1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:08,360
they just revamped basically their entire lineup of PCS including a

2
00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:12,679
complete Rebrand Inspiron gone XPS gone

3
00:00:08,360 --> 00:00:15,040
latitude gone Alienware stays but that's

4
00:00:12,679 --> 00:00:18,800
about it and D sponsored this video to run you guys through the new branding

5
00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:24,760
and what it means we've also got the new devices and they look sick but first I

6
00:00:22,080 --> 00:00:29,000
want to explain this graphic on the left are all of the old names that Dell used

7
00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:32,719
to use to specify the target segment of their PCS here's your basic consumer

8
00:00:31,039 --> 00:00:36,320
models here's your step up with more premium materials here's your workplace

9
00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:40,840
Workhorse and here's your high performance workstation oh yeah and over

10
00:00:38,239 --> 00:00:46,280
here's gaming okay now we take that and we just put it here here are the three

11
00:00:44,079 --> 00:00:49,960
new categories Dell is what most consumers will be looking for and will

12
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:53,600
cover many work play and school tasks Dell Pro is for professionals where

13
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:58,000
security and productivity take center stage and Del Pro Max is for those

14
00:00:56,320 --> 00:01:02,399
professionals that really tax their computer and need the horsepower for

15
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:08,360
Mass of calculations simulations and CAD models and I can see how this could be a

16
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:12,080
little confusing change Always is but one thing I appreciate about Dell's

17
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:16,080
branding streamlining here is that words mean what they mean for instance Pro

18
00:01:14,439 --> 00:01:20,119
means that the machine is actually designed for professional use not just

19
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:24,640
that it costs more and makes your blue bubbles even shinier of course there are

20
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:30,280
still more basic and more premium machines within each slice here so how

21
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:34,399
do we differentiate those base plus and

22
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:37,280
premium so derivative yes easy for the

23
00:01:34,399 --> 00:01:42,159
average person to understand also yes maybe let's try it out I want a gorgeous

24
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:49,680
laptop that I can pose with while I sip an expensive coffee okay go D

25
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:52,000
premium great now I want a stable work

26
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:57,920
laptop but my workload is actually pretty light go I need a d Pro all right

27
00:01:55,840 --> 00:02:01,399
then without further Ado let's take a look at some of the most exciting

28
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:06,079
machines in our lineup starting with the Dell Pro 13 premium where Dell has

29
00:02:04,399 --> 00:02:11,200
turned around what I would consider to be one of their largest past mistakes on

30
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:20,480
the previous latitude 9000 model that this replaces for Io you got USBC and

31
00:02:15,920 --> 00:02:23,400
USBC but no more here we get usba HDMI

32
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:27,200
2.1 two Thunderbolt four ports okay those are kind of USBC but you also get

33
00:02:25,640 --> 00:02:31,280
a headphone microphone combo Jack meaning you no longer have to choose

34
00:02:28,959 --> 00:02:35,239
between having the sleekest Dell and being able to easily connect to the

35
00:02:32,920 --> 00:02:39,640
boardroom projector but that isn't even the most exciting news reports in the

36
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:46,319
entire Del Pro lineup every single laptop now gets replaceable USBC ports

37
00:02:43,159 --> 00:02:47,959
wait like serviceable yeah oh that is so

38
00:02:46,319 --> 00:02:52,720
cool we're going to look at that more in a bit but first as the name suggests

39
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:56,640
everything about this laptop is premium the chassis is magnesium to cut the

40
00:02:54,480 --> 00:03:00,840
weight down to just over a kilogram we've got their zero lattice keyboard

41
00:02:58,640 --> 00:03:04,920
but with a tiny bit more space between the keys than what you would find on the

42
00:03:02,159 --> 00:03:09,599
XPS and its 13-in touchscreen display goes up to 500 nits at QD plus

43
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:14,040
resolution although the screen we're most excited to check out is the QD plus

44
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:17,920
tandem OLED panel that will be coming on the pro premium 14 later this year one

45
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:21,840
more thing that professionals will appreciate is that the Del Pro Plus and

46
00:03:19,879 --> 00:03:25,440
premium can be equipped with a 5G modem allowing you to work from anywhere

47
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:29,760
without worrying that the coffee shop Wi-Fi might be as insecure as

48
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:32,840
15-year-old lonus this is what happen happens when I don't review The Script

49
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:36,920
before we shoot now let's have a look at the Pro Plus model where we find some

50
00:03:34,959 --> 00:03:41,480
very thoughtful cost cutting you still get access to great performance with an

51
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:45,840
Intel Core Ultra 7 with an npu for AI and later in the year there's going to

52
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:48,120
be some AMD ryzen models coming but gone

53
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:52,920
is the more expensive magnesium chassis and here is a more reasonable aluminum

54
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:57,120
one the webcam gets downgraded from 8 megapixel to 5 megapixel but you still

55
00:03:55,519 --> 00:04:00,319
have the option for Windows hello facial recognition and a fingerprint reader on

56
00:03:58,959 --> 00:04:04,519
the power button for for the most part you can configure the laptop to be just

57
00:04:02,239 --> 00:04:09,000
as powerful as a premium model but if you want to save a bit you can foro

58
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:14,280
things like Wi-Fi 7 or 5G connectivity and for the 13in the screen tops out at

59
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:14,280
a 1200p

60
00:04:15,359 --> 00:04:21,639
resolution that's still really good at this size moving on to the Dell Pro this

61
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:25,440
is the base model you can see that once again the materials have been downgraded

62
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:29,720
a little bit now we got a plastic chassis the touchpad is also a touch

63
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:34,680
smaller and although the process processor is still the greatest it isn't

64
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:39,120
the latest in the Del Pro 14in we've got an Intel Core 7 250u which you might

65
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:43,720
have noticed doesn't have the ultra branding of the laptops we just talked

66
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:47,280
about but you do get more upgradeability let's see who can take apart their

67
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:51,759
laptop first philli screws love to see it are these all captive yeah that's

68
00:04:49,919 --> 00:04:56,840
great it makes it so much harder to lose screws which is the bane of every it

69
00:04:55,120 --> 00:05:01,160
Tech's existence when you're working on things like laptops and smartphones that

70
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:07,759
just have all these custom stupid length screws and everything I need

71
00:05:03,280 --> 00:05:09,240
yours I win Alex we weren't racing you

72
00:05:07,759 --> 00:05:16,199
literally just said it was a race when you had a lead on me we're not racing

73
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:18,600
anymore GG wow you can really see that

74
00:05:16,199 --> 00:05:23,039
as similar as they look from the outside they are not that similar when you get

75
00:05:20,280 --> 00:05:27,840
to the inside a lot of the space in the premium model is taken up by that 5G

76
00:05:25,280 --> 00:05:32,960
modem dual fans to keep noise to a minimum and even a sideways SSD because

77
00:05:30,919 --> 00:05:41,319
there's so much stuff packed in we've also got oh that is so cool these

78
00:05:36,759 --> 00:05:43,280
replaceable USBC Port modules that is so

79
00:05:41,319 --> 00:05:46,520
cool I mean it's the io Port that you're going to use the most especially because

80
00:05:45,479 --> 00:05:51,560
it's going to be where you're plugging in for charging where you know mishaps

81
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:56,240
can happen so being able to pop them out with just two screws without also

82
00:05:53,680 --> 00:06:00,520
replacing the rest of the board I love it I mean it's still a fair bit of work

83
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:04,720
cuz the screws are on the other side so you got to kind of pull the motherboard

84
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:08,039
out but dude this is progress It's the sort of thing that I would invest in

85
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:13,199
meanwhile in the Dell Pro things are a bit more laid-back with a single fan

86
00:06:10,199 --> 00:06:15,639
allowing for a simpler PCB design and

87
00:06:13,199 --> 00:06:19,720
very welcome support for so dim memory with 64 gigs currently installed maybe

88
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:23,319
you want all that RAM though and the latest processors and upgradeability

89
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:27,800
well then we need to stop looking at these pros and switch over to the pro

90
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:32,800
Max we'll look at the outside of this bad boy in a second but this is the Dell

91
00:06:30,479 --> 00:06:36,880
Pro Max 14 and it is one of the first laptops to hit the market with LP cam

92
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:41,599
memory we made a full video on this stuff two years ago when Dell pioneered

93
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:46,800
this standard but the TL didn't watch is that cam memory allows for higher memory

94
00:06:43,840 --> 00:06:51,560
density and more importantly lower memory profile while also getting

95
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:56,639
replaceable modules close enough to the CPU shortening the traces enough that

96
00:06:53,800 --> 00:07:01,520
they can run at very high speeds in real world terms that means that while our

97
00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:04,400
replaceable so are running at 5200 megat

98
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:09,000
transfers per second our cam module is running at

99
00:07:06,479 --> 00:07:14,879
7,467 megat transfers per second and that is while maintaining

100
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:17,680
upgradeability so cool in this area here

101
00:07:14,879 --> 00:07:21,560
we can see we're in NVIDIA RTX 500 class GPU can be optioned what previously

102
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:27,039
would have been called a Quadro and below that we've got an impressively

103
00:07:23,319 --> 00:07:29,680
sized 72w battery it's a that's a nice

104
00:07:27,039 --> 00:07:33,440
size for a 14-in machine dude the Pro Max is all Philips head captive screws

105
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:37,080
too yep all of them except for the pro Max premium which for whatever reason is

106
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:41,759
Torx but we'll look at that in a bit and fairness to them Torx is more better

107
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:45,879
it's just not always convenient because I don't always have one on me although I

108
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:51,159
probably should thanks to my LTT Precision driver and bit set with

109
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:53,319
Magnetic Parts tray detachable LTT

110
00:07:51,159 --> 00:07:57,720
store.com moving to the outside of this machine we've got another solid

111
00:07:54,919 --> 00:08:03,560
selection of I/O with 3 and 1/2 mm audio usba and ether

112
00:07:59,960 --> 00:08:05,840
two Thunderbolt 4S more usba and HDMI

113
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:10,240
this is a base model but it's the Bas Pro Max so we still get a Quad HD Plus

114
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:13,720
display and Windows hello facial recognition but the thing that impressed

115
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:18,520
me most about this laptop is actually the quality of the keyboard This is far

116
00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:22,280
from a thin laptop and Dell has clearly used that space to allow for one of the

117
00:08:20,319 --> 00:08:26,319
most desktop-like keyboards that we've encountered in quite some time the

118
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:29,720
travel is long the key stability is great and a fair bit of force is

119
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:35,519
required to actuate the making for a very satisfying typing experience enough

120
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:39,360
of this though let's look at the big boy

121
00:08:35,519 --> 00:08:43,000
the new Dell Pro Max 16 premium on the

122
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:45,279
left we get HDMI and two Thunderbolt

123
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:50,080
five ports which feature double the throughput of Thunderbolt 4 then on the

124
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:55,839
right we get 3 and 12 mm audio oh my goodness we still get Thunderbolt 4 yes

125
00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:57,760
we do and a full-sized SD card reader

126
00:08:55,839 --> 00:09:02,040
which I'm sure many camera operators and video editors are going to love to to

127
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:05,880
here we're not entirely sure what the exact specs are for this guy Dell said

128
00:09:04,279 --> 00:09:10,079
that they might actually change between now and the Planned release later this

129
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:14,160
year but we do know that this display is QHD plus it's touch and it is freaking

130
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:19,240
fantastic looking finally it's time to look at the consumer side of things it's

131
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:25,200
going to be a bit confusing for a little while see Dell is renaming their laptops

132
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:29,680
as they are releasing new ones meaning that the current consumer lineup is

133
00:09:26,839 --> 00:09:35,000
going to be Inspiron then Del Plus and then finally XPS but as the lower

134
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:40,560
Inspiron get replaced then they'll get turned into just Dell laptops and XPS

135
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:43,560
will be rebranded to Dell premium if you ever find this confusing and you're

136
00:09:41,959 --> 00:09:48,600
wondering which ones are the old ones and which ones are the new ones the new

137
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:51,079
ones just say dell and the old ones say

138
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:56,720
dell with a circle let's take a look at the new Dell plus 16 and 162 in one the

139
00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:59,959
real highlight here is the QHD plus mini LED touchscreen that goes up to 600 nits

140
00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:04,440
Peak bright and has a 90 HZ refresh rate Dell also

141
00:10:02,399 --> 00:10:09,640
has continued this new trend of including usba and HDMI in addition to

142
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:15,240
USBC this guy will be available February 18th starting at $9.99 moving forward

143
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:20,120
all Dell laptops are going to have a s digit model number that tells you the

144
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:22,320
category tier form factor shipping year

145
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:26,240
and CPU vendor putting all the important info in one place just like it's

146
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:30,160
important for me to thank Dell for sponsoring this video wow that ended

147
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:35,519
really abruptly if you guys enjoyed this video go watch the cam explainer cam is

148
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:41,839
super cool and is not getting enough attention that video got like no views

149
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:41,839
go watch it cuz it's awesome
