Lisa, you've been my go-to tech review channel for around five years now. Your depth of knowledge and straightforward style make your videos very enjoyable. I also appreciate how you change things up, meaning no two videos are alike. Your passion for technology really shines through. Thank you for being awesome!

Looking to buy a used one of these off eBay and I knew nothing about them... This is what I call a legit review. Thanks. 😀

I was really thrown off that someone who looks like my grandma was giving me tech reviews. Still good review. Thank you

DELL already destroyed the Macbook Pro 15 with the DELL XPS 15.... Now they are after the Surface Line??? Wow!!!... Talk about aspirations...

I've been watching your reviews for a bit and didn't realize I wasn't subscribed. I think your reviews are excellent and the best on the Web!!! Keep up the great work!

Would love to see your review of the GPD pocket!

Another excellent review, viewing 6 years later

It's one of the very few tablets that can be taken apart with a screwdriver (NotebookCheck has some nice photos of disassembly if anyone's interested). Sure, you don't get as nice of a screen as with consumer tablets, but you get robustness, quality control, repairability and technical support. My Latitude E6530 at work is going strong after 5 years with zero repairs, and my Precision M4500 is like new after 6 years of rough use with some repair (replaced backlit KB and IO board) and upgrades (SSD and RAM). You don't have to be a business user to appreciate these things... I wish more consumers cared about them when shopping for electronics, then we would see less throwaway glued designs and would't have to choose between business products with unnecessary features and consumer products that break 1 month after 1-year warranty period is over.

Best reviewer in the biz...crossing my fingers you get your hands on that monster 21 inch curved $9000 gaming laptop

I'd rather buy the MS surface pro.

Thank you for your review, it was very helpful! Also, I love your t-shirt! ^^

I got Surface book 512 GB SSD,16 GB ram with performance base Bought it used (for 400 CAD, made an amazing deal) and I have dell latitude 5285, 256 GB,16 GB RAM and I Bought used one for 900 bucks. I like the Surface book except the larger battery is in the base.

I like your reviews a lot, because they are hands in the hardware.

Always Love to here your reviews... Thanks for another great upload

@mobiletechreview Hey Lisa, can you make a video of the Lenovo Miix 720 and maybe talk a bit (more indepth) about writing and palm rejection?

The palm rejection problem you're having is probably due to the Pen setting in Windows 10 called "Ignore touch input when I'm using my pen", that's probably turned off.

The force is strong with this one.

Thank you for always making awesome and genuine videos. You are a go to when coming to buying a new laptop. -Chris

See those screws around the edges at 7:45 to hold the kickstand underside back plate? I think this is more kind to extended life serviceability if one needs to get to the battery and solid state drive. It may not look pretty, but how often is someone passing by going to look UNDER my kickstand to chase these screws? Better yet, how often am I going to look underneath the kickstand? Handling the screws would be like handling delicate eyeglasses hinge screws. Not much force needed to torque.

Heya Lisa, wondering if you'll be working on a review for the new 5290 2-in-1? :D

Great review. Bought it used for my mom - she doesn't do much with it, but is used to Windows and her Iconia W700, but that one is really getting old...

Ima download it thanks for sharing!!

Hi. Amazing review as always. Please do a review on Dell Latitude 7285. Looking forward to it....

You can take the Dell apart and replace the battery. This warrants the purchase over the surface pro

I'd love to see a roundup and your take on the current best 2-in-1/convertibles/pc-tablets for drawing, that are still good main machines !

I think I'll wait for Dell to release a less corporate-centric version of this device. I currently have a HP Spectre X2, which does one thing better: It can charge through either USB C port, and there is one on each side, so regardless of which side it's convenient to plug into, it'll work. Having both USB C ports side by side, on the one side of the tablet, looks like it could cause problems for some users. One thing none of these tablets do, though, is have somewhere to stow the damn stylus for transport. The Spectre X2's stylus sticks to the bottom edge just because the battery in the pen happens to be attracted to the magnets in the keyboard cover. If you're absent minded, like me, the stylus will quite often stay home, when you need it in class. Is it so hard to include a slot in the chassis? I like the look of the speakers on this Latitude. The speakers on the HP are pathetically weak. Even in a relatively quiet place, I can't share a KZfaq video with someone because the ambient noise drowns the speakers out. Everyone I know with a HP, regardless of the model, agrees that HP speakers are absolute garbage. Although I'm not an Apple guy, I really would like to see Apple do a Surface clone. If they'd just bite the bullet and release a tablet mac, instead of iterating on their giant iPod, I'd give it an honest look. It'd probably be a dream device for a lot of users.

I really wish they would bring back the hard clamshell keyboard dock for home and hotel use. Sometimes you just need an actual laptop setting that the soft cover does not do.

If Dell really wants to totally blow Surface out of the water, then make them bezels disappear (or almost).

Great review as always! As a fellow lefty, does the pen attach magnetically to both sides of the tablet or just the right? And any likelihood of a 7285 review as well?

8:30 R.I.P

The Black metal looks so good.

SHould i still buy one of these in 2022

Not sure why Dell put the Latitude moniker on this tablet. The Latitudes are business laptops....made to be docked on a desk to use an external monitor(s) KB and mouse. Also....business tablets that lack an ethernet port are a HUGE pain in the ass for IT departments as well as users, whenever it comes time to change their domain passwords. Yes, there are USB ethernet adapters but those open up a stadium sized hole for network security.

Last year Dell put 2 thunderbolt 3 ports in their even thinner, core M processor powered E7275, therefore it is definitely not the thermo management that put DELL off. It is rather its targeting market which is for employees rather than employers.

great video thanks!!

hi my uncle gave me his dell latitude 5290 dont have the accessory (pen) can scroll around the screen and im restricted on doing a factory reset is there anyway i can do a full reset? thank you in advance

Nice, more Surface clones! Still, hoping you can get your hands on another clone, the Asus transformer 3 pro! The thunderbolt 3 on it and being promoted with Asus' new external GPU has me intrigued

Dell's business support is THE number one reason to buy it vs the surface. Even small businesses can have next day service for the product if something goes wrong. Good luck getting anything remotely close to that from Microsoft. Edit: now that I think about it, the lower resolution screen will also be much better when using software that doesn't scale to those super high resolutions. It was a real problem on the surfacebook and surface pro 4 I've setup for people and until microsoft implements a global OS level pinch to zoom feature that can be used to zoom in on super tiny stuff that ignores windows scaling settings, the surface products are a no go for me.

Watching this on a recently purchased SP4 and I still would prefer this over the Dell

now i am in a good mood

could you get the lenovo yoga 720 13 and 15

i "accidentally" deleted my OS on my latitude is there any way to reinstall it again? it doesn't boot up anymore

Hi there.... could you review the Samsung Galaxy Book 10.6 in please

Hi, I love your reviews. They are very detailed. Please do a comparison between X1thinkpad yoga vs elitebook X360 G2 vs Latitude Surface pro 5

Hi MobileTechReview I always love your honest reviews. And I want to request you to review the Dell XPS alternative which is the Dell Inspiron 14 7460/7560. Thank You More power MobileTechReview God Bless.

Would be nice to see a review of Dell's new 7280 business Ultrabook. There isn't a single English video review of it on KZfaq.

great video master Jedi👍

Impressive CPU performance. In Geekbench the single-core result it is better that of my MacBookPro 2014 with an 2.5Ghz i7 proc (single=4016, multi-thread=13275).

I wish for a pro 5 😪😪

Will the LTE work with T-mobile? SIM

I'm really struggling with my decision. I would mainly use my laptop/convertible for art, some coding, making school stuff and a little bit of gaming (eg. Rocket League (no high performance games)) I really don't know which one to buy. I considered the Surface Pro 4 but I think it's Typecover and the Pentechnology wouldn't be great. Then there are these 360° laptops that would probably fit my needs. But they're hugely expensive and everyone of them seems to have one thing that I don't like. Such as low battery life, no or bad pen support and so on. Recently, I found out about the new spectre x360 and about the thinkpad x1 yoga 2017. I think they both would be great options but they're above 1,500€... Do you have an unknown warrior that fits my needs? Or should I just stop being so nit-picky?

For some reason the core i3 model is currently listed for 3.5k dollars in Australia store...

Keyboard and touchpad not working, what's problem,?help please

it would be helpful if u could do a product review for Dell Inspiron 7560..

Thanks

The white balance shifted to a redder tone at 3:53

Did I see an extra USB A port on the charging brick?

some like me have display issues with the SP4. One blogger on MS suggested that the problem with heat dissipation on the video chip. Has MobileTechReview looked at this?

could you please do a review of the Honor 8 pro ? / the Honor V9 ?

So what is the first thing comes to your mind when it comes to art and tablets?

is there lights on keypad or not ????

Hello Lisa, My 15 year old ,yes XP laptop died. I have been looking to replace it for a while. Thing have changed for sure. I was hoping you could recommend a laptop for me. I am not a gamer , but i do like something with some power and of cause reliability.The two most important things are display and track pad performance. Most of what get's reviewed don't have very good color reproduction. Not that i need it for work, i just like to look at a screen that looks great. Color's pop !.I trust your opinion ,mainly because you see so many products. I don't want to brake the bank, but i will spend a few bucks to get something nice. Thanks ,hope you can help................................

how long do they expect pc's like these to last with the ram shouldered on the board and if the ram dies you have to buy a whole new motherboard or pc... sure i expect that i would upgrade to pc sooner than 4-5 years but still what if their is a early failure for some odd reason...

can you also review Lenovo Miix 720? no one seems to be keen to review it. But it's one of the best surface pro alternatives

what are the camera options and specs for this machine?

I get why they did this, but why not just go all the way and make it the same size, so u have the option to use a surface keyboard.

I'm looking into a surface type of tablet or thinking of getting the HP360 laptop but not sure I just need it for email and PowerPoint, excel and to do word documents like reports what do you suggest

can I use surface keyboard for Dell Latitude 5285?

I watched your review but I have a question. I'm an artist and I see the specifications and I love it but I dont find much information about the pen. I will use it to paint in photoshop or sculpt in zbrush, so I would like to know the difference between this pen and wacom pro pen because I dont know if the sensitivity to the inclination of the pen is the same.

So when the Surface Pro 5 is released, will the Surface Pro 4's price drop?

Hey Lisa, Quick question. Which has better integrated graphics? the surface 4 with iris 540 intel graphics or the Dell latitude with 620 HD intel graphics? Thanks!

Can I use its keyboard dock for dell xps 12.5 4K convertible????

It's a fairly cynical response to business demand for the Surface Pro: an unimaginative copy that doesn't seek to improve on the original in any way, including price, but does cut corners where it knows most businesses won't care. It is entirely predicated on their existing relationships with big business, and isn't really a consumer item.

What about cube mix plus? This tablet has pretty sweet feature for it's price.

How do you know the SP5 will have a USB-C port? I mean, we all hope that's true, but is it guaranteed?

I bought a used 5285 last month for about $250 equivalent in Japanese currency. While the laptop is nowhere near today's technology (CPU, GPU, etc.) it still works well and even got updated to Windows 11 23H2. But it really depends on how this is used. Definitely not for gaming (even Minecraft will struggle). For daily Office stuff and internet use, this is fine. But what is probably a good use for this in 2024 is to wipe out windows and install a Linux distro

Thanks so much

Do you think the Surface Pro 5 will have an LTE option or two USB ports?

Is the no thunderbolt support?

That microphone hooked on to your shirt, what is it? Brand and model ##? Please?

It´s funny how it looks like a Surface clone, when Dell was one of the first ones to make Windows tablets PC, and their Venue Pro and Latitudes models had a really distinct design (and you could take them apart ancd change a few things, not like this ones).

Hi Lisa, can it be charged with a normal (5v) powerbank via USB C?

Should I get this or HP Spectre x2?

Remember that the core m is now core I5y and i7y, I think there is an m3 though

please suggest me a convertible laptop that is best for paint and sketching.

Can you open it an replace the hard drive?

can you compare it to lenovo miix 720 & acer switch 5? please :)

What brand is you neck-microphone?

year 2021. sadly i don't find any dell latitude 5285 on sale anymore:( i want to purchase a dell 5285 so bad

Hey lisa can you review the new lenovo yoga 720?

please do a review on the new Lenovo Yoga 720 15"...

I was on the fence with buying Acer switch alpha for cheaper price point and allot of the bells. Acer only has about 4 hour battery when this has double. Acer is fanless i5 and this i5 has a fan. Hmmm Quiet is always better. Decisions.

Is the Latitude 5285 touchscreen?

So those complaining about reviewing the Chinese/Taiwanese "Clones" will be complaining just as much about this American model right? Right? Anyone?

no infinity display D:

HP Pro x2 612 G2 - NEXT Please

hi friend I think it would be pleasant that you review xiaomi mibook air 13.3 its an affordable and is great to see some one like you review it with best regards

That low-resolution kills it for me... Later Dell!

Dell did such a good job on xps line to minimise the bezels (except for awkward camera placement), why this has such big bezels?

do this dell support egpu?
