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

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

00:00:08.559 --> 00:00:15.280
just six hundred dollars which is a little over half of what apple charges

00:00:12.639 --> 00:00:18.560
for their monitor stand which doesn't have a computer in it what a

00:00:17.359 --> 00:00:24.320
value and it gets so much better i mean look

00:00:22.160 --> 00:00:29.119
at this thing it's a full-fledged computer in here and it really does pop

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

00:00:31.039 --> 00:00:37.200
drive and it gets even better

00:00:34.880 --> 00:00:41.120
with smart deploy it can manage every Windows endpoint in their environment

00:00:38.640 --> 00:00:45.520
from one centralized golden image grab your exclusive free software worth over

00:00:42.960 --> 00:00:48.000
eight hundred dollars at smartdeploy.com Linus

00:00:55.199 --> 00:01:00.879
the first time anyone outside of dell heard about the optiplex 7070 l trump

00:00:58.960 --> 00:01:05.760
was in a press release back in august 2019 and you guys might be thinking

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

00:01:07.200 --> 00:01:15.119
almost two years great question dell positioned this as a first of its kind

00:01:11.680 --> 00:01:17.920
concept hiding a complete pc inside a

00:01:15.119 --> 00:01:22.320
monitor stand for a clutter-free zero footprint desktop kind of like an

00:01:20.080 --> 00:01:26.880
all-in-one but with the ability to upgrade the display and the pc

00:01:24.159 --> 00:01:30.560
separately and also choose any mounting system that you want thanks to the

00:01:28.479 --> 00:01:33.920
included vasa adapter also inside the box are all the cables

00:01:32.640 --> 00:01:38.799
that you'll need to get up and running with any monitor that has a displayport

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

00:01:41.200 --> 00:01:47.600
though that runs off of usbc that's even more awesome because not only can you

00:01:45.759 --> 00:01:52.720
use a single cable for your display signal and your usb hub but the computer

00:01:50.560 --> 00:01:57.759
module can be powered straight off of the display as long as it supports usb

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

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

00:02:04.719 --> 00:02:12.080
nice bonus is that unlike the basic stand that lg provides dell's pro stand

00:02:09.599 --> 00:02:16.239
here pivots from side to side and can rotate in either direction

00:02:14.239 --> 00:02:20.959
dell really has had monitor ergonomics down for a long time and it shows here

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

00:02:22.879 --> 00:02:30.239
inch displays a fixed stand for 24 inch and under wall mounts and offset vase

00:02:28.080 --> 00:02:35.599
amounts for attaching to arms the setup process is super easy they list five

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

00:02:37.760 --> 00:02:43.599
should be noted that once you set it up it's nearly impossible to plug cables

00:02:42.000 --> 00:02:48.080
into the main ports without disassembling the whole thing though to

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

00:02:50.080 --> 00:02:52.640
without looking

00:02:53.760 --> 00:03:01.280
just push the latch pull up and then unclip the module

00:02:59.200 --> 00:03:06.720
and then do that in reverse to get it back together

00:03:04.159 --> 00:03:11.040
but all we've talked about so far is the stand itself

00:03:08.720 --> 00:03:13.360
what about the pc right

00:03:11.920 --> 00:03:19.120
the pc well it's old um

00:03:16.720 --> 00:03:22.879
the thing is this kind of got lost in the warehouse and we kind of completely

00:03:21.440 --> 00:03:26.400
forgot about it until we did a big inventory on it first the good news

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

00:03:28.560 --> 00:03:35.040
one screw and digging deeper oh so hard

00:03:32.400 --> 00:03:40.480
we find two easy access ddr4 sodium slots and a 30 millimeter NVMe capable

00:03:37.440 --> 00:03:42.080
m.2 there's actually a second m.2 slot

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

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

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

00:03:54.080 --> 00:03:58.959
that has guides on how to access and replace everything complete with part

00:03:58.000 --> 00:04:03.280
numbers man this is just something you don't see

00:04:01.439 --> 00:04:07.680
on consumer-grade machines these days like

00:04:04.640 --> 00:04:08.799
clearly we have the technology right

00:04:07.680 --> 00:04:13.519
this is one of the reasons that Anthony's old computer shop really liked

00:04:11.120 --> 00:04:17.840
selling off-lease optiplexes and vostros just

00:04:14.959 --> 00:04:21.359
so much easier to work with to a limit as for the CPU

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

00:04:22.880 --> 00:04:28.320
at an 8th gen Intel core i7 8665u which

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

00:04:31.199 --> 00:04:38.000
thankfully ours isn't configured for TDP down or the base clock would be just 800

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

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

00:04:47.120 --> 00:04:53.520
watt version score is about 26 higher than that so it's actually not as slow

00:04:52.160 --> 00:04:57.680
as you might think of course though performance isn't what

00:04:55.600 --> 00:05:02.080
we came here for because it's outdated so let's talk about

00:04:59.840 --> 00:05:06.479
thermals this is actually one scenario where Intel's definition of TDP really

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

00:05:09.280 --> 00:05:16.160
short duration turbo saturate the cooler and then dial it back we can actually

00:05:14.400 --> 00:05:21.440
see that in our package power readings where the short duration is 51 watts and

00:05:18.960 --> 00:05:26.479
the long duration is the stated 25 watt TDP which it comfortably handles

00:05:23.680 --> 00:05:29.880
indefinitely at around 85 degrees or so just like our insulated water bottle

00:05:28.000 --> 00:05:34.639
comfortably handles your hot beverages lttstore.com the fan has a reasonably

00:05:32.479 --> 00:05:39.039
smooth ramp up although sadly it has a bit of an annoying wine to it but

00:05:36.960 --> 00:05:43.280
thankfully the display actually blocks a fair bit of its high pitch so if you've

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

00:05:45.600 --> 00:05:50.960
does seem like they could have done a bit more with the cooling though if they

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

00:05:53.280 --> 00:06:00.319
is a business machine and businesses to really like their monitor arms and they

00:05:58.160 --> 00:06:04.479
like their upgrades so you can actually still buy the 8th gen version that we

00:06:02.080 --> 00:06:07.680
have here for a decent discount get subscribed by the way because we've got

00:06:05.680 --> 00:06:11.600
a video on some really interesting CPU deals we found coming up but dell also

00:06:09.919 --> 00:06:16.960
offers a modern upgrade that features 11th gen parts called the optiplex 7090

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

00:06:19.840 --> 00:06:26.960
higher base frequency of 3 gigahertz with xc graphics and a Thunderbolt 4

00:06:24.400 --> 00:06:31.199
connector meaning that conceivably you could have one of these all-in-ones with

00:06:28.720 --> 00:06:35.360
an external GPU curiously they've decided to add a full-size displayport

00:06:33.199 --> 00:06:40.160
connector but it doesn't take up any extra space thanks to stacking the usb

00:06:37.199 --> 00:06:44.240
type a's i guess including a type c to displayport cable cost more than just

00:06:42.160 --> 00:06:47.520
retooling the design and as far as pricing goes by the way it's not

00:06:46.080 --> 00:06:52.160
actually that much more expensive starting at 7.49 although for a similar

00:06:50.400 --> 00:06:54.560
trim to what we have here you are looking at spending over a thousand

00:06:53.440 --> 00:07:00.639
dollars leading to my final question for dell

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

00:07:02.639 --> 00:07:09.280
similar hardware and stowaway webcams but they only come with 1080p displays

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

00:07:11.440 --> 00:07:17.599
obsolete they effectively become paperweights you can't even repurpose

00:07:15.360 --> 00:07:22.479
the display without a major hack jog i mean logistically it can't be easy to

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

00:07:24.319 --> 00:07:29.840
efficient to have a modular approach like this which you have already

00:07:28.080 --> 00:07:34.479
engineered where you just bundle the display with the machine and snap the

00:07:31.680 --> 00:07:39.199
parts together for this really basically all-in-one experience i mean

00:07:37.280 --> 00:07:43.919
imagine how simple your warranty repairs would be pull the cover off remove the

00:07:41.280 --> 00:07:48.319
module slap a new one in test it ship it back and then refurb whatever needs

00:07:46.080 --> 00:07:53.280
fixing on the module you removed you've already got the concept it works

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

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

00:07:59.919 --> 00:08:07.199
the market there's clearly a lot of those people this makes so much sense it

00:08:05.360 --> 00:08:12.800
gives consumers choice it gives consumers an upgrade path and it even

00:08:09.840 --> 00:08:16.639
reduces eventual e-waste dell bring this to the consumer market

00:08:14.800 --> 00:08:20.240
because if you don't you know someone else will especially now that we've made

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

00:08:22.400 --> 00:08:28.080
sponsors like ren ren is a website where you can answer a few questions about

00:08:26.240 --> 00:08:32.320
your lifestyle and then see what your carbon footprint is along with some tips

00:08:29.919 --> 00:08:36.320
for how to reduce it now no one can reduce their carbon footprint to zero so

00:08:34.479 --> 00:08:40.240
they also offer some ways that you can offset what you have left after your

00:08:38.240 --> 00:08:43.360
reductions once you sign up to make a monthly contribution to offset your

00:08:41.760 --> 00:08:47.040
carbon footprint you receive monthly updates from the tree planting

00:08:44.800 --> 00:08:50.480
