he's coming on fans and friends welcome back to another edition of TECA tomorrow I'm Eric your host today we're gonna look at something that's really cool something we usually don't look at a lot here at Tech Oh tomorrow and that's laptops why does because mainly I work at home all the time and don't really have a use for a laptop all that much but this one is actually something really incredible this is the brand-new Dell XPS 13 now this thing's totally geared to compete obviously with the products from Apple like everything that's pushing it is like hey this things better it's faster it's lighter it basically it's kicking ass on a damn Apple notebook that's right and actually it is it's actually the world's smallest 13-inch laptop and it's really incredible has a touchscreen with Gorilla Glass backlit keyboard and just all kinds of killer features one of my favorites actually though is the touch screen that's right and the resolution on this is 3200 by 1800 so it's pretty incredible it also weighs only three pounds I got really lucky I get this thing sent to me by Dell to check out and it actually had a lot of accessories inside this premiere backpack we'll talk about those later but right now let's jump in and let's talk about the features on the new Dell XPS 13 the Dell XPS 13 is the world's first and only laptop to feature infinity display which is totally cool it's a touchscreen features edge to edge Corning Gorilla Glass and is actually one of the coolest things I've ever seen on a laptop just the touch screen alone is really awesome when you're on a webpage and things like that you can very easily just touch your fingers on the screen and increase the size you drive to go in any settings make any changes whatsoever and it's actually one of my favorite features like I said of the laptop starting out looking at the laptop the entire outside of the laptop is made of matched aluminum and carbon fiber so you know this thing's gonna be one tough mother taking around the road as we move down from the screen down at the bottom of the left-hand side of the screen you can see the little webcam halters of the far right is the power button down the very front is the precision keyboard which also features a carbon-fiber resting-place for your hand as we go down to the front of the laptop we can see the keyboard which is totally backlit which is really cool for working in dark space and other things like that because you can actually see what you're doing as we spin around to the right side of the XPS 13 we see the first of the two stereo speakers the SD card slot USB 3.0 with power share and finally the noble lock slot as we take a look at the left-hand side of the laptop we see the AC power a mini display port for connecting external monitors another USB 3.0 with power share headset jack and a battery gauge button and indicators showing you how your battery level is doing and then last but not least the second of the stereo speakers under the hood of the XPS 13 is a fifth generation Intel Core i5 5200 u processor now this is the latest broad willyou processor features a 2.0 gigahertz CPU which features with 2.7 gigahertz in boost the actual nomenclature of the display is a 13.3 inch ultra sharp qhd+ infinity touch display this is also an IPS display panel which features 170 wide-angle viewing it also features 400 nits and a thousand to 1 contrast ratio the XPS 13 model that I got features the capacitive touchscreen option which features 10 finger touch support the XPS 13 also features 8 gigabytes of dual channel ddr3 l RS SDRAM at 1600 megahertz it also sports a 256 gigabyte SSD and Intel's embedded HD 5500 graphics one thing that's kind of strange about this laptop compared to other laptops is the battery because the battery is actually built into the laptop and cannot be replaced by the customer at all but it does feature a 3200 watt hour battery the XPS 13 features a variety of wireless connections including Bluetooth 4.0 it's also miracast capable and features Intel smart connect technology a quick note on the onboard audio the stereo speakers are professionally tuned with waves max audio pro so there you guys can see this new Dell XPS 13 boasts a host of features just all kinds of things like I said some of the really awesome things about this are the backlit keyboard this screen is just amazing I can't say enough about it 3200 by 1800 resolution that's higher than any MacBook MacBook Air the only thing that's got more resolution than that is some of those new 6k monitors 5k monitors and obviously the brand-new iMac you know that's out from the people who are at Apple that was a 5k display it's got a little bit higher resolution but for laptops and especially 30 inch laptops the Dell XPS 13 is obviously the winner it's got the highest resolution it's totally touchscreen which I don't know I just can't say enough about that like one cool thing about that is when you're going on the internet your old guy like meanie got failing eyes you're going out there and you're viewing a webpage all you have to do is like click on here let me give you guys a quick example so check this out here we go we see the Ken Suzy model so this is kind of small write the text well so you can't see you just keep making it bigger and bigger and bigger until you can see it which is totally awesome like I'm kind of getting a hold and blinding at diabetes this is something I just totally love about the XPS 13 also you know you can see up Ken Suzy's nose look I think he's got a booger right there no I'm just kidding now another cool feature along with that awesome touch screen is a virtual keyboard and had some variety of features inside of it so if some reason your keyboard onboard here takes a dump on you you can actually use the virtual keyboard you just click on this button down here gives you a variety of options you click on this button right here you can have your standard keyboard you can have a thing where you type your name inside calculator letters all kinds of different stuff so like I said folks that to me is like my favorite aspect about the laptop the XPS 13 is just incredible in that respect I read and browse and search the internet all day long now I have a lot of computers all over the house you guys know even the computer industry since the dinosaur age and so I've just had built up computers up the butt but lately I find myself going back and back and back to dumb XPS 13 laptop because that feature if I want to read something online it's too small I'd have to go do any adjustments go make any fonts bigger I just put my fingers on there boom make it bigger I personally love a lot the backlit keyboard is really good if you're working in a dark room or whatever that'll give you a lot of good productivity time now talking about productivity let's jump in real quick and let's take a look at the Geekbench score and see how this thing does on that which is actually comparable to lots of people out around the world I would give you folks kind of an audio test but it's kind of hard to do with the laptops and the speakers are on the side but I can tell you the speakers are pretty adequate such silly fools wasting the sound of this thing is pretty decent if you're watching a movie streaming videos watching you - and that stuff there's two watts per sign the speakers it's enough for a laptop trust me I mean it's not blaring you're not gonna be able to go and you know fill the arena with it rock out but for your bedroom or anything else you'll do just fine and also since it's a headphone jack if you want it louder stick a headphone in and rock out you know until the note oh you want to rock out okay so that's all the great things about the XPS 13 earlier in the video I said people that dealt kick me down some cool accessories let's talk about some of those things right here we have the dell premium sleep it's a magnetic bag put your thing in there it's all nice and velvety inside here this thing comes to market at about 49 bucks it's pretty cool we have Microsoft Office no disk at all there's just a code so you go online download it into your code and you're up and going with office we've got the USB 3.0 2 Ethernet and USB 2.0 adapter and last but not least so that things about like I think it was like 59 bucks and then last but not least we've got the 12,000 milliamp battery so think about you're on the road or whatever all of a sudden your laptop runs out of juice you're like freaking out I was in the middle of a project what the frak do I do you use this bad ass boy right here that's right automatically charge up your laptop and once again you'll get that 15 hours now the battery life on this thing was about 15 hours if you were on the net and stuff like that if you're doing other things like watching videos it's a little bit less but for surfing the net just general you should zall most 15 hours so pretty good battery life actually so let's put it over there then we also have the Bell premiere backpack and this thing's pretty awesome because it's got nice straps very comfortable padded everywhere on the front it has a place you can actually put your laptop inside of here and still charge it why it's inside of the bag a little hole for the cord to go through and all that really cool stuff I think that's a actually you can see in society here I'll let you guys see inside there it's kind of hard to see everything but there's actually a lot of different pockets in here here on the inside features a lot of different zippers more pockets and all kinds of stuff inside of here again a big huge area with more pockets lots of padded stuff so you put your laptop here books in here all kinds of cool stuff be on the road traveling around so those are the accessories like I said in the very beginning of the video I'm not usually a laptop kind of guy unless I'm going to CES or traveling or something I'm usually at home I don't really have that much use for a laptop but since I've got this Dell XPS 13 I find myself going back to it more and more and more in the living room it's pretty awesome I've got it up to my wireless network I can surf the internet and do all that stuff and do my work sit and watch a little TV be a lazy couch potato hoe so I mean I don't know three pounds that screen was amazing touch screen like we saw before a lot of power inside this thing it'll power all the latest programs out there so if you're using Photoshop using premier all that stuff your productivity would be really good on this eight gigabytes of RAM Twitter thinks these could go buy an SSD I 5 processor 2.2 gigahertz right off the bat that 2.7 in the boost I mean I don't know this thing's pretty good now the way this thing is configured it's $1,399 so that's a pretty mid-level price and where those MacBook Pros and stuff like that they have not as a good of resolution with a bigger screen they're heavier and they cost a lot more money so I really think that dell has had a really success story here because like I said it sold me over I've never really wanted a laptop like this one I like it I really do so at the end of the day I just think that's really what's important the keyboard is awesome I mean I don't know what else can I say about this thing I mean I'm not really a laptop person but yet I love this laptop so my work here on TECA tomorrow and I'm gonna play smo with the Dell XPS 13 because it's simply fun and productive
