1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:05,600
i don't know what's most shocking about this thing the fact that it's so

2
00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:10,480
stealthy and clean the fact that it's made by dell or the fact that it costs

3
00:00:08,559 --> 00:00:15,280
just six hundred dollars which is a little over half of what apple charges

4
00:00:12,639 --> 00:00:18,560
for their monitor stand which doesn't have a computer in it what a

5
00:00:17,359 --> 00:00:24,320
value and it gets so much better i mean look

6
00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:29,119
at this thing it's a full-fledged computer in here and it really does pop

7
00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:32,000
apart that easily for maintenance it's even got space for a two and a half inch

8
00:00:31,039 --> 00:00:37,200
drive and it gets even better

9
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:41,120
with smart deploy it can manage every Windows endpoint in their environment

10
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:45,520

12
00:00:55,199 --> 00:01:00,879
the first time anyone outside of dell heard about the optiplex 7070 l trump

13
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:05,760
was in a press release back in august 2019 and you guys might be thinking

14
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:09,439
that's a long time ago didn't you guys miss the review window for this by

15
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:15,119
almost two years great question dell positioned this as a first of its kind

16
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:17,920
concept hiding a complete pc inside a

17
00:01:15,119 --> 00:01:22,320
monitor stand for a clutter-free zero footprint desktop kind of like an

18
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:26,880
all-in-one but with the ability to upgrade the display and the pc

19
00:01:24,159 --> 00:01:30,560
separately and also choose any mounting system that you want thanks to the

20
00:01:28,479 --> 00:01:33,920
included vasa adapter also inside the box are all the cables

21
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:38,799
that you'll need to get up and running with any monitor that has a displayport

22
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:44,159
connection and a built-in usb hub so most of them if you've got a display

23
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:47,600
though that runs off of usbc that's even more awesome because not only can you

24
00:01:45,759 --> 00:01:52,720
use a single cable for your display signal and your usb hub but the computer

25
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:57,759
module can be powered straight off of the display as long as it supports usb

26
00:01:54,880 --> 00:02:01,600
power delivery now the 27 inch lg ultra gear that we're using doesn't have type

27
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:06,719
c so we're gonna have a bit of cable clutter but it's still pretty good and a

28
00:02:04,719 --> 00:02:12,080
nice bonus is that unlike the basic stand that lg provides dell's pro stand

29
00:02:09,599 --> 00:02:16,239
here pivots from side to side and can rotate in either direction

30
00:02:14,239 --> 00:02:20,959
dell really has had monitor ergonomics down for a long time and it shows here

31
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:25,599
and this isn't even the only option you can get a large version for up to 40

32
00:02:22,879 --> 00:02:30,239
inch displays a fixed stand for 24 inch and under wall mounts and offset vase

33
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:35,599
amounts for attaching to arms the setup process is super easy they list five

34
00:02:32,959 --> 00:02:39,920
steps on the stand itself and that's all it takes to get you going however it

35
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:43,599
should be noted that once you set it up it's nearly impossible to plug cables

36
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:48,080
into the main ports without disassembling the whole thing though to

37
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:52,640
be fair that is pretty minor since it is so quick and easy to do can i do it

38
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:52,640
without looking

39
00:02:53,760 --> 00:03:01,280
just push the latch pull up and then unclip the module

40
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:06,720
and then do that in reverse to get it back together

41
00:03:04,159 --> 00:03:11,040
but all we've talked about so far is the stand itself

42
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:13,360
what about the pc right

43
00:03:11,920 --> 00:03:19,120
the pc well it's old um

44
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:22,879
the thing is this kind of got lost in the warehouse and we kind of completely

45
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:26,400
forgot about it until we did a big inventory on it first the good news

46
00:03:24,959 --> 00:03:32,400
there's a two and a half inch saturday here that is super easy to get to just

47
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:35,040
one screw and digging deeper oh so hard

48
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:40,480
we find two easy access ddr4 sodium slots and a 30 millimeter NVMe capable

49
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:42,080
m.2 there's actually a second m.2 slot

50
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:47,840
here if you wanted to add more storage but it's got a wi-fi card in it right now

51
00:03:44,879 --> 00:03:52,000
and you probably want wi-fi unless you don't i mean it does have Ethernet so

52
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:56,080
it's up to you and whatever you want to do dell has an excellent service manual

53
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:58,959
that has guides on how to access and replace everything complete with part

54
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:03,280
numbers man this is just something you don't see

55
00:04:01,439 --> 00:04:07,680
on consumer-grade machines these days like

56
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:08,799
clearly we have the technology right

57
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:13,519
this is one of the reasons that Anthony's old computer shop really liked

58
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:17,840
selling off-lease optiplexes and vostros just

59
00:04:14,959 --> 00:04:21,359
so much easier to work with to a limit as for the CPU

60
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:26,160
it's not replaceable and because we sat on our butts for so long we're looking

61
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:28,320
at an 8th gen Intel core i7 8665u which

62
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:33,280
is a quad core coffee lake mobile CPU with a max turbo of 4.8 gigahertz now

63
00:04:31,199 --> 00:04:38,000
thankfully ours isn't configured for TDP down or the base clock would be just 800

64
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:43,360
megahertz so let's do a quick 10-minute cinebench run and see what it looks like

65
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:49,360
actually not bad it scored about as well as a 15 watt 11th gen core i7 and the 28

66
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:53,520
watt version score is about 26 higher than that so it's actually not as slow

67
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:57,680
as you might think of course though performance isn't what

68
00:04:55,600 --> 00:05:02,080
we came here for because it's outdated so let's talk about

69
00:04:59,840 --> 00:05:06,479
thermals this is actually one scenario where Intel's definition of TDP really

70
00:05:04,479 --> 00:05:12,240
comes in handy because dell is able to let the CPU run hot for the 26 seconds

71
00:05:09,280 --> 00:05:16,160
short duration turbo saturate the cooler and then dial it back we can actually

72
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:21,440
see that in our package power readings where the short duration is 51 watts and

73
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:26,479
the long duration is the stated 25 watt TDP which it comfortably handles

74
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:29,880
indefinitely at around 85 degrees or so just like our insulated water bottle

75
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:34,639
comfortably handles your hot beverages lttstore.com the fan has a reasonably

76
00:05:32,479 --> 00:05:39,039
smooth ramp up although sadly it has a bit of an annoying wine to it but

77
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:43,280
thankfully the display actually blocks a fair bit of its high pitch so if you've

78
00:05:41,039 --> 00:05:47,199
got an hvac system or a desk fan running you probably won't hear it at all it

79
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:50,960
does seem like they could have done a bit more with the cooling though if they

80
00:05:49,280 --> 00:05:56,000
didn't have to cater to monitor ARM setups though at the end of the day this

81
00:05:53,280 --> 00:06:00,319
is a business machine and businesses to really like their monitor arms and they

82
00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:04,479
like their upgrades so you can actually still buy the 8th gen version that we

83
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:07,680
have here for a decent discount get subscribed by the way because we've got

84
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:11,600
a video on some really interesting CPU deals we found coming up but dell also

85
00:06:09,919 --> 00:06:16,960
offers a modern upgrade that features 11th gen parts called the optiplex 7090

86
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:21,840
ultra it still caps out at 4 cores but now the cpus are 28 watt and have a much

87
00:06:19,840 --> 00:06:26,960
higher base frequency of 3 gigahertz with xc graphics and a Thunderbolt 4

88
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:31,199
connector meaning that conceivably you could have one of these all-in-ones with

89
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:35,360
an external GPU curiously they've decided to add a full-size displayport

90
00:06:33,199 --> 00:06:40,160
connector but it doesn't take up any extra space thanks to stacking the usb

91
00:06:37,199 --> 00:06:44,240
type a's i guess including a type c to displayport cable cost more than just

92
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:47,520
retooling the design and as far as pricing goes by the way it's not

93
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:52,160
actually that much more expensive starting at 7.49 although for a similar

94
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:54,560
trim to what we have here you are looking at spending over a thousand

95
00:06:53,440 --> 00:07:00,639
dollars leading to my final question for dell

96
00:06:57,919 --> 00:07:05,120
why the hell isn't this a consumer thing you've got inspiring all-in-ones with

97
00:07:02,639 --> 00:07:09,280
similar hardware and stowaway webcams but they only come with 1080p displays

98
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:13,039
so we're locked to that for no apparent reason and not only that once they're

99
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:17,599
obsolete they effectively become paperweights you can't even repurpose

100
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:22,479
the display without a major hack jog i mean logistically it can't be easy to

101
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:26,080
manage so many skus for the same stupid all-in-one wouldn't it actually be more

102
00:07:24,319 --> 00:07:29,840
efficient to have a modular approach like this which you have already

103
00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:34,479
engineered where you just bundle the display with the machine and snap the

104
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:39,199
parts together for this really basically all-in-one experience i mean

105
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:43,919
imagine how simple your warranty repairs would be pull the cover off remove the

106
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:48,319
module slap a new one in test it ship it back and then refurb whatever needs

107
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:53,280
fixing on the module you removed you've already got the concept it works

108
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:58,400
it's not perfect and it might not be for everyone but for anyone who's looking

109
00:07:55,599 --> 00:08:01,360
for an all-in-one to save desk space and looking at the number of all-in-ones on

110
00:07:59,919 --> 00:08:07,199
the market there's clearly a lot of those people this makes so much sense it

111
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:12,800
gives consumers choice it gives consumers an upgrade path and it even

112
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:16,639
reduces eventual e-waste dell bring this to the consumer market

113
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:20,240
because if you don't you know someone else will especially now that we've made

114
00:08:18,479 --> 00:08:24,479
a video about it but you know what else i will do is pull off smooth segways to

115
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:28,080
sponsors like ren ren is a website where you can answer a few questions about

116
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:32,320
your lifestyle and then see what your carbon footprint is along with some tips

117
00:08:29,919 --> 00:08:36,320
for how to reduce it now no one can reduce their carbon footprint to zero so

118
00:08:34,479 --> 00:08:40,240
they also offer some ways that you can offset what you have left after your

119
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:43,360
reductions once you sign up to make a monthly contribution to offset your

120
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:47,040
carbon footprint you receive monthly updates from the tree planting
