I'm literally only buying this to have a capable programming unit on the go. It has USB-C PD and DP, could care less if the screen doesn't cover 98% SRGB. I'm mostly after the USB-C port, and the 6 core 12 thread ryzen to be able to multi-task better. Got this for a steal Black Friday 2021, so I couldn't be more happy.

I don't often leave comments, but I felt I needed to with this one. I had a horrible experience with DELL service and a 2 in 1 laptop (i5 previous gen). I saw this and winced. Stay clear of this style of laptop. Gets way to hot and locks up. Horrendous design.
@@metallurgico not on every laptop. i've more than 10 laptops and their hinges are unbroken. do you use yours as a stepper, or are you a troglodyte when it comes to equipment?
this laptop whenever i got it genuinely surprised me. It’s very nice and the backlit keyboard is great, and it’s 2 in 1 and touch screen, so a beast when it comes to work. But whenever i downloaded some games for on the go and stuff, o m g. It can run Minecraft at an average 60 FPS and with a higher end game, like rocket league, it ran 65! I guess the only downside I had was the fan is fairly loud when i start up games even when the computer is cool. However, this is a lower end laptop, and the trackpad is underwhelming, so i just use a regular mouse. Overall, it’s a pretty nice budget laptop in my opinion. nice review as well!
I can 100 % vouch for this 360 hinge form factor, although this particular laptop is very underwhelming. If you want to just consume content on the go, the tent and tablet modes will make the device's footprint much smaller. For example I can watch videos in my very small kitchen while cooking because of the tent mode. Watching movies on the train with the tablet mode is quite excellent (provided a bright screen) as I can easily switch seating position & screen angle. And when it's time to get stuff done (or do some light gaming), the laptop mode is there.
A direct comparison to the HP Envy x360 would have been interesting. The HP is reviewed rather positively without any of the weird behaviour you experienced. And they seem to occupy the same spot on the market.
Dell has always done this; you can't find a laptop in the history of this company with an AMD cpu that doesn't have some wierd/incompetent (perhaps even malicious) decisions being made that affect the performance and/or experience negatively. I'm not saying 2004-2008 is happening again in some form but yeah very wierd/interesting laptop.

I've had my 8gb ram 2in1 model for almost two years now and it stands as the best laptop I've ever owned among nearly a hundred others in the past. It's the epitome of a budget powerhouse even for gaming, Baldurs gate, WoW, Diablo, Skyrim with maxed out graphics and 400 active mods? No problem.

I think you missed the mark on the reasoning behind the Zen 2 usage. Part of it is fulfilling supply (and using unsold supply they might still be contractually required to get). But look at what the odd numbered chips were last year. HT disabled versions of the higher even numbering. While Zen 3 has a significant performance increase in single core. The MT performance of using HT enabled chip is going to be a wash or maybe even slightly better. Customers (OEMs) still have options for lower priced Zen3 U chips, but by offering the 4800 as a 5700, they also let them decide to prioritize MT performance in their ULV CPU's if they want to go that route. Personally while the naming scheme may have people confused on what chip they are getting, it seems a better solution than 4 separate chips with just haphazardly lowered core speeds and cache settings to create some kind of segmentation for no reason. I get why Intel does, they have production that will allow them to have millions of CPU's per sku. AMD not so much and it doesn't seem to be the type segmentation they are a fan of doing.
This was too harsh. The speakers are actually pretty good, better than the flex 5 I had before, it also starts up really fast. The only real problem is its dim display.
I have an inspiron 14 2in1, a last gen one I got on sale for like 650 with a 4700u, 16gb, and a 512gb ssd. It's a good laptop, but I wish I spent the extra money on something with a better screen.
With my XPS 13 I had Dells Power Management program installed by default which was my only option for getting different power and fan profiles. Not liking the 'force' dell ecosystem out of the box but the XPS is still great considering I got it as a Black Friday sale last year.
The price isn't great compared to the Vivobook the 5500u is $529 and $799 for the 5700u. The only major benefit the Inspiron has is USB DP charging vs DC jack on the Vivobook, and a larger battery 42 vs 54. The price difference is significant, getting the 5700u Vivobook with 16GB of ram and 1TB of SSD for the cost of the 5500u 8GB 256GB Inspiron is a large upgrade.
I think it's better to think of as the 5500u and 5700u as a 4600u and a 4800u you can actually find. Like Zen 3 U-series, a Zen 2 U-series processor with SMT was impossible to find last year, and towards the beginning, Zen 2 barely existed at all. There is a model of Zenbook 14 that has a 5700u and MX 450 GPU. That might be worth getting over this.
I'm holding out for next year's HP Envy 14 which might come with a Alder Lake CPU and 3050TI. Hopefully it delivers big.LITTLE efficiency with RX 580-class gaming performance for $1250. Would love to see more laptops with bright, accurate 14.5-inch 16:10 displays though. 👍
Hey Hardware Canucks, I am in the market for a new laptop that I will use for school, I can either get the Dell xps 13 or this Dell Inspiron, I will also be doing some gaming like valorant, Minecraft and occasionally other games. Which one would you recommend I should get?
I bought Dell inspiron 5406 2 in 1 way back in 2020 and the laptop was great but it was always suffering from BSOD problem, Dell Support assist, My Dell, My Dell not opening, Microsoft store not installing apps issues. Even fresh installation of windows 10 didn't solve the issue. But now after some updates it was fixed. Dell really has some work to do. They have great hardware but need to work on their softwares though. After installing windows 11, the problem was fixed except the laptop was getting very hot, battery life shortened by about 80%. Like I get 6-7 hrs in windows 10 but after installing windows 11, the battery life was 1-2 hrs. This was tested with light tasks like watching videos, doing tasks like powerpoint.
My dell inspiron 5585 w/amd3500u also freezes. I think its the chipset or imature motherboard drivers. People online point to problems with sleeping or using additional displays. This freezing while reorienting or being left alone during filming sound similar.
[Fixed] I got the "amd chipset software". I had to get the old driver whose name ended in an acronym like ofwm. ¿The old driver was supported by microsoft while the latest was not yet? Im on 3.10.08.506 as of dec12,2021. Any newer drivers shouldnt have this problem.
found a fix i had to reinstall the amd chipset drivers. the latest version i had was not supported by windows..... for real. no more freezes or stalls as it sleep or adds a monitor.
i bought dell inspiron 13 2-in-1 laptop in 2016. still using it in 2021 albeit only for light use in gaming. and school work. even in first month i got it the touchpad is wonky, nowdays the touchpad 95% of the time not working. the only saving grace is i can use the touchscrren to tap on stuff... the keyboard is great but then this year is started going wonky as well. i would suggest others to wait review from other long time users before buying it...... to see if they havent improve on previous failure, then it is not worth it...
keep in mind, it could be a great machine for its price, if only the touchpad and keyboard issue is fixed. after all i ve spent four-five years on the machine.
I'm in college right now and the only use for me of a laptop right now (and for the next 3 years) is going to be attending online classes and givinf presentations. Maybe watching Netflix sometimes. I've been thinking of getting the 11th gen i5 processor, 512GB variant. Will it be enough for what I'm intending to use it for?
Sorry, I think that your windows installation is very screwed up... I own the 1165g7 version of this laptop and I never got a single one of your problems (neither USB, no power profiles, touchpad or random freezes) both on windows and linux... And my display gets 82% adobe RGB, and about 330 nits...
@@cameronbosch1213 Never noticed... Like I said, never used edge if not for downloading firefox... And BTW I use Linux all the time, Windows has disappeared from my life in the last 5 years, fortunately
Idk what everyone is talking about. Just bought this for work and its great and user friendly. Sure it gets a little warm, all electronic devices do. Or if it breaks this and that, and the automatic decisions on the OS. You can reject them. And the display looks good and it feels like a smooth lap top, and its pretty quick too. yall trippin, spoiled asses
@@cameronbosch1213 Well, actually, compared to the previous generation of this, with the 4000U series APUs, Dell did fix the heatsink design. but then they went backwards by removing a dedicated power connector, making the trackpad worse, and adding more mysterious freezing.
PLZ REPLY I bought a i5 512gb version. It's just a day old. I turned it on now and it doesn't work. Like it's so slow setting took 20 minutes to open. Any idea what's wrong?
What an awful product. For 1000$ you get a zen 2 processor, a keyboard that is “fine”, a trackpad and buttons that are “a joke” a single power plan, a 1080p “poor” display with ONLY 240 nits (wtf?), random crashes in tent mode, and single core performance behind all the competition. What is dell smoking here?
The crashes may or may not be an issue with Windows 10 and Edge, but regarding everything else you said, that is indeed on Dell. They can't make a good laptop anymore without serious compromises.
I have the 2020 version of this. Only difference is that it has the 4500U which lacks SMT so only 6C/6T. Spec'd like the 5500U mentioned earlier in the review. I have been enjoying it. Only made 1 video with it with Resolve just to see how it performed, definitely not what this was made for. Only in a pinch when on the road. Gaming was alright but no AAA games, get a dedicated GPU.
you should check out the lenovo IdeaPad 5 Pro 16; 5600H, 16gb ram, 16" 1440p 120hz 350 cd/m² display and the option to put in a 1650 or 3050. they start at about 750$
Does this power throttle on battery to get those screen on times? It would be good if this is mentioned so that anyone that buys this to do intensive workloads on the go will know that they will have a much worse experience than on a Mac or Intel machine? Still not sold on 2-in-1 devices as they are rather awkward when used as a tablet. The glossy low nit display makes this a deal breaker and hard to recommend to anyone that needs a laptop for the go. As for Dell, I may have been unlucky but I have had multiple laptops fail over the years and I feel that their QC is hit and miss. Def not in my short list especially with OLED 2K 90Hz machines coming soon and also the new 12th gen Intel. Easy no buy IMHO.
I have the same model Inspiron 14 2-in-1 Laptop (AMD 7) 16/512 everything is great but if the charger is plugged its getting hot and laggy any solution?
Hey, I am confused to buy between inspiron 14(2 in 1 )7000 series and inspiron 15 (2 in 1) 7506 or hp pavillion x360 15/14 would be better than the inspiron's?? Also does small screen cuz more stress to eyesight?? Could you please help me out?
Looking to buy this laptop but dell's website says it has 1 USB 4.0 type C with power delivery + display port is their a way to confirm this ? Your review says otherwise.
I am using the unit with Ryzen 5 5500U. It has USB C port for data + power delivery. Bought a USB C Hub to connect to USB C port (to connect HDMIs, USB C or USB A or micro SD etc). Only snag is, due to the USB C hub, 65W charger delivers 57W. So, I bought an extra USB C charger of 90W. Now, no problem at all. Added more ram to 16GB and increased the storage to 1 TB (Samsung 970 Evo Plus 1TB). All working well indoor. 👍
This seems like a paid Asus content. I've been using this for like 3-4 months now and have used the Zenbook 13 too. The trackpad takes a day or two to get used to but it's actually a pretty decent trackpad. I don't use a mouse nor do I intend to buy one. Plus it has gestures in the mouse pad which help in easy navigation. For the display, it's not too different from the Envy or the Zenbook 13. Yes, it's not as good as an XPS but that's obvious. In the real world scenario if you're consuming content, you won't even get to know the difference. For the keyboard, it'll take you a couple of days to get used to this layout as it's compact but the keys aren't so small which in practice is more comfortable than the XPS. Yes the keys have a shorter travel but once you're used to this you'll find other keyboards just take more effort to type since the shorter travel makes it really light on your fingers. Battery life is around 10+ similar to Envy and Zenbook and performance is actually pretty good. I think they need to do a long term review for this device than just a 15 min first impression because within the first 15 mins even I felt I wasn't comfortable.
@@proxfreddy9707 I haven't played Dota on this yet bro. I've played games and everything works fine as per the specs you expect. You'll get slightly better gaming performance to an Envy 13 due to the 5500U/5700U
I watched the full review and feel the same that this guy is trying harder to find cons in dell Inspiron. Anyway despite the negative review I just ordered it.
Can you please review the Dell Inspiron 14 5410 2in1 with the Intel i7-1195G7 & NVIDIA Geforce MX350 2GB. Considering it for my wife for her photography hobby.
In terms of value and battery life, AMD > Intel. Yes, Intel is better with higher power limits, but battery life is much worse than AMD and at lower CPU power limits, AMD takes the lead. Not to mention, thermals are often better as a result.
If you are talking zen2 vs intel 11th-gen, Intel has the advantage of single core performance (the majority of tasks run on laptops are of this nature, very few task are optimized for many cores to run better), better higher power performance, thunderbolt, and instant wifi-6 integration, pcie 4 for faster storage, and a mostly better performing iGPU. Zen2 is way better in multicore tasks(which are a minority on most users task), power efficiency and usually price to performance(intel tax), zen2 and AMD is better value on the lower to mid priced laptops. Higher end laptops, Intel could be better value depending on the chip in question, especially on H series chips, and what the laptop is used for. Its not a straight, one is better than the other. It depends primarily on what you want out of your laptop.
This is what I've been looking for - a 2-in-1 with Ryzen 5000. Thanks for the review.

I get why Intel does, they have production that will allow them to have millions of CPU's per sku. AMD not so much and it doesn't seem to be the type segmentation they are a fan of doing.
What do you think of the Acer Aspire Vero? Have you done a video on that?
Great review, lovely laptop :)
This was too harsh. The speakers are actually pretty good, better than the flex 5 I had before, it also starts up really fast. The only real problem is its dim display.
Your reviews are so good to watch. Waiting for Acer SWIFT X review. I hope you will make that review soon.
I have an inspiron 14 2in1, a last gen one I got on sale for like 650 with a 4700u, 16gb, and a 512gb ssd. It's a good laptop, but I wish I spent the extra money on something with a better screen.
With my XPS 13 I had Dells Power Management program installed by default which was my only option for getting different power and fan profiles. Not liking the 'force' dell ecosystem out of the box but the XPS is still great considering I got it as a Black Friday sale last year.
The price isn't great compared to the Vivobook the 5500u is $529 and $799 for the 5700u. The only major benefit the Inspiron has is USB DP charging vs DC jack on the Vivobook, and a larger battery 42 vs 54. The price difference is significant, getting the 5700u Vivobook with 16GB of ram and 1TB of SSD for the cost of the 5500u 8GB 256GB Inspiron is a large upgrade.
Is this the one that's on sale at best buy right now for 550 and is this the best bang for your buck at that price point...please help
Pls review the Pavilion Aero as well Eber!! 🙏🏻
Saw the part on Adobe premiere pro. I will be doing some video editing with this laptop. Doesn’t need to be 4 k. Just want to know if it will keep up?
I think it's better to think of as the 5500u and 5700u as a 4600u and a 4800u you can actually find. Like Zen 3 U-series, a Zen 2 U-series processor with SMT was impossible to find last year, and towards the beginning, Zen 2 barely existed at all.
There is a model of Zenbook 14 that has a 5700u and MX 450 GPU. That might be worth getting over this.
So should I get this or the HP Pavilion x360 when it comes to using it for light gaming and work and watching shows?
I guess the Same laptop?? But I got this laptop last week and it seems much better than this one? (Mine is a 7415 14 ryzen 7 5700u 16gb ram 512ssd)
I'm holding out for next year's HP Envy 14 which might come with a Alder Lake CPU and 3050TI.
Hopefully it delivers big.LITTLE efficiency with RX 580-class gaming performance for $1250.
Would love to see more laptops with bright, accurate 14.5-inch 16:10 displays though. 👍
I wish these 2-in-1s came with a 16:10 screen minimum, preferably 3:2.
I love you hoodie!! Where can I get one?
Hey Hardware Canucks, I am in the market for a new laptop that I will use for school, I can either get the Dell xps 13 or this Dell Inspiron, I will also be doing some gaming like valorant, Minecraft and occasionally other games. Which one would you recommend I should get?
This with a 5700U or HP ENVY x360 w/ 5700U? 🤔
....or should I wait for the 5825U version of this?
How is the new Inspiron 14 2in1 7730U? Can you please make the video of that ?
1. Serious heating issue. (Weird Exhaust)
2. Battery Life is Poor.
3. Track Pad is way too rough
4. Pressing Track pad button gives a cheap feeling.
I bought Dell inspiron 5406 2 in 1 way back in 2020 and the laptop was great but it was always suffering from BSOD problem, Dell Support assist, My Dell, My Dell not opening, Microsoft store not installing apps issues. Even fresh installation of windows 10 didn't solve the issue. But now after some updates it was fixed. Dell really has some work to do. They have great hardware but need to work on their softwares though.
After installing windows 11, the problem was fixed except the laptop was getting very hot, battery life shortened by about 80%. Like I get 6-7 hrs in windows 10 but after installing windows 11, the battery life was 1-2 hrs. This was tested with light tasks like watching videos, doing tasks like powerpoint.
My dell inspiron 5585 w/amd3500u also freezes. I think its the chipset or imature motherboard drivers. People online point to problems with sleeping or using additional displays. This freezing while reorienting or being left alone during filming sound similar.
[Fixed] I got the "amd chipset software". I had to get the old driver whose name ended in an acronym like ofwm. ¿The old driver was supported by microsoft while the latest was not yet?
Im on 3.10.08.506 as of dec12,2021. Any newer drivers shouldnt have this problem.
found a fix i had to reinstall the amd chipset drivers. the latest version i had was not supported by windows..... for real.
no more freezes or stalls as it sleep or adds a monitor.
i bought dell inspiron 13 2-in-1 laptop in 2016. still using it in 2021 albeit only for light use in gaming. and school work. even in first month i got it the touchpad is wonky, nowdays the touchpad 95% of the time not working. the only saving grace is i can use the touchscrren to tap on stuff... the keyboard is great but then this year is started going wonky as well. i would suggest others to wait review from other long time users before buying it...... to see if they havent improve on previous failure, then it is not worth it...
keep in mind, it could be a great machine for its price, if only the touchpad and keyboard issue is fixed. after all i ve spent four-five years on the machine.
@@nurnabilah1921 The touchpad QC on Dell Laptops has been HORRIBLE recently; stay away from them.
You might check to see if the battery is swelling and causing these issues.
I'm just unboxing it for my mom, and I just experience that unease feeling with the track pad so yeah, we're getting a mouse!
I'm in college right now and the only use for me of a laptop right now (and for the next 3 years) is going to be attending online classes and givinf presentations. Maybe watching Netflix sometimes.
I've been thinking of getting the 11th gen i5 processor, 512GB variant.
Will it be enough for what I'm intending to use it for?

Dell is a joke anyway. They half-ass their Intel products. Why? Well, guess who is Intel's biggest customer... 🙄
Like when LTT has budget laptops and they start at 1500 lol
@@WayStedYou Oh, don't get me started on "back to school" laptops that in reality start at $1500... 🙄

@METhOdhowtoKilLnoObS Oh I agree. I was just joking that tech reviewers are often not grounded to their viewers.
This is confusing as some reviews cite this as having 100% srgb. Are you in the States? I'm in the UK.
Sorry, I think that your windows installation is very screwed up... I own the 1165g7 version of this laptop and I never got a single one of your problems (neither USB, no power profiles, touchpad or random freezes) both on windows and linux... And my display gets 82% adobe RGB, and about 330 nits...
Did you use the pen with edge?

@@gioelebezzan2351 Good, because Edge has that issue.

What a cool hoodie! ;)
Does the standard imperon have a better display?
Idk what everyone is talking about. Just bought this for work and its great and user friendly. Sure it gets a little warm, all electronic devices do. Or if it breaks this and that, and the automatic decisions on the OS. You can reject them. And the display looks good and it feels like a smooth lap top, and its pretty quick too. yall trippin, spoiled asses
Nice sweater! I like it.
Zenbook memory is soldered and not upgradable whereas you can add more memory to Dell Inspiron 7415.
I hope Dell watches this review and get to improve their AMD offerings.
Of course they won't. If Intel loses their biggest customer, they will not be well off! 😂
@@cameronbosch1213 Well, actually, compared to the previous generation of this, with the 4000U series APUs, Dell did fix the heatsink design.
but then they went backwards by removing a dedicated power connector, making the trackpad worse, and adding more mysterious freezing.
Nice review.
And then I noticed the hoodie drawstrings
wait.....so you're saying you cant go into control panel and create a powerplan?
PLZ REPLY I bought a i5 512gb version. It's just a day old. I turned it on now and it doesn't work. Like it's so slow setting took 20 minutes to open. Any idea what's wrong?
Prob driver issue
@@SiegeOfShanghai yes lmaoo there were no drivers in it at all loool
Hp envy x360 is better than this ?
2 and 1 are god tier
What an awful product. For 1000$ you get a zen 2 processor, a keyboard that is “fine”, a trackpad and buttons that are “a joke” a single power plan, a 1080p “poor” display with ONLY 240 nits (wtf?), random crashes in tent mode, and single core performance behind all the competition.
What is dell smoking here?
The crashes may or may not be an issue with Windows 10 and Edge, but regarding everything else you said, that is indeed on Dell. They can't make a good laptop anymore without serious compromises.
Please do a review on the LG Gram 16
I have the 2020 version of this. Only difference is that it has the 4500U which lacks SMT so only 6C/6T. Spec'd like the 5500U mentioned earlier in the review. I have been enjoying it. Only made 1 video with it with Resolve just to see how it performed, definitely not what this was made for. Only in a pinch when on the road. Gaming was alright but no AAA games, get a dedicated GPU.
you should check out the lenovo IdeaPad 5 Pro 16; 5600H, 16gb ram, 16" 1440p 120hz 350 cd/m² display and the option to put in a 1650 or 3050. they start at about 750$
Why is this discontinued?
@@EvanBurnetteMusic its not discontinued as far as I know
Is the regular 14plus good ?
REALLY NEED HELP
Does this power throttle on battery to get those screen on times? It would be good if this is mentioned so that anyone that buys this to do intensive workloads on the go will know that they will have a much worse experience than on a Mac or Intel machine?
Still not sold on 2-in-1 devices as they are rather awkward when used as a tablet. The glossy low nit display makes this a deal breaker and hard to recommend to anyone that needs a laptop for the go. As for Dell, I may have been unlucky but I have had multiple laptops fail over the years and I feel that their QC is hit and miss. Def not in my short list especially with OLED 2K 90Hz machines coming soon and also the new 12th gen Intel. Easy no buy IMHO.
You are correct about their poor QC issues, especially their trackpad issues.
I have the same model Inspiron 14 2-in-1 Laptop (AMD 7) 16/512 everything is great but if the charger is plugged its getting hot and laggy any solution?
Hey, I am confused to buy between inspiron 14(2 in 1 )7000 series and inspiron 15 (2 in 1) 7506 or hp pavillion x360 15/14 would be better than the inspiron's??
Also does small screen cuz more stress to eyesight??
Could you please help me out?
0:26 MacBook Air with M1 chip costs less than $1000 too.
Would u recommend this for 4k video editing?
It only has a 1080p display, it can process 4k video, but you won't be able to see it in 4k.
I think waiting for Lenovo Flex 14 might be a good idea. 🤔
This good for college ?
Can we get Galaxy book pro 360 review ? 🙃
Looking to buy this laptop but dell's website says it has 1 USB 4.0 type C with power delivery + display port is their a way to confirm this ? Your review says otherwise.
I am using the unit with Ryzen 5 5500U. It has USB C port for data + power delivery. Bought a USB C Hub to connect to USB C port (to connect HDMIs, USB C or USB A or micro SD etc). Only snag is, due to the USB C hub, 65W charger delivers 57W. So, I bought an extra USB C charger of 90W. Now, no problem at all. Added more ram to 16GB and increased the storage to 1 TB (Samsung 970 Evo Plus 1TB). All working well indoor. 👍
Witch one is much better amd Ryzen 5 16giga ram 512 ssd / i5 16giga ram same 512giga both 13th generation
What kind of watch is that?
I think all those issues related to the processor! I think it's doing better with Intel i7 11th Gen.
Man I’m in high school going to college and I’m running out of time… I got 600 dollars and I like to watch movies and a lot of TH-cam
Battery life ?
Buddy, I am an accountant looking good a solid 2 n 1 , amd, full keyboard. Any recommendations?
i have this laptop and tbh its pretty good, I'm a student in compsci and this is probably the best all around laptop
@@franbanz1589 Does it handle ides well?
5500u is zen2 with firmware upgrades only, not too bad but still lags behind proper zen3
Damn. Dell really dropped the ball on this one.
This seems like a paid Asus content.
I've been using this for like 3-4 months now and have used the Zenbook 13 too.
The trackpad takes a day or two to get used to but it's actually a pretty decent trackpad.
I don't use a mouse nor do I intend to buy one. Plus it has gestures in the mouse pad which help in easy navigation.
For the display, it's not too different from the Envy or the Zenbook 13. Yes, it's not as good as an XPS but that's obvious.
In the real world scenario if you're consuming content, you won't even get to know the difference.
For the keyboard, it'll take you a couple of days to get used to this layout as it's compact but the keys aren't so small which in practice is more comfortable than the XPS.
Yes the keys have a shorter travel but once you're used to this you'll find other keyboards just take more effort to type since the shorter travel makes it really light on your fingers.
Battery life is around 10+ similar to Envy and Zenbook and performance is actually pretty good.
I think they need to do a long term review for this device than just a 15 min first impression because within the first 15 mins even I felt I wasn't comfortable.
Sir, Do you play games on it? Im curious how gaming experience is with dota2 (the only game i play)
@@proxfreddy9707 I haven't played Dota on this yet bro. I've played games and everything works fine as per the specs you expect. You'll get slightly better gaming performance to an Envy 13 due to the 5500U/5700U
I watched the full review and feel the same that this guy is trying harder to find cons in dell Inspiron. Anyway despite the negative review I just ordered it.
Do i need authenticated graphics card to run software like matlab, hysis or python?
Or integrated graphics is okay
RAZER BLADE 17 MID 2021 PLEASE ... I'M INTERESTING BUYING IT
Can you please review the Dell Inspiron 14 5410 2in1 with the Intel i7-1195G7 & NVIDIA Geforce MX350 2GB. Considering it for my wife for her photography hobby.
it sucks that it's a zen2 cpu but still better than intel by a long mile.
In terms of value and battery life, AMD > Intel. Yes, Intel is better with higher power limits, but battery life is much worse than AMD and at lower CPU power limits, AMD takes the lead. Not to mention, thermals are often better as a result.
If you are talking zen2 vs intel 11th-gen, Intel has the advantage of single core performance (the majority of tasks run on laptops are of this nature, very few task are optimized for many cores to run better), better higher power performance, thunderbolt, and instant wifi-6 integration, pcie 4 for faster storage, and a mostly better performing iGPU. Zen2 is way better in multicore tasks(which are a minority on most users task), power efficiency and usually price to performance(intel tax), zen2 and AMD is better value on the lower to mid priced laptops. Higher end laptops, Intel could be better value depending on the chip in question, especially on H series chips, and what the laptop is used for. Its not a straight, one is better than the other. It depends primarily on what you want out of your laptop.
