WEBVTT 00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:05.680 have you ever gone to a computer website cranked every dial in the configurator 00:00:03.840 --> 00:00:10.880 until you've got the most over-the-top expensive machine possible and then 00:00:09.040 --> 00:00:14.799 imagine what it'd be like to actually have it well today we don't have to 00:00:13.360 --> 00:00:21.600 imagine oh she's a heavy boy 00:00:18.160 --> 00:00:23.359 coming in at just under 13 00:00:21.600 --> 00:00:30.560 000 oh this absolute mother of a machine has 00:00:27.039 --> 00:00:33.760 enough compute to make you go whoa 00:00:30.560 --> 00:00:35.680 enough GPU to make you go damn and 00:00:33.760 --> 00:00:42.920 enough RAM to make you go why would anybody need that much RAM in a laptop 00:00:37.920 --> 00:00:42.920 introducing the dell precision 7750 00:00:50.320 --> 00:00:57.360 at roughly double the thickness of the xps 15 and nearly three and a half 00:00:55.120 --> 00:01:04.320 kilograms well there's no way to sugarcoat it she's a chunker compared to 00:01:01.039 --> 00:01:06.880 the xps we do get way more ports 00:01:04.320 --> 00:01:12.240 including Ethernet a total of four display outputs and a smart card reader 00:01:09.920 --> 00:01:16.640 for verifying user credentials but to put it lightly this is not the kind of 00:01:15.200 --> 00:01:21.680 machine that you want to carry around in your backpack all day unless 00:01:18.720 --> 00:01:26.799 this is your backpack now dell has more reasonable machines in the precision 00:01:23.520 --> 00:01:30.320 lineup that are basically the xps 15 or 00:01:26.799 --> 00:01:33.119 17 but with a zeon and a quadro as for 00:01:30.320 --> 00:01:35.880 the 7750 here it's a completely different beast 00:01:34.560 --> 00:01:42.159 if the 240 watt power brick didn't tip you off 00:01:39.200 --> 00:01:46.479 we have got some serious processing on the inside 00:01:43.439 --> 00:01:49.479 for CPU our unit is equipped with a xeon 00:01:46.479 --> 00:01:49.479 w10885 00:01:50.079 --> 00:01:59.200 m an 8 core processor that can turbo up to 5.3 gigahertz but has difficulty 00:01:56.560 --> 00:02:05.280 actually sustaining speeds like that on mortal laptops hopefully with the 7750s 00:02:02.399 --> 00:02:09.840 large and heavy cooler we'll be seeing it get well at least close 00:02:07.680 --> 00:02:16.959 graphics are handled by NVIDIA quadro rtx 5000 which has the same tu-104 chip 00:02:13.599 --> 00:02:20.720 as the rtx 2080 gaming graphics card 00:02:16.959 --> 00:02:24.400 except with 128 more shaders enabled and 00:02:20.720 --> 00:02:26.879 a cool 16 gigs of video memory which 00:02:24.400 --> 00:02:32.879 means this is not only a beast workstation it could actually be faster 00:02:30.080 --> 00:02:37.840 in games than the fastest gaming laptop that we have in the studio so then how 00:02:36.480 --> 00:02:43.120 does it game i mean i guess we better play some games yeah 00:02:41.519 --> 00:02:48.879 yeah all right let's fire up shadow of the tomb raider one of our favorite benchmarks we're gonna run it on 00:02:46.480 --> 00:02:51.840 basically all maxed 4k except motion blur because motion blur 00:02:50.319 --> 00:02:56.879 is bad and if you use it you should feel bad well it's not a smooth 60 FPS we're 00:02:54.400 --> 00:03:01.519 actually running around 40 but i am screen recording at the moment and 00:02:58.879 --> 00:03:07.280 remember that this is running at 4k absolutely cranked absolutely maxed 00:03:05.200 --> 00:03:11.680 screen space contact shadows do not go to high even in the most extreme 00:03:09.760 --> 00:03:16.480 preset doesn't even hurt performance that much interesting 00:03:14.400 --> 00:03:20.959 whoa don't hit a rock sheet of rock as good 00:03:19.040 --> 00:03:26.400 an experienced as that was though when we tested it against the alienware area 00:03:23.280 --> 00:03:28.400 51m the fastest gaming laptop we have 00:03:26.400 --> 00:03:33.920 here well the area 51m did win which isn't really 00:03:31.680 --> 00:03:38.720 surprising given that it's got a desktop processor game optimized drivers and 00:03:36.560 --> 00:03:43.040 also happens to be water cooled now but i was still hoping for the precision to 00:03:40.480 --> 00:03:47.840 somehow eco to win and maybe it would have if dell had pulled the same stunt 00:03:45.040 --> 00:03:53.519 as ASUS with their studio book one the only laptop with a quadro rtx 00:03:50.959 --> 00:03:58.159 6000 inside it although they did have to pull off some pretty funky ventilation 00:03:56.080 --> 00:04:02.560 tricks in order to make that work all right so it's not quite the fastest 00:04:00.640 --> 00:04:06.720 but just because you're not the fastest doesn't mean you're terrible second 00:04:04.319 --> 00:04:10.239 fastest ain't half bad and having that kind of grunt makes a huge difference in 00:04:08.879 --> 00:04:15.599 applications that are able to take advantage of it so let's give it a go in 00:04:12.480 --> 00:04:16.959 mark bench a video encoding benchmark 00:04:15.599 --> 00:04:22.160 that was created by one of our video editors mark that's basically an 00:04:19.759 --> 00:04:27.759 identical timeline in both adobe premiere pro and apple final cut pro the 00:04:25.360 --> 00:04:32.800 goal here is twofold to show how much GPU can help with video encoding and to 00:04:30.800 --> 00:04:37.520 tease the apple fanboys about how badly their precious final cut gets destroyed 00:04:35.520 --> 00:04:41.040 well i hope while these are running i want to talk about some of the comments 00:04:38.960 --> 00:04:46.320 you guys left on our review of the dell xps 15. some of you said that we went 00:04:43.919 --> 00:04:51.440 pretty light on dell compared to apple for the mediocre thermals and power 00:04:48.639 --> 00:04:56.240 delivery in the xps 15 and there is a reason for this 00:04:52.800 --> 00:04:58.199 dell is not marketing the xps 15 as the 00:04:56.240 --> 00:05:01.120 be all and end-all for professionals 00:04:59.840 --> 00:05:06.080 i mean sure with a machine like this you can edit 00:05:03.280 --> 00:05:09.520 videos or work on cad models but if you're doing it professionally 00:05:07.680 --> 00:05:14.000 dell is going to advise you to go with their business focused and more 00:05:11.600 --> 00:05:18.639 expensive precision lineup so we're definitely going to hold it to a 00:05:16.400 --> 00:05:22.960 different standard which means hopefully you're keeping your thermals under 00:05:19.840 --> 00:05:24.639 control here buddy there it is boys 00:05:22.960 --> 00:05:29.440 and what are we at on the macbook so it is twice 00:05:26.000 --> 00:05:31.440 as fast as our kitted out macbook pro 00:05:29.440 --> 00:05:36.479 which i guess is sort of an indication you don't really need a computer like 00:05:33.600 --> 00:05:41.600 this to edit videos maybe a lower spec version with less RAM because the thing 00:05:39.360 --> 00:05:46.960 that makes this machine particularly special compared to other laptops 00:05:43.840 --> 00:05:50.479 is the crazy 128 00:05:46.960 --> 00:05:52.720 gigabytes of ddr4 memory so 00:05:50.479 --> 00:05:56.400 to answer our earlier question why would anybody need that much RAM in a laptop 00:05:55.120 --> 00:06:01.759 simon he's an engineering student who reached out to us the other day because his flow 00:06:00.240 --> 00:06:05.600 simulation gosh darn it just wouldn't run on his 00:06:03.600 --> 00:06:10.800 personal machine due to you guessed it a lack of system memory 00:06:09.120 --> 00:06:14.319 let's see how it does on this we'll let the mat keep chugging away yeah 00:06:13.280 --> 00:06:19.680 okay this is showing just how much you can get done on this computer 00:06:18.240 --> 00:06:24.319 well you know the peasants keep on exporting oh ouch so 00:06:22.000 --> 00:06:28.880 on simon's computer he without like the 00:06:26.639 --> 00:06:31.759 big honeycomb thing on the front it took him an hour 00:06:30.400 --> 00:06:36.240 and with the honeycomb thing it just crashed 00:06:34.319 --> 00:06:39.440 on this computer right here how long do you think it took 00:06:37.919 --> 00:06:43.039 with the honeycomb i don't know uh i'm going to say 00:06:41.919 --> 00:06:48.639 20 i don't even know what kind of computer he has like 20 minutes half a second half a second half a second what 00:06:47.280 --> 00:06:51.759 kind of machine is he running he machines like 00:06:50.400 --> 00:06:56.319 i don't know he does only have four gigs of RAM so that's definitely a problem 00:06:53.440 --> 00:07:00.560 ouch this used like over a hundred when creating the mesh can we like see 00:06:58.319 --> 00:07:05.199 anything yeah just a second i want to see the simulation i'm turning it on 00:07:02.240 --> 00:07:07.759 right now we're living in the simulation there 00:07:06.560 --> 00:07:12.319 that's what we did oh that's pretty cool you can cut it 00:07:10.160 --> 00:07:16.800 right here boom 00:07:14.400 --> 00:07:22.319 and so how long did it take to run the whole thing with the mesh 00:07:19.199 --> 00:07:24.319 uh with the mesh it took about 50 00:07:22.319 --> 00:07:28.880 minutes and how long did his machine take to run 00:07:26.479 --> 00:07:32.639 it with the mesh it didn't it it just couldn't even mesh 00:07:31.520 --> 00:07:38.960 it huh so this shows like meters per second like air velocity 00:07:36.560 --> 00:07:42.720 through uh through a thing what's the purpose of the honeycomb mesh there's 00:07:40.800 --> 00:07:45.840 probably a fan right here and when you have the fan it would create a whole 00:07:44.639 --> 00:07:49.840 bunch of turbulence like everything would be all 00:07:47.639 --> 00:07:54.479 flippity-floppity-ing so we go through this mesh so it's all kind of like 00:07:52.160 --> 00:08:00.400 going through the funny thing though is that while during our gaming testing our 00:07:57.440 --> 00:08:05.759 CPU got as high as 100 degrees and actually thermal throttled 00:08:03.440 --> 00:08:11.520 while running a simulation like this and using all 128 gigs of our memory it 00:08:09.280 --> 00:08:16.319 turned out that CPU thermals weren't a problem at all our CPU was able to 00:08:13.599 --> 00:08:21.440 maintain 4.3 gigahertz across all eight cores while running at about 75 degrees 00:08:18.800 --> 00:08:26.160 celsius and consuming a consistent 60 watts of power with spikes up to 100 00:08:23.840 --> 00:08:29.680 watts and it did it just fine in a laptop now 00:08:27.759 --> 00:08:34.640 we're still a little disappointed that a combined load that actually hits both 00:08:31.919 --> 00:08:38.880 CPU and GPU completely can overwhelm the cooling solution 00:08:36.159 --> 00:08:43.360 but at least in situations like this one it holds its own nicely 00:08:41.279 --> 00:08:46.160 as for the screen well 00:08:44.800 --> 00:08:50.880 it's fine it's 16x9 when the rest of the precision 00:08:48.480 --> 00:08:57.440 lineup has switched over to 16x10 there's no touch option even and it 00:08:53.920 --> 00:08:58.480 lacks the succulent visuals of the xps 00:08:57.440 --> 00:09:03.279 lineup but it isn't all bad i mean dell could 00:09:01.360 --> 00:09:07.120 have made the panel more vivid but the anti-reflective coating is awesome if 00:09:05.360 --> 00:09:11.680 you're working under fluorescent lights and the 4k 17 inch panel is big enough 00:09:10.160 --> 00:09:16.320 to make this really feel like a workstation replacement 00:09:13.680 --> 00:09:21.680 for inputs oh this is a bit of a contentious area the new dell precision 00:09:19.040 --> 00:09:27.200 lineup is the first that they've done to drop the pointing stick aka the nipple 00:09:24.720 --> 00:09:31.440 mouse and then increase the trackpad size and i'd wait sorry this is 00:09:28.800 --> 00:09:34.560 contentious in my opinion the only thing that should 00:09:32.959 --> 00:09:40.480 be contentious about this is that they didn't go far enough i mean 00:09:37.360 --> 00:09:42.560 this is a usable sized track pad 00:09:40.480 --> 00:09:46.560 but yeah you know i might actually be upset that they took away my nipple 00:09:44.399 --> 00:09:50.800 mouse and didn't give me the track pad off the xps 15. look at the size of this 00:09:49.200 --> 00:09:54.800 by comparison they should have just taken that it's 00:09:52.640 --> 00:10:00.640 contentious but not for the reasons that i think you probably meant in the script 00:09:57.519 --> 00:10:02.560 as for the keyboard it is unsurprisingly 00:10:00.640 --> 00:10:06.880 excellent it's not quite as snappy as the one on the xps 15 but it's the kind 00:10:05.040 --> 00:10:11.040 of keyboard that you could easily sit down at all day and write up reports on 00:10:09.519 --> 00:10:15.360 how the radiographic testing shows the 00:10:13.040 --> 00:10:19.440 contractors that they need to redo all the welding for free or 00:10:17.279 --> 00:10:23.120 whatever report someone who uses this needs to write up like like how they 00:10:21.440 --> 00:10:28.160 should be allowed to expense a new water bottle from ltteststore.com so they can 00:10:25.279 --> 00:10:32.560 stay hydrated at work or whatever oh hey the macbook finished 00:10:30.320 --> 00:10:35.600 it's good good for you budget 00:10:33.839 --> 00:10:41.279 kids budget real men rip laptops apart with their 00:10:38.079 --> 00:10:44.320 bare hands oh yeah 00:10:41.279 --> 00:10:47.200 well that explains why it's so heavy 00:10:44.320 --> 00:10:53.680 is this a single cnc piece bottom amanda they xps it oh damn they did they 00:10:50.399 --> 00:10:54.720 did look at that it's beautiful 00:10:53.680 --> 00:11:00.399 oh like sometimes they try to get it really smooth even on the inside just oh just 00:10:58.720 --> 00:11:06.079 leave the milling marks on i love it oh my god 00:11:02.480 --> 00:11:08.160 this thing has four m.2 slots 00:11:06.079 --> 00:11:12.000 that is so cool there's i think one one terabyte and two 00:11:10.160 --> 00:11:16.480 two terabytes this is a two terabyte unit 00:11:13.279 --> 00:11:20.399 this is a really weird m.2 like hold 00:11:16.480 --> 00:11:20.399 down mechanism oh i think i get it 00:11:20.640 --> 00:11:27.120 there um oh shoot 00:11:24.480 --> 00:11:33.040 oh shoot oh wow that magnet is so strong it grabs 00:11:30.880 --> 00:11:36.959 the screw from there oh did they cheap out on us you hold them 00:11:34.720 --> 00:11:40.720 out on us dell you hold them out there's an empty one 00:11:39.600 --> 00:11:45.600 send it back i'm done i'm out no forget it i'm out 00:11:43.839 --> 00:11:50.640 no i still want to play with it i'm back okay so the battery which is pretty 00:11:48.399 --> 00:11:55.760 close to the maximum allowed on a commercial flight 95 watt hours is 00:11:53.440 --> 00:11:59.279 expected to give you about eight hours of 00:11:57.760 --> 00:12:04.480 screen time but if you do any real work 00:12:02.079 --> 00:12:10.000 that's gonna quickly drop down to more like an hour now i've got a note in here 00:12:07.120 --> 00:12:12.560 to mention why vapor chambers kick butt we have a video coming up about that you 00:12:11.519 --> 00:12:17.040 want to make sure you're subscribed so you don't miss it but basically what 00:12:14.560 --> 00:12:21.839 makes the cooling possible on this puppy is these right here so it uses a 00:12:19.519 --> 00:12:26.959 combination of vapor chambers and these large heat exchangers back here to get 00:12:24.160 --> 00:12:32.399 rid of all that flipping heat from the GPU as well as the CPU what is this does 00:12:30.880 --> 00:12:36.720 this have a cellular card in it oh it does yeah oh nice 00:12:34.399 --> 00:12:42.320 wow it's got all the trimmings for the low low price of what 13 13 grand 00:12:39.600 --> 00:12:47.200 now there are people that require this kind of power but the thing is most of 00:12:44.480 --> 00:12:51.920 them will either use massive servers that are on site at their work or 00:12:49.600 --> 00:12:55.360 compute clusters to actually crunch the crazy numbers 00:12:53.279 --> 00:12:59.440 that doesn't mean though that this is completely without a use case the main 00:12:56.959 --> 00:13:04.880 one i can think of is offshore oil and gas for example so in a scenario like 00:13:02.160 --> 00:13:09.839 that the engineer might be flown in so carrying their server in their backpack 00:13:07.839 --> 00:13:13.440 is a pretty nice quality of life improvement and while they're on site 00:13:11.519 --> 00:13:18.079 they might be required to run complex flow simulations and of course an oil 00:13:16.160 --> 00:13:22.880 and gas firm well under normal conditions anyway won't blink an eye at 00:13:20.320 --> 00:13:27.440 a 13 000 laptop if it's going to help them pump 55 million dollars of oil a 00:13:25.279 --> 00:13:31.360 day out of the ground or the sea or wherever it is they get oil from another 00:13:29.600 --> 00:13:35.680 feasible use case is of course you know the usual suspects for desktop 00:13:32.880 --> 00:13:40.240 replacements or as we like to call them semi-mobile workstations so you know a 00:13:38.160 --> 00:13:45.519 work from home architectural engineer civil engineer researcher etc 00:13:43.920 --> 00:13:49.040 so if you're one of those and trying to figure out what to spend the rest of 00:13:47.279 --> 00:13:54.000 your 2020 budget on so that it doesn't get cut next year maybe consider this 00:13:51.600 --> 00:13:59.680 instead of the macbook pro because you know it's actually for pros well 00:13:56.959 --> 00:14:03.199 pros with like jacked arms anyway i'll give the macbook that it's a lot lighter 00:14:01.680 --> 00:14:07.440 if you guys enjoyed this video and you want to check out another crazy laptop 00:14:05.279 --> 00:14:11.440 maybe uh have a look at alex's ShortCircuit video on the uh yes that the 00:14:09.839 --> 00:14:17.839 studio book pro it's crazy it's got an rtx 6000 like 00:14:15.360 --> 00:14:17.839 what
