WEBVTT 00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:06.879 On this channel, we cover loads of laptops that are performant, 00:00:03.679 --> 00:00:08.559 interesting, and very expensive. So, 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, 00:00:11.519 --> 00:00:16.880 and it's not crazy expensive. Let's take 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 00:00:19.279 --> 00:00:25.840 have 65 watts of power that is delivered over USB type-C, which I absolutely love 00:00:24.320 --> 00:00:31.920 cuz this will charge your phone really fast as well. In here, we also get a 00:00:28.560 --> 00:00:33.760 stylus. Oh, fancy. This is Dell's active 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 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 00:00:42.879 --> 00:00:52.399 control room that this is actually an optional add-on. So, bye. All right, 00:00:48.480 --> 00:00:55.199 there's the guy. Can we do the pull? 00:00:52.399 --> 00:00:58.480 Yes. All right, let's have a look at the 00:00:56.399 --> 00:01:02.640 definitely not an Inspiron two in one. First of all, I really like this blue. 00:01:00.800 --> 00:01:06.799 It's the sort of thing that's classy but not outright boring. And the design 00:01:04.960 --> 00:01:10.400 overall does not make me think that they just copied Apple, unlike their naming 00:01:08.560 --> 00:01:15.200 schemes. On the right hand side, we have USB typeA and headphone jack. And on the 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. 00:01:20.560 --> 00:01:26.560 2.1 1.4 1 00:01:24.320 --> 00:01:30.880 Dell. One thing I am not super stoked about though is it seems like that the 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 00:01:32.479 --> 00:01:39.240 worst, but that's not great. 00:01:35.680 --> 00:01:39.240 One finger lift. 00:01:42.240 --> 00:01:48.560 Sadly, this laptop is not perfectly balanced, but I won't take away too many 00:01:46.000 --> 00:01:53.439 points for that. The outside looked really, really nice with like this metal 00:01:51.040 --> 00:01:58.320 back cover and the metal bottom cover. Once you open it up, 00:01:56.000 --> 00:02:03.840 you get most of the way there. The screen very nice and glossy, but the 00:02:01.119 --> 00:02:10.119 palm rest is pretty plasticky. It has a bit of a 00:02:05.600 --> 00:02:10.119 bit of a drum line feel to it. 00:02:12.959 --> 00:02:19.760 Okay, let's be fair. We should move away 00:02:16.720 --> 00:02:21.920 this pad right here, but uh it's not the 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 00:02:23.760 --> 00:02:32.400 twoin- one. So, you can have it in tablet mode or tent mode or this mode 00:02:30.800 --> 00:02:36.800 that laptop makers always want me to show off, but I don't think anyone 00:02:33.920 --> 00:02:40.319 actually uses. And of course, laptop mode. Looks like the power button here 00:02:38.640 --> 00:02:44.879 is also a fingerprint reader, and it's also an excellent spot to segue to our 00:02:42.400 --> 00:02:48.560 sponsor. Thanks to Vam for sponsoring this video. Perfect for meetings and 00:02:46.319 --> 00:02:52.319 calls, the VM Rec Dots are your personal assistant on the go.

You know, I knew from looking at the Labs data 00:03:14.159 --> 00:03:22.800 beforehand that this screen was underwhelming and in person it also is 00:03:18.800 --> 00:03:25.200 very underwhelming. It is 1920 by 1200 00:03:22.800 --> 00:03:29.280 touch of course and Dell claims that it is 300 nits peak brightness and we 00:03:27.920 --> 00:03:35.760 measured it in the Labs and it absolutely smashed that reaching 301 00:03:32.959 --> 00:03:39.840 nits. Now for the colors, what exactly your laptop can display depends on the 00:03:38.000 --> 00:03:45.360 color space. So, if you want something that's able to really edit photos, look 00:03:42.879 --> 00:03:49.040 fantastic, have those super saturated colors, you want something that can 00:03:46.879 --> 00:03:53.280 cover all of DCIP3. If you're not looking for that, you want 00:03:50.799 --> 00:03:59.439 something that can cover all of sRGB. That is what most web content is. And 00:03:55.360 --> 00:04:02.799 this right here can cover 63.7% of sRGB, 00:03:59.439 --> 00:04:04.480 which is pretty bad in 2025. This 00:04:02.799 --> 00:04:10.239 combined with the underwhelming brightness means that this display is 00:04:07.760 --> 00:04:16.639 adequate. We also measured an average delta E of 7.68 00:04:13.519 --> 00:04:18.479 when what you want is less than two for 00:04:16.639 --> 00:04:22.560 color work. Now, I did talk to Dell about this and they said that it is 00:04:20.239 --> 00:04:26.960 expected to get those color results. And if you want a better one, maybe go for 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 00:04:29.120 --> 00:04:32.120 writing. 00:04:35.199 --> 00:04:41.440 seems pretty good overall. It's nice. It's accurate. Man, I wish it had art. 00:04:39.680 --> 00:04:45.680 That would be so cool. Now, even if the display is a little bit underwhelming, 00:04:43.280 --> 00:04:50.960 the specs themselves are at least welming. In here, we have a Ryzen AI 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 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 00:05:01.360 --> 00:05:07.199 in the battery life department later, but it will not be helping us get any 00:05:04.960 --> 00:05:13.120 Cinebench records. That said though, you can spec it with a Ryzen AI 7350, 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 00:05:15.919 --> 00:05:23.520 GB of 7500 megat transfer per second RAM, which means you probably cannot 00:05:20.639 --> 00:05:27.080 replace it. You also have a Micron 512 GB SSD, 00:05:28.880 --> 00:05:35.120 MediaTek, which is disappointing, but 00:05:31.919 --> 00:05:37.680 W57 wireless landing card, which is 00:05:35.120 --> 00:05:42.639 really nice to see. And finally, an AMD Radeon 840M graphics. Actually, why did 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 00:05:46.160 --> 00:05:55.120 we do in Rocket League here. I'm at 1200p high quality settings, no 00:05:51.440 --> 00:05:57.680 anti-aliasing, and 00:05:55.120 --> 00:06:02.560 this is looking half decent. Like, it's obviously not incredible, but I was 00:06:00.080 --> 00:06:07.520 expecting less if I'm honest. Uh, never mind. Are we getting scored on? Nope. 00:06:04.080 --> 00:06:09.520 It's fine. Great computer. Moving on. 00:06:07.520 --> 00:06:14.440 You know, I wouldn't call it loud. And we are in high performance mode, but 00:06:11.039 --> 00:06:14.440 it's not quiet. 00:06:15.199 --> 00:06:19.039 I would call the noise acceptable. 00:06:19.919 --> 00:06:28.000 I think I'm going to give this keyboard a B+. The switches themselves are 00:06:24.800 --> 00:06:30.880 fantastic. And for the most part, it is 00:06:28.000 --> 00:06:35.680 really, really good. But the problem is the chassis rigidity just isn't quite 00:06:33.120 --> 00:06:41.600 there. And in particular on the left hand side of the keyboard, it is really 00:06:38.319 --> 00:06:44.639 floppy. I am not a perfect typist, so I 00:06:41.600 --> 00:06:47.120 am kind of bad for using left shift at 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 00:06:49.039 --> 00:06:57.520 you hold down the left shift, a couple of these keys become just worse. Oh, 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 00:06:59.440 --> 00:07:07.800 an A minus minus. We were talking about noise though. I suspect that I will be 00:07:04.800 --> 00:07:07.800 underwhelmed. 00:07:10.880 --> 00:07:21.599 speakers are downfiring. I'm going to see if Oh. Oh. 00:07:18.000 --> 00:07:27.160 Oh, this chassis is so floppy. 00:07:21.599 --> 00:07:27.160 You can click the trackpad. Oh, no. 00:07:27.759 --> 00:07:30.759 No. 00:07:31.759 --> 00:07:38.010 What are you doing, computer? Dell, make 00:07:34.800 --> 00:07:41.060 your chassis better. 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 00:07:46.240 --> 00:07:49.240 insulting. 00:07:54.560 --> 00:08:02.720 In fairness, I do have a Pixel 8 Pro which costs more than this laptop, I 00:07:59.360 --> 00:08:04.639 think. But also, it is a phone and it 00:08:02.720 --> 00:08:10.160 sounds better. It has more bass and deeper extension. I don't think it's 00:08:06.479 --> 00:08:12.240 quite as loud as this laptop, but 00:08:10.160 --> 00:08:15.360 ow. Just for fun, let's hear it against the MacBook. All right. In today's 00:08:13.599 --> 00:08:21.840 fight, we have Logan Paul versus some school children. the school children 00:08:17.280 --> 00:08:24.639 represented by the Dell Plus two in one 00:08:21.840 --> 00:08:29.759 and the MacBook. I'm sorry for that, Dell, but improve 00:08:27.360 --> 00:08:34.479 your speakers. Jeez. Up top, we get a 1080p webcam. And my favorite thing 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 00:08:36.719 --> 00:08:42.719 flippy flip switch on the top so you can completely turn off the webcam. But if 00:08:41.200 --> 00:08:48.720 you do want to have it on, it looks pretty darn good. Dell, have you fixed 00:08:46.320 --> 00:08:53.120 your webcam? Woes. It really seems like it. I'm pointing at studio lights. My 00:08:50.640 --> 00:08:57.600 face is still mostly exposed. We're moving around here. Oh, wow. My face is 00:08:56.160 --> 00:09:02.959 still correctly exposed. There's not a whole bunch of noise. Nothing like that. 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 00:09:04.480 --> 00:09:11.519 completely black. Overall, I am pretty impressed. Dell has in the past 00:09:09.680 --> 00:09:15.839 neglected their webcams, but this one right here seems like they have changed 00:09:13.279 --> 00:09:18.839 that. All right, let's see those Wi-Fi 7 speeds. 00:09:20.640 --> 00:09:23.640 Wow. 00:09:24.959 --> 00:09:31.640 Seven Phillips head screws later, two of which are captive, which means that this 00:09:28.480 --> 00:09:31.640 should be 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 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, 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 00:09:47.440 --> 00:09:53.040 tiny little SSD, but if you want to upgrade it with a bigger one, you can. 00:09:51.600 --> 00:09:57.519 Now, although many of the aspects of this laptop have been what I would say 00:09:54.640 --> 00:10:02.240 are fine, there is one part that is exceptional, and that is the battery. 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 00:10:05.040 --> 00:10:14.000 of battery life. That means that even though this is not the most powerful or 00:10:11.279 --> 00:10:18.399 really the best at anything, you can do not the best at anything for a really 00:10:16.160 --> 00:10:23.839 long time. And I think it's competent enough at everything that I think I can 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 00:10:27.680 --> 00:10:34.079 even cheaper, it's on sale for $6.99, 00:10:30.959 --> 00:10:36.320 which in my opinion is a fantastic buy. 00:10:34.079 --> 00:10:41.440 Is it a great machine? Maybe not. Is it a machine that you 00:10:39.360 --> 00:10:46.000 probably are going to buy anyway and be totally happy with it? Yeah. So, huge 00:10:44.160 --> 00:10:51.279 thanks for watching. Hit like, get subscribed, and I hope you have a great 00:10:48.079 --> 00:10:51.279 old day. Bye.
