been a fantastic machine and it's still in service today partly

00:00:17.480 --> 00:00:26.439
because since then there hasn't been anything quite like it more recent XPS

00:00:23.680 --> 00:00:30.800
12 two in ones have been ASUS transformer style tablets with

00:00:28.880 --> 00:00:39.680
detachable keyboard well no more a proper super compact

00:00:35.520 --> 00:00:42.320
twoin one is back the Dell XPS 13

00:00:39.680 --> 00:00:49.039
9365 2in1 2017 or as I'm christening it the folden

00:00:45.719 --> 00:00:51.010
atrick 9000 because Dell's name for it

00:00:49.039 --> 00:01:00.199
is terrible

00:01:00.199 --> 00:01:08.040
anker's power core 5000 is a two-in-one portable charger and wall charger

00:01:05.360 --> 00:01:13.159
featuring 5,000 milliamp hours of capacity check it and their Valentine's

00:01:10.400 --> 00:01:19.640
promotion out at the link below the folden Atrix 9000 comes out ahead of its

00:01:15.960 --> 00:01:22.200
predecessor in most ways build quality

00:01:19.640 --> 00:01:28.040
is a step up with an aluminum and carbon fiber shell that manages to get lighter

00:01:24.880 --> 00:01:31.240
and thinner without losing any of that

00:01:28.040 --> 00:01:33.720
quality feel so the razor blade stealth

00:01:31.240 --> 00:01:39.320
no longer stands out from other Ultra Portables at the starting at $9.99 price

00:01:36.880 --> 00:01:45.159
point the screen is far from color accurate out of the box but it's bright

00:01:42.079 --> 00:01:48.439
with great contrast and Dell's trademark

00:01:45.159 --> 00:01:52.079
Infinity Edge that gives this 13-in

00:01:48.439 --> 00:01:54.520
device a much smaller footprint than

00:01:52.079 --> 00:02:02.920
even modern competitors like the HP Spectre X360 2017 a 13in 2in1 that I

00:01:59.159 --> 00:02:05.479
covered here here it's very very totable

00:02:02.920 --> 00:02:10.319
and the performance compromise is much less than I expected Dell claims that by

00:02:08.319 --> 00:02:15.319
dynamically boosting the power delivery to the processor they have overcome the

00:02:13.000 --> 00:02:21.760
disappointing performance of last generation super low power Intel y

00:02:18.120 --> 00:02:25.160
series devices while still achieving a

00:02:21.760 --> 00:02:28.519
fanless cooling solution and I'm

00:02:25.160 --> 00:02:31.000
impressed it won't hold up to sustained

00:02:28.519 --> 00:02:37.120
gaming loads with an ex Thunderbolt 3 video card as well due to its lower

00:02:34.040 --> 00:02:40.000
clock speeds and inferior cooling but on

00:02:37.120 --> 00:02:48.800
battery the XPS comes within spitting distance of the X360 which sports a much

00:02:43.440 --> 00:02:51.040
faster on paper core i7 7500 U though

00:02:48.800 --> 00:02:56.080
Nothing in life is free and it should also be noted that the battery life for

00:02:53.519 --> 00:03:01.319
both machines ended up being very similar as well and on top of that

00:02:59.319 --> 00:03:06.159
neither of of them is capable of smooth 4K YouTube video playback without

00:03:03.640 --> 00:03:13.920
running into CPU bottlenecking from time to time let's talk hinge the satisfying

00:03:11.280 --> 00:03:19.760
but probably fragile and expensive to manufacture Ferris wheel is dead and the

00:03:17.959 --> 00:03:26.480
industry seems to have collectively decided a 360° yoga style hinge is the

00:03:23.959 --> 00:03:32.400
way to make a single device operate in laptop tablet mode or somewhere in

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

00:03:36.040 --> 00:03:44.920
a little underwhelming next to the X360 they both have wonderfully smooth action

00:03:41.720 --> 00:03:47.599
but HP managed to achieve a one-finger

00:03:44.920 --> 00:03:52.879
lift while the XPS is actually kind of challenging to pry openen IO is another

00:03:50.239 --> 00:03:57.319
trade-off prospective XPS buyers will need to consider I've accepted that I'll

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

00:04:01.000 --> 00:04:08.319
the X360 it had at least one full-size

00:04:05.280 --> 00:04:11.400
type a port in case I forget the

00:04:08.319 --> 00:04:14.439
speakers are loud and sound quality good

00:04:11.400 --> 00:04:17.959
for an ultra portable and the webcam is

00:04:14.439 --> 00:04:21.120
mostly decent with a very good array mic

00:04:17.959 --> 00:04:22.880
but if you use yours a lot you might not

00:04:21.120 --> 00:04:28.600
like its position at the bottom of the screen you end up with that creepy

00:04:25.320 --> 00:04:30.280
looking down at you expression that uh

00:04:28.600 --> 00:04:37.800
isn't present on competing models like the X360 2017 more good news though the

00:04:34.039 --> 00:04:40.880
onboard 2x2 Wi-Fi knocked my freaking

00:04:37.800 --> 00:04:44.880
socks off this is the first time I've

00:04:40.880 --> 00:04:48.479
seen consistent 50 megabyte pers second

00:04:44.880 --> 00:04:50.960
transfers on a laptop it's using a year

00:04:48.479 --> 00:04:56.360
old chipset from Intel so it must just be a very excellent antenna design which

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

00:04:59.000 --> 00:05:04.720
clam shell the fingerprint sensor is

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

00:05:07.400 --> 00:05:13.000
and an IR camera here instead would be a

00:05:10.800 --> 00:05:18.000
welcome Improvement next time around the touchpad has a consistent click feel

00:05:15.280 --> 00:05:21.199
below the top quarter and is much better with the speed turned down a notch and

00:05:19.440 --> 00:05:26.479
the Palm rejection delay adjusted to quick but it still Jitters too much when

00:05:24.039 --> 00:05:33.280
operated two-handed I give it a B+ as for the keyboard it's not

00:05:30.479 --> 00:05:37.120
terrible or anything the layout is mostly pretty good especially

00:05:35.280 --> 00:05:43.440
considering how little space they had to work with but there's also not much that

00:05:39.960 --> 00:05:45.919
I like about it the soft touch finish

00:05:43.440 --> 00:05:51.960
combined with the very spongy tactile feel of the switches gives it a feeling

00:05:48.639 --> 00:05:54.680
kind of like typing on a sofa number row

00:05:51.960 --> 00:06:03.560
inputs register incorrectly when you press keys too quickly and I hate hate

00:05:59.400 --> 00:06:06.560
hate eight the arrow key layout page up

00:06:03.560 --> 00:06:10.160
page down home and end should be handled

00:06:06.560 --> 00:06:13.000
with function plus arrows and don't need

00:06:10.160 --> 00:06:17.880
dedicated keys this was really frustrating just about every other time

00:06:15.720 --> 00:06:24.560
I wanted to move the cursor one spot I ended up scrolling the whole

00:06:20.880 --> 00:06:28.160
page with that said the folden Atrix

00:06:24.560 --> 00:06:30.800
9000 is a pretty cool little twoin one

00:06:28.160 --> 00:06:36.240
it's fanless delivered top-notch battery life comes equipped with Thunderbolt 3

00:06:33.759 --> 00:06:42.240
is reasonably priced and does all of this with a 360° hinge something you

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

00:06:44.199 --> 00:06:52.080
tablet but with how little now that you're giving up compared to previous

00:06:48.680 --> 00:06:54.360
convertibles for that hinge hey it might

00:06:52.080 --> 00:06:59.000
be time for traditional notebook users to consider converting

00:07:00.520 --> 00:07:09.280
yeah I'll show myself up speaking of tools for the job it's

00:07:06.479 --> 00:07:12.960
summer apparently something something boarding Planes Trains driving a car

00:07:11.479 --> 00:07:19.120
