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!
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 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.

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.
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
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?
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.
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.
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 got the Lenovo flex 5 core i7 11gen Invidia mx450 16gb ram .. It heats while using Chrome... The hole device is made of plastic and it does not give a premium look .. It is not build for durability. The hinge is not supported well , you are forcing the screen to rotate ..
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 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.
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 recently got a MSI Modern 15 with the 5700u. TBH its been great for my needs. I added another 8gb stick for dual channel ram and the performance has been awesome so far. I was going for a 5800u but hardware prices in Bangladesh are absolutely disgusting so I had to settle for a 5700u. It's still great tho
Yeah I bought the same laptop but with 5500u... U know the same pricing problem in india... The laptop is good tho... I got it for around 43000 inr(577 USD)... Pretty good deal ig🙂
@@irfanhakimi2721 Not really. I can usually play csgo for 1-2 hours before there's any noticeable thermal throttling. I probably would've been able to get a few more hours if I used a laptop cooling pad, but I haven't been able to find any at a good price.
To be fair, while Dell is quite bad (probably married to Intel, as Dell is Intel's biggest customer), the freezing issue is actual across all Windows 10 with Pen Input. When you open Edge and use the pen, the system will eventually freeze or BSOD with a RESOURCE_NOT_OWNED Stop Code. This is quite common across many different OEMs, and unfortunately, my ASUS has it too... 😕
The price isn't great compared to the Vivobook the 5500u is $529 and $799 for the 5700u. The only major benefit the Inspiron has is USB DP charging vs DC jack on the Vivobook, and a larger battery 42 vs 54. The price difference is significant, getting the 5700u Vivobook with 16GB of ram and 1TB of SSD for the cost of the 5500u 8GB 256GB Inspiron is a large upgrade.
you should check out the lenovo IdeaPad 5 Pro 16; 5600H, 16gb ram, 16" 1440p 120hz 350 cd/m² display and the option to put in a 1650 or 3050. they start at about 750$
I just bought this laptop and even before logging in, it starts heating up and starts sounding like an airport. Literally when I’m setting up the language. Very disappointed
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. 👍
Thank you for making these really nice videos! Have you seen the DELL Inspiron 16 Plus? It seems to be a great option, but almost no one talks about it. Keep up the good work!
I just returned a very good priced asus zenbook flip 13 oled 16/512 model and the issue I had with it was that the 16:9 screen just dont work as a tablet. It is simply to narrow. So returned it and am waiting for the ms surface pro 8 or maybe I will snap up an asus flow x. As this has an 16:9 screen it will also be a bad tablet experience.
I love my Asus ROG Flow x13, just be aware that there is a model with an on board 3050 Ti (still not great for gaming, but at least it now supports DLSS) at the same price as the original model ($1500) but it isn't with the XG Mobile; that $2800 bundle still has the 1650 GPU on board... Also know that the serious BSOD bug I mentioned elsewhere in the comments effects every Windows 2 in 1 with Edge at the moment (although it's software related).
He thinks this laptop with this specs is cheap... Check lenovo ideapad flex 5 series, lenovo is cheaper + gives free stylus pen, has good keyboard and is lighter...
Not interested in a Zen2 CPU 5700U = 4800U. People buying this probably need single-core performance, not multicore. I will stick with 1135G7 or 1165G7. They are 15-25% in single-core and 4 core are more than enough for most people. EDIT - Should have watched the full video
5700u over a 1135g7 easily. 1165g7 depending on what applications you run. Yes, most applications are single core, but also these processors are so fast you would not be able to tell the difference in performance for lightly threaded tasks which, is what most CPU tasks are. Only time you would tell the difference is if you have a long running single core task, then intel would clearly win which is what you see in single core benchmarks. There are very few of such task scenarios in real world use. Intel has 4 very fast cores and AMD has 8 fast cores. Since Intel has less cores, each core would usually have more work to do than a AMD 8 core where it's more likely to have a core that has very little or nothing in queue resulting in similar or better performance from a real world use when the operating system has to schedule tasks. It's not as simple as saying Intel has better single core performance especially for light weight task when each core is already balancing a load of work so even if a core is faster, if it's utilization is 40% and the AMD core is 10% because it has more cores to share the work of everything going on the system, the lightly threaded task which are the most, would run quicker most times on a 5700u than a 4 core varient.

I know this one. Someone brought one in to the repair shop I work at yesterday because they shattered the screen the day they bought it.
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
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)
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?
Spectre X360 with Non-OLED but still 4k display is FANTASTIC... 13hrs battery on 15in model
I wish these 2-in-1s came with a 16:10 screen minimum, preferably 3:2.
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.
@@Kareem-cx4fi That's why competition is good!
Hp envy x360 is better than this ?
What do you think of the Acer Aspire Vero? Have you done a video on that?
Dell quality control and hardware quality in general has been going downhill
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
I did a review of the Intel version on my channel last year, it was actually a decent 2in1.
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?
Lenovo Yoga 7 Gen 6 (5800u) seems to be more attractive pricewise.
Pls review the Pavilion Aero as well Eber!! 🙏🏻
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.
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.
Last years flex 5 was way better for 500 usd
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.
Thanks a lot for this reiew... I was about to order this but display matters to me a lot.
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.
Can we get Galaxy book pro 360 review ? 🙃
I got the Lenovo flex 5 core i7 11gen Invidia mx450 16gb ram .. It heats while using Chrome... The hole device is made of plastic and it does not give a premium look .. It is not build for durability. The hinge is not supported well , you are forcing the screen to rotate ..
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 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.
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?
So should I get this or the HP Pavilion x360 when it comes to using it for light gaming and work and watching shows?
This with a 5700U or HP ENVY x360 w/ 5700U? 🤔
....or should I wait for the 5825U version of this?
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
mobile screens ae getting taller, laptop screens are getting taller....why people love getting black bars on every device ??
Zenbook memory is soldered and not upgradable whereas you can add more memory to Dell Inspiron 7415.
I recently got a MSI Modern 15 with the 5700u. TBH its been great for my needs. I added another 8gb stick for dual channel ram and the performance has been awesome so far. I was going for a 5800u but hardware prices in Bangladesh are absolutely disgusting so I had to settle for a 5700u. It's still great tho
Yeah I bought the same laptop but with 5500u... U know the same pricing problem in india... The laptop is good tho... I got it for around 43000 inr(577 USD)... Pretty good deal ig🙂
From which shop did you buy it?
@@Enroid037 I got mine from Ryans Computers. Also, it's currently out of stock so you might not be able to find one
@@sinnerjohnny
does it heat up fast?
@@irfanhakimi2721 Not really. I can usually play csgo for 1-2 hours before there's any noticeable thermal throttling. I probably would've been able to get a few more hours if I used a laptop cooling pad, but I haven't been able to find any at a good price.
The 5500u model is 550 currently pretty tempting gift for someone.
Witch one is much better amd Ryzen 5 16giga ram 512 ssd / i5 16giga ram same 512giga both 13th generation
Hav anyone used dell Vostro 5415(ryzen-5 5500u)? Is that Laptop good for $800 ?
BRUH this laptop is so bad. Why does dell keep disappointing us
I would have got it as a secondary laptop if it didn’t crash / freeze for no reason.
To be fair, while Dell is quite bad (probably married to Intel, as Dell is Intel's biggest customer), the freezing issue is actual across all Windows 10 with Pen Input. When you open Edge and use the pen, the system will eventually freeze or BSOD with a RESOURCE_NOT_OWNED Stop Code. This is quite common across many different OEMs, and unfortunately, my ASUS has it too... 😕
5500u is zen2 with firmware upgrades only, not too bad but still lags behind proper zen3
great job comparing the two. thank you so much
The Inspiron track pads in the last couple of years are a joke.
The price isn't great compared to the Vivobook the 5500u is $529 and $799 for the 5700u. The only major benefit the Inspiron has is USB DP charging vs DC jack on the Vivobook, and a larger battery 42 vs 54. The price difference is significant, getting the 5700u Vivobook with 16GB of ram and 1TB of SSD for the cost of the 5500u 8GB 256GB Inspiron is a large upgrade.
I think all those issues related to the processor! I think it's doing better with Intel i7 11th Gen.
you should check out the lenovo IdeaPad 5 Pro 16; 5600H, 16gb ram, 16" 1440p 120hz 350 cd/m² display and the option to put in a 1650 or 3050. they start at about 750$
Why is this discontinued?
@@EvanBurnetteMusic its not discontinued as far as I know
Long story short, go buy the HP envy x360 15 instead? 👀
RAZER BLADE 17 MID 2021 PLEASE ... I'M INTERESTING BUYING IT
This is a BASIC model. Why would you compare this thing to a ASUSU Zenbook twice the price??? And say it lacks? So many reviews like this.
wait.....so you're saying you cant go into control panel and create a powerplan?
This shitty laptop cannot compare to the m1 air in any segment.
I just bought this laptop and even before logging in, it starts heating up and starts sounding like an airport. Literally when I’m setting up the language. Very disappointed
Does anyone know what that mountainous wallpaper is? It looks so cool.
Lenovo Yoga 7i is the same machine but gets everything right.

its trash .. dell need to up their game man
Could you please review lenovo yoga 7i 2021 laptops
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. 👍
I use this laptop for work. I cant stand the trackpad as a Mac user. My company is shipping my mouse now
Thank you for making these really nice videos! Have you seen the DELL Inspiron 16 Plus? It seems to be a great option, but almost no one talks about it. Keep up the good work!
0:26 MacBook Air with M1 chip costs less than $1000 too.
5800U Zenbook is unobtanium :/
I just got this laptop in 2023 is that bad 💀 I got 2 weeks to return lmk fr bruh
I think waiting for Lenovo Flex 14 might be a good idea. 🤔
I just returned a very good priced asus zenbook flip 13 oled 16/512 model and the issue I had with it was that the 16:9 screen just dont work as a tablet. It is simply to narrow. So returned it and am waiting for the ms surface pro 8 or maybe I will snap up an asus flow x. As this has an 16:9 screen it will also be a bad tablet experience.
I love my Asus ROG Flow x13, just be aware that there is a model with an on board 3050 Ti (still not great for gaming, but at least it now supports DLSS) at the same price as the original model ($1500) but it isn't with the XG Mobile; that $2800 bundle still has the 1650 GPU on board...
Also know that the serious BSOD bug I mentioned elsewhere in the comments effects every Windows 2 in 1 with Edge at the moment (although it's software related).
Does the standard imperon have a better display?
Dell is the worst
He thinks this laptop with this specs is cheap... Check lenovo ideapad flex 5 series, lenovo is cheaper + gives free stylus pen, has good keyboard and is lighter...
Use both of these side by side. Lenovo Flex feels shit compared to this.
@@shrijitmazumdar7974 Tell me about it. I also went to the stores to compare both of these laptops. The build quality on the flex 5 is abysmal.

Not interested in a Zen2 CPU 5700U = 4800U. People buying this probably need single-core performance, not multicore. I will stick with 1135G7 or 1165G7. They are 15-25% in single-core and 4 core are more than enough for most people.
EDIT - Should have watched the full video
5700u over a 1135g7 easily. 1165g7 depending on what applications you run. Yes, most applications are single core, but also these processors are so fast you would not be able to tell the difference in performance for lightly threaded tasks which, is what most CPU tasks are. Only time you would tell the difference is if you have a long running single core task, then intel would clearly win which is what you see in single core benchmarks. There are very few of such task scenarios in real world use. Intel has 4 very fast cores and AMD has 8 fast cores. Since Intel has less cores, each core would usually have more work to do than a AMD 8 core where it's more likely to have a core that has very little or nothing in queue resulting in similar or better performance from a real world use when the operating system has to schedule tasks. It's not as simple as saying Intel has better single core performance especially for light weight task when each core is already balancing a load of work so even if a core is faster, if it's utilization is 40% and the AMD core is 10% because it has more cores to share the work of everything going on the system, the lightly threaded task which are the most, would run quicker most times on a 5700u than a 4 core varient.
@@Kareem-cx4fi like i said most people. I know AMD has better multicore performance. I work at bestbuy and 80% of customer I have are using it for school/office and application mostly end being chrome and office or accounting software.
@@avimakkar you are missing the point... I am not talking application level of a single app, I am talking about the operating system managing the entire system and all apps on the CPU. Chrome and all web browsers in general are HEAVILY multi threaded FYI. I write software for a living.
@@avimakkar most laptop reviewers are content creators, not computer scientist by trade. I have noticed they all use statements like single threaded tasks and put web browser in the same bracket.. They read a lot of stats and go off benchmarks but don't understand how a operating system manges programs and tasks on a CPU and end up with a lot of conclusions that are not completely correct...
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.
