1 00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:06,879 On this channel, we cover loads of laptops that are performant, 2 00:00:03,679 --> 00:00:08,559 interesting, and very expensive. So, 3 00:00:06,879 --> 00:00:14,559 when you actually go to buy one, you're probably going to look for something like this. This is a Dell Plus 2 in one, 4 00:00:11,519 --> 00:00:16,880 and it's not crazy expensive. Let's take 5 00:00:14,559 --> 00:00:21,680 a look. All right, how much power do we get into this thing here? We can see we 6 00:00:19,279 --> 00:00:25,840 have 65 watts of power that is delivered over USB type-C, which I absolutely love 7 00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:31,920 cuz this will charge your phone really fast as well. In here, we also get a 8 00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:33,760 stylus. Oh, fancy. This is Dell's active 9 00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:39,280 pen, and they were kind enough to not just give us the tip, but we have tips 10 00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:44,399 if you end up running out of one of them. Very nice. I'm just hearing from a 11 00:00:42,879 --> 00:00:52,399 control room that this is actually an optional add-on. So, bye. All right, 12 00:00:48,480 --> 00:00:55,199 there's the guy. Can we do the pull? 13 00:00:52,399 --> 00:00:58,480 Yes. All right, let's have a look at the 14 00:00:56,399 --> 00:01:02,640 definitely not an Inspiron two in one. First of all, I really like this blue. 15 00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:06,799 It's the sort of thing that's classy but not outright boring. And the design 16 00:01:04,960 --> 00:01:10,400 overall does not make me think that they just copied Apple, unlike their naming 17 00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:15,200 schemes. On the right hand side, we have USB typeA and headphone jack. And on the 18 00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:24,320 lefth hand side, sadly, we don't have USB 4. We have USB 3.2 Gen 2 and HDMI. 19 00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:26,560 2.1 1.4 1 20 00:01:24,320 --> 00:01:30,880 Dell. One thing I am not super stoked about though is it seems like that the 21 00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:35,680 fingerprint rejection is uh it's not the best that I've ever seen. It's not the 22 00:01:32,479 --> 00:01:39,240 worst, but that's not great. 23 00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:39,240 One finger lift. 24 00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:48,560 Sadly, this laptop is not perfectly balanced, but I won't take away too many 25 00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:53,439 points for that. The outside looked really, really nice with like this metal 26 00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:58,320 back cover and the metal bottom cover. Once you open it up, 27 00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:03,840 you get most of the way there. The screen very nice and glossy, but the 28 00:02:01,119 --> 00:02:10,119 palm rest is pretty plasticky. It has a bit of a 29 00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:10,119 bit of a drum line feel to it. 30 00:02:12,959 --> 00:02:19,760 Okay, let's be fair. We should move away 31 00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:21,920 this pad right here, but uh it's not the 32 00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:26,080 most solid laptop that I've ever seen in my life. That said though, this is a 33 00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:32,400 twoin- one. So, you can have it in tablet mode or tent mode or this mode 34 00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:36,800 that laptop makers always want me to show off, but I don't think anyone 35 00:02:33,920 --> 00:02:40,319 actually uses. And of course, laptop mode. Looks like the power button here 36 00:02:38,640 --> 00:02:44,879 is also a fingerprint reader, and it's also an excellent spot to segue to our 37 00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:48,560 sponsor.

You know, I knew from looking at the Labs data 45 00:03:14,159 --> 00:03:22,800 beforehand that this screen was underwhelming and in person it also is 46 00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:25,200 very underwhelming. It is 1920 by 1200 47 00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:29,280 touch of course and Dell claims that it is 300 nits peak brightness and we 48 00:03:27,920 --> 00:03:35,760 measured it in the Labs and it absolutely smashed that reaching 301 49 00:03:32,959 --> 00:03:39,840 nits. Now for the colors, what exactly your laptop can display depends on the 50 00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:45,360 color space. So, if you want something that's able to really edit photos, look 51 00:03:42,879 --> 00:03:49,040 fantastic, have those super saturated colors, you want something that can 52 00:03:46,879 --> 00:03:53,280 cover all of DCIP3. If you're not looking for that, you want 53 00:03:50,799 --> 00:03:59,439 something that can cover all of sRGB. That is what most web content is. And 54 00:03:55,360 --> 00:04:02,799 this right here can cover 63.7% of sRGB, 55 00:03:59,439 --> 00:04:04,480 which is pretty bad in 2025. This 56 00:04:02,799 --> 00:04:10,239 combined with the underwhelming brightness means that this display is 57 00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:16,639 adequate. We also measured an average delta E of 7.68 58 00:04:13,519 --> 00:04:18,479 when what you want is less than two for 59 00:04:16,639 --> 00:04:22,560 color work. Now, I did talk to Dell about this and they said that it is 60 00:04:20,239 --> 00:04:26,960 expected to get those color results. And if you want a better one, maybe go for 61 00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:32,120 the 16-in 2in1 cuz that has a miniLEDD display. Let's see how it is for 62 00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:32,120 writing. 63 00:04:35,199 --> 00:04:41,440 seems pretty good overall. It's nice. It's accurate. Man, I wish it had art. 64 00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:45,680 That would be so cool. Now, even if the display is a little bit underwhelming, 65 00:04:43,280 --> 00:04:50,960 the specs themselves are at least welming. In here, we have a Ryzen AI 66 00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:57,440 5340, which has six cores and boosts up to 4.8 GHz on three of them. The other 67 00:04:54,720 --> 00:05:03,040 three are Zen 5C cores that only go up to 3.4 GHz. So hopefully that helps us 68 00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:07,199 in the battery life department later, but it will not be helping us get any 69 00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:13,120 Cinebench records. That said though, you can spec it with a Ryzen AI 7350, 70 00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:18,800 which should be a bit quicker if you do need the power. In here, we also have 16 71 00:05:15,919 --> 00:05:23,520 GB of 7500 megat transfer per second RAM, which means you probably cannot 72 00:05:20,639 --> 00:05:27,080 replace it. You also have a Micron 512 GB SSD, 73 00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:35,120 MediaTek, which is disappointing, but 74 00:05:31,919 --> 00:05:37,680 W57 wireless landing card, which is 75 00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:42,639 really nice to see. And finally, an AMD Radeon 840M graphics. Actually, why did 76 00:05:40,479 --> 00:05:48,800 I say finally? We also have an NPU. This does AI, but does a game. Let's see how 77 00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:55,120 we do in Rocket League here. I'm at 1200p high quality settings, no 78 00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:57,680 anti-aliasing, and 79 00:05:55,120 --> 00:06:02,560 this is looking half decent. Like, it's obviously not incredible, but I was 80 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:07,520 expecting less if I'm honest. Uh, never mind. Are we getting scored on? Nope. 81 00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:09,520 It's fine. Great computer. Moving on. 82 00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:14,440 You know, I wouldn't call it loud. And we are in high performance mode, but 83 00:06:11,039 --> 00:06:14,440 it's not quiet. 84 00:06:15,199 --> 00:06:19,039 I would call the noise acceptable. 85 00:06:19,919 --> 00:06:28,000 I think I'm going to give this keyboard a B+. The switches themselves are 86 00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:30,880 fantastic. And for the most part, it is 87 00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:35,680 really, really good. But the problem is the chassis rigidity just isn't quite 88 00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:41,600 there. And in particular on the left hand side of the keyboard, it is really 89 00:06:38,319 --> 00:06:44,639 floppy. I am not a perfect typist, so I 90 00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:47,120 am kind of bad for using left shift at 91 00:06:44,639 --> 00:06:51,280 times when I'm also hitting like F or R or E or something like that. And when 92 00:06:49,039 --> 00:06:57,520 you hold down the left shift, a couple of these keys become just worse. Oh, 93 00:06:54,880 --> 00:07:01,440 it's so close to being amazing. Might upgrade it to an A minus. Just give it 94 00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:07,800 an A minus minus. We were talking about noise though. I suspect that I will be 95 00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:07,800 underwhelmed. 96 00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:21,599 speakers are downfiring. I'm going to see if Oh. Oh. 97 00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:27,160 Oh, this chassis is so floppy. 98 00:07:21,599 --> 00:07:27,160 You can click the trackpad. Oh, no. 99 00:07:27,759 --> 00:07:30,759 No. 100 00:07:31,759 --> 00:07:38,010 What are you doing, computer? Dell, make 101 00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:41,060 your chassis better. 102 00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:49,240 We'll get to the MacBook in a second, but I want to try something that is 103 00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:49,240 insulting. 104 00:07:54,560 --> 00:08:02,720 In fairness, I do have a Pixel 8 Pro which costs more than this laptop, I 105 00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:04,639 think. But also, it is a phone and it 106 00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:10,160 sounds better. It has more bass and deeper extension. I don't think it's 107 00:08:06,479 --> 00:08:12,240 quite as loud as this laptop, but 108 00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:15,360 ow. Just for fun, let's hear it against the MacBook. All right. In today's 109 00:08:13,599 --> 00:08:21,840 fight, we have Logan Paul versus some school children. the school children 110 00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:24,639 represented by the Dell Plus two in one 111 00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:29,759 and the MacBook. I'm sorry for that, Dell, but improve 112 00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:34,479 your speakers. Jeez. Up top, we get a 1080p webcam. And my favorite thing 113 00:08:32,159 --> 00:08:38,959 about it is if you don't want anyone to see you, they cannot. There's a little 114 00:08:36,719 --> 00:08:42,719 flippy flip switch on the top so you can completely turn off the webcam. But if 115 00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:48,720 you do want to have it on, it looks pretty darn good. Dell, have you fixed 116 00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:53,120 your webcam? Woes. It really seems like it. I'm pointing at studio lights. My 117 00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:57,600 face is still mostly exposed. We're moving around here. Oh, wow. My face is 118 00:08:56,160 --> 00:09:02,959 still correctly exposed. There's not a whole bunch of noise. Nothing like that. 119 00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:06,480 Looking over this way, we have a tiny bit of detail on this, even though it's 120 00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:11,519 completely black. Overall, I am pretty impressed. Dell has in the past 121 00:09:09,680 --> 00:09:15,839 neglected their webcams, but this one right here seems like they have changed 122 00:09:13,279 --> 00:09:18,839 that. All right, let's see those Wi-Fi 7 speeds. 123 00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:23,640 Wow. 124 00:09:24,959 --> 00:09:31,640 Seven Phillips head screws later, two of which are captive, which means that this 125 00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:31,640 should be 126 00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:39,760 pretty easy to get off. We are able to get inside. We can see that we have a 127 00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:44,399 heat pipe right here, just one of them, and one fan. and it was a tiny bit loud, 128 00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:49,839 but I think totally acceptable. We also have our Wi-Fi 7 chip right here and a 129 00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:53,040 tiny little SSD, but if you want to upgrade it with a bigger one, you can. 130 00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:57,519 Now, although many of the aspects of this laptop have been what I would say 131 00:09:54,640 --> 00:10:02,240 are fine, there is one part that is exceptional, and that is the battery. 132 00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:07,279 Right here, we have a 64Wh hour one, and is able to get us 8 hours and 48 minutes 133 00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:14,000 of battery life. That means that even though this is not the most powerful or 134 00:10:11,279 --> 00:10:18,399 really the best at anything, you can do not the best at anything for a really 135 00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:23,839 long time. And I think it's competent enough at everything that I think I can 136 00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:30,959 recommend it. This thing comes in at $850 as spec. And if you want to get it 137 00:10:27,680 --> 00:10:34,079 even cheaper, it's on sale for $6.99, 138 00:10:30,959 --> 00:10:36,320 which in my opinion is a fantastic buy. 139 00:10:34,079 --> 00:10:41,440 Is it a great machine? Maybe not. Is it a machine that you 140 00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:46,000 probably are going to buy anyway and be totally happy with it? Yeah. So, huge 141 00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:51,279 thanks for watching. Hit like, get subscribed, and I hope you have a great 142 00:10:48,079 --> 00:10:51,279 old day. Bye.
