WEBVTT

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

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

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

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

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

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

00:00:26.679 --> 00:00:34.079
fine all right I can go off the side

00:00:31.279 --> 00:00:40.600
wow okay oh we have these instructions here plug it in and turn it on excellent

00:00:37.120 --> 00:00:43.239
and here we have the laptop so this guy

00:00:40.600 --> 00:00:50.559
right here I think comes in at $1,050 but the option that you probably

00:00:45.719 --> 00:00:50.559
want is $850 which is much more

00:00:51.079 --> 00:00:58.559
reasonable yeah this is another one of those the most expensive budget laptop

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

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

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

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

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

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

00:01:25.119 --> 00:01:32.119
slot type a headphone jack go over to

00:01:28.680 --> 00:01:36.520
the other side there's our USBC power

00:01:32.119 --> 00:01:38.960
input type A P again and fullsize HDMI

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

00:01:42.200 --> 00:01:46.159
check mark or something here we

00:01:47.399 --> 00:01:55.240
go there we go okay that's a bit that's

00:01:51.040 --> 00:01:55.240
a bit squishy little bit

00:01:56.079 --> 00:02:05.640
of especially right here the rigidity is good on this of the device and then over

00:02:02.399 --> 00:02:08.080
here it's not quite the same now we need

00:02:05.640 --> 00:02:15.239
to be fair the biggest competition for this is the HP Pavilion this the arow

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

00:02:19.560 --> 00:02:24.840
lighter and yeah the HP is way stiffer

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

00:02:27.680 --> 00:02:33.440
on the other hand you can see that difference right there I'm pushing with

00:02:31.519 --> 00:02:37.920
about the same amount of force Dell isn't quite as well

00:02:35.440 --> 00:02:44.280
built oh these are essentially the same price you can configure them slightly

00:02:40.400 --> 00:02:47.640
differently but like same processor same

00:02:44.280 --> 00:02:49.599
RAM but with the HP can't do go that far

00:02:47.640 --> 00:02:55.640
on the Dell you can go all the way around and also it is a

00:02:52.800 --> 00:02:58.400
touchcreen which I really like to see this one right here you can touch it all

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

00:03:02.239 --> 00:03:07.560
16x 10 I always say that just a little

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

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

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

00:03:20.040 --> 00:03:29.920
where when you have chassis rigidity that's resembling a floppy noodle it's

00:03:25.040 --> 00:03:29.920
not a good sign for your keyboard

00:03:30.080 --> 00:03:32.599
but it's quite

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

00:03:38.439 --> 00:03:43.519
else to describe it they have like a

00:03:41.480 --> 00:03:49.319
really nice tactile bump and then it sort of just turns to Mush but it

00:03:46.439 --> 00:03:53.159
doesn't really matter because like yeah parts of the chassis aren't all that

00:03:51.159 --> 00:03:56.280
stiff and parts of them are but because you're getting that nice tactile bump

00:03:54.840 --> 00:04:01.400
right at the start the rest of the travel doesn't really matter so good job

00:03:59.200 --> 00:04:05.400
Dell your keyboard switches here are decent also they have a keyboard

00:04:03.519 --> 00:04:11.959
backlight standard that's one thing that this Inspiron 2 in one gets right that

00:04:08.360 --> 00:04:15.000
the HP Pavilion Arrow 13 does not you

00:04:11.959 --> 00:04:17.120
can't really screw up the config in this

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

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

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

00:04:28.639 --> 00:04:36.639
configs of the AMD one so you have $850

00:04:33.080 --> 00:04:37.880
for the ryzen 5 it's fine 8 GB RAM isn't

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

00:04:41.000 --> 00:04:47.639
was a mid-range laptop but like mid-range is weird what is midrange yeah

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

00:04:50.400 --> 00:04:57.000
than that as for the trackpad though it's okay this might be one of the

00:04:57.560 --> 00:05:02.360
ones sometimes

00:05:01.280 --> 00:05:07.360
yeah sometimes you just need a little bit of finger Lube it it was a little

00:05:05.000 --> 00:05:13.919
bit sticky there it felt kind of oh there we go nice get some thumb grease

00:05:09.880 --> 00:05:15.600
in there ah it is better perfect yeah so

00:05:13.919 --> 00:05:19.120
sometimes these trackpads come in and they're they feel kind of sticky this

00:05:17.680 --> 00:05:23.039
one right here my finger was kind of skipping across it but you get just a

00:05:21.520 --> 00:05:28.639
little bit of your finger grease on there and it feels good now I like it

00:05:26.199 --> 00:05:34.680
you don't want to Doritos it jono we want just a light finger lubing

00:05:31.840 --> 00:05:37.360
we don't want to greas her up hey you can hear that

00:05:37.960 --> 00:05:45.199
it's that's a really gross feeling click yeah so

00:05:43.240 --> 00:05:50.440
like right here just a little bit of a click and you can hear

00:05:47.680 --> 00:05:55.919
it that feels pretty good but if you press a little bit further

00:05:52.680 --> 00:05:57.080
it's feels like I'm breaking it I'm I

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

00:06:01.199 --> 00:06:08.440
in they need something to support it underneath there or maybe your unit's

00:06:05.120 --> 00:06:12.800
just broken oh that the HP is way nicer

00:06:08.440 --> 00:06:12.800
like you just hear the difference like

00:06:14.599 --> 00:06:21.759
versus I can't tell if the HP looks better because the colors are more

00:06:19.599 --> 00:06:27.520
saturated or because it's better at displaying and the top down it's no

00:06:24.319 --> 00:06:29.840
contest so there we go that's a bit more

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

00:06:32.080 --> 00:06:37.000
doubt brighter and just more colorful

00:06:35.639 --> 00:06:42.160
which is going to be particularly annoying given that the HP also has a

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

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

00:06:47.240 --> 00:06:52.560
enough HP also has 16x 10 like to see

00:06:50.400 --> 00:06:56.039
that okay let's try out the fingerprint reader here

00:06:57.160 --> 00:07:02.240
lock okay not the snappy ever but that

00:07:00.520 --> 00:07:06.680
worked pretty well actually let's see let's completely sleep it I'm guessing

00:07:04.440 --> 00:07:11.400
there's no caching but we can see if I touch

00:07:07.800 --> 00:07:13.400
it oh that worked really well yeah if

00:07:11.400 --> 00:07:17.080
your computer's asleep and you just press the power button by the time that

00:07:14.879 --> 00:07:20.240
your finger coming off of it it signed you in that was really good actually so

00:07:18.800 --> 00:07:25.520
good job on the fingerprint reader Dell it's much better than having it down

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

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

00:07:33.479 --> 00:07:39.720
can well what do you think I'm going to download

00:07:36.759 --> 00:07:45.800
jonno No I'm going to download valheim it's the perfect test of every

00:07:42.039 --> 00:07:48.440
laptop I haven't used an APU to game for

00:07:45.800 --> 00:07:52.520
a little bit like two generations if you're able to game on this that's

00:07:50.360 --> 00:07:57.039
really great news for all the kids who parents get a laptop like this for work

00:07:55.159 --> 00:08:06.080
let's try 1080p uh low this right

00:08:00.919 --> 00:08:07.599
here uh it looks pretty runin scapy and

00:08:06.080 --> 00:08:12.840
I definitely need to turn down the resolution okay

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

00:08:55.760 --> 00:09:00.920
fpss because there is more intakes here

00:08:58.880 --> 00:09:05.440
and you have these nice exhaust vents at the back and also the screen does lift

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

00:09:07.160 --> 00:09:17.399
for sure because I haven't actually tested them

00:09:11.399 --> 00:09:21.320
now cyell Inspiron 14 take on the HP

00:09:17.399 --> 00:09:24.839
Pavilion Aro 13 in Crab

00:09:21.320 --> 00:09:27.839
Rave sounds pretty good that sounds

00:09:24.839 --> 00:09:30.880
really good one second it's down firing

00:09:27.839 --> 00:09:33.040
I need to get rid of the mous pad

00:09:30.880 --> 00:09:40.560
okay so we have the Dell here oh yep not even

00:09:40.560 --> 00:09:48.079
close yeah well Dell good job on the speakers

00:09:45.560 --> 00:09:51.720
on your Inspiron 14 here uh they completely blow HPS out of the

00:09:51.920 --> 00:09:59.680
water now of course we do need to you know as is

00:09:57.279 --> 00:10:03.940
tradition bring out the big

00:10:01.600 --> 00:10:07.269
Dingus so

00:10:08.279 --> 00:10:11.519
Inspiron

00:10:11.519 --> 00:10:17.200
H the ins Bron sounds better which I think means something's wrong with my

00:10:24.959 --> 00:10:29.360
XPS okay yeah

00:10:30.000 --> 00:10:36.519
hey lonus you know how the surface laptop uh Studio had much better

00:10:34.880 --> 00:10:40.399
speakers than this the other day yeah it's because the stupid audio drivers

00:10:37.920 --> 00:10:45.560
were broken it's amazing how much audio is like in software now yeah cuz this

00:10:43.720 --> 00:10:51.480
sounded way better and I was like that's wrong but

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

00:10:55.959 --> 00:11:03.720
nobody Dell's more expensive flag

00:10:59.880 --> 00:11:07.120
laptop is better sounding than

00:11:03.720 --> 00:11:09.480
their laptop that's oneir of the price

00:11:07.120 --> 00:11:14.600
although if your drivers aren't installed the Inspiron 14's better now I

00:11:12.720 --> 00:11:18.760
really want to take this thing apart because you only have two configs of

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

00:11:21.160 --> 00:11:27.839
eight now what I would want to do is get

00:11:24.279 --> 00:11:30.200
the cheaper ryzen 5 version 850 bucks

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

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

00:11:35.600 --> 00:11:44.279
like a 1 TB SSD or something and then it's wicked for a long

00:11:40.160 --> 00:11:46.519
time or if I can't do that

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

00:11:48.399 --> 00:11:53.600
of laptop that I would actually buy

00:11:51.600 --> 00:11:58.480
because I own a desktop I don't need something very powerful I would buy

00:11:55.880 --> 00:12:01.959
something like this and it's going to be good enough

00:12:00.000 --> 00:12:07.200
and having the ability to upgrade it down the road would be awesome because

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

00:12:09.519 --> 00:12:14.200
trackpad breaks who cares you just buy a new one and check it

00:12:14.440 --> 00:12:20.000
in that plastic yeah this this is

00:12:17.959 --> 00:12:26.519
plastic I think the chassis also is plastic let's see oh this looks good

00:12:22.800 --> 00:12:31.880
awesome one RAM two RAM you can upgrade

00:12:26.519 --> 00:12:34.839
them Bippity bity uh your sodm slot

00:12:31.880 --> 00:12:41.720
to there you go there's a sticker RAM is this our SSD right

00:12:36.959 --> 00:12:43.040
here sorry that hat uh LTG star.com um

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

00:12:45.279 --> 00:12:52.480
so freaking small it is that's so cute

00:12:49.079 --> 00:12:54.199
little 512 GB right there it's adorable

00:12:52.480 --> 00:13:00.240
and the nice thing is that although they put this although they put this super small

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

00:13:03.279 --> 00:13:11.360
want hate it when they only have room for the small SSD Microsoft yeah so I

00:13:09.279 --> 00:13:16.480
guess if you're looking for a laptop that's

00:13:12.920 --> 00:13:18.519
$850 and has a touchcreen this is an

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

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

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

00:13:30.720 --> 00:13:37.160
it's a very solid option like No Frills

00:13:34.120 --> 00:13:39.519
but like good enough quality that you're
