When dell can make a monitor stand more upgradable than most all-in-ones.
Yup. It can rival iMac for all in one monitors.
Hi hugh jeffreys btw
My older Optiplex 9010/9020 is more upgrade-able than this, with a full desktop socket CPU. Although I'm about to max mine out with an i7 4790. With some modifications you can fit a regular desktop heat sink on it🤣I've been playing DOOM 2016 with a beast pcim external GPU dock and a Titan Black. just a fun side project I'm playing with. It's now older and dated, but wish they would make the newer ones CPU upgrade-able😕
Watch all you Videos
Hi
This is a nice find
Finally, my mom can actually call my monitor “the computer”
Me: thought it were just me.
🤣
I remember I actually had a brainfart one day and thought my monitor is my computer, for a few seconds, despite I never had any experience with all-in-ones and the actual computer was sitting right there on the table beside me, assembled from scratch by myself 🤦♂️🤦♂️
My mom calls everything Nintendo
Nah my mam calls everything a tablet

@literally ur dope why
I am sure there is a compilation out there already..stuff like
linus throwing things for 5 min straight or so
@literally ur dope so are you hoping to convert me to your religion or what
Yeah haha
This would work so well for school computer labs, assuming any schools still have those rather than just individual laptops
add in a os like porteus and you got the perfect classroom pc for kids to use
Totally agreed! It's safer and cleaner than a PC stick.
Yeah, with half the computers missing the actual computer module.
@@alexanderjohansson2671 was going to say this but you said it first.
I work in a library, we recently got these for computer labs. They work great.
Maybe if Linus reviewed this on time, Dell would've made more available to consumers.
It is available to consumers just not as widely available.
This is definitely the way that all-in-one PCs should be constructed. Would love to see Dell phase out their traditional AIO systems in favor of these modules bundled with a monitor.
As an option this is great. But traditional AIOs have much more powerful hardware with much more cooling, utilizing the entire footprint of the display, instead of just the narrow stand. So nah, Dell shouldn't phase out their traditional AIOs systems. Why do you hate options anyway?
THE SAW IS THE LAW!
Linus: "And it really does pop apart that easily"
Kind of half expected a warranty to fall out.
They sold you 4835593 against your will so that's fine

With ryzen and vega that thing will absolutely blown the market for everyone who want budget pc
exactly
Currently rocking a vega 11 on my Ryzen 2400G, it far more games at 60fps/720p/high than you would expect it to.
Imagine thinking, "I wanna upgrade this PC, it's getting slow", then popping out this tiny thing from your monitor, getting a new one and slotting it in, then that's literally it
Or even if they just made the cpu interchangeable, that way they could make more ways for money by selling different variations of motherboards
@@neo_aphotic1097 Probabbly the R&D is not worth it, it means a normal person (the target audience for this) being willing to open an electronic, deal with thermal paste and other stuff, kinda defeats the point of the design.
Also this is very much aimed towards basic usage, by the time a system like this gets so old it struggles to browse the internet and use office, the cpu socket will be beyond outdated and you will better off just getting the current modular model.
Apple: We sell the monitor and you need to buy a stand.
Dell: Well, we sell the stand and you need to buy a monitor.
A match made in heaven
@@filiprehburg still need to buy a VESA adapter for the Pro XDR monitor though so it's not totally match made in heaven.
@@dylreesYT a VESA adapter shouldn't be THAT expensive?
Apple: You buy the computer and you also need to buy the stand.
Dell: Your stand comes with a computer.
Dammit wanted to make this comment
"It gives consumers choice." that's exactly why it isn't available to consumers
Thankfully him calling them out, kind of forces their hand - or they lose business to people going, "Hmm, that's a great idea!'.
Not really this actually fail to be sold because consumers didn't ask for it most projects that would seem great for consumers often just flop.
When given the choice most consumers fail. Way of the world, common sense is now rare.
The average consumer: I don't know what monitor is the right one for my PC, so I will just buy a PC that also is a monitor.
You know, I really don't get this either from a business standpoint. Over in the corner, we have Dell's horrendous G5 5000 eating glue, and then over here, we have the 7070 Ultra which is both intelligently designed and consumer-friendly.
wat?
Making a note in my diary: "Linus says something nice about Dell!"
And then immediately calls them out for crappy business practices lol
6:32 adding the full size Display Port is actually a huge plus. From experience, adapters get easily lost and having to use proprietary cables is not only unnecessary, but also more expensive.
But you don't lose adapters when you just leave it there....
Or just get a USB-c to DP cable directly.
@@thekwoka4707 I would rather not have dongles sticking out from all our monitors all the time.
I'm so early, Dell hasn't charge me on the warranty and home tech support, yet.
What about financing?
How much will it cost tho?
@@Luckyzoes IT would be 1500 with financing

Why is dell pathetic?
@@Xfade81 gj
tbh apple monitor is the best money can buy at least
@@andremarques4063 It's not the best you can buy. I think even Linus made a video about that. It's just a fairly decent price compared to similar Pro displays.
@@Xfade81 it is calling Apple and those who buy the Apple stand pathetic
I saw this video about two months ago and I was really impressed with the concept. I was so taken with the concept/design that I even forwarded this video to my father who had an equally enthusiastic response. Just yesterday I received my new work computer and to my surprise it was an optiplex pro. I can confirm it's just as functional as it looks and I'm very impressed with the form factor and modularity. I was worried I would have to uproot my entire gaming set up in order to accommodate for my new work computer but with help of a monitor arm vesa mount I can discretely hide my new desktop behind my secondary monitor.
“We have the technology!” Yes. Yes we do.
That’s the most positive IT review I have ever seen!
Title: I am holding a PC
Linus track record for dropping stuff: Not for long
And they dedicated a section to him dropping it lol
Where is the drop counter
We need one
Or two
@@Kholanee or a whole year's worth or decade's worth.
@@friendlytexangamer9582 let's go for decades worth
I can't believe I'd never seen this form factor before. It really does look amazing!
This would be ideal for my grandfather as all he uses his PC for is emails, Word and a bit of internet browsing.
*Old Intel technology laughs in Compute Stick the size of an eraser*
@@thegreatbeavers I... Can't imagine the specs or connectivity are anywhere near the same.
Though I just looked it up, and the concept is pretty cool. If I didn't know any better, I'd say the tech is basically the same as what's under the hood of Amazon Fire Sticks and Roku stick devices.
First time in a long time I've had the urge to buy a new PC. If they had higher core CPU models I'd be very, very tempted to grab one of these and an eGPU.
I know! I didn’t know this was a thing and it’s super coolz
We recently considered these for where I work but decided to stick with the Optiplex SFF and AIO's instead. Cool concept but the price for a similarly specced AIO was lower when you factor in the price of the PC module, the stand, the screen, speakers, and webcam all of which are included in the AIO.
You know what I'd love to see? A more portable minded version of this. I hate using laptops because I hate fixed keyboard positions and want my screen to be height adjustable, as well as wanting something more modular and upgradeable. If they were able to have a small computer with a built in stand that folded, it could be a great setup for digital nomads that want more customizability in their portable setup than what a regular laptop can offer.
So you're going to carry around a computer, monitor, keyboard, mouse and stand?
I'd stick with the laptop, or get a monitor/keyboard/mouse everywhere you'd want to go and dock the laptop/NUC.
@@TheBeardedQuack If there was a portable enough solution then yes, I'd do that. That's why I'd like to see what could be possible in this area. I have a custom built mech keyboard and mouse that I take with me as it is, as I'm willing to sacrifice some weight and bulk to use the gear I like. I don't see the point in trying to source overpriced parts in countries where parts are scarce, or getting inferior parts I have to settle on using for months if I could just bring the gear I like in the first place. If I was just on holiday and need a computer then sure it would just be laptop.
Either way I just think that there should be more options out there for portable computer solutions for those that want a more complete or versatile setup than a laptop, but it's easier to travel with than SFFPC.
@@TheBeardedQuack You do know that there are a considerable number of people out there who moved between more than two places for their work?
@@tams805 I'm one of them, but I have a computer in each location. I know that's not practical for most people but there are a lot of different laptops to choose from to get a spec that helps you.
To clarify I'm not saying this is a bad idea. But if you're in a different location every day, chances are that setting up and tearing down a PC (even a lightweight and portable PC) probably gets old fast. Some of this is getting easier as slowly USB is becoming even more universal, but for now I feel the best solution is likely a laptop you're comfortable with, and a couple select peripherals to suit your workload.
Engineers at Dell: Oh shit oh shit! Now we got work to do since LTT blew it up.
Engineers are done, they did their jobs, its the Logistics sides job now haha.
When you get less fps on COD just tactical reload PC
Imagine if dell somehow made a "gaming" variant of this pc. You could really tac reload your old optiplex pc with the new "gaming" one lol
Dream laptop that can disassemble and reassemble like a rifle.
Here before comment blows up
im here b4 this guy become famous
Lmao
Never heard of or seen this! Really awesome idea! Hoping to see more of these pop up in the future!
I use these in the production plant I work at as an IT specialist. They're amazing for mass maintenance, and deployment. Also, Dell has got something called a Wyse client, which is a small computer that just receives a client machine's stream from the server, usually virtual clients. So you can have a shit-ton of clients on a server, from one place, and the Wyse's will just provide a picture. The management dashboard is great, and easy to setup and use.
Its great for various check-in throughout the plant.
Good little computers.
That's a pretty cool item, and I hear the warranty is really good too... And you're going to get the warranty whether you want it or not.
For the intended market (corporate offices) a warranty is a given, it's paid for without question, we don't even factor that into budgeting.. it's just a cost of purchase, like sales tax. We normally do 3 years and then just replace it with an equivalent new model with a new warranty, but Dell offers much longer than that if you're lazy and don't like replacing user workstations that often. Most of the Latitude/Optiplex line comes with only half their upgradeable DRAM slots filled so you can easily do a mid-life upgrade to get 5 years out of them.
@@W1ldTangent Dell should still not be encouraged. The way they treat consumers is disgusting.
do you want a warranty for your warranty?
@@W1ldTangent Maybe so, but I'm not criticizing anyone making the choice to purchase the warranty. What I am criticizing is Dell charging people for something the customer explicitly said they didn't want. You can see the difference, can't you?
When your outdated hardware is more cutting edge than my daily driver
it wasn't but I had an issue with my Ryzen so using FX chip again so it now is and it kicks my work PC to death in every respect as it's an A8. I'd love this in the office it would save so much desk space and it can't be any louder than the A8.
Everything is better than my imac mid 2007 running windows 7 with 3 gb of ram
Sadly my bulldoser died last year... luckily it was like 2 week prior to the pandemic.
@@matsv201 fortunately I have a spare FX8300 if my FX8350 dies and my R5
3600 isn't dead it just won't install windows and I don't know why.
@@ZedDevStuff asian people with pentium E25000.. : HOLD MY BEER!!
It's amazing. A perfect PC for spreadsheets and E-Mail. Even for programming too.
That's a neat form factor idea, since you won't be stuck with a particular given display, and you can use a pre-existing display if you want to switch to this. (The ease of access to internals is also a massive plus.)

Just wait until he improves so he doesn't even need to touch it.
No LTT video is complete without Linus nearly destroying something expensive. 😬
Yes indeed
This dude is everywhere
The NUC with a VESA mount is a wonderful solution, I helped someone put one together a few years ago as a present for their wife. Extremely clean setup and I could guide them on which components to buy and how to install easily. Amazing product. Not sure this is necessary when that exists and is most likely higher performance.
This would be awesome for reception's desks....I will probably verify with the company I work in if they can get this as a standard ;) Thanks Linus!
"...because if you don't, someone else will...especially since we made a video about it."
Linus knowing his social value.
Dell: That's why we want you to review the damn thing so we can market it to consumer, but you lost it in your warehous....
I imagine these would be really great to tinker with and use for home computing projects if you can score them second-hand a few years down the line
“You can’t drop things you cannot see!!”
Linus: Are you challenging me?
Linus: Hold my stand!
Who tf said that
TBH, this actually is a good concept, specially when that thunderbolt comes to the picture !
Slap a mid-tier GPU in it and it is a perfectly decent gaming rig. Nothing to boast about but it'll get you by with common games. And it should totally roast some emulation too so... honestly, I'd love this.
This is perfect for basically any office, college, library setting. Really neat
"Especially now that we've made a video about it." Loving the clout flex. It's true though, the high opinions of this thing in the video could very well drive a bunch of new customers to these that otherwise never would have known about it. I believe Dell probably already has it's own consumer iMac competitor in the works, and launching these to the business segment is a way to get the design perfected and tooling paid for with the higher prices business customers are willing to pay.
Where does Linus even find these computers?
He must keep a sharp eye on the market looking at anything new coming out.
He doesn’t really tho, maybe once in a while but most of these are either sent as a review unit to him to make a video on it, or paid sponsorships, or viewers and fans found something unique and recommended him to check it out
@@STORMFIRE07 yeah that makes more sense

Dell: "Let's make something with an incredibly small footprint that puts Apple to shame for its affordability and ease of repair... and then neglect to bring it to the consumer market."
Seriously, what the fuck are you doing Dell.
Wow, I wish I knew about these. I just bought a bunch of NUCs for work, and this is super cool.
Um, yeah, why is this not a mainstream thing? Dell needs to think a bigger market space for this idea. Heck, with the external GPU, this is actually a good argument for even some gaming rigs, and more mobile ones at that.
When my Mum's computer died last year I bought one of these for her, happened to be almost half price at the time too. It has been great and is definitely a clean looking setup!
Plot twist: they didn't bring it to the market earlier because they thought Linus didn't do a video on it because it was too lame
I thought the same too lol
Not that far off, considering Linus has called out Dell in the past
What do you mean? Pretty sure my store was selling them...
Oh... The plot thickens...
@@JordannEdwards I wish he wouldn't sound so much like a marketing shill for them though - he's ignoring everything Dell has done with their business line laptops/pro systems in the past 2 years - since the 8th gen ones, you can no longer upgrade your CPU, RAM, even the WiFi cards are now soldered to the motherboards. I wouldn't trust them NOT to have done the exact same thing in this line. Until he (or someone) compares it with the current, 11th gen model, I absolutely DO NOT TRUST DELL on this one.
Typed on my XPS13. (*grumble*)
Edit: Even the SSD mounting area is non-standard, along with the retention clip. Want to install a different SSD? Get your dremel out... (not joking)
We have a few of these in our laboratories in work where desk space is limited. very clean setup, especially with a wireless keyboard and mouse.
Just got one of these at work to setup for an engineer. Was super a easy to setup.
This DELL seems so much different than the one Steve from GM had his hands on recently.
Dell has some excellent engineers there. Considering some of their XPS laptops are some of the best out there, and that obviously had a laptop cooler on it, I'd bet they got one of their good engineers on it XD
But Linus is telling that in VIDEO!
"Please Dell Bring this to your consumers too!"
This one Dell is for retail. For managers buying computers into their company.
That one Dell Steve bought is meant for consumers.
LTT ran into problems with Dell too during the mystery shopper series. You have to carefully look at your invoice/receipt after ordering from Dell to make sure they didn't scam you.
Business division: a bit less bullshit.
The difference between Dell's business grade and consumer grade hardware is stagerring
"August 2019" "almost 2 years ago"
Damn that hurt
Dang, it would be cool if case manufacturers started making "monitor stand" form factors. Such a good idea.
That's a fantastic solution for a secondary PC for streaming/media/game server so you don't have to have a separate box and you can just switch input real quick if you need to use the screen.
Honestly, I hope Dell made this for the sole purpose of mocking the Apple screen mount
*duct tapes raspberry pi to monitor stand* there!
@@leonidas14775 could just blu-tac it to the back of the monitor. Calibrate it so that when it overheats it falls off and yanks out the power lead ;P
Yeah, they specifically made a monitor stand with a tiny cheap computer inside that is supposed to be paired with a cheap monitor, *just* to mock Apple’s 1000$ stand, that is supposed to be pared with a 6000$ monitor and 5000 to 55000$ computer…
@@--2 except dell makes professional monitors like the UP3221Q that perform better than Apple's displays while having self-calibration on board and four times the dimming zones of Apple's pro XDR at $2K cheaper.
@@mahir7h, And is this stand that includes a cheap small computer, made for a 4000$ display? No! And ok you mention 2k cheaper, which means that you are talking about the more expensive model that includes the nano textures glass. So the XDR display goes up to 1600 nits of brightnes, while the dell only 1000, it’s 6k, not 4k like the dell, it supports Dolby Vision, it has smaller besels, one of the best viewing angles and it has like I mentioned before the nano texture glass. It also has all the other features that the dell has. Like HDR10, 10 bit color, 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio etc. etc.
But my question here is: can I install graphic board and CPU water cooling system on that?
Yes you can.
@@voltare2amstereo If laptops can cool gpus so well with warm batteries in their chassis, making a long PCB to include a GPU and some cooling probably isnt that hard for them. Could really be a great product especially if they somehow made the gpu modular but thats just a wet dream I guess..
I was like, that name looks super familiar, sounds like a piano channel name but this is a tech channel.....Holy smokes it's him!
Considering someone did water-cooling a Lattepanda which is smaller than this and installing GPU with PCIe to M.2 converter is quite simple, it is possible (but won't be easy with quite a bunch of alterations/modifications)
No
You could make a water cooling loop with shut off valves to close the loop and act as the clips you line up to snap the pc container into place to connect the loop again and mechanically unblock flow so you can easily protect the line from leaking water or pressure. You dont need a reservoir in that tiny space either so long as the line was pressure filled to a fraction of 1 psi so all you would need in the pc case is a cheap turbine engine using miniscule power instead of a pump, the cpu heatsink, and the water line to connect it all. The stand could be hollowed out with a fan on each end flowing bottom to top. You could feed the loop into a series of aluminum fins like you see on good cpu coolers but hollow and water flowing through the flat fin creating a whole lot more surface area so more water molecules are im contact with the aluminum than in a cylindrical line. You could even possibly use lots and lots of the smallest lines possible before cappilary action occurs and orient them in a lattice and basically design the loop through the wind tunnel as series after series after series of thick strand mesh stacked ontop of one another utilizing as much volume of the wind tunnel as possible and by making the line as small as physics will allow water to still flow through your forcing the most possible watet molecules to directly contact the aluminum dissipating alot more heat from the water and the mesh like design layout of the loop would siphon away the heat right out the top. Then and right out the top of the stand. If that radiator methodolgy proved effective then you could even then consider a waterblock enclosure for just like they make currently for GPUs but make its slightly bigger to make it an eGPU and connect it to the loop as well. so it could be the size of a single slot card by width with no use for airflow to the gpu. Certianly small enough to contemplate methodology to mount it somewhere on the stand with the power, data and water loop connections in the mount so it all connects automatically upon snapping it into the mount just like the other one.you may even be able to connect the egpu to the pc package via pcie lanes if you can connect the extender wires through the chassis of the stand to both data plugins into the enclosures when clipped in their mounts.
I just installed a dozen of those in a vet practice. We'll see how they do. They are mounted with the VESA mount so we can use them on wall mounts.
SOLD, I'm buying my parents one now!
Edit: Linus is a marketing powerhouse, he literally is gonna be responsible for Dell selling a few thousand of these.

A few thousand more "warranties", you mean.
Unless you're a business buying business parts, I would either stay away from Dell, or buy refurbed Dell business machines.
@@arahman56 You do know those warranties are optional, right? You don't have to pay for them. Also, I don't know how it is elsewhere but, there is already a 1 year manufacturers limited warranty on most electronic products you buy in America. Buying protection programs & extended warranties are scams.
@@BraddahSpliff I wouldn't call them scams, I've saved two monitors and a few other electronics going the Squaretrade route, for an extra 3-4 years of protection.

LDT ?
Hope not.
This is pretty cool. Would like to see a video with a few gaming benchmarks on a modern version with external GPU.
We got a few of these at my old job for some kiosks for trade shows. Right before the pandemic. They haven't been used for a while.
My soul literally left my body when that monitor ate the desk 👻
I came expecting a drop test. wasn't disappointed!
Years ago we we were amazed by quickswap drives. just think that you could take a whole all PC the size a bit bigger than your phone with you as a quickswap device. how sick!
The fact that there was no segue for the sponsor in the intro shook me to my core.

Underrated comment.
While the joke is funny, the business line isn't really pulling that kind of shit. Then again corporations tend to get the extended warranties and they do pay off.
@@RinnosukeETQW Did you not watch the pre-build competition where Dell charged LTT for thing's they specifically said they didn't want 5 times in a row?
Or the recent Gamers Nexus video where they were charged for extras without their knowledge?
Stay the hell away from Dell and their shady practices.
I kinda doubt it because they treat their business customers nicely compared to their private.
@@ALifeOfWine yes, we DID see that, but was secretly purchased consumer products, and NOT as a business.
They treat their private customers like shit, and their business customers like gold.
Imagine that they made it a standard? Some kind of computer module that fits in monitor stands from various companies. Could even make special computer module bays, slotting these into a rack set-up that sits on a desk, with all the computers in one place.
Heck, make three sizes. The one shown, a slightly thicker one for performance CPUs, and another for full desktop style CPUs and RAM upgrades.
Dell's consumer products and business solutions are basically separate companies that shares logo and part of distribution line. As far as I know (may not be true) - motherboards and components for Latitude and Vostro are made by Intel and Compal, and they are assembled by Dell itself in Ireland and Brasil, and (most) Inspirons are manufactured in China and Taiwan by subvendors and only supervised.

The gall of that statement lmao. Linus didn't even know he had the damn product until an inventory audit, AND THEN makes a video on it, and then flexes that someone else will make a similar product now that he made a video.
No hate but imagine that level of success
@@superrswalkthrougn tech channels know they have an influence. Gamers Nexus actually sees their feedback taken into account in some products like PC cases.
"because if you don't, someone else will... especially now that we've made a video about it"
Ah yes, blackmail at its finest
lol
It's actually for a good purpose, sooo.. whitemail?

@@Rainaman- I recognize that you wanted to make a joke of some sort.

The perfect streaming pc for a minimalist desk setup. People couldn’t even tell.
One of my workplaces deployed a heap of these recently. They're a damned impressive.
8:16 "If you don't, somebody will" - FlyingKitty
True
true, someone will use this idea, if this is before year 2000's where people hungry on tech like steve jobs and bill gates, this already copied. but right now only china can steal someones idea
Are you sure it is not protected by some nasty patents?
I never knew that Anthony used to own BoomIT. I grew up just around the corner of the store and was going to buy my first gaming pc from them. That’s really cool!
Actually, Anthony was employee #003. (I don't think he'd mind us saying)
Great guy who has continued to develop his amazing knowledge of the industry.
Props as always to Linus, Anthony and crew from Newfoundland :)
I've deployed these at work. They're actually pretty nice for office workers. People have regained shelves back where their old Optiplex towers used to sit.
as for all in ones, they can make more with the joined versions
This is something that i can actually see myself buying to be used as a family pc.
Even though this is sort of "old" tech now given the review this seems to be 1 of the better produced products by Dell. It's impressive for someone(s) that's got uses for it.
Its only this version that's old. There is a newer version that's got current hardware :)
Interesting concept. I would love to see a gaming test video with the Optiplex 7090 and a Thunderbolt 4 eGPU
Its so refreshing to see a video where I don't get jealous over PC builds.... Thanks Linus!
It's such a great concept! It's perfect for an office
Suggestion: Best to always hide an employee behind the table whenever Linus is handling anything.
I used to be an IT guy for a company that has 3 floors of callers. This is very ideal for those users bc they have small desk spaces, they only use casual and basic applications, nothing serious. Plus they rotate every month so they don't ever take the computer or monitors. Its very simple.
I would think the best part would be if one failed for whatever reason, getting them back up and running would be a breeze assuming a few spares were available.
Right? I’ll take this over a micro from-factor Optiplex any day.
For 3 years leasing, yea, this modular AIO is good. But long term purchase, no then. This AIO only supports M.2 2230 form factor. Pain in the butt to find good replacements. Most M.2 drives with DRAM are in 2280 form factor.
@@fleurdewin7958 True, though if I'm buying Dell and don't have a replacement plan I have bigger issues lol.
Dude that first segway was pretty good. I didn't realize he went into a sponsor segment until a few seconds in lol. He's getting better, faster, stronger!
That’s actually pretty cool! And thunderbolt 4 actually adds some serious power to it. That would be a super neat gaming set up.
“I dropped a whole pc that I could carry in one hand”
This is one of the coolest pieces of tech I've ever seen, well done Dell and Linus!
I deployed Intel NUCs in the past for small footprint setups. I saw these and decided to give the 7070 Ultra and decided to give it a shot. Super happy with them so far.
I have that same monitor stand and even without the comp in it , it's an excellent product tbh
I've deployed over a dozen of these 7070 Ultras in my place of employment. Work well but touch monitors we've had 2 just go on us but warranty replaced.
My company got a few of these last year for our support team and I was AMAZED at how easy they were to work with.
thats actually sick if i had the need for a simple browsing machine, id want one so bad.
Man that non intentional segue in the beginning blew my mind
That was a smooth ass add Transition
This thing is such a good idea, how'd it take so long and how did Dell of all companies end up being the one to do it?
It didnt take long? It is released in 2019 lol
"Especially when now we have done sa video about it"
Woah, that's lots of confidence 😏
6:58 I second this opinion. It's surprisingly hard to find ultracompact PCs for home use - they all seem to be for businesses only. Such PCs would be perfect as a low-cost web browsing computer for non-tech savvy people, and I would love to buy one for my parents.
my uni has dell AIO computers everywhere, in the last year or so, they replaced all of them with a newer version of the exact same computer,
only visible difference on the outside is one of the USBA ports was replaced with a USB C port.
that would be the ideal use for this computer, the IT team can go through and remove all the old modules, drop in the new ones, instant upgrade without wasting all the other parts
I almost got a heart attack when he dropped the whole monitor....
To be frank. I'm disappointed. That drop was a fake accident.... Were they promoting their desk mat's protection ? Linus simply forgot to plus a lttstore segway !
Yeah I honestly thought they either expected it to happen or tried to make it happen. Still funny though! We know Linus would absolutely do this on accident and not hide it so 😑
He's dropped far more expensive products
@@Frizzy9000 i know it was faked, I too have been watching this for years.
