Guys, I brought a very big box for you. Yes, It’s from Dell. “Make every festival special with DELL”. They sent us this Alienware gaming headset. They’re crazy good. It’s Alienware, so they’re quite futuristic. We’ll talk about them later. But this box. That. Is. What. Is. Important. Because the thing in this box, you might’ve never seen it. Let’s open. Inside the big black box, there is a small…black box. Alright. Let’s keep that aside. Let’s open this. Oh! Alright. “Welcome to Dell, let’s do great things together.” The box is big but– Oh My! Just look at this. What could it be? Tell us in the comments before watching further. Pause it. Tell us down below. There’s documentation, oh interesting, there’s a 3.5mm jack to USB type-C adapter. Look at that. Alright. Another interesting thing, oh, USB type-C to type-A adapter, or I’ll say, converter. And you have USB type-C to type-C cable, this is just like the one for phones. It’s something like that. Now, can you guess what’s in the box? You might’ve known from the title itself.
Oh, there’s something here. Everything looks miniaturized for this laptop. Ultra-portable. Look at this. It’s the charger. It’s a laptop but a little different. USB Type-C. And, obviously, cable. That’s about it. Now, we’ll see the laptop. By the way, guys, all the packaging material was recyclable. That’s good. Every brand is doing that and even DELL is. Wow! I mean it’s thin, light, small, it is ultra small, I’ll say. Even this is made from low-carbon aluminium, guys. And why low-carbon? Because it is environmentally-friendly. To reduce the carbon-footprint. So, that’s good. Wow. By the way, 2 USB type-C ports are available on both sides and nothing else. You’ll need to use an adapter for a 3.5mm jack. But this is light, man! Probably, the lightest laptop I’ve ever held. By the way guys, let me show you these Alienware headphones. There’s even a picture of an alien. That’s what we think aliens might be like. Very nice material used. Let’s keep this aside. There are two color options. This is platinum but there’s also graphite available if you don’t like light colours. Let’s open. Oh My God! Just look at that. Where is the trackpad? They don’t even have these physical keys. The function keys are not there. These are soft-touch buttons. Oh, look at that. Oh My G– Guys, look at this laptop. It looks so futuristic.
Look at the keyboard or the buttons, or the display, everything looks like it came from the future. But the Trackpad is present here. Oh, this entire thing is a trackpad? Wha– So, this is the size of the trackpad. Very big. For the form factor, you get a very big trackpad. Oh, I love this, seriously. Talking about the display, look at the side bezels. They’re even thinner than some smartphones. Very thin bezels. Talking about the display size, this form factor might be 12” because there are no bezels. It is a 13.4” screen which is quite big for the form factor. By the way, there are different variants for the display, like FHD, 4K, & 4K OLED. The one with us is a 4K variant with an IPS display. But there is an OLED variant available, too. But I have to say this, this keyboard is beautiful. It might take some time for you to get used to it. Once you are used to it– Everything is flat, nothing is protruding out. So, that’s good. It’s a back-lit keyboard. You can adjust the brightness. Guys, these are all capacitive buttons and you can use them very easily. It’s not that– Look at this. They’re very responsive on a light touch, too. DELL calls this the seamless glass touchpad. Like I was talking about it. It’s quite big. By the way, there is a fingerprint scanner right here. It isn’t visible but it’s right there. And it supports Windows Hello, too. It’s IR with a webcam. But that bezel is very small. By the way, we didn’t see the weight, yet. I think it’ll hardly be 1.2 / 1.3Kg. Seems very light but let’s see. Ah! 1246g.
It’s only 1.25Kg. You can carry it all day and not have any problems. Surprisingly, its weight is less but the battery is of 55Wh which is really good. Generally, even the big laptops have 50-51Wh battery and this has 55Wh which is good. And battery backup for the FHD display is 13H, DELL claims. Although, you can easily get 10-11H very easily. If you use 4K then it’ll be around 6-7H easily. You shouldn’t have any problems. Battery backup is really good. And the tiny charger I showed you, that is a 60W charger. Talking about the specifications, the one we have is i5 12th Gen which is excellent. There is an i7 variant, too. Iris Xe is the name of the integrated graphics card. Talking about the RAM, it has 16GB RAM and 512GB storage. There are 8GB RAM and 32GB RAM available, too. There are different variants. Guys, this has launched very recently and it is XPS Plus. Generally, the XPS laptops are premium but this is ultra premium If you see the design, it’s completely different, that’s why it’s XPS Plus. Price is obviously going to Premium or I’ll say Premium+. It’ll start from around Rs. 1.2 Lakh, Rs. 1.3 Lakh that’s what I’m guessing. I’m not sure at this point of time since it hasn’t launched in India. Another thing about the display, guys. There’s a touch and a non-touch display. We have a touch display. If you want that you can get it. By the way, on the matter of storage, there is 512GB storage but it is also very fast. In fact, we tested that, guys, you get 4-6 GBps read-write speed of data transfer. But one thing, this laptop is for those who want premium laptops, you know, when you take it out everyone should see, it’s for that.
If you want to do gaming, it’s obviously not for that. This is for working professionals who want a premium high-end laptop. In regards to that, I’ll say you can compare it to a MacBook. By that, I’ll say it really stands out. When you’ll take this out, people will definitely look at this. Talking about multimedia, even though its form factor is small, the audio quality is really very good. And that display, I mean with those really thin bezels, you get a very immersive viewing experience. One thing which I think should be present is 360° rotation. It has a touch-screen but if I wanted to use it like a tablet by the 360° rotation, this would have been very nice. But this is not 360°, you can only rotate it this much maximum. The connectivity has Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.2. And yes I said this before, it has only 2 USB type-C ports, so for attaching a monitor to make it 4K, you can do that, too. But you have to learn to live with that dongle life, there might always be a dongle here. By the way, for video-calling there is a HD webcam. It also has 2 microphones where one is for noise-cancelling for better audio. For the OS, you get Window 11 from out of the box, so no problems there.
Like I said before, the stand-out feature of this is the ultra portability. If you want a laptop that you need to carry, it should look Premium, for a status symbol of Windows, then you should definitely see the DELL XPS Plus, it stands out. Since it is a premium laptop, then the price will also be premium++. I’m unboxing right now, so I don’t know the price but it should be around Rs. 1.5 Lakh, that’s my guess. So, it’ll be around that as the starting price and depending on the variant, it’ll differ. By the way, I’m giving all the links in the description box below, you can go and check it out. So, who should buy this laptop? If you’re a working professional and you want a premium-looking, light-weight, ultra-portable laptop, you should definitely look at this. Display is in variety so whichever you want you can buy. And performance is quite good because it has the 12th Gen Intel core processor. So, overall, a very premium ultra-portable laptop, that is what DELL XPS Plus is.
