[@jkwanness]

great review and very informative!! love that you puy your personal thoughts in the end... im torn between this and xps13... in my country this is cheaper, but somehow dell in my country doesnt allow any personalization.. weird.. thanks for the review!

[@hamzazighighi1565]

Thank you so much my friend, i hope you get enjoyed with it

[@vash47]

very detailed review my dude, well done. I might grab this for 200eur and pop linux into it

[@mockingspongebob773]

you can buy it for around 300 now 😁 thats the whole point of business laptop. Let corporations overpay for medicore but build to last products so you can buy it for cheap used or refurbished 👌

[@Ismael-jh7bx]

where can I get it in that price ?

[@castle_novelist]

Let corporations overpay? But will it last?

[@castle_novelist]

HP Spectre from 2016 is still massively expensive though this laptop is cheap

[@ThinkForward0]

300 used?

[@galihAX]

got one for around 4.7m IDR which is around 327 USD, i5,8gigs,512ssd,1080p IPS

[@xxcusme]

great & informative review, thank you

[@BryanzHAn03]

I think the screws are designed to stay with the bottom case. I have a Dell Latitude 7480 and the screws stay with the case so you don't lose them.

[@mikegord]

Why is it that reviewers of PC criticise PC's that need two hands to open them. To me that says they have a STRONG durable hing assembly.

[@marcmiyamoto]

Michael Gordon there is a technology that makes the hinge loose at the start but firmer later on tech reviewers Want pc makers to incorporate the new but more expensive technology. Hope this helps!

[@xxcusme]

this is due to macbook arguably being the reference of good design of a laptop, where we can open the lid of a macbook with one hand. the thing is most laptop PC has battery located at the back area, making it uneven in weight distribution.

[@zhangliaobgsp]

May I ask you about the screen? You mentioned in the video that you've seen better 1080p matt display, can you name some? Thank you!

[@stempo1]

Those are captured screws, They unscrew and stay with the back plate when it is removed, Its a great idea and works well you don't need to remove them

[@joecan]

yes captive screws. surprised viewer has never encountered this before.

I found one used for 150$ with 16gbs of ram and was wondering if it can game at all

[@danyal22]

it was like £1,200 GBP back when it came out in the uk

[@sammo7730]

Just bought a used one after first getting acquainted with this laptop at work. They had me using it while they repaired a laptop with a larger touch screen but I kept the 7470 even after it was repaired because I liked it so much. Plus, it has a menu button! Why are they phasing these out?! I didn't realize how much I used that menu button until I bought a laptop without one. You need to use it in conjunction with the Function key but I'll take that over no Menu button at all. A few things I would change about this Dell (and hopefully they did make these changes with the newer models): 1. put the connections (USB ports, power cord port) on the side! Nobody wants to reach around to the back of the laptop just to connect something. 2. I would like a separate number keypad. No good reason, I just would. 3. What is the point of placing any light indicators off to the side? Put them on top. I want one for my Caps Lock (which this has and it's on top!), the power indicator, and every other lighted indicator. There is one to indicate when the microphone is on, apparently. I love that it has separate keys for Page Up/Down. I love the lit keyboard and I love even more that you have the option of turning the lit keyboard off! Options are awesome. Also, I don't know if this was emphasized enough in the video, but this is a pretty small laptop. Works for me but something to keep in mind. I know this a comment on a pretty old laptop but good models deserve a long life.

[@glysander6211]

thanks! im thinking of getting this used! hows the screen and battery life and performance?

[@gate9595]

Hello, I have the same laptop as yours. However, since I got the laptop from a store, the bios happened to be locked and I tried removing both the battery and cmos battery and let the laptop spend about 6-7 hours, but nothing happened after I put everything together. BIOS is still locked. Thanks for any suggestion.

[@Babblingboolean]

Call Dell, only their tech agents can unlock it but they might need proof of purchase. Sounds like someone already used your laptop and it isn't brand new.

[@gate9595]

I actually managed to unlock it. Thanks for your time though. keep it up with good work.

[@G4luc]

Gate 95 how did you unlock it ? I'm in a same situation

Great review. That $500 NZD isn't too bad then if it was $3000 new.

[@mitunkavali6112]

hi there, How could i use sim card ??

[@greektownchicago]

Question - seems dumb but how do you plug the charger in? The port seems almost completely blocked. it certainly won't allow the plug inside. Both my plug and port look just like yours do in the video so I don't think it's broken. The charger is pretty much exactly the same diameter as that cylinder already inside the port. What's going on?

[@Babblingboolean]

Not sure, call dell support.

[@RamenBlox]

YOU PAID 3k FOR THIS???? I paid like 300-400 for mine at a random store and it has touch screen and i7 core.... And the laptop doesnt even run top 2020 games well without putting the resolution on low... Crazy how price can decrease over time.

[@carldrogo9492]

That's because it was overpriced junk to begin with.

On an ultra book like this, no. It's also not worth it, this won't run games that well. Even if you have the i7 processor, it's still an Intel U series processor which isn't designed for gaming.

I don't remember but I think this computer came in 720p and 1080p options? You'll have to google search and confirm but if that's the case then you got the 720p version.

Wait what?? SIM card tray?? On a laptop?? Damn. I’m in 2002😢

[@sterlingmiles1948]

soo I work at Dell and I sell this laptop as well as all things Dell, I just want to clarify some things. What makes this more expensive is the fact that its commercial grade. It is build to last, it is tested thoroughly for durability. Also when Dell sells this direct to businesses it is sold with heavy discounts. Warranty is optional from 1year basic to 5 year pro support. Decent review but the primary expense and purpose of this computer was missed completely. If you want a powerful Dell laptop for personal use buy the XPS for around $1,500, that is what is made for.

[@Danny-sj6es]

sterling miles dell xps doesnt come in full black :c

[@dexterbentley6336]

I still use a Dell Latitude E6320 (Core i7, 4gb RAM) that my company assigned me a few years ago and it still works great. I'm not sure exactly how much it cost the company when they purchased it, but when you factor in how long it lasts, the cost is worth it.

Quite a poor review. Two examples: you gave only subjective impressions of the screen, rather than quantitative data. You also described the conditions under which you tested the battery, but didn't say to what brightness you set the screen. I think your production values are good, which makes the video nice to watch. But the review itself is shallow.

Worst audio recording quality EVER. I wasn't surprised when the "universal" combo mic/headphone jack was terrible for recording, but I thought at least USB mics would be OK, or if not, then XLR mics with a USB interface. No!!! If anything they are even worse than the "universal" jack. Every recording is ruined by internal noise -- roaring and hissing. And if I use Camtasia to record the screen, everything drags to a standstill. This one doesn't have the top specs, but with Core i5 and 8 Gigs of RAM I expect way, way better. I can't say the thing is good for nothing, and I "get" that it's for business -- but my job does include recording some trainings for customers, so, again: If you need to record sound, at all, even occasionally -- stay far, FAR away from this thing!!!

You would be even more disappointed if you tried to use it for any extended period. I haven't extensively used a Lenovo, but I did play with an X1 Carbon and T460s for a while, and their build quality and keyboard were in a totally different universe. Assuming their reliability and support is also better (and it can't possibly be worse than "none"), they must be a much better choice.

[@ziwkovic6141]

R you saying that t460s is a lot better device than this one. I am asking because I am trying to decide between the two. dell's has better battery life and reviews say it's running cooler and quieter. I can get it a lot cheaper than r460s
