WEBVTT 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 00:00:05.120 --> 00:00:09.519 an XPS 13 which is also fantastic but 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 00:00:11.280 --> 00:00:17.119 there was an XPS 14 well there sort of 00:00:14.360 --> 00:00:20.960 is it's under their Precision line so uh it's really expensive but this looks 00:00:19.560 --> 00:00:24.760 like it could be really good let's have a look 00:00:24.880 --> 00:00:30.759 here welcome to Dell let's do great things together all right I'll put you 00:00:29.279 --> 00:00:33.439 aside for a second got our power 00:00:33.760 --> 00:00:40.520 cord USB type c charger love to see it I 00:00:38.640 --> 00:00:43.559 uh went on vacation a week ago and forgot my laptop charger but I could 00:00:42.239 --> 00:00:49.239 just charge it using my phone charger and everything was fine one right here 00:00:45.719 --> 00:00:52.120 is read it for 130 Watts not bad the 00:00:49.239 --> 00:00:56.920 typical Dell dongle uh I don't love that having a dongle is something that you 00:00:53.559 --> 00:00:59.600 need to do but at the same time HDMI USB 00:00:56.920 --> 00:01:03.359 type A gets easy to just Chuck in your bag I do actually use this a 00:01:03.439 --> 00:01:06.839 lot all 00:01:09.000 --> 00:01:16.240 right tada this sure looks like an XPS but 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 00:01:21.200 --> 00:01:27.000 thicker oh maybe one for Io we have 00:01:24.680 --> 00:01:34.040 Thunderbolt on each side two of them there as well as a mini SD slot 00:01:30.200 --> 00:01:36.280 Kensington lock and excellent we also 00:01:34.040 --> 00:01:40.640 have a headphone microphone combo Jack uh can't take that for granted from Dell 00:01:38.640 --> 00:01:44.479 these days oh for this one though they did do away with the diamond cut finish 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 00:01:46.840 --> 00:01:53.159 sand blasted kind of look there whereas 00:01:50.159 --> 00:01:55.040 on dxps it's all nice and shiny also 00:01:53.159 --> 00:02:00.000 this unfortunately does not have dbrand skins but also dbrand won't sell you a 00:01:57.240 --> 00:02:06.360 scorpion so uh why would you use anything else 00:02:01.640 --> 00:02:10.440 anyway 3.6 lb not too bad compared to 00:02:06.360 --> 00:02:13.840 the XPS 15 which is 00:02:10.440 --> 00:02:15.640 4.3 nice little savings aside from that 00:02:13.840 --> 00:02:20.560 it is laptop here we 00:02:20.560 --> 00:02:29.360 go now interestingly on the touchpad we have um 00:02:26.120 --> 00:02:31.080 something uh I do sort of wish that they 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 00:02:33.480 --> 00:02:39.680 and probably never get use of oh it's an 00:02:37.879 --> 00:02:43.080 NFC Reader I wonder if you're able to use that for like smart cards or 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 00:02:46.400 --> 00:02:53.480 surprised if there's some sort of like card that you can just tap right there 00:02:51.120 --> 00:02:59.040 to lock and unlock it more securely than like your fingerprint wow this is a nice 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 00:03:01.599 --> 00:03:08.920 the display although I thought for a second it was OLED cuz it looked 00:03:04.920 --> 00:03:12.000 fantastic is actually W LED and it's 16x 00:03:08.920 --> 00:03:14.080 10 2560 x600 that's a really nice 00:03:12.000 --> 00:03:18.519 resolution for a laptop of this size one of my biggest complaints about the XPS 00:03:15.879 --> 00:03:26.040 13 plus was that your screen options were 1080p which is not quite enough 00:03:22.239 --> 00:03:28.879 pixel density or 4K which is more pixel 00:03:26.040 --> 00:03:33.680 density than you need and just destroys your battery life 00:03:30.480 --> 00:03:36.239 this is a very nice in between this must 00:03:33.680 --> 00:03:41.840 be brutally expensive I remember even like pretty expensive business laptops 00:03:38.920 --> 00:03:47.879 had just trash displays even a couple years ago this is far from that this is 00:03:45.040 --> 00:03:55.040 an incredible display as for performance I think we have quite a bit yep all 00:03:50.319 --> 00:03:58.560 right I9 12 900h 14 cores 20 threads we 00:03:55.040 --> 00:04:01.120 also have 32 gigb of RAM at 5200 megga 00:03:58.560 --> 00:04:06.720 transfers per second that makes me suspect that you're not able to swap it 00:04:04.560 --> 00:04:10.920 but also it is of a higher speed than what you can have in the slottable 00:04:09.079 --> 00:04:16.120 modules D's actually working on a thing so you can have faster RAM in your 00:04:13.200 --> 00:04:20.440 laptops it's like a weird socketed thing I forget what they call it but hopefully 00:04:18.280 --> 00:04:24.520 that comes to actual consumer devices pretty soon cuz I really want to try it 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 00:04:28.000 --> 00:04:34.400 they stopped calling it a Quadro even though Quadro has really good brand 00:04:32.400 --> 00:04:41.400 recognition and everybody just calls the new a1000 or whatever quadros this does 00:04:38.039 --> 00:04:43.639 only have 4 GB of dedicated GPU memory 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 00:04:46.080 --> 00:04:54.479 what it is oh my God Microsoft go away I do not 00:04:51.840 --> 00:04:59.320 want you to get all of my data all right just looked it up so the 00:04:55.960 --> 00:05:03.800 a1000 is the same die the ga 107 as the 00:04:59.320 --> 00:05:06.240 r TX 3050 it is a little bit slower 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 00:05:09.199 --> 00:05:14.759 the desktop effectively it's a 3050 but 00:05:12.199 --> 00:05:18.280 slightly slower and way more expensive it is very nice if you are a 00:05:16.639 --> 00:05:24.160 professional because you can do very cool things like uh run solid works and 00:05:21.479 --> 00:05:28.479 the drivers work properly solid Brooks could probably make the drivers for 00:05:25.199 --> 00:05:29.720 propably on GeForce but uh they don't 00:05:28.479 --> 00:05:33.560 all right well we get some things download it let's have a look at this 00:05:37.039 --> 00:05:42.400 keyboard okay the keyboard is fantastic 00:05:40.560 --> 00:05:47.600 I was having a little bit of trouble cuz I was kind of getting like uncanny 00:05:44.280 --> 00:05:51.000 valued for a second it is very very 00:05:47.600 --> 00:05:53.280 close to the XPS 15 that I use every 00:05:51.000 --> 00:05:58.520 single day and know the keys like perfectly although oh wait 00:05:58.520 --> 00:06:06.520 H that that's why I didn't quite like it compared 00:06:02.600 --> 00:06:11.520 to this right here you can see a little 00:06:06.520 --> 00:06:14.039 bit but it's way way less now this right 00:06:11.520 --> 00:06:19.240 here is the sort of thing that is very acceptable that is excellent 00:06:17.039 --> 00:06:24.400 keyboard flex but when you have the same switches on two chassis and one of them 00:06:22.599 --> 00:06:28.000 you use literally every single day you're going to notice those little tiny 00:06:25.840 --> 00:06:33.000 things let's get this back why is there so much dirt over here 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 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 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 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 00:06:49.319 --> 00:06:54.520 has fingerprint in the power button oh yeah it does does it have facial 00:06:53.000 --> 00:06:58.840 recognition though okay I can't seem to set up 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 00:07:01.000 --> 00:07:08.520 that's wrong and you know what's also wrong segueing into a sponsor like this 00:07:06.599 --> 00:07:11.840 grammarly thanks to gramarly for sponsoring this video communicating 00:07:10.080 -->

that I should probably be installing like solid works and showing you that 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 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 00:08:09.759 --> 00:08:16.520 the ax 211 is legitimately the best 00:08:13.520 --> 00:08:20.199 Wi-Fi chip that exists 00:08:16.520 --> 00:08:22.599 oh one thing that I just noticed um the 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 00:08:24.680 --> 00:08:32.519 the trails here yeah this is so much faster I don't 00:08:30.280 --> 00:08:37.320 know if you can tell there but like my movements on this display just feel 00:08:35.000 --> 00:08:40.000 night and day different latency wise compared to this 00:08:42.120 --> 00:08:48.519 one it feels like I'm playing this drunk 00:08:45.480 --> 00:08:50.560 turns at 30 FPS and super high input 00:08:48.519 --> 00:08:56.120 latency is not the best gaming experience oh you can have all right 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 00:08:58.920 --> 00:09:04.519 here for 40 45 FPS I can deal with this 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 00:09:07.120 --> 00:09:14.839 FPS wow okay this actually this is running great you could totally play 00:09:11.399 --> 00:09:17.760 games on this laptop if you wanted to so 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 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 00:09:26.440 --> 00:09:35.120 good option you're not going to be like competitively playing stuff but I could 00:09:31.720 --> 00:09:36.880 100% oh like I just hit that deer it you 00:09:35.120 --> 00:09:42.279 could totally play valheim this would be totally fine this is a fantastic looking 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 00:09:45.200 --> 00:09:51.120 have the waves audio control panel on 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 00:09:52.920 --> 00:09:57.160 and makes your stuff sound 00:09:57.160 --> 00:10:01.600 terrible okay solid start solid let's 00:10:02.640 --> 00:10:06.240 start might be a bit 00:10:06.399 --> 00:10:14.560 Tenny not bad not bad all 00:10:14.560 --> 00:10:20.229 right oh that sound's way worse 00:10:22.440 --> 00:10:28.160 now it's not bad though like it's not as 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 00:10:29.800 --> 00:10:34.560 the speakers here that much there like it's half as much speaker space of 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 00:10:37.839 --> 00:10:46.360 thing for whatever reason professional devices just had tier speakers for so 00:10:43.160 --> 00:10:49.480 long it's like yeah professionals listen 00:10:46.360 --> 00:10:51.920 to music too like you don't only have to 00:10:49.480 --> 00:10:55.720 use Excel oh speaking of which though this is a professional device it has 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 00:10:57.680 --> 00:11:03.880 features that it adds it's way more expensive I think the biggest thing that 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 00:11:07.600 --> 00:11:17.200 admins realistically you are never going to care about the Intel V Pro but your 00:11:14.040 --> 00:11:19.200 network manager will he will thank you 00:11:17.200 --> 00:11:23.160 all right let's see about the webcam that's more cropped than I thought I 00:11:20.920 --> 00:11:28.519 feel like most webcams are further out than that one sec maybe I'm just being 00:11:25.279 --> 00:11:32.079 dumb oh my God as you might have noticed 00:11:28.519 --> 00:11:34.320 there my XPS 15 had to wake up from 00:11:32.079 --> 00:11:38.920 hibernation after I closed it because every single time that I close the lid 00:11:36.360 --> 00:11:44.000 it has to hibernate the reason for that is Windows modern standby basically it 00:11:41.560 --> 00:11:49.040 means that if you just have your normal sleep settings on occasion because your 00:11:46.839 --> 00:11:52.560 computer tries to like it still runs the CPU it still connects to the Internet so 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 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 00:11:58.360 --> 00:12:06.279 backpack okay I was correct though the this is way more cropped in 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 00:12:08.519 --> 00:12:14.680 it seems like the Precision 5470 has a great webcam this looks really good 00:12:12.040 --> 00:12:19.279 honestly is it 1080p I kind of assumed that it would just have the exact same 00:12:16.000 --> 00:12:21.279 sensor as is on the XPS 15 it looks like 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 00:12:23.880 --> 00:12:30.079 look like I don't know someone that is a 00:12:27.240 --> 00:12:32.680 person as opposed to like the half dead on the 00:12:30.959 --> 00:12:37.160 XPS like just just stuff like I don't know 00:12:35.160 --> 00:12:41.639 that like my skin kind of looks like skin instead of being like sort of blown 00:12:39.120 --> 00:12:45.279 out and then sort of dark and kind of looking 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 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 00:12:53.160 --> 00:13:02.519 also they must just have a totally different lens system on it but like how 00:12:59.399 --> 00:13:04.880 it's the same size Dell what are you 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 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 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 00:13:18.240 --> 00:13:24.000 assumed that it would just have the exact same sensor at sounds like the 00:13:21.440 --> 00:13:28.800 same microphone but it does a perfectly fine job did we mention that this 00:13:26.320 --> 00:13:33.279 screen's touchcreen it's touchcreen I I do really like this display I know that 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 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 00:13:40.519 --> 00:13:49.560 Optimizer goes over top of everything else and takes forever to launch that's 00:13:46.480 --> 00:13:52.160 my biggest problem so Dell has some 00:13:49.560 --> 00:13:57.720 really great software on the xps15 for like your color profiles your battery 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 00:14:00.800 --> 00:14:08.720 it's still opening the problem is I can't hit okay 00:14:05.160 --> 00:14:11.560 to like save cab bench Dell Optimizer 00:14:08.720 --> 00:14:16.800 DOI is not responding got to get the ShortCircuit speed tape all right let's 00:14:13.759 --> 00:14:18.480 see how we do all those 20 threads I'm 00:14:16.800 --> 00:14:20.120 going to guess what 00:14:20.120 --> 00:14:30.120 12,900 if it breaks 1,300 we're happy 00:14:26.079 --> 00:14:33.560 12,682 that's mildly disappointing 00:14:30.120 --> 00:14:35.839 but not bad service host diagnostic 00:14:33.560 --> 00:14:41.240 policy is running I feel like that Windows update might be screwing with us 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 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 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 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 00:14:53.839 --> 00:14:59.800 higher c a bench score if Windows isn't 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 00:15:03.360 --> 00:15:09.360 absolutely incredible engineering but they're 100% tied to how 00:15:07.920 --> 00:15:14.040 good Microsoft is oh one thing that I didn't notice 00:15:11.880 --> 00:15:19.759 before and this is definitely why it's slightly thicker than the XPS 15 look at 00:15:17.160 --> 00:15:23.040 the size of this foot it's got like a full quarter pipe 00:15:23.839 --> 00:15:30.800 there it's massive I would be so stoked if we can 00:15:28.199 --> 00:15:34.519 upgrade the RAM but I can almost guarantee with those speeds you cannot 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 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 00:15:42.360 --> 00:15:49.240 high security situations like the government or I I don't know whatever 00:15:47.880 --> 00:15:53.399 that's the sort of thing that is completely crucial looks like the whole 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 00:15:56.759 --> 00:16:03.800 imagine that depending on what you're doing your battery life is going to vary 00:16:01.079 --> 00:16:08.440 greatly so if you have the display pumping out all 500 nits and you have 00:16:06.399 --> 00:16:12.600 all 20 threads of your processor I don't know doing something 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 00:16:16.639 --> 00:16:21.680 hours of battery life somewhere in there 00:16:19.680 --> 00:16:26.720 probably we also have two nice little heat pipes that go up here the fin 00:16:23.880 --> 00:16:31.639 density on these fans is crazy we'll just go up here and 00:16:29.639 --> 00:16:37.240 see how many fins there are in there they're also pretty thick boy fins 00:16:34.360 --> 00:16:43.600 so Cooling in this given the size I imagine is quite good couple more things 00:16:39.560 --> 00:16:47.839 to note in here the SSD is replaceable 00:16:43.600 --> 00:16:50.000 although the Wi-Fi card strangely is not 00:16:47.839 --> 00:16:55.319 overall though I really like this little machine it's the XPS 14 that I have 00:16:53.160 --> 00:16:58.680 always wanted it has essentially the same power as the 15 little bit slower 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 00:17:00.440 --> 00:17:06.039 as well I will very happily give up the 00:17:03.440 --> 00:17:09.400 500 C bench points for half a kilogram off the weight there is one thing though 00:17:07.919 --> 00:17:14.959 this is a professional device and professional devices come with big money 00:17:12.439 --> 00:17:19.799 how much is it $3,358 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 00:17:21.959 --> 00:17:29.880 pretty terrible value if you are a person that is looking for a laptop that 00:17:26.160 --> 00:17:34.880 has these specs you can get like the nv5 00:17:29.880 --> 00:17:36.320 or the Lenovo 7i Pro for half as much 00:17:34.880 --> 00:17:40.240 and it will give you essentially the same thing those also don't come with 00:17:38.000 --> 00:17:46.480 like vpro and Dell's professional warranty crap that's 00:17:43.280 --> 00:17:48.360 really good so yeah if you're in a 00:17:46.480 --> 00:17:51.919 situation where you are buying a laptop I don't think I can recommend this but 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 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 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 00:18:01.880 --> 00:18:08.919 we have a massive queue of laptops uh hit like get subscribed and just have a 00:18:06.080 --> 00:18:08.919 fantastic day
