This is the second review I'm watching from you. Last one was the ThinkPad E14 gen2 years ago which I bought then. You have a unique and refreshing style of reviewing. You are giving real user insight rather than describing things everybody can see and find online. Keep it up!
Welcome to my videos Tremaine Roberston, thank you for your feedback. I understand my lighting conditions isn't the best for video and I'm slowly tweaking the lighting and improving on it as I slowly get funds for it. As I'm looking to do this for a bit of time I so rather slowly get quality products for the long run then just cheap quick fix, so please bare with me as I continue building my studio. Hoping in my current and later videos there is lighting improvements. =)
Hi John Camacho, you are so right!! I didn't even notice or knew of the feature since Dell never really advertised it on the older models. Thank you, even I learn something new!
So the strength of the magnet for the keyboard to the screen is same as the Dell 5285 and 5290 and the Surface Pros. They are strong enough to work on your lap but if you are doing some pretty hardcore keyboard bashing then it will give slack for the top part of the magnet but the bottom part where it is connected to the laptop's side will be still connected. The thing about working this type of frame on your lap is that the kickstand's edge over time on your lap digs into your thigh a bit.
Hi 05 d, welcome to my videos, thanks for the feedback and yes when I first got the 7200 I straight away wondered if the keyboard covers was swapable with the 5285, 5290.
Hi Rich Taylor, welcome to my videos and thank you very much for your support and feedback, it really is warming to hear the good feedback and support. Hope you are doing well in these interesting times.
Thanks a lot man. A great review. I have a question, as said RAM is soldered here, but SSD, WIFI card are serviceable.....in the older 5290 version which of these are upgradable/serviceable? RAM SSD Battery Also it would have been better if we could hear both 5390& 7200 playing a video/audio at different volume levels from low then medium and all the way to the max. One more thing, top line versions of the older 5390 have thunderbolt 3 instead of USB-C so I am little quorius which model with model number did you buy and what's it's configuration? Thanks and best of luck for future videos
Thanks Vikas, with the older 5290 it is in the same boat as the 7200, everything can be upgradable besides the RAM and CPU I forgot to mention in the video. When the RAM or CPU has fault, Dell will replace the system board on these. Unlike the Surface Pros, Dell techs can easily remove the system board (though it is takes the longest time in terms of labour compare to the other parts to remove the system board). Answering the question fully the SSD and Battery are be upgradable/serviceable (slot or port base). As for the 5290 I don't think there is a thunderbolt 3 version of it, it is stated here in Dell site (www.dell.com/support/article/au/en/aubsd1/sln305150/some-systems-with-usb-type-c-port-lack-a-thunderbolt-3-controller?lang=en) I found out the hard way when a Dell TB16 was purchased with the 5290 and couldn't get it working. For the comparison of the sound of the 7200 and 5290 I can happily make a separate video to demo this. I was considering doing this anyway be keep it separate in case youtube hits up copyright on the music and don't remove the audio off this main review video. I will link it once it is done.
@@BsianTech thanks a million for the valuable info. It will help me a lot. By the way, I went to the Dell US site and double checked regarding the thunderbolt 3 availability on 5290. It looks like it's available on few models with both i5 and i7(it's optional). Here's the link- www.dell.com/en-us/work/shop/compare?ocs=cto35290132n1us,cto45290132n1us I also read on a Reddit post that thunderbolt 3 is available on few models. Waiting for the sound video, if possible compare the two models with surface pro 6 also. Warm regards
@@vikasgupta7126 Not a worry, wow once again Australian version products get jipped =(. Lesson learnt will try to remember to check US site in future videos too lol. Anyway mate the sound test your after is now up for you =), czcams.com/video/07cMaUC_uXY/video.html
Hi, my workplace provided me with the Latitude 7200 2-in-1 with the keyboard cover and the pen. The pen has a tether that it came with, but I cannot figure out where on the device the tether can go. I know the pen is magnetic but I would prefer the security of the cord. Do you have any idea where it can tie on to the tablet?
Marc Panther, the 7200 and 5290 2-in-1 are very similar in specs, only very very minor performance increase (very very small) for CPU and brighter screen, 5290 was 340 nits and the 7200 is 400nits. That's really mostly the difference along with keyboard cover change which is the major difference I think.
Hi Lorenzo, welcome to my videos. The latitude 7200 2in1 in its current form I wouldn't advise for gaming, it be able to do the simple facebook games and flash base games but the Intel graphics is pretty basic. If you invest in an eGPU then you can do some hardcore gaming. eGPU would connect to the thunderbolt port in this laptop to provide some more serious graphics power. Hope that helps.
So went from Black to Silver colour finish, it now has a new keyboard, I fee it is heavier than the 5290 keyboard but 7200 keyboard feels better to type on with the material of the palm rest. Speaker improvements I feel its cleaner the sound quality from it (I did a video for this czcams.com/video/07cMaUC_uXY/video.html). Also a very very minor processor bump up barely noticable. If you already own a Latitude 5290, keep using it I wouldn't think its worth the upgrade, use it till it dies or better upgrade comes.
Hi Ksojoel, welcome to my videos, initially I thought so as well but the latitude 7285 was a flipback tablet style and didn't have a kickstand. The 7200 is more like the latitude 5290 along with the keyboard cover too. Hope this helps =).
@@BsianTech thanks for the response. Personally i dont like the kickstand feature because it is too basic. I got a proper stand for my 7285 wich allows me to adjust the height and rotate the table in portrait mode.
@@ksojoel No problems at all. The kickstand has it's times when needed and I have had some complaints about it as well. Are you a digital artist, just going by your stand that is?
@@BsianTech i suppose they discontinued the 7285? I have it right now, I am about to pick a new Dell 2in1, but seems like theres only a kickstand now. Seems like a downgrade with all the bezels. Not sure if I should replace the 7285 with the 7200 or just prolong the warranty on mine. I do feel like the 7200 may be at least more powerful with the cooling? I like the 7285 design a lot, like a lot
Hi Jessica Long, depending on use if you pushing the computer hard realistic about 2 hours and about average web surfing and media streaming its about 5 hours on better battery mode with 50% screen brightness.

Awsome review thank you.
I've abandoned iPad for this bad boy, man what a device!!!
It mkes the ipad look like an expensive piece of sealed-up glue.
great review. the same pn579x pen can also magnetically attach to the Dell latitude 5290 model as well.
Cheers @Yellow Joe, if the Latitude 5290 was a 2-in-1 else it is trying to magnetically drawn to the speakers lol.
@@BsianTech hello. im referring to the 5290 detachable. previous generation to the 7200 you reviewed here. the pen can magnetically attach
With all due respect, you should honestly do your reviews in better lighting conditions. Otherwise, good reviews.

@@BsianTech , sure, I understand. Keep up the good work!
hey, i’m new to your videos. great review! i was just wondering… is the pen working with palm rejection?
Do you think 7200 is great for drawing buildings like great for using Auto Cad?? Waiting for your reply!!!
The 5285 and 5290 *do* have that feature where you open the kickstand by pressing down on the base of the tablet. They have those two buttons.
Hi John Camacho, you are so right!! I didn't even notice or knew of the feature since Dell never really advertised it on the older models. Thank you, even I learn something new!
Which one is better? 7200 or 5285
@@BrunoF8. 7200 has newer processor
Could you please tell me how strongly it holds the display to keyboard once it gets attached. Will I be able to use it on my lap while travelling?
So the strength of the magnet for the keyboard to the screen is same as the Dell 5285 and 5290 and the Surface Pros.

hi bsiandad, Great review! I have a 5290 and was really hoping I could buy a 7200 keyboard for it :( Thanks for covering so much in this review.
Hi 05 d, welcome to my videos, thanks for the feedback and yes when I first got the 7200 I straight away wondered if the keyboard covers was swapable with the 5285, 5290.
What is the new model we should look at after the 5290 and 7200?
5290 has the auto kick stand too and so did the 5285 before that. It's not new by any means
Good demo and review. Cheers mate. Sub'd
Hi Rich Taylor, welcome to my videos and thank you very much for your support and feedback, it really is warming to hear the good feedback and support. Hope you are doing well in these interesting times.
My dell is blinking a red light at the bottom of the laptop. Is that an issue or is it normal?
This or the hp elitebook x360 g2 1030?
Hallo sir are PN579x support for latitude 7275 2in1 ?
Thank you
Can you get an LTE module for that model??
Thanks a lot man. A great review.

Good teview
Palm rejection available??
Does the Dell 7200 metal keyboard work with the Dell 5290?
Does it run power point and Microsoft word?
It can run the office suite quite easily.

The end of the string is in the upper right corner of the tablet.
The specs look the same as the 5290 2-in-1. So weird.
