Dell does have a Type-C adapter that supports 130W of power but it's "non-standard" and doesn't work with any other brand. Technically HP can do similar.

[@AndreiTache]

@agentcrm Why would it defeat the purpose? It still works exactly like any other type-c port, with the bonus of also charging through it. If the laptop has a usb-c port on both sides, I can't overstate how awesome it is to be able to change the side on which you charge. That is seriously the only reason I care about usb-c charging at all lol

I had a Spectre x360 15 repaired a year ago (the battery had died two months before the warranty ended) - early 2019 spec - and after I got it back, one of the rubber strips didn't hold well, especially after intensive workload (playing games). I'm pissed the authorized service didn't clean the residue glue and use a completely new strip, it's difficult to spread it evenly. I had to cut the strip to fit in the groove.

10:10 - This is my number one complaint with my HP Spectre x360 14". The rubber feet have started coming off in a month and a half, it's impossible to find the exact part number for the 14", and there's just not a lot of options due to it being a strip vs a circular pad design

[@jonathangonzalez9149]

Have you tried hp part surfer?

[@knubbelidoo]

I have the same issue with my envy x360 13". One of the strips started coming off after about half a year, the other one is still mostly fine. After trying to reattach it with various glues, I just slapped a long strip of adhesive tape over it for now. Which, of course, kinda defeats the "grippy" nature of the rubber foot and makes the laptop slide around a lot more.

Had this with my spectre a few years ago, and combined with the crappy trackpad drivers they had back then I sold it asap

Never again.

My girlfriend is going through something similar right now. Her laptop keeps crashing on her, and the power button doesn't work unless she spams it a few times(right from the start). But HP support was giving her bullshit suggestions like running their diagnostics, and restoring it to a previous state. Although it doesn't take a genius to see that when it's a problem that was there from the start, restoring to a previous state isn't gonna do shit. And they refuse to fix her power button, coz technically, it's working, isnt it? Never buying another laptop from those guys.

I also own the infamous dv9000 that I did the penny "mod" on (It's just been sitting there I don't know if it works actually) and that's the same vibes I get from the spectre series, and it's a shame because they look gorgeous.

They made it almost impossible to work in the dark or low light environments now.

Intel's i7-11390H processor has Geekbench single-core scores in the 1600s (see notebookcheck website).

The i7-11390H is also the most powerful 11th Gen processor not designed for gaming or workstations. If you are doing basic office/school work waiting for Intel's 12th Gen i7 processors ain't worth it; especially since those laptops will be more expensive. Finally, 12th Gen battery life will not be better than 11th Gen which is why Intel has been completely silent on that topic. And the screen size is 16:10, not 16:9.

This 16:10 (not 16:9) 2-in-1 HP laptop is a great combination of power and battery life, and the cost was $1094US open-box at Best Buy (comes w/laptop case and pen). My 16 inch Spectre x360 (i7, 16 ram, 512ssd) w/integrated graphics scores in the low 1600s on Geekbench 5.4 single-core and mid 5400s for multi-core. Most recent leaks of 12th Gen i7 processors range from 1600s to 1700s for single-core, and 6300s to 10,000 for multi-core. So for office/school work (single-core), Intel 12th Gen i7 processors are not a big upgrade. As for battery life, it gets 13 hours on balanced power setting (KZbin viewing, brightness at 40%, wifi and battery saver on, bluetooth off) and 10 hours on highest power setting (battery saver turned off). Screen is perfectly viewable at ZERO brightness and battery life increases to 15 hours on balanced power. I keep screen brightness at or just above ZERO working at home. Unlike performance, Intel has been silent on 12 Gen processors' battery life. So these new processors won't increase battery life (or Intel would be mentioning it). Rumor has it their 13th Gen processors are supposed to increase performance and battery life.

If the rubber feet come off, the solution is simple. You can put almost any glue, although I used the silicone glue for cell phones from aliexpress "T-7000" there are several brands but they all do the same.

[@CriCroCrav]

By the way, I did this with my HP envy laptop, it fits very well, the glue is thin and firm, it is not noticeable. But if your laptop has screws under those rubber bands, you will not be able to put the glue on it for obvious reasons (in this case, you would have to use double-sided adhesive tape, although it is not perfect and there is a risk that the rubber bands will break in half if you you try to pull out when the adhesive is strong)

30w GPU that's the speed of a GTX 960? check Optane enhanced SSD so you'll lose all your data in 2 years when the Optane module dies? check Fake H series processor that's actually a quad core? check OLED screen that will burn in and become horrible after 2 years? check 2x the cost that it should be? check (cuz otherwise they wouldn't have the budget for this ad)

[@aurathedraak7909]

When this channel shows no respect for tech, if I was HP's sponsor, I wouldn't give them money anymore or product reviews.

[@seanonraet8327]

Ok

[@em0_tion]

It's enough that Alex lied about this laptop's repairability. They're making fools out of their viewers and you're concerned about respect for tech? 😀

[@heiselblock]

holy shit that unboxing was awesome

[@XarocDrocass]

⭐️ Great Video. I always find myself smiling when you’re hosting, you radiat positive energy. 👍

[@Jezee213]

It seems like every windows laptop has a wobbly screen, not saying MacBooks are better but they have the hinge perfect. Just something I recently noticed.

[@noneofyourbusiness6100]

Please share with us a MacBooks that has a 2-in-1 design or even a 180 degree screen? Then tell us which MacBook has pen support and/or a touchscreen. As for build quality, you do know that MacBooks have class-action lawsuit filed against them every year, right? cracked screens 2021, green screen 2020, connectivity 2019, keyboard 2018, thermal throttling 2017 And that is in just the last 5 years! No wonder HP as 25% laptop marketshare to Apples 7-8%...lol

[@charliefisher1375]

I just bought one of those about a month ago almost exactly as speced here (I got it at about $1300 WITH the oled because of their pre-12th gen clearance sale), and I'm really happy I got it before the 12th gen refresh. While the 12th gen processors are miles better, it also comes with an Intel A370M dedicated graphics, which (from what I've heard) are nowhere near as good as the 3050 mobile, even ignoring the frequent driver issues and display problems with the new card. Overall, the refresh is more like 1 step forward and 1 step back. If they kept the 3050, I'm sure it would be perfect. So if anyone's looking to buy it, I HEAVILY recommend it.

[@derptyderp5287]

Did HP fix the design of their hinges yet? Those x360's are notorious for self destructing, because they screw into plastic, which is just plain stupid. I'm also including my usual comment about pen/stylus review, test the pressue/jitteryness of it in something like photoshop, HP pens are generally just ewaste. Lastly, performance mode on HP laptops tends to only be when plugged in, so it'll probably be outperformed by the much cheaper Steam Deck on battery. I do like the look of HP's x360 laptops and adding connectors onto the back corners is pretty cool... Not sure why the USB needs the flap if the HDMI port doesn't though, those things are annoying.

[@Sylkis89]

hot take: Laptops without the convertible/360 flip functionality shouldn't be a thing anymore at this day and age. Be it for media consumption, for for business presentations, etc. - you want to flip it around on a regular basis. Or when using with a docking station at home and/or the office, when you have a separate mouse and keyboard hooked up anyway, you want to flip it so it could stand on its own without wasting space on the desk with the built in keyboard, and make it an actually convenient and useful multi-screen set up - yet it is still a laptop, so when in the field, on a train, whatever - you still do have the built in keyboard and trackpad to use it in such situations as an oldschool laptop. Anyone who doesn't think they need this functionality are either some very narrow niche of a niche, or just don't realise how convenient this would be for them and drive up their productivity because of years long habits from the past ages that they still have and that is holding back progress when such people still but oldschool laptops and drive up the price of the convertible ones inadequately cause they make it seem like the convertible thing is a niche when in reality it really should be just the standard already and NOT having it should be a whim.

[@TuiCatNZ]

It will be interesting to see some art focused reviews on this.

[@darksider_video]

Working in Corporate IT support, I detest USB C charging, as it is far too delecate with the majority of users. It wouldn't be so bad if the ports were on a separate board, however most seem to be on the motherboard (well the Lenovo's I have seen anyway).

[@Technocrat.]

What's with the infatuation for a type c charging port. Who cares. Charges faster with proper plug.

[@em0_tion]

Barrel jacks are also mechanically stronger and cheaper/easier to fix. Pink world...

[@winonesoon9771]

Yo there is literally a $799.00 rtx 3060 MSI laptop on best buy right now with a 10500h. what a beast deal lol that's the type of stuff they should be reviewing

[@silasbelcher3788]

Looks super comparable to the Microsoft laptop studio I just bought, except I can actually open up an HP! WHY MICROSOFT? 😭

[@System51]

I stick with my £460 Asus Vivo book and LinuxMint. It can run gimp and with it's R5 3500U and Vega8

[@DPedroBoh]

I wanted a steam deck so much to use as a portable pc. But it doesnt even ship to brazil. Although if if did, it wouldn't be affordable anyways. Sad.

[@nukers1234]

When a competitor is sponsoring your laptop video :D

[@russell3691]

I had a very hard time getting this video to load on mobile... all other videos worked fine. Very odd.

[@milamber319]

I have an envy 14 and I had to disasemble to clean the fan and that meant removing the strips. You can buy replacement ones but i actually didnt find it that hard to put them back i just needed to buy good doulbe sided tape.

[@VicharB]

C'mon ... where is the wattage (CPU & GPU), battery, stress and heat test - how it compares to others with the same spec! This is not how you do laptop reviews. It can come with good specs but be castrated at wattage, or have not good battery or heat issues. Just saying. Myself using EliteBook 5850U and very satisfied.

[@gskyflakes]

i love how you guys chose to review an HP laptop for an MSI sponsored video. takes balls

[@SwoggersLOL]

Honestly a lousy review. It feels more like an ad and less like an actual review. Your only complaint was the USBC charging? REALLY? On a machine that draws THAT many watts? What about the fact they removed the ten-keys for your precious speakers? Which is identical to the top speaker layout? Or the bloatware? Tough chassis? Go to best buy; my money is on you being able to wiggle it like a wet noodle

[@losergamer04]

The technology of yesterday at tomorrow’s prices!

[@johnbaron3070]

I got a spectre 2 years ago. I don't have many complaints except for the rubber strips and the hinge. The strips just fall off after a while and the hinge loses its stiffness after a few months, and that's on me not using it that much.

[@handlemissing]

Dang! HP sells laptops now with LTT accounts from the box! When TF will this channel do a proper unbox, like removing the seal ON CAMERA?

[@211teitake]

Screen jitter seems more than usual.

[@bitkarek]

you dont need 32 gigs of ram... unless you do alot of video editing or some CFDs etc. I have 32 gigs, i do video, i do 3D and 2D graphics and I have never used more than 16 anyway...

[@ThatTechChannel101]

9:18 POOR LAPTOP?!?! This thing costs 2000 bucks! It doesn't even get CLOSE to being able to be called a 'poor' laptop!

[@snowgriffins]

Those prices are ridiculously unattainable for the average consumer

[@em0_tion]

And this product is an over-priced piece of junk anyway, so you really ain't missing much.

[@rohitmanaktala]

The screen shakes so much when typing!

[@ios759]

the screen wobbles a lot,the lid flexes.

[@z1power]

Glossy screen (the mark of a ewaste laptop), soldered in RAM and not enough of it, not sure if the HD is replaceable, and no doubt lots of HP and Dell bloatware all for a super premium price. I think I'll pass!

[@noneofyourbusiness6100]

translation: i can't afford it...lol

[@Mr.Nabil.Belhaj]

I praise HP for going with a barrel plug charger, because the old x360 is plagued with USB-C problems, i've seen hundreds of them with broken connectors, I fix computers and i will not buy a laptop with a USB-C charging port especially over 65 watts, because it's gonna break. SO YOU SHOULD STOP ADVOCATING OTHERWISE

[@AlessandroTischer]

Waiting for this in ryzen 6000 config. The only alternative I see is the ROG X13 but... Well, it's 13'...

[@samueld.spoonhour4169]

YOU NEED TO READ THIS!!!!!! Rom 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Rom 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Rom 5:8 But God commended his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Rom 10:9 That if you shall confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and shall believe in your heart that God has raised him from the dead, you shall be saved. Rom 10:10 For with the heart man believes unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. Rom 10:13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. Luke 24:47 And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations… God bless you all!

[@ThisWillCharacter]

Yeah I’m not gonna be swapping from my inspiron 15” for this thing lol

[@bobm2878]

Nice video Alex! Anyway I hate - hate- the color of this new 360. The color looks ugly, like a washed-out, faded black.HP is probably trying to save money: a deep dark black would require more paint and cost them more money. But that ugly color is a deal breaker imo. Plus, over 2 grand -- Jesus, use a first-rate color, and make this 360 look eye-catching. It is far from that right now.
