Thats a good point and something I should have mentioned. I only really consider the dock for ports purposes. If I were doing bigger cpu/gpu intensive tasks I would still have the computer plugged into power.
@@rolandaroche8115 Found it on Amazon "B0916F5DTM" (TB3) but "B0B13Y2QVW" (TB4) might be a better choice. One would expect very little compatibility issues with Dell's own docks :-)
Hey Gary, you forgot to mention the number one best accessory: The Everyday Dad baseball cap. But for some reason, I could not find the link to the website which to order the cap.
for the newer XPS models, imo a good thunderbolt dock is essential. The Dell WD19TB is imo the best one. No need for power cable, plenty of and extendability, and the power button on the dock can turn on/off your XPS, so there is never a need to open your computer, if you use an external monitor and accessories.
Usually, Logitech includes a unifying receiver dongle with every wireless mouse and keyboard. You must have one to get the wireless devices to operate. Some of their Bluetooth exclusive units might not need one but they are usually included with them as well. Logitech hands them out like chicklets! 😁 There is usually a panel under the keyboard where the batteries area and it's tucked in there in a fitting for it. or it is in the battery compartment tucked in vertically. It's easy to miss if you're not looking for it. Of course, if you are like me and have a Logitech keyboard all the way back to the 1980's you have an entire parts container of them. I have 15!
As someone with carpel tunnel I was told to stop using the wrist rest and the rest pad for the mousepad. Where you rest it is your carpel tunnel area. Best thing to do is make sure your chair and keyboard are at the right height and take lots of breaks and stretches.
Good choice on the MX Master 3. I've been using that mouse since I've learned about it and I love it. Best part is that it travks everywhere - even glass.
I highly recommend the Osprey Arcane Large Day Backpack. Very sleek and understated but you get YKK zippers since Osprey uses exclusively YKK on all their bags, and I have never wanted for nice/neat storage options. it even has a very discreet water bottle pocket that I use everyday for my 18oz water bottle. I doesn't look like much, just don't let anyone touch it because the materials are very obviously premium 😅
Could you make a video on the what ultrawide monitor you recommend for a macbook pro setup? Please & Thx! Everyone else only talks specs, but knowing your channel...you tend to actually talk about performance in terms of experience.
Great info. Thanks. Two questions: 1) Is that Thunderbolt 3 Dock at around the 8:30 mark a surge protector as well? 2) That backpack style bag you show does look nice, but do you know of a good black canvas or leather sleeve or thin travel case of some kind for a laptop that would work well for this, that is not a backpack style but does look good/professional, that also has some kind of a zip up pocket or two to keep the power chord and included dongle in, maybe a few other things but at least those two, when I go out with the laptop? Thanks again, and great work! Thumbs up!
I am with you on the keyboard and mouse, however I am a trackball man. MX Ergo I bought this laptop with a touch screen. Do you have a proposed pen or stylus that will work with XPS 17?
Has anyone used Broonel Black Fine Point Digital Active Stylus Pen (Compatible with The Dell 17 XPS 9700 17.3")? Both Amazon and Ebay sell this stylus.
Awesome reviews as always Gary!! I ended up returning my 9710 and grabbed a 16gb macbook pro m1. Sooo happy to have switched to apple. The 9710 wasn't performing quite like I was hoping. Sleep issues, Bluetooth mouse lag issues, over heating, very low battery life etc.

Is the 85W PD of OCW dock enough for let’s say while editing?

@@TheEverydayDad great. Thanks for the reply! 👍🏻
There are docks out there that supply 130W. Dell has one.

I still go back to my Mx Keys every time. I've gone through so many mechanical keyboards from cheap ones to Topres.
I'm glad you've joined the MX Master / Keys trend, they're wonderful
Ordered mine a week ago, can't wait to receive it!
Same

The receiver is included with both logitech peripherals and you simply need to use their software to "unify" them into one of the receiver :)
My fav accessory ever is Sony 1000xm4
San Francisco fan girl loves your CONTENT!
Damn. I have almost exactly that setup (XPS, keybard, mouse, and the wooden -standing- desk). Guess I should be super productive now. 😀
I have the same 3 computer setup with a work pc, mac mini and gaming laptop. I use the MX anywhere to control all three.
Good choice on the MX Master 3. I've been using that mouse since I've learned about it and I love it. Best part is that it travks everywhere - even glass.
Great stuff. I ordered an XPS 17 and this is all very useful info.
“Let me tell you what, fam” lol everyday dad levels!
The Unifying receiver comes in the box with both! I have a small box at home with all the unifying receivers that came with many Logitech thingies
I really enjoy using the WD19-DC for my work setup.
Nice video! First time watcher... I enjoyed your reviews!!

You’re sending me broke Gary! I too do like your accessories videos as easier for you to hunt around or flog stuff that I can’t find…
Excellent video as always. 👌
Great tips!!
OH Good video. Could have talked about some great deals on Monitors and how easily they integrate with the dock but overall terffic!
My respect for you went way down when I saw the Ohio State hoodie. Just kidding. Appreciate the content! Go Dawgs!
Very helpful for me. Thank you.
Can we see a gaming test? I would love to see Cyberpunk and bunch of other really demanding games tested on the new 3060!
Hey Gary....love your videos...keep them going 👍
Are you getting 130W with TB4 dock? If not, you'll probably have to use proprietary Dell dock.
ANC headphones for that supreme workflow focus ofc
I picked up the T5 for less than $90 on prime days.

Love my MX Master 3 Mouse
Hey Gary,
Do you know the settings for using the XPS 17 laptop with SOLIDWORKS
Great info. Thanks. Two questions: 1) Is that Thunderbolt 3 Dock at around the 8:30 mark a surge protector as well? 2) That backpack style bag you show does look nice, but do you know of a good black canvas or leather sleeve or thin travel case of some kind for a laptop that would work well for this, that is not a backpack style but does look good/professional, that also has some kind of a zip up pocket or two to keep the power chord and included dongle in, maybe a few other things but at least those two, when I go out with the laptop? Thanks again, and great work! Thumbs up!
Good video fam
you can never go wrong with MXkeys.. loved it!
I have a complete set of display cases of Logitech products going all the way back to the 1980s!
are you going to review thermal performance of 9510 ?
I know 9710 is good, but I wonder 9510 got any better than its last year's problematic one.
Please video editing on xps 15!!!!!!
I am with you on the keyboard and mouse, however I am a trackball man. MX Ergo
I bought this laptop with a touch screen. Do you have a proposed pen or stylus that will work with XPS 17?
laptop case recommendations for xps 17?
Thanks bro
Could you recommend a Dock that is able to charge the laptop as well, so far the only one I could find is the Dell wd19tb. Thanks
One thing you did not mention with putting the laptop on a stand.... liquid spillage.
what is the refresh rate of the 1080p screen can you tell please???
60 HZ
Has anyone used Broonel Black Fine Point Digital Active Stylus Pen (Compatible with The Dell 17 XPS 9700 17.3")? Both Amazon and Ebay sell this stylus.
I bought the 9700 last year with the RTX 2060 graphics card. Is it worth it to upgrade?
you didn't slam before the starting today??
Make a video about touch screen
Awesome reviews as always Gary!!

CHANGED
The XPS 13 doesn't come with any adapter for the thunderbolt port 😭😭😭
Any chance to run some games on this?
HP QHD Monitor, can’t charge my laptop, but a single USB C cord for video and 2 USB A 3.0 Ports
Razer blade 14?
how the hell do you keep it from power limit throttling.
Lol. I know what you mean by saying "we're lucky we have HDMI at work"
Get an ergonomic keyboard and save your joints
That would be external storage instead of external memory 😊
O-H!
Can i see your gaming device
Dude, Apple makes the worst keyboards on the planet!
First!

So a 15.6" laptop bag is the BEST for a 17" laptop....please take this video down
Lol. You didn't get the point
@@MM-uh2qk Was there one?
Yes. You don't have to worry about the incovenience of carrying a bigger bag since it will fit nicely inside your 15 inch laptop bag.
Ohio State, eh?
