hey we got the brand new dell inspron 14 7000 two in one they make an intel they make an amd
the box tells you it's amd we're going to crack it open we're going to take a look
this came directly from dell dell labs so it may boot directly into the operating system in
a manner different than what you're used to but what we're interested in is this amd based laptop
what i wouldn't trend i have noticed lately in a lot of laptops from big oems like dell is you get
the same laptop body with the choice of amd or intel either 11th gen tiger lake or in this case
ryzen 5000 first oh look nice you get a usbc connector bricks not too bad fairly light 65
watts power cord for it mickey mouse connector all cardboard packaging which is very nice
it is in mist blue that's the color here i believe it weighs about 3.1 3.2 pounds
it is a two in one as we said so it is convertible
metal body probably aluminum but let's let's make sure it's a two in one yep try to do this on your
macbook you can't m1 or not actually go ahead and try it but you can't this of course two-in-one
it's got this pretty clever hinge now you don't generally see this in two-in-ones this hinge helps
lift the laptop up off the surface that way you're not blocking the vents if you block these vents
how's that cpu going to cool itself so this hinge is kind of nice because you lift it up
when you're using it in laptop mode it's going to give you a little bit of space backlit keyboard
power button with built-in fingerprint reader
and inside of this one is a ryzen 7 5700u that's an eight core ryzen uh part 5000 zen three uh
of course radeon graphics integrated is a 14 inch panel 16x9 1920 by 1080 resolution wva
got pretty decent the wva's really come along
pretty good decent off access doesn't get super bright but that's fine inside this
particular model ryzen 7 8 core as i said 16 gigs of lpddr4 i believe a 512 gig ssd
let's go over the ports and of course you've got your radeon and ryzen stickers very nice
usb type a is it high speed yes it is so this is a usb gen 3.2 5 gig probably you have an sd
card reader you have an analog audio jack other side hdmi 1.4 i believe another usb a which is
very nice i don't know why they always tell us oh well you can't fit these into thin laptops
this is a very thin laptop with two type a's on it and of course we get usbc i believe that is a
five gig version so there's no thunderbolt because uh amd it does also do display port so
you can run displayport and hdmi out of this and also of course that's your charging charging led
bottom of it we're actually going to crank it up do a couple benchmarks this is not a review this
is not a review we're basically going to run a couple tests just to give you a taste for how this
laptop performs i can tell you 8 core ryzen 7 is pretty awesome in multi-core performance i expect
the same thing so come back in a second hey so we're back i just ran a few quick tests once again
this is not a review this is not a review this is just simply to give you a taste of what this ryzen
7 5700u will do in this dell inspiron uh first thing is cinebench max on cinebench it is uh this
is the r20 version it is basically a 3d modeling benchmark very popular default of course is to run
all cores which is what you want to do if you're buying an 8 core laptop like this in spron
performance here is is pretty good it's basically right there within a zeus zenbook with a ryzen 7
5800u this is a ryzen 7 5700u so this is uh 33 0 versus 33.93 slightly slower
it's 100 slower right and of course the you can see the performance advantage ryzen has
in small laptops like this over intel's best 11th gen tiger lake u-parts um it's definitely got an
advantage over those tiger leg use which only have four cores and not eight cores but a lot
of people also run single threaded performance which sort of tells you uh how you're gonna run
office or maybe photoshop or even some browsing there's a lot of things that only use one or two
cores so eight cores don't really help you so we also run cinebench r20 using a single thread
now we see it flipped a little bit intel's very best 11th gen core i7 1185 and 1180
1195 g7 it's actually a little bit faster than the best ryzens and we also see more of a gap open up
that ryzen 750 800u has a nice little advantage over the ryzen 7 5700u in this inspirom but you
know it's not a huge difference but definitely intel has a nice lead here we also do look at
graphics performance for that we use 3d mark time spy i'm only showing the gpu performance
it basically ignores how fast the cpu is so it's really a gauge of just the graphics intel has been
doing really well here and they still do the iris xc is no joke the g7 graphics in
its small laptop cpu are generally better than than radeon is what i'm seeing and you see that
here again ryzen 7 5700u not bad a little bit slower than a 5800 u but uh g7 in the iris xc
is definitely ahead of the curve here one thing i didn't mention earlier is the battery in this it's
about 54 watt hours dell claims that'll give you about 12 hours 22 minutes which is pretty
pretty damn good that's longer than a day right in this using mobile mark 18 which is a little harder
than the previous mobile mark that people used to use that would say this thing is 20 hours so that
12 hours 22 minutes is probably pretty accurate if you're just gonna sit there maybe do a little
bit of browsing some some work okay let's close off by talking about configuration and pricing
uh price of this unit as configured is 999. i'm going to rattle off the configuration once more
ryzen 7 5700u windows 10 home 16 gigs i said it earlier was lp ddr4x it's actually ddr4 which is
lower cost makes sense for this price point 512 gig ssd for 999 that's a 1080p panel um
wi-fi six very nice let's look at what other the options that dell is offering
uh on dell's website right now you can also say like you know what i don't want amd i want to
do intel you can get the same laptop with a tiger lake in there as well cost you a little bit more
a core i7 1165 g7 which is third from the top it is still a very good cpu you get the really good
graphics same amount of memory actually less memory sorry 12 gigs little odd 512 gig ssd
windows 10 home for 50 bucks more so you want to go with intel name and badge you're going to pay
a little more to get a little less there's also two other configurations that are lower in price
ryzen 5 5500u you cut the memory in half to 8 gigs
cut the ssd down to 256 gigs for eight hundred dollars not bad i'd say the only real limitation
there is that ssd a lot of people can get buy and eight gigs it's perfectly fine for what
most people do but uh 256 gigs if you're really a photo or a hoarder a data hoarder a little bit
of a problem all of them use m.2 so you could upgrade it later on but i know most people are
unwilling to open up their laptops there's also an intel option 11th gen core i5 11 35 g7 850
eight gigs of ram 256 gig so basically your choice there is pay 50 bucks more for intel
or do ryzen that's a six core on that ryzen 5 and that is a quad core on that i5 as well so i'd say
it's a little closer in performance between both of those and that price and also the
the ram is the is the same so probably a better comparison down at that that 5 series at 7 series
i would probably go with the ryzen for the ram 12 gig sounds kind of weird i'm not sure why it's not
16 gigs both of them are actually excellent cpus tiger lake i would say is probably better for
burst c performance if you can do a lot of browsing a lot of word a lot of photoshop you
generally are going to do a little bit better a little snappier with that intel part for the ryzen
still very good though um but a little less snappy and also of course when you're running
on battery generally amd tends to run things very conservatively and give you better battery life
a little less performance snap but pretty nice laptops again all metal construction
dell inspiron 14 7000 two in one uh intel or amd pick your poison this one's pretty nice though
