Dell Inspiron 14Z: Video Playback

2009-12-19
hey guys jon rettinger from TechnoBuffalo here and i want to give you an overview of how the dell inspiron 14z handles youtube HD full screen playback and how it handles hulu playback watching mobile video on the go is really important to me and I assume it's important to you so let's go ahead and jump right in and check out how things look the first thing I'll notice right here is at the screen background who have gone a little bit jolted I did a test just a minute ago of youtube HD and when I came back to the home screen the screen seems to be a little bit strange and I wanted to leave this to show you exactly how it was so just as a quick refresher this is running a intel core 2 duo ultra-low voltage it's the UL 300 clocking in at the one point three gigahertz and this is an ultra low voltage chip but it is still a full core 2 duo chip and this has 3 gigabytes of RAM and it's running windows 7 64 bit home premium let's go ahead and get started and see how this stuff behaves we'll go ahead and jump right into YouTube got one of my videos right here it's actually the unboxing of the inspiron will play see how it plays into standard 14z laptop this is arranged a notebook that sorta slated above the graphic it does look to be a new units last night this one comes in so that did play nice and smooth and I want to show you the processor this takes up as well I should also mention that i'm running a screen recording program in the background to record this called Camtasia which does definitely take up some resources so just having the youtube video right here not playing but pods mall ready at about forty eight percent i'll go ahead and move this off the sides we can watch how it changes as we play the video read and does have a DVD drive which is which turn the volume down so i can talk over it jumps to about eighty two percent which is relatively high let's kick this over to HD and see what happens this ultra low voltage processors one that's being found in a lot of more modern ultra portable computers like the dell adamo XPS and a few others so it's playing nice and smoothie we're clearly well the doesn't need to be Joel T although the processor there is up at a hundred percent if I wasn't running the screen capture program I can tell you that it drops down to just about 80 but my cpu usage is quite high I'm as you can see but this can clearly handle running HD video and the handles is actually quite well just don't plan on having a lot of things running in the background let's see how it handles full screen its handling full screen very well it's running smoothly there's a little bit of choppiness but not bad and I try this again without the screen capture program and it did run very smoothly and the processor speed just around 85 to 90 so it does get very high but it's not bad and I'm not running any version of beta of Adobe Flash it's just the most recent public already spilled so let's go ahead and stop this and jump on over to Hulu and see how it handles it hulu is quite important to me it's i watch most of my TV shows from hulu so i would need a laptop that i can make sure it can more than handle this so here's a popular clip from Saturday Night Live well go ahead and watch now you can see right away the cpu usage jumped up significantly and it seems to be the less intensive than watch the videos of normal commercial breaks it seems to be less intensive then actually watching youtube videos which is quite interesting I'll turn the volume down here but is playing and it's playing very smooth let's go ahead and full screen it and the full screen does playback very smoothly so really the more look here is that if you're looking for going closes looking for your ultra low voltage shift to be able to handle HD playback in hulu playback it absolutely will with very little problems however don't expect to have many processes running in the background like I mentioned with Camtasia running the back that really jumped up to a very high hundred percent now I'm sure when adobe flash goes updates to their newest version which is currently in beta that will drop down significantly but I wanted to show you some real world tests about what it looked like if you bought it so anyway I hope you guys found this useful and a little bit helpful and show you what you can expect with the inspiron 14z and other ultra low voltage computers i'm jon rettinger and i'll see you in the next video bye bye
