2013-11-20
hey guys on duty with our Canucks and we're here at the del event where they have a lot of enterprise solutions but the 17 things that interest us and obviously our viewers is consumer grade product so there'll be showcasing some of their latest releases here so let's go check out some of their latest ultrabooks take a look at the beastly alienware 18 laptop and actually i'm reviewing the alienware 17 so that's coming shortly but right now let's go and take a look at some of the things that really should be interesting s and should be coming out near in the future so let's go alright so one of the cool things we saw at this Dell conference is this low guy this is the XPS 11 and it's pretty unique because this is the resolution of 2560 x 1440 now on 11 inch screen it is actually quite incredible because everything looks so tiny you actually have to be this close to the screen in order to actually read what's in that search bar you guys can certainly tell what's going on over here but it is a unique way to interact with your machinery I guess and very difficult to actually be going to type something and obviously you can lower the resolution to get get appropriate reading levels but on 11 your screen it is definitely unique another cool thing about this little ultrabook / on notebook is this keyboard it is a capacitive keyboard which is actually a little bit difficult to type on to be honest uh initially I was thinking that maybe it sort of has a touch touch feel interface but it doesn't you actually have to physically jam your finger into the button in order for it to register but there's no nothing in there too to give you the feedback that you've actually pressed the button so it might it's not the most comfortable keyboard to type on and it's actually a lot more difficult because you have to literally just press your finger in there for the button to register but also another cool thing about this is actually it is also touch I'm not sure if I've showcase that but there we go this is also a two-on-one sort of like a notebook / tablet it's not extremely light for this form factor but and it's also there's nothing to kind of hold this keyboard in place so it's not the most comfortable of tablets in there like tuned ones and also the keyboard is disabled one while it's in this mode so yea it is definitely unique product absolutely not for everybody in terms of connectivity let's see actually look how thin this thing is it's very thin 11 inch notebook so we have a USB HDMI headphone and you have speakers sort of on the sides so that's a much better thing than having speakers on the bottom and there you go this is the XPS 18 from Dell very unique 2 in 1 / capacitive keyboard with extremely high resolution display on this very tiny 11 inch form factor alright guys so it's matt here at the dell event with harbor Canucks and right now we're going to take a look at the XPS 15 Testarossa now this netbook or this notebook is extremely powerful and I mean it kind of kind of comes with the name with the XPS name now one of the things that is really important about this laptop but it actually uses the i7 processor so it's a quad core with multi-threading as well it's got 16 gigs worth of ram and a nvidia 750 mobile GPU now one of the biggest selling features about this netbook or this notebook is actually the fact that it uses an 1800 p display now this means that it's got 32 x 1800 pixels the density is very very tight so the quality of the screen and the color reproduction of the screen is fantastic for what you're getting for the device another thing as well too is that has plenty connectivity including USB display port as well as hdmi and quite a few other features that will go into a little bit detail later on so let's just take a quick look as well as you can see that the does have a front facing webcam and a capacitive touch pad the keys are still give a little bit of feedback but it's what you would expect from a notebook I mean it's not going to have amex cherry switches on it but it still gives you quite a bit good amount of feedback so it's got that tactile feel that you would want the screen is incredibly vibrant it's it looks fantastic that's only way I can really explain it outside of that this is the XPS 15 Testarossa and keep on checking back for more okay guys so we're taking a look at one of Dell sinuous offerings and I personally I think this is going to be one of the biggest successes they've had for the Christmas season coming up and the reason why well it's this little guy right here we're looking at the inspiron 11 so it's an 11 inch notebook but the biggest and most important thing about this notebook is that it's touch screen and the price 399 so this is going to compete directly with other books that are priced similarly in the market but the biggest feature is that it's a touchscreen and it uses the AMD a6 apu and four gigs worth of ram and a 500 gig hard drive so guys do you want to see more from Dell and more from what we got for me today just keep on watching alright so another cool thing we discovered here at dell conference is this inspiron 23 now you guys have you know that we've taken a look at the XPS 18 which is the all-in-one 18 sort of tablet / all-in-one desktop but this is an actual all-in-one desktop this is not a tablet type of computer where you can actually you cannot take it off the the dock but what's cool about it is it's a 23 inch and it's the world's thinnest 23 inch aio that's actually quite impressive you get very clean edges aluminum frame and it's actually very thin as well which is you know for for a compact system for compact spaces that's the best way to go really the awesome thing about this computer is the base i think the base and this articulating arm because you can lower this to this angle to this degree and there you go it's completely flat horizontal so you can do things with it I definitely find use in this scenario if you are working from home for example and you'd like to be standing this is going to be a very good interface for like you work environment I could see that to be a very useful thing we have a front webcam it's a touch interface of course 1080p display bring this back up it is very stiff at the moment there's a pre-production model but I do like that because it's not going to be shifting if you accidentally touch it so you do have to be working with this with two hands in order to adjust the screen the speaker is located inside the base so that's a cool thing because from Dell we've seen some speakers sort of in the very awkward positions that don't really work I do like the speakers right there so it's going to be directing audit towards you and one thing that I do think this computer is lagging is in connectivity so the calling tivity is actually all the back so we have power and the thing is this doesn't have a battery built in so you has to be powered on all the time nor to actually be in use and it only has two years be ports which is very limiting I would say but they do come with bluetooth mouse and keyboard mouse mouse and keyboard and that's a good thing that is included with the salads computer so this is the inspiron 23 go head on over to delcom for all the information and configurations and now we have the big alienware 18 so let's go check that out alright guys this is the big one this is the alienware teen i'm sorry we're gonna have to tease you about this configuration because they definitely brought out the most beefy system you can get a lemur 18 starts about 2k all the way up to 5k so depending on your configuration you can go up to this insane machine so specs wise this is 780m SLI dual GPUs dual 7 80s in there absolutely amazing it's got a 4 quad-core 4930 MX CPU so clocked at three gigahertz again it's going to be an absolute powerhouse 32 gigs of RAM and most importantly actually well not most importantly but one of the selling features is this intel raid 0 4 512 gigabyte SSD satou for a total of almost a terabyte of storage and write 0 for ssds absolutely insane so this is an 18 inch 1920 x 1080 P resolution will be running any game at the highest ultra aspects absolutely no problems now alienware is a focusing with this with the system to be sort of a desktop replacement i'm sure this is not going to be a mobile gaming solution for you for example if you travel a lot and you gaming machine this going to be sort of out of the question because it's way too heavy it's kind of bulky as well but this is a desktop replacement with style so one cool things is alien effects as you can see we have strips on the bottom you have three srt four zones for the keyboard in total so you can actually configure them each individual zones again something fancy alienware logo in here you can change every single LED colors on this computer quite insane for gaming as well alienware effects is sort of a cool thing integrated into the laptop because it interacts with your game so it's a custom API they built to interact with game so if your health is low this is going to be flashing red if you're totally fine for example be green and it they work with a lot of games unfortunately we're now we are not aware what games that are supported but we are aware there'll be more more than 50 titles that are supported with alien effects the trackpad is also lit up right now is disabled but it's a kind of a cool looking machine but it's also a huge I mean the amount of power it packs into this package is absolutely incredible so if you guys want to check out more information about this we will have alienware 17 review coming out shortly but this is 18 go on the website check out what type of configurations you have and let us know what you think of this type of configuration is this like the the ultimate gaming system you can have probably for the money and like a new mobile form factor so thanks guys for watching this concludes our coverage with this Dell enterprise kind of like all these new gadgets and all these cool things that we get to try with so thanks for watching we'll see
