1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:08,160
I really like my XPS 15 problem is it's a bit too big and heavy now they do have

2
00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:09,519
an XPS 13 which is also fantastic but

3
00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:14,360
it's a little bit too small my hands fall off the edge kind of sucks if only

4
00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:17,119
there was an XPS 14 well there sort of

5
00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:20,960
is it's under their Precision line so uh it's really expensive but this looks

6
00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:24,760
like it could be really good let's have a look

7
00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:30,759
here welcome to Dell let's do great things together all right I'll put you

8
00:00:29,279 --> 00:00:33,439
aside for a second got our power

9
00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:40,520
cord USB type c charger love to see it I

10
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:43,559
uh went on vacation a week ago and forgot my laptop charger but I could

11
00:00:42,239 --> 00:00:49,239
just charge it using my phone charger and everything was fine one right here

12
00:00:45,719 --> 00:00:52,120
is read it for 130 Watts not bad the

13
00:00:49,239 --> 00:00:56,920
typical Dell dongle uh I don't love that having a dongle is something that you

14
00:00:53,559 --> 00:00:59,600
need to do but at the same time HDMI USB

15
00:00:56,920 --> 00:01:03,359
type A gets easy to just Chuck in your bag I do actually use this a

16
00:01:03,439 --> 00:01:06,839
lot all

17
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:16,240
right tada this sure looks like an XPS but

18
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:24,680
like a kind of chunky one how's how's the thickness it's like maybe 2 mm

19
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:27,000
thicker oh maybe one for Io we have

20
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:34,040
Thunderbolt on each side two of them there as well as a mini SD slot

21
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:36,280
Kensington lock and excellent we also

22
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:40,640
have a headphone microphone combo Jack uh can't take that for granted from Dell

23
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:44,479
these days oh for this one though they did do away with the diamond cut finish

24
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:50,159
so you can see that it over here it has kind of that like I guess anodized maybe

25
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:53,159
sand blasted kind of look there whereas

26
00:01:50,159 --> 00:01:55,040
on dxps it's all nice and shiny also

27
00:01:53,159 --> 00:02:00,000
this unfortunately does not have dbrand skins but also dbrand won't sell you a

28
00:01:57,240 --> 00:02:06,360
scorpion so uh why would you use anything else

29
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:10,440
anyway 3.6 lb not too bad compared to

30
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:13,840
the XPS 15 which is

31
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:15,640
4.3 nice little savings aside from that

32
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:20,560
it is laptop here we

33
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:29,360
go now interestingly on the touchpad we have um

34
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:31,080
something uh I do sort of wish that they

35
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:37,879
are a bit more clear about what it could do instead I'm just going to take it off

36
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:39,680
and probably never get use of oh it's an

37
00:02:37,879 --> 00:02:43,080
NFC Reader I wonder if you're able to use that for like smart cards or

38
00:02:41,519 --> 00:02:49,360
authentication stuff this is a professional laptop being from the Precision line so I wouldn't be

39
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:53,480
surprised if there's some sort of like card that you can just tap right there

40
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:59,040
to lock and unlock it more securely than like your fingerprint wow this is a nice

41
00:02:57,080 --> 00:03:03,280
display do you have specs for this thing is it is it ol it looks like it's OLED

42
00:03:01,599 --> 00:03:08,920
the display although I thought for a second it was OLED cuz it looked

43
00:03:04,920 --> 00:03:12,000
fantastic is actually W LED and it's 16x

44
00:03:08,920 --> 00:03:14,080
10 2560 x600 that's a really nice

45
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:18,519
resolution for a laptop of this size one of my biggest complaints about the XPS

46
00:03:15,879 --> 00:03:26,040
13 plus was that your screen options were 1080p which is not quite enough

47
00:03:22,239 --> 00:03:28,879
pixel density or 4K which is more pixel

48
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:33,680
density than you need and just destroys your battery life

49
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:36,239
this is a very nice in between this must

50
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:41,840
be brutally expensive I remember even like pretty expensive business laptops

51
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:47,879
had just trash displays even a couple years ago this is far from that this is

52
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:55,040
an incredible display as for performance I think we have quite a bit yep all

53
00:03:50,319 --> 00:03:58,560
right I9 12 900h 14 cores 20 threads we

54
00:03:55,040 --> 00:04:01,120
also have 32 gigb of RAM at 5200 megga

55
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:06,720
transfers per second that makes me suspect that you're not able to swap it

56
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:10,920
but also it is of a higher speed than what you can have in the slottable

57
00:04:09,079 --> 00:04:16,120
modules D's actually working on a thing so you can have faster RAM in your

58
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:20,440
laptops it's like a weird socketed thing I forget what they call it but hopefully

59
00:04:18,280 --> 00:04:24,520
that comes to actual consumer devices pretty soon cuz I really want to try it

60
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:30,160
out we also have 1 terab of RAM an NVIDIA RTX a1000 so that's a Quadro but

61
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:34,400
they stopped calling it a Quadro even though Quadro has really good brand

62
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:41,400
recognition and everybody just calls the new a1000 or whatever quadros this does

63
00:04:38,039 --> 00:04:43,639
only have 4 GB of dedicated GPU memory

64
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:47,160
which is kind of too bad I'm guessing this thing is very slow let's find out

65
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:54,479
what it is oh my God Microsoft go away I do not

66
00:04:51,840 --> 00:04:59,320
want you to get all of my data all right just looked it up so the

67
00:04:55,960 --> 00:05:03,800
a1000 is the same die the ga 107 as the

68
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:06,240
r TX 3050 it is a little bit slower

69
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:12,199
though it has okay it has the same number of Cuda cores as the RTX 3050 on

70
00:05:09,199 --> 00:05:14,759
the desktop effectively it's a 3050 but

71
00:05:12,199 --> 00:05:18,280
slightly slower and way more expensive it is very nice if you are a

72
00:05:16,639 --> 00:05:24,160
professional because you can do very cool things like uh run solid works and

73
00:05:21,479 --> 00:05:28,479
the drivers work properly solid Brooks could probably make the drivers for

74
00:05:25,199 --> 00:05:29,720
propably on GeForce but uh they don't

75
00:05:28,479 --> 00:05:33,560
all right well we get some things download it let's have a look at this

76
00:05:37,039 --> 00:05:42,400
keyboard okay the keyboard is fantastic

77
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:47,600
I was having a little bit of trouble cuz I was kind of getting like uncanny

78
00:05:44,280 --> 00:05:51,000
valued for a second it is very very

79
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:53,280
close to the XPS 15 that I use every

80
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:58,520
single day and know the keys like perfectly although oh wait

81
00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:06,520
H that that's why I didn't quite like it compared

82
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:11,520
to this right here you can see a little

83
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:14,039
bit but it's way way less now this right

84
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:19,240
here is the sort of thing that is very acceptable that is excellent

85
00:06:17,039 --> 00:06:24,400
keyboard flex but when you have the same switches on two chassis and one of them

86
00:06:22,599 --> 00:06:28,000
you use literally every single day you're going to notice those little tiny

87
00:06:25,840 --> 00:06:33,000
things let's get this back why is there so much dirt over here

88
00:06:30,919 --> 00:06:38,039
now below the keyboard we also have a trackpad it's great it's I wish it was a

89
00:06:36,039 --> 00:06:43,160
little bit larger it feels like they took the same unit off of the old XPS 13

90
00:06:41,039 --> 00:06:47,199
and just chucked it in here we like all right we're good which isn't all that

91
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:50,400
bad it's a fantastic little trackpad I just wish it was a tiny bit bigger oh it

92
00:06:49,319 --> 00:06:54,520
has fingerprint in the power button oh yeah it does does it have facial

93
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:58,840
recognition though okay I can't seem to set up

94
00:06:56,560 --> 00:07:02,960
facial recognition but Belle tells me it has it so if it doesn't he's the one

95
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:08,520
that's wrong and you know what's also wrong segueing into a sponsor like this

96
00:07:06,599 --> 00:07:11,840

108
00:07:54,360 --> 00:08:00,680
that I should probably be installing like solid works and showing you that

109
00:07:58,759 --> 00:08:06,080
that works well but it's going to be fine it's a 3050 except with certified

110
00:08:04,199 --> 00:08:13,520
drivers it's going to work great and now it's installed thank you Intel Wi-Fi 6E

111
00:08:09,759 --> 00:08:16,520
the ax 211 is legitimately the best

112
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:20,199
Wi-Fi chip that exists

113
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:22,599
oh one thing that I just noticed um the

114
00:08:20,199 --> 00:08:27,240
pixel response times on this display are not great I don't know if you can see

115
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:32,519
the trails here yeah this is so much faster I don't

116
00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:37,320
know if you can tell there but like my movements on this display just feel

117
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:40,000
night and day different latency wise compared to this

118
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:48,519
one it feels like I'm playing this drunk

119
00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:50,560
turns at 30 FPS and super high input

120
00:08:48,519 --> 00:08:56,120
latency is not the best gaming experience oh you can have all right

121
00:08:53,240 --> 00:09:02,640
let's turn the resolution down a bit all right how's 1080p this is playable right

122
00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:04,519
here for 40 45 FPS I can deal with this

123
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:09,600
and look here the graphics are good I can turn those down a bit actually oh 69

124
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:14,839
FPS wow okay this actually this is running great you could totally play

125
00:09:11,399 --> 00:09:17,760
games on this laptop if you wanted to so

126
00:09:14,839 --> 00:09:23,640
uh if you're trying to you know get a nice fairly thin and light laptop and

127
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:28,600
your work is paying for it you want to play games on the side this is quite a

128
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:35,120
good option you're not going to be like competitively playing stuff but I could

129
00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:36,880
100% oh like I just hit that deer it you

130
00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:42,279
could totally play valheim this would be totally fine this is a fantastic looking

131
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:48,760
display though we we'll just pop up some crab Rave here it seems like it does not

132
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:51,120
have the waves audio control panel on

133
00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:54,810
this like it does on the XPS which is great cuz it just breaks all the time

134
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:57,160
and makes your stuff sound

135
00:09:57,160 --> 00:10:01,600
terrible okay solid start solid let's

136
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:06,240
start might be a bit

137
00:10:06,399 --> 00:10:14,560
Tenny not bad not bad all

138
00:10:14,560 --> 00:10:20,229
right oh that sound's way worse

139
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:28,160
now it's not bad though like it's not as

140
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:31,560
good as the XPS 15 but also like look at it they have this much much space for

141
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:34,560
the speakers here that much there like it's half as much speaker space of

142
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:40,360
course it's going to be better like not bad though especially for like professional devices that's another

143
00:10:37,839 --> 00:10:46,360
thing for whatever reason professional devices just had tier speakers for so

144
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:49,480
long it's like yeah professionals listen

145
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:51,920
to music too like you don't only have to

146
00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:55,720
use Excel oh speaking of which though this is a professional device it has

147
00:10:53,320 --> 00:11:00,040
Intel V Pro do you know what that does I don't really it there's some security

148
00:10:57,680 --> 00:11:03,880
features that it adds it's way more expensive I think the biggest thing that

149
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:10,240
it does is it allows for it to be more easily set up by like Network and system

150
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:17,200
admins realistically you are never going to care about the Intel V Pro but your

151
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:19,200
network manager will he will thank you

152
00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:23,160
all right let's see about the webcam that's more cropped than I thought I

153
00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:28,519
feel like most webcams are further out than that one sec maybe I'm just being

154
00:11:25,279 --> 00:11:32,079
dumb oh my God as you might have noticed

155
00:11:28,519 --> 00:11:34,320
there my XPS 15 had to wake up from

156
00:11:32,079 --> 00:11:38,920
hibernation after I closed it because every single time that I close the lid

157
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:44,000
it has to hibernate the reason for that is Windows modern standby basically it

158
00:11:41,560 --> 00:11:49,040
means that if you just have your normal sleep settings on occasion because your

159
00:11:46,839 --> 00:11:52,560
computer tries to like it still runs the CPU it still connects to the Internet so

160
00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:56,600
you can like receive your messages and stuff I don't want that on my laptop I

161
00:11:54,519 --> 00:12:00,839
want to just simply go to sleep and not kill the battery when I leave it in my

162
00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:06,279
backpack okay I was correct though the this is way more cropped in

163
00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:10,600
than most webcams I'm I'm like way closer and I also just look way better

164
00:12:08,519 --> 00:12:14,680
it seems like the Precision 5470 has a great webcam this looks really good

165
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:19,279
honestly is it 1080p I kind of assumed that it would just have the exact same

166
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:21,279
sensor as is on the XPS 15 it looks like

167
00:12:19,279 --> 00:12:27,240
it but whatever they've done it's way better like just the colors of my face I

168
00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:30,079
look like I don't know someone that is a

169
00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:32,680
person as opposed to like the half dead on the

170
00:12:30,959 --> 00:12:37,160
XPS like just just stuff like I don't know

171
00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:41,639
that like my skin kind of looks like skin instead of being like sort of blown

172
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:45,279
out and then sort of dark and kind of looking

173
00:12:42,680 --> 00:12:50,279
like yeah this this is just way better it's uh 720p it's 720p okay the only

174
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:55,320
thing I can think of that would make it this much better is for one software but

175
00:12:53,160 --> 00:13:02,519
also they must just have a totally different lens system on it but like how

176
00:12:59,399 --> 00:13:04,880
it's the same size Dell what are you

177
00:13:02,519 --> 00:13:09,480
doing how is this one so much better than the one on the XPS 15 I actually do

178
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:13,399
not know I'm kind of flabbergast at how much better this is good job Dell I

179
00:13:12,199 --> 00:13:19,320
wonder if the microphone's better as well it's really good honestly is it 1080p okay so very usable I kind of

180
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:24,000
assumed that it would just have the exact same sensor at sounds like the

181
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:28,800
same microphone but it does a perfectly fine job did we mention that this

182
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:33,279
screen's touchcreen it's touchcreen I I do really like this display I know that

183
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:38,720
I talked about the latency for a bit but like if you're not gaming it's really

184
00:13:36,680 --> 00:13:42,760
good it's fine to look at oh we could run a cine bench I really like how Dell

185
00:13:40,519 --> 00:13:49,560
Optimizer goes over top of everything else and takes forever to launch that's

186
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:52,160
my biggest problem so Dell has some

187
00:13:49,560 --> 00:13:57,720
really great software on the xps15 for like your color profiles your battery

188
00:13:54,959 --> 00:14:02,480
profiles fan profiles all that stuff it takes forever to so I just don't use it

189
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:08,720
it's still opening the problem is I can't hit okay

190
00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:11,560
to like save cab bench Dell Optimizer

191
00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:16,800
DOI is not responding got to get the ShortCircuit speed tape all right let's

192
00:14:13,759 --> 00:14:18,480
see how we do all those 20 threads I'm

193
00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:20,120
going to guess what

194
00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:30,120
12,900 if it breaks 1,300 we're happy

195
00:14:26,079 --> 00:14:33,560
12,682 that's mildly disappointing

196
00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:35,839
but not bad service host diagnostic

197
00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:41,240
policy is running I feel like that Windows update might be screwing with us

198
00:14:38,519 --> 00:14:44,880
a bit one moment while Windows installs updates I'm going to have a nice sip of

199
00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:48,720
my coffee you can't get that mug on our store but you can't get this water

200
00:14:46,199 --> 00:14:52,240
bottle LTT Store.com it comes in red this one's like Canada all right this is

201
00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:57,160
taking forever I'm just turning it off I'm done uh you can probably get a

202
00:14:53,839 --> 00:14:59,800
higher c a bench score if Windows isn't

203
00:14:57,160 --> 00:15:04,959
updating it must sucks so much to be a company like Dell where they do so much

204
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:09,360
absolutely incredible engineering but they're 100% tied to how

205
00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:14,040
good Microsoft is oh one thing that I didn't notice

206
00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:19,759
before and this is definitely why it's slightly thicker than the XPS 15 look at

207
00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:23,040
the size of this foot it's got like a full quarter pipe

208
00:15:23,839 --> 00:15:30,800
there it's massive I would be so stoked if we can

209
00:15:28,199 --> 00:15:34,519
upgrade the RAM but I can almost guarantee with those speeds you cannot

210
00:15:33,279 --> 00:15:37,920
oh wait I didn't notice this before but there's a smart card reader right here

211
00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:44,199
that's the sort of thing where for a consumer device you would absolutely never need it but if you work in super

212
00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:49,240
high security situations like the government or I I don't know whatever

213
00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:53,399
that's the sort of thing that is completely crucial looks like the whole

214
00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:58,360
thing's aluminum all right so for our battery we have a 72 wat hour jobby I

215
00:15:56,759 --> 00:16:03,800
imagine that depending on what you're doing your battery life is going to vary

216
00:16:01,079 --> 00:16:08,440
greatly so if you have the display pumping out all 500 nits and you have

217
00:16:06,399 --> 00:16:12,600
all 20 threads of your processor I don't know doing something

218
00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:19,680
you're going to go through that pretty fast if you treat it nice 8ish 9 10

219
00:16:16,639 --> 00:16:21,680
hours of battery life somewhere in there

220
00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:26,720
probably we also have two nice little heat pipes that go up here the fin

221
00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:31,639
density on these fans is crazy we'll just go up here and

222
00:16:29,639 --> 00:16:37,240
see how many fins there are in there they're also pretty thick boy fins

223
00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:43,600
so Cooling in this given the size I imagine is quite good couple more things

224
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:47,839
to note in here the SSD is replaceable

225
00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:50,000
although the Wi-Fi card strangely is not

226
00:16:47,839 --> 00:16:55,319
overall though I really like this little machine it's the XPS 14 that I have

227
00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:58,680
always wanted it has essentially the same power as the 15 little bit slower

228
00:16:57,120 --> 00:17:03,440
doesn't have the same kind of cooling but you know it's a little bit smaller

229
00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:06,039
as well I will very happily give up the

230
00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:09,400
500 C bench points for half a kilogram off the weight there is one thing though

231
00:17:07,919 --> 00:17:14,959
this is a professional device and professional devices come with big money

232
00:17:12,439 --> 00:17:19,799
how much is it $3,358

233
00:17:17,360 --> 00:17:23,839
$3,358 okay that's uh that's about what I was expecting honestly uh that's a

234
00:17:21,959 --> 00:17:29,880
pretty terrible value if you are a person that is looking for a laptop that

235
00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:34,880
has these specs you can get like the nv5

236
00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:36,320
or the Lenovo 7i Pro for half as much

237
00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:40,240
and it will give you essentially the same thing those also don't come with

238
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:46,480
like vpro and Dell's professional warranty crap that's

239
00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:48,360
really good so yeah if you're in a

240
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:51,919
situation where you are buying a laptop I don't think I can recommend this but

241
00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:55,679
if your boss is buying a laptop and you want something that you can sort a game

242
00:17:53,360 --> 00:18:00,280
on and generally have a great time this is a good buy and this is also a good

243
00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:04,360
buy and until the next time I do one of these which is probably pretty soon cuz

244
00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:08,919
we have a massive queue of laptops uh hit like get subscribed and just have a

245
00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:08,919
fantastic day
