The thermals are bad and also the quality of the fan. I am using the previous model and also an Latitude 5440. When comparing both the Latitude is a far better build. Better pastics, better fan, near silent and better thermals.
I have the 16 version of this laptop with the Ryzen 7 8840u, but I'm running Linux on it. It runs cool and quiet, the fans rarely kick in, and I'm getting around 8 hours of light/medium use on it. When I first purchased this laptop, I did go through the Windows setup, and I did notice the fans turning on (and staying on) quite a bit. This does not happen in Linux when doing light tasks (browsing, terminal, some RUclips etc...).
Hey brother, As a college student, can this laptop fulfill the tasks like virtualization, OpenGL projects and cloud computing if i buy the configurations like: intel i5 13th gen 1334u intel iris xe graphics 16 GB DDR5 512 GB SSD Please reply. Thanks!
Don’t buy the XPS 14, it is highly pixelated. You would prefer using it as a heater with a super tech function. It is CRAZILY priced for what it offers. I’d recommend the Spectre 14 X360 or the Yoga 9i 14 X360 equipped with the specs you prefer. These laptops pack a bigger punch for their prices.
Does anyone knows if DisplayPort supports 4k output? On Dell´s website there is an information that HDMI only supports 1920x1080, even if the model has NVIDIA grafics card. :(
Hey I´m struggling to decide between the newer Inspirion and the older model in terms of battery life. Maybe any advice? I know that both are using the I5 1335u, but the newer model has a 3 Cells battery instead of the older 4 Cells. A sales assistant from DELL told me that the older model had some problems with optimization, which i find it quite BS because they use the same processor. I also need to mention that the newer model has a 1TB SSD and 16 GB of memory DDR5 instead of the older model that has only 512GB SSD and 8GB of LPDDR5 RAM.
is the dell inspriation 5430 good cause I am looking for a laptop under 650 cad, I don't know what else I can buy, Just to let you know it for school work and light gaming.
I tested the Inspiron 5445 with the basic display (which isn't as bad as 250 Nits sounds) and the low power AMD 8540U CPU thermal management has the same issue: at only 50°C CPU temperature (nearly idle) the fan already starts running with much too high RPMs and is very loud. There is no fan management software available - I thought that's an AMD model issue - but it seems that also the Intel models are affected. The fan noise just drives me crazy so sadly I had to return it. Seems that no one at Dell uses their own products an Dell is forgetting about the basics which would just be a BIOS-Update/Software/Driver to handle the fan behavior correctly...
@@yassine6934 I highly recommend the Inspiron 5445 for web surfing and office work, but only in environments where the fan noise doesn't matter - the performance and build quality is very good. The matte display is also usable outside, but not for photo processing since it's business standard, but that's very good for your eyes when using it for hours.
Nice Video! I am glad that it is upgradeable but not worth it ya know, competition is better. Anyway, my Envy 16 is quite upgradeable according to your Envy 16 review a few months ago : )))
As of last week the issue still persist. Unfortunately the fan issue has been not resolved in the past 3 generations, I can’t say if it will be resolved by Dell anytime soon.
Steady decline? It's been that way for the last 14 years with the Dell Inspiron line of laptops. Just avoid. People are better off with refurbished Latitude line laptops for casual use, or low end Alienware for gaming.
Pls do not buy Dell everyone, it is declining. It doesn't innovate superb laptops anymore. Better buy Acer for budget or Asus Zenbook or Lenovo Yoga etc. Just not Dell...
Agreed. 👍👍 Dell laptops these days are lackluster at best. You can find literally a dozen better alternatives for the same prices. Go with Huawei, Acer, Asus….even the cheapest HP models are better.
@@LucienSabre Absolutely, but regarding Huawei, I wouldn't recommend it for security reasons. Instead of the XPS, I purchased the HP Envy 16, such a banger at only around 1300 dollars (I am talking about an amazing display, i7 13700H, 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD, etc.) THE XPS IS A LOSER WITH A HIGHER PRICE LOL
Hey everyone, thanks for watching. A reminder that product and wallpaper links can be found in the video description :)
Your wallpapers are awesome. Thanks for sharing
hey, got any plans for an Inspiron 16 Plus review? there are almost none out there
I don’t see it as ice blue, is it greyish tone too? Or am I just colour blind

@SoulOfTech is there any update/information on the fan noise?

i feel like dell is one of the remaining companies with upgradeability

I hope you review Dell’s XPS 14 (2024).

The 2023 model has front facing speakers and USB-C charger so that's a huge miss for this new model.
Still works with USB charger. Especially if you have the 2023 one
thanks for the review and just curious would you review acer aspire vero. they have good specs but the body feels questionable.
Hey there thanks for watching. I have not reviewed the Acer Vero so I cannot comment on that one, sorry :(
can someone please tell me if the ram is upgradable i have 14- 5445 8540u

why's no one reviewing the Asus Chromebook c523
lol, all them stickers… you still have to take the UPC code off the shirt as as well to. That’s the comment hey mailed me giggle.

do a review on hp pavilion 14 plus 14t-ew100
Hitting us with the Inspiron Review again Lets goo! Are you gonna do one with the new snapdragon chipsets?
Elite X and plus reviews coming this summer :)
is that fan issue fixed ? im buying this tomorrow
As of last week the issue still persist. Unfortunately the fan issue has been not resolved in the past 3 generations, I can’t say if it will be resolved by Dell anytime soon.
can you change the fan setting somehow?

What kind of issues do you see? Looking at a 2022 Inspiron 14 2-1 on eBay.
@mmp64 Primarily, bad quality build on a large volume of Inspiron laptops. Nice specs, but they mean nothing if they break easily.
top review, keep up the good work
Glad you liked it

Yeah, I totally agree. But I'd just take Asus off the list. Their RMA process is a nightmare.

Quick FYI, You put Insrpiron instead of Inspiron in the Thumbnail
It is “thumbnail” bro, just a quick FYI.
Thanks for letting me know I’ll have that corrected!
