1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:06,200
on today's episode of wow it's a laptop I might actually buy we've got the D

2
00:00:03,879 --> 00:00:11,240
Inspiron 14 and I think it's good I guess we're going to find out soon first

3
00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:15,160
thing up is the charger it is 65 ws and it's type- C I really like to see type c

4
00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:18,840
on these just because I don't know it's type- C you can plug lots of things into

5
00:00:17,279 --> 00:00:24,039
this you can charge your phone with it if you want to I did that over the weekend cuz I forgot my phone charger

6
00:00:21,519 --> 00:00:31,279
it's awesome also it's 65 WTS isn't a particularly powerful laptop but it's

7
00:00:26,679 --> 00:00:34,079
fine all right I can go off the side

8
00:00:31,279 --> 00:00:40,600
wow okay oh we have these instructions here plug it in and turn it on excellent

9
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:43,239
and here we have the laptop so this guy

10
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:50,559
right here I think comes in at $1,050 but the option that you probably

11
00:00:45,719 --> 00:00:50,559
want is $850 which is much more

12
00:00:51,079 --> 00:00:58,559
reasonable yeah this is another one of those the most expensive budget laptop

13
00:00:55,680 --> 00:01:04,439
you can buy on it's kind of heavy like it's it's uh it's not a large

14
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:08,200
machine but it's not as small as I was expecting there's no GPU in here or

15
00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:13,880
anything what do I even say about how this looks jonno like it's a laptop yeah

16
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:17,520
yeah it's the kind of thing where it's the laptop where no one's going to know

17
00:01:15,799 --> 00:01:22,640
what it is it's just like oh that's a nice laptop it's a non nonsense laptop

18
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:28,680
yeah no nonsense is a good word for this let's have a look at the io micro SD

19
00:01:25,119 --> 00:01:32,119
slot type a headphone jack go over to

20
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:36,520
the other side there's our USBC power

21
00:01:32,119 --> 00:01:38,960
input type A P again and fullsize HDMI

22
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:46,159
don't know if it's 2.1 I'm guessing no but if it is editor put a big yes on

23
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:46,159
check mark or something here we

24
00:01:47,399 --> 00:01:55,240
go there we go okay that's a bit that's

25
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:55,240
a bit squishy little bit

26
00:01:56,079 --> 00:02:05,640
of especially right here the rigidity is good on this of the device and then over

27
00:02:02,399 --> 00:02:08,080
here it's not quite the same now we need

28
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:15,239
to be fair the biggest competition for this is the HP Pavilion this the arow

29
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:23,239
13 so this one right here has an all magnesium chassis and it's HP is a lot

30
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:24,840
lighter and yeah the HP is way stiffer

31
00:02:23,239 --> 00:02:29,959
like I'm pressing with the same amount of force and it's not giving at all Dell

32
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:33,440
on the other hand you can see that difference right there I'm pushing with

33
00:02:31,519 --> 00:02:37,920
about the same amount of force Dell isn't quite as well

34
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:44,280
built oh these are essentially the same price you can configure them slightly

35
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:47,640
differently but like same processor same

36
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:49,599
RAM but with the HP can't do go that far

37
00:02:47,640 --> 00:02:55,640
on the Dell you can go all the way around and also it is a

38
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:58,400
touchcreen which I really like to see this one right here you can touch it all

39
00:02:57,080 --> 00:03:05,480
you want and it's not going to do a whole lot I do of course wish we had the

40
00:03:02,239 --> 00:03:07,560
16x 10 I always say that just a little

41
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:12,680
bit more on the bottom and the top I would like to see it but oh well this is

42
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:17,840
a pretty nice panel given what the price point is I guess it did just start right

43
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:22,080
up there jonno uh okay let's test out this keyboard this is the kind of thing

44
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:29,920
where when you have chassis rigidity that's resembling a floppy noodle it's

45
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:29,920
not a good sign for your keyboard

46
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:32,599
but it's quite

47
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:41,480
good yeah I really like this keyboard it's just it's Snappy I don't know how

48
00:03:38,439 --> 00:03:43,519
else to describe it they have like a

49
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:49,319
really nice tactile bump and then it sort of just turns to Mush but it

50
00:03:46,439 --> 00:03:53,159
doesn't really matter because like yeah parts of the chassis aren't all that

51
00:03:51,159 --> 00:03:56,280
stiff and parts of them are but because you're getting that nice tactile bump

52
00:03:54,840 --> 00:04:01,400
right at the start the rest of the travel doesn't really matter so good job

53
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:05,400
Dell your keyboard switches here are decent also they have a keyboard

54
00:04:03,519 --> 00:04:11,959
backlight standard that's one thing that this Inspiron 2 in one gets right that

55
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:15,000
the HP Pavilion Arrow 13 does not you

56
00:04:11,959 --> 00:04:17,120
can't really screw up the config in this

57
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:21,759
by trying to be cheap so there's a bunch of dumb stuff with the HP where like you

58
00:04:20,079 --> 00:04:26,199
don't get a keyboard backlight or you get one by one Wi-Fi and just crap like

59
00:04:24,639 --> 00:04:33,080
that the things that you want to have are just in the D also there's only two

60
00:04:28,639 --> 00:04:36,639
configs of the AMD one so you have $850

61
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:37,880
for the ryzen 5 it's fine 8 GB RAM isn't

62
00:04:36,639 --> 00:04:42,600
great but I guess we'll find out later if you can upgrade it what do we call this people said in the last one that it

63
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:47,639
was a mid-range laptop but like mid-range is weird what is midrange yeah

64
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:53,360
what even is mid-range is mid-range like a $600 Flex 14 cuz this is way nicer

65
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:57,000
than that as for the trackpad though it's okay this might be one of the

66
00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:02,360
ones sometimes

67
00:05:01,280 --> 00:05:07,360
yeah sometimes you just need a little bit of finger Lube it it was a little

68
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:13,919
bit sticky there it felt kind of oh there we go nice get some thumb grease

69
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:15,600
in there ah it is better perfect yeah so

70
00:05:13,919 --> 00:05:19,120
sometimes these trackpads come in and they're they feel kind of sticky this

71
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:23,039
one right here my finger was kind of skipping across it but you get just a

72
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:28,639
little bit of your finger grease on there and it feels good now I like it

73
00:05:26,199 --> 00:05:34,680
you don't want to Doritos it jono we want just a light finger lubing

74
00:05:31,840 --> 00:05:37,360
we don't want to greas her up hey you can hear that

75
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:45,199
it's that's a really gross feeling click yeah so

76
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:50,440
like right here just a little bit of a click and you can hear

77
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:55,919
it that feels pretty good but if you press a little bit further

78
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:57,080
it's feels like I'm breaking it I'm I

79
00:05:55,919 --> 00:06:03,400
don't think I'm supposed to be able to do that but it just just completely caves

80
00:06:01,199 --> 00:06:08,440
in they need something to support it underneath there or maybe your unit's

81
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:12,800
just broken oh that the HP is way nicer

82
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:12,800
like you just hear the difference like

83
00:06:14,599 --> 00:06:21,759
versus I can't tell if the HP looks better because the colors are more

84
00:06:19,599 --> 00:06:27,520
saturated or because it's better at displaying and the top down it's no

85
00:06:24,319 --> 00:06:29,840
contest so there we go that's a bit more

86
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:35,639
fair to what I'm seeing but it is is the kind of thing where the HP is without a

87
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:37,000
doubt brighter and just more colorful

88
00:06:35,639 --> 00:06:42,160
which is going to be particularly annoying given that the HP also has a

89
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:45,599
matte finish so I feel like with this Dell there's going to be a lot of

90
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:50,400
situations where if you're in a bright area it's just not going to be bright

91
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:52,560
enough HP also has 16x 10 like to see

92
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:56,039
that okay let's try out the fingerprint reader here

93
00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:02,240
lock okay not the snappy ever but that

94
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:06,680
worked pretty well actually let's see let's completely sleep it I'm guessing

95
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:11,400
there's no caching but we can see if I touch

96
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:13,400
it oh that worked really well yeah if

97
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:17,080
your computer's asleep and you just press the power button by the time that

98
00:07:14,879 --> 00:07:20,240
your finger coming off of it it signed you in that was really good actually so

99
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:25,520
good job on the fingerprint reader Dell it's much better than having it down

100
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:30,280
here so then you have to like press it and then come over here it's make it one

101
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:35,639
button yeah one button so much better play some games I'm kind of curious if I

102
00:07:33,479 --> 00:07:39,720
can well what do you think I'm going to download

103
00:07:36,759 --> 00:07:45,800
jonno No I'm going to download valheim it's the perfect test of every

104
00:07:42,039 --> 00:07:48,440
laptop I haven't used an APU to game for

105
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:52,520
a little bit like two generations if you're able to game on this that's

106
00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:57,039
really great news for all the kids who parents get a laptop like this for work

107
00:07:55,159 --> 00:08:06,080
let's try 1080p uh low this right

108
00:08:00,919 --> 00:08:07,599
here uh it looks pretty runin scapy and

109
00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:12,840
I definitely need to turn down the resolution okay

110
00:08:09,879 --> 00:08:18,919
720 okay this this works it feels like it's close to 60 FPS but like this is

111
00:08:16,919 --> 00:08:22,560
the sort of thing where you can play this game you can hop on a server with

112
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:26,639
your friends and as long as you don't make a mansion you're going to be able

113
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:32,640
to play valheim just fine it won't be an amazing experience but if you're Dad or

114
00:08:29,919 --> 00:08:37,919
Mom gets this laptop for work you can happily start gaming on it and it'll do

115
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:43,320
it like games don't get better with what Hardware you have well they do but it's

116
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:47,160
the same game at the end of the day okay I can dig it I said the HP here will do

117
00:08:45,279 --> 00:08:52,080
the same basic thing I'm guessing the Dell is going to have a tiny bit more

118
00:08:55,760 --> 00:09:00,920
fpss because there is more intakes here

119
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:05,440
and you have these nice exhaust vents at the back and also the screen does lift

120
00:09:03,680 --> 00:09:09,560
it up a bit to give you a bit more air underneath but I don't want to say that

121
00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:17,399
for sure because I haven't actually tested them

122
00:09:11,399 --> 00:09:21,320
now cyell Inspiron 14 take on the HP

123
00:09:17,399 --> 00:09:24,839
Pavilion Aro 13 in Crab

124
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:27,839
Rave sounds pretty good that sounds

125
00:09:24,839 --> 00:09:30,880
really good one second it's down firing

126
00:09:27,839 --> 00:09:33,040
I need to get rid of the mous pad

127
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:40,560
okay so we have the Dell here oh yep not even

128
00:09:40,560 --> 00:09:48,079
close yeah well Dell good job on the speakers

129
00:09:45,560 --> 00:09:51,720
on your Inspiron 14 here uh they completely blow HPS out of the

130
00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:59,680
water now of course we do need to you know as is

131
00:09:57,279 --> 00:10:03,940
tradition bring out the big

132
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:07,269
Dingus so

133
00:10:08,279 --> 00:10:11,519
Inspiron

134
00:10:11,519 --> 00:10:17,200
H the ins Bron sounds better which I think means something's wrong with my

135
00:10:24,959 --> 00:10:29,360
XPS okay yeah

136
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:36,519
hey lonus you know how the surface laptop uh Studio had much better

137
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:40,399
speakers than this the other day yeah it's because the stupid audio drivers

138
00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:45,560
were broken it's amazing how much audio is like in software now yeah cuz this

139
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:51,480
sounded way better and I was like that's wrong but

140
00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:59,880
now this is just it blows it out of the water oops Yeah so yes in a shocker to

141
00:10:55,959 --> 00:11:03,720
nobody Dell's more expensive flag

142
00:10:59,880 --> 00:11:07,120
laptop is better sounding than

143
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:09,480
their laptop that's oneir of the price

144
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:14,600
although if your drivers aren't installed the Inspiron 14's better now I

145
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:18,760
really want to take this thing apart because you only have two configs of

146
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:24,279
this so there's the ryzen 7 that has the 16 G of RAM and the ryzen 5 that has

147
00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:27,839
eight now what I would want to do is get

148
00:11:24,279 --> 00:11:30,200
the cheaper ryzen 5 version 850 bucks

149
00:11:27,839 --> 00:11:33,600
you're good like you you use it for a year or two and then when you have a

150
00:11:31,639 --> 00:11:38,440
little bit more money saved up you can upgrade it 16 GB of RAM and throw in

151
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:44,279
like a 1 TB SSD or something and then it's wicked for a long

152
00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:46,519
time or if I can't do that

153
00:11:44,279 --> 00:11:51,600
then I don't know buy a laptop that you can upgrade the RAM on this is the kind

154
00:11:48,399 --> 00:11:53,600
of laptop that I would actually buy

155
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:58,480
because I own a desktop I don't need something very powerful I would buy

156
00:11:55,880 --> 00:12:01,959
something like this and it's going to be good enough

157
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:07,200
and having the ability to upgrade it down the road would be awesome because

158
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:11,440
then you know I can hopefully use it for like 6 years or something and if the

159
00:12:09,519 --> 00:12:14,200
trackpad breaks who cares you just buy a new one and check it

160
00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:20,000

here sorry that hat uh LTG star.com um

166
00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:49,079
I'm going to take it out cuz I actually don't know if it's the SSD because it's

167
00:12:45,279 --> 00:12:52,480
so freaking small it is that's so cute

168
00:12:49,079 --> 00:12:54,199
little 512 GB right there it's adorable

169
00:12:52,480 --> 00:13:00,240
and the nice thing is that although they put this although they put this super small

170
00:12:57,480 --> 00:13:06,079
SSD in there there is enough room that you can put a full blones one if you

171
00:13:03,279 --> 00:13:11,360
want hate it when they only have room for the small SSD Microsoft yeah so I

172
00:13:09,279 --> 00:13:16,480
guess if you're looking for a laptop that's

173
00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:18,519
$850 and has a touchcreen this is an

174
00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:23,519
excellent option I would say it's a tossup for me if I would choose the Dell

175
00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:27,560
or the HP I really like the fact that I can easily get into the dell and repair

176
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:34,120
it down the road this is a sort of laptop where if you just want and laptop

177
00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:37,160
it's a very solid option like No Frills

178
00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:39,519
but like good enough quality that you're

179
00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:46,120
never going to be mad at it and pretty good power like eight cores it played

180
00:13:42,560 --> 00:13:48,920
