Got the specs wrong, it's not Zen4 and RDNA3, the 7735u is Zen3+ and RDNA2

[@LesPaulLoligerKanal]

want to say the same thing, it would be the 7840u that got Zen4 and RDNA3

[@austinevans]

That's my bad, you're 100% correct.

[@Villgger]

yes.

​@@austinevans Listen im not trying to ebeg here. I just dont know what else to do. I know im prob gonna sound delusional. But trying beats not trying. But id thought id ask. But my pc is rediculously outdated. But if you have any rtx card lying around Could yah get ahold of me? Ive had a founders addtion 1080 sense 2016 17. And its finally starting to shit out on me. Im terrfied, because of how ireplaceable it is im currently saving for a new bed frame box spring and matress sense ive been sleeping on matress from 2013 and a busted box spring. If I sound delusional or a bit brave asking this. I did just smoke a bit. I thought id ask around. Def beats not asking.

[@kcpisonet]

@@austinevans MISINFORMATION ALERT! 9 hours since upload this video is still not corrected. It is still saying this device is a Zen 4 when it is NOT (just Zen 3+). It is also not outfitted with RDNA3 graphics (just rdna2). The longer this video stays uncorrected, the more chance it might DUPE many viewers/consumers into thinking they are seeing a next generation product. False Information....... Credibility going down...

It’s crazy to me that manufacturers have such enormous lineups that they can sell both 400 dollar Walmart laptops and 1500 dollar pro laptops. Those keys look not great from the video though…

[@gabriel55ita]

imagine if they used the same cheap plastic of the 14-15 laptop series that break because screen hinges put too much pressure on it 💀. HP makes good looking pcs with decent performance (and fairly low bloat) and they try to cheap on what's possible which is normal but damn these laptops breaks by just opening them...

[@YeloDoesStuff]

[@DctrGizmo]

A $1,500 laptop without a headphone jack is a complete joke.

[@JoseAlba87]

No HDMI, No USB type A, No Headphone jack, No SD card I'm not here to buy another Apple. HP has a history of burning USB type-c ports.

current macbooks have hdmi, headphone jack and sd card. no usb a though… : ( but most of the things i buy nowadays come with usb-c anyways.

What is the point of this? If you want to do light video editing, email and excel…. You can get an older Surface Pro for literally £450. Hell, an old macbook pro would be better value than this.

[@RAFAEL60160]

That magnetic back is awesome!!

[@marcustmusic]

This laptop is basically useless as a music production machine without having that headphone jack but on the flip side, typing docs at “faster speed” is neat lol. Also not having to deal with bloatware in the first place is nice at the end of the day it’s still a Windows laptop, a $1550 Windows laptop for productivity if you are a businessman or woman.

[@BigNameJamesStuff]

Austin, please don't play off HP having a physical support button on the KEYBOARD DECK as something "good." HP is honestly insane for even thinking that that was a good idea.

I always find "Pro" laptops in a weird spot. Windows gaming laptops are for the most part much better for the price, and for ever so slightly more you could get an M2 MacBook, which also has a GPU.
