WEBVTT

00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:08.360
they just revamped basically their entire lineup of PCS including a

00:00:04.480 --> 00:00:12.679
complete Rebrand Inspiron gone XPS gone

00:00:08.360 --> 00:00:15.040
latitude gone Alienware stays but that's

00:00:12.679 --> 00:00:18.800
about it and D sponsored this video to run you guys through the new branding

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

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

00:00:26.720 --> 00:00:32.719
to use to specify the target segment of their PCS here's your basic consumer

00:00:31.039 --> 00:00:36.320
models here's your step up with more premium materials here's your workplace

00:00:34.760 --> 00:00:40.840
Workhorse and here's your high performance workstation oh yeah and over

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

00:00:44.079 --> 00:00:49.960
new categories Dell is what most consumers will be looking for and will

00:00:47.800 --> 00:00:53.600
cover many work play and school tasks Dell Pro is for professionals where

00:00:51.960 --> 00:00:58.000
security and productivity take center stage and Del Pro Max is for those

00:00:56.320 --> 00:01:02.399
professionals that really tax their computer and need the horsepower for

00:00:59.640 --> 00:01:08.360
Mass of calculations simulations and CAD models and I can see how this could be a

00:01:05.880 --> 00:01:12.080
little confusing change Always is but one thing I appreciate about Dell's

00:01:10.080 --> 00:01:16.080
branding streamlining here is that words mean what they mean for instance Pro

00:01:14.439 --> 00:01:20.119
means that the machine is actually designed for professional use not just

00:01:18.280 --> 00:01:24.640
that it costs more and makes your blue bubbles even shinier of course there are

00:01:22.520 --> 00:01:30.280
still more basic and more premium machines within each slice here so how

00:01:26.720 --> 00:01:34.399
do we differentiate those base plus and

00:01:30.280 --> 00:01:37.280
premium so derivative yes easy for the

00:01:34.399 --> 00:01:42.159
average person to understand also yes maybe let's try it out I want a gorgeous

00:01:40.520 --> 00:01:49.680
laptop that I can pose with while I sip an expensive coffee okay go D

00:01:46.000 --> 00:01:52.000
premium great now I want a stable work

00:01:49.680 --> 00:01:57.920
laptop but my workload is actually pretty light go I need a d Pro all right

00:01:55.840 --> 00:02:01.399
then without further Ado let's take a look at some of the most exciting

00:01:59.200 --> 00:02:06.079
machines in our lineup starting with the Dell Pro 13 premium where Dell has

00:02:04.399 --> 00:02:11.200
turned around what I would consider to be one of their largest past mistakes on

00:02:08.520 --> 00:02:20.480
the previous latitude 9000 model that this replaces for Io you got USBC and

00:02:15.920 --> 00:02:23.400
USBC but no more here we get usba HDMI

00:02:20.480 --> 00:02:27.200
2.1 two Thunderbolt four ports okay those are kind of USBC but you also get

00:02:25.640 --> 00:02:31.280
a headphone microphone combo Jack meaning you no longer have to choose

00:02:28.959 --> 00:02:35.239
between having the sleekest Dell and being able to easily connect to the

00:02:32.920 --> 00:02:39.640
boardroom projector but that isn't even the most exciting news reports in the

00:02:37.280 --> 00:02:46.319
entire Del Pro lineup every single laptop now gets replaceable USBC ports

00:02:43.159 --> 00:02:47.959
wait like serviceable yeah oh that is so

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

00:02:50.720 --> 00:02:56.640
everything about this laptop is premium the chassis is magnesium to cut the

00:02:54.480 --> 00:03:00.840
weight down to just over a kilogram we've got their zero lattice keyboard

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

00:03:02.159 --> 00:03:09.599
XPS and its 13-in touchscreen display goes up to 500 nits at QD plus

00:03:08.040 --> 00:03:14.040
resolution although the screen we're most excited to check out is the QD plus

00:03:12.120 --> 00:03:17.920
tandem OLED panel that will be coming on the pro premium 14 later this year one

00:03:16.760 --> 00:03:21.840
more thing that professionals will appreciate is that the Del Pro Plus and

00:03:19.879 --> 00:03:25.440
premium can be equipped with a 5G modem allowing you to work from anywhere

00:03:23.720 --> 00:03:29.760
without worrying that the coffee shop Wi-Fi might be as insecure as

00:03:27.360 --> 00:03:32.840
15-year-old lonus this is what happen happens when I don't review The Script

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

00:03:34.959 --> 00:03:41.480
very thoughtful cost cutting you still get access to great performance with an

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

00:03:42.840 --> 00:03:48.120
be some AMD ryzen models coming but gone

00:03:45.840 --> 00:03:52.920
is the more expensive magnesium chassis and here is a more reasonable aluminum

00:03:50.360 --> 00:03:57.120
one the webcam gets downgraded from 8 megapixel to 5 megapixel but you still

00:03:55.519 --> 00:04:00.319
have the option for Windows hello facial recognition and a fingerprint reader on

00:03:58.959 --> 00:04:04.519
the power button for for the most part you can configure the laptop to be just

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

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

00:04:11.200 --> 00:04:14.280
a 1200p

00:04:15.359 --> 00:04:21.639
resolution that's still really good at this size moving on to the Dell Pro this

00:04:19.560 --> 00:04:25.440
is the base model you can see that once again the materials have been downgraded

00:04:23.520 --> 00:04:29.720
a little bit now we got a plastic chassis the touchpad is also a touch

00:04:28.080 --> 00:04:34.680
smaller and although the process processor is still the greatest it isn't

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

00:04:37.080 --> 00:04:43.720
have noticed doesn't have the ultra branding of the laptops we just talked

00:04:40.800 --> 00:04:47.280
about but you do get more upgradeability let's see who can take apart their

00:04:44.880 --> 00:04:51.759
laptop first philli screws love to see it are these all captive yeah that's

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

00:04:55.120 --> 00:05:01.160
Tech's existence when you're working on things like laptops and smartphones that

00:04:58.880 --> 00:05:07.759
just have all these custom stupid length screws and everything I need

00:05:03.280 --> 00:05:09.240
yours I win Alex we weren't racing you

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

00:05:12.720 --> 00:05:18.600
anymore GG wow you can really see that

00:05:16.199 --> 00:05:23.039
as similar as they look from the outside they are not that similar when you get

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

00:05:25.280 --> 00:05:32.960
modem dual fans to keep noise to a minimum and even a sideways SSD because

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

00:05:36.759 --> 00:05:43.280
replaceable USBC Port modules that is so

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

00:05:45.479 --> 00:05:51.560
it's going to be where you're plugging in for charging where you know mishaps

00:05:49.360 --> 00:05:56.240
can happen so being able to pop them out with just two screws without also

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

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

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

00:06:06.400 --> 00:06:13.199
meanwhile in the Dell Pro things are a bit more laid-back with a single fan

00:06:10.199 --> 00:06:15.639
allowing for a simpler PCB design and

00:06:13.199 --> 00:06:19.720
very welcome support for so dim memory with 64 gigs currently installed maybe

00:06:17.880 --> 00:06:23.319
you want all that RAM though and the latest processors and upgradeability

00:06:21.560 --> 00:06:27.800
well then we need to stop looking at these pros and switch over to the pro

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

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

00:06:35.080 --> 00:06:41.599
memory we made a full video on this stuff two years ago when Dell pioneered

00:06:39.240 --> 00:06:46.800
this standard but the TL didn't watch is that cam memory allows for higher memory

00:06:43.840 --> 00:06:51.560
density and more importantly lower memory profile while also getting

00:06:49.240 --> 00:06:56.639
replaceable modules close enough to the CPU shortening the traces enough that

00:06:53.800 --> 00:07:01.520
they can run at very high speeds in real world terms that means that while our

00:06:58.520 --> 00:07:04.400
replaceable so are running at 5200 megat

00:07:01.520 --> 00:07:09.000
transfers per second our cam module is running at

00:07:06.479 --> 00:07:14.879
7,467 megat transfers per second and that is while maintaining

00:07:11.400 --> 00:07:17.680
upgradeability so cool in this area here

00:07:14.879 --> 00:07:21.560
we can see we're in NVIDIA RTX 500 class GPU can be optioned what previously

00:07:20.000 --> 00:07:27.039
would have been called a Quadro and below that we've got an impressively

00:07:23.319 --> 00:07:29.680
sized 72w battery it's a that's a nice

00:07:27.039 --> 00:07:33.440
size for a 14-in machine dude the Pro Max is all Philips head captive screws

00:07:31.360 --> 00:07:37.080
too yep all of them except for the pro Max premium which for whatever reason is

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

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

00:07:43.560 --> 00:07:51.159
probably should thanks to my LTT Precision driver and bit set with

00:07:48.080 --> 00:07:53.319
Magnetic Parts tray detachable LTT

00:07:51.159 --> 00:07:57.720
store.com moving to the outside of this machine we've got another solid

00:07:54.919 --> 00:08:03.560
selection of I/O with 3 and 1/2 mm audio usba and ether

00:07:59.960 --> 00:08:05.840
two Thunderbolt 4S more usba and HDMI

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

00:08:08.720 --> 00:08:13.720
display and Windows hello facial recognition but the thing that impressed

00:08:11.960 --> 00:08:18.520
me most about this laptop is actually the quality of the keyboard This is far

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

00:08:20.319 --> 00:08:26.319
most desktop-like keyboards that we've encountered in quite some time the

00:08:24.080 --> 00:08:29.720
travel is long the key stability is great and a fair bit of force is

00:08:28.000 --> 00:08:35.519
required to actuate the making for a very satisfying typing experience enough

00:08:32.080 --> 00:08:39.360
of this though let's look at the big boy

00:08:35.519 --> 00:08:43.000
the new Dell Pro Max 16 premium on the

00:08:39.360 --> 00:08:45.279
left we get HDMI and two Thunderbolt

00:08:43.000 --> 00:08:50.080
five ports which feature double the throughput of Thunderbolt 4 then on the

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

00:08:52.760 --> 00:08:57.760
we do and a full-sized SD card reader

00:08:55.839 --> 00:09:02.040
which I'm sure many camera operators and video editors are going to love to to

00:08:59.600 --> 00:09:05.880
here we're not entirely sure what the exact specs are for this guy Dell said

00:09:04.279 --> 00:09:10.079
that they might actually change between now and the Planned release later this

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

00:09:12.320 --> 00:09:19.240
fantastic looking finally it's time to look at the consumer side of things it's

00:09:17.040 --> 00:09:25.200
going to be a bit confusing for a little while see Dell is renaming their laptops

00:09:22.800 --> 00:09:29.680
as they are releasing new ones meaning that the current consumer lineup is

00:09:26.839 --> 00:09:35.000
going to be Inspiron then Del Plus and then finally XPS but as the lower

00:09:32.880 --> 00:09:40.560
Inspiron get replaced then they'll get turned into just Dell laptops and XPS

00:09:38.200 --> 00:09:43.560
will be rebranded to Dell premium if you ever find this confusing and you're

00:09:41.959 --> 00:09:48.600
wondering which ones are the old ones and which ones are the new ones the new

00:09:45.600 --> 00:09:51.079
ones just say dell and the old ones say

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

00:09:54.200 --> 00:09:59.959
real highlight here is the QHD plus mini LED touchscreen that goes up to 600 nits

00:09:58.880 --> 00:10:04.440
Peak bright and has a 90 HZ refresh rate Dell also

00:10:02.399 --> 00:10:09.640
has continued this new trend of including usba and HDMI in addition to

00:10:07.360 --> 00:10:15.240
USBC this guy will be available February 18th starting at $9.99 moving forward

00:10:13.000 --> 00:10:20.120
all Dell laptops are going to have a s digit model number that tells you the

00:10:17.120 --> 00:10:22.320
category tier form factor shipping year

00:10:20.120 --> 00:10:26.240
and CPU vendor putting all the important info in one place just like it's

00:10:24.360 --> 00:10:30.160
important for me to thank Dell for sponsoring this video wow that ended

00:10:28.000 --> 00:10:35.519
really abruptly if you guys enjoyed this video go watch the cam explainer cam is

00:10:33.640 --> 00:10:41.839
super cool and is not getting enough attention that video got like no views

00:10:38.160 --> 00:10:41.839
go watch it cuz it's awesome
