I really enjoy this presenter’s delivery. Very natural whilst still being professional. Well spoken and it doesn’t come across as overly scripted. Just an overall great video review.
I just bought this laptop, the build quality and the display are amazing. Unfortunately it was only available in my country with 8 gigs of RAM, but since i already have a desktop I'm not too worried about it.
Does the type-c port support data and display port simultaneously? I want to use it occasionally as desktop setup with single cable going in to laptop using a external type-c dongle.

Thank you so much for reviewing this. I bought this last month after checking the specs and expected similar behavior as you described. It really is a hidden gem!
I've been using this laptop for about a week. I bought the 16GB and Ryzen 7 variant. While it might be an overkill for "daily usage" it works great for heavier tasks like compiling code and it even can run some games. If you have a choice go with 16GB of ram. I saw lots of laptops became unusable over the years just because the ram was soldered.
I’ve been having some issues with Wi-Fi I literally just got one and I know my Wi-Fi is a one but seems like sometimes the laptop wants to connect to it and sometimes it’s connected in the browsing will not like load is anybody else having that problem
I don't think it's made out of plastic but actually magnesium alloy which is lighter than alluminium and softer to the touch, confusing people to think it as plastic due as it doesn't have the strong metal like feeling present in alluminium chassis. I've it and I checked the review of others as well. Regarding keyboard backlight, just select the Ceramic white color at 15 bucks which adds backlight keyboard by default and saves another 5 buck. Also, Costco is selling it at 799 but with backlit keyboard.
@@aadeshsenthilkumar Then it's a no brainer. I got the highest spaced model with 5800u, 16gb ddr4, QHD+ Display, 1TB ssd and HP Type C hub at $800 using my EPP Account and WINTER10 Coupon they were running last week. I must say, I prefer it over my xps 13. Now experimenting with Ryzen Controller to see how much TDP I can apply without overheating.
@@123Suryasis i went all the way up to 30W without overheating the CPU, but the VRMs started overheating and amperage control was activating on the motherboard
@@jasonk4099 Thanks for letting me know. I'm probably going to set 30W for short boost but around 18-20W for sustained power draw. That will increase the temp definitely but still will be below 85 degree C. Do you have any success for manually ramp up the fan to max?
Turns out HP doesn't sell it in Canada, thanks HP, it makes all the sense to have it reviewed by a Canadian RUclips Channel. Hewlett Packard, please fix this
No kidding, so crazy, the only version I could find was the 8GB model at Costco, otherwise completely unavailable in Canada. I contacted HP directly and they confirmed...sigh.
I just want to point out that the laptop is not plastic. It is made of some OBP (e.g. touch pad) and mostly magnesium alloy (case). Hence the ~900g weight. It makes a difference because magnesium alloy is more sturdy and durable than plastic. It is also recyclable and sustainable (due to its high natural occurrence). It is a well-built laptop, just very thin and flexible (due to the magnesium alloy casing).
Hi there. I am planning to get samsung 65w type c pd charger. Will it charge. I remember before 1 year when I purchased I wanted to make sure it charges with type c pd. Just want to confirm 65w type c charger would work.
Small nitpick... "The chassis consists of recycled oceanbound plastics" The chassis is made of magnesium alloy, not plastic. It's the keycaps that use recycled plastic. Also, the USB-C port does support power delivery.
Do you think hp would miss the opportunity to mention that it has a magnesium alloy chassis for marketing purposes ? They didn't mention it because it actually has a plastic chassis but with a metalic paint.
@@sourav7162 They mention it several times when marketing the laptop. It's also shown multiple times when reading the details about the laptop. I bought my mother one, it's light but it's cool to the touch just like other metals.

Great review! Focussing on the right aspects in a laptop in this price range. I do wonder, however, how this Aero 13 gets so much attention when there are Laptops like the Lenovo Slim 7 Pro with Ryzen 7 5800H and a stunning 90Hz QHD OLED for 900 Euros on the market. Edit: My point is moot, because neither the 5800H OLED version I have, nor the cashback deal that made it cost 899 seem to be available any more.
Link? I also wish they updated their regular Slim 7 & make the display 16:10. The only reason my bro didn't pick up the 4800U model last year was bcoz of the limited 8GB RAM, there was no fricking 16GB RAM model with a Ryzen 7, like wtf?! It has much better build & more ports then this Aero, but I like the Aero too
Seems like I can't post any links. Got my dark grey model three weeks ago on the Lenovo website for 899. Exact model is NB YG Slim 7 Pro 14ACH5 O R7 16G512G10H according to the invoice. If that one becomes available again, I can highly recommend it.
If you are looking to do light gaming on this, do NOT buy it. I bought mine around a year ago, the bottom scratches easily and I've had problems with the headphone jack and the volume key, I use it mostly for my work and school, occasionally I'll do some light gaming on it (i am a youtuber/streamer) I thought it would be fine for that but it was kind of terrible for gaming, it ran at an average of 15 fps max 20 fps, it kept crashing and lagging so bad (I have good internet) the screen us pretty small, I don't like the keys. Overall I'd rate this personally a 4.5/10 remember this is personal, I don't know if it is just my computer or not.
So far drawbacks I found: - The top F1-F12 line of keys is having the LED light underneath visible directly through the space underneath the keycap border so the whole line of keys shines in the eyes in certain angle. - The angle how much you can open the lid is very narrow - like 120 degrees or so - The USB ports are so narrow that I have to use force to plug in USB stick and pliers to remove it
how are the other aspect of hp aero?i hear have screen flickering and wifi issues too.... wifi 6 but still cannot connect to wifi? what are the other cons of this laptop? i am still considering buy or not buy...
Thanks for another great review! I have owned the same version of this HP Aero for just under a month and it DOES have USB-C charging support. I have used this method of charging almost exclusively since I bought it. I found that it needs a 45W or higher rated third-party power plug. I have had wifi issues though with poor throughput and dropped connections. Still not resolved and HP customer service, tech support have been -- how shall I say this -- not even close to helpful. I now know more about this machine than they do. I tried to confirm whether or not the motherboard provides Gen 4 for NVMe slot and as far as I can tell it does not. I believe it's Gen 3 (too bad). Do you and does anyone else know for sure? Nice price point for this total package but HP needs to improve it's support and product knowledge.
I received an update to my wifi driver about 3 weeks ago that fixed my similar connectivity issues! Hopefully a similar fix will work on your machine :)
I got a completely specd out one with a 6800u 16gb ram back-lit kb... everything Off Craigslist for $250 Thing is an absolute monster. It terrifies me when the 15w cpu igpu combo runs minecraft with max render distance without dipping below 60fps. Great build quality. Oh and the biggest thing to look for these days with laptops I whether or not it can PD charge. ...most non high end laptops can't and the fact that I can use a little battery pack to charge it all the way up in like 2 hours is a necessity in any laptop.
Just got this for $587 before Tax with free 2 day shipping through a discount I have through work. Can't wait to get it! It is on Black Friday sale so go get it!
I'm reading very conflicting reports about battery life on this. Some are saying one should expect around 5h of real time use, others 10. It's very confusing.
Thanks for the review! Question: How's the Wifi chip performance in this one? I've heard HP used the Realtek chip in this machine and it is not always consistent...did you notice any signal drops during your testing?
Real differences from this Hp Aero 13, vs the (mostly) commented here Macbook Air M1, from my point of view, that could make you go for the Aero. First - the matte screen, many of us prefer that. Second - more ports. Third - Windows environment, if you already know MacOS is not for you, or that both ecosystems can be good. Fourth - keyboard. good on both, but maybe, better for some of us, with HP. Fifth - weight; even though the Air is light, the Aero is lighter. Sixth - Clipboard option on Windows; many of us like that, that unfortunately Mac doesnt have natively, at least. Both laptops are good, and fortunately, have their differences.
One caveat for anyone who has this laptop, too much pressure on the lid to the keyboard while closed might leave keyboard marks on your screen, permanently.
Excuse me, would you recommend it for a medicine student? I won’t use it for anything besides some very light gaming and studying, but i need a computer that will last a couple of years at least, while performing adequately during that time, do you think this computer fits the bill? I would be getting the AMD 7 processor and 16/512 GB ram and memory.
If you want windows buy the swift x If you want mac os buy a macbook it's really that simple There's no comparison when you are picking laptops that run two different os You have to decide which OS is better for you and pick accordingly

@@nishatafroj880 Don't have this laptop (yet) but you want to have at least the wattage of the included AC Power Brick it came with. So no less than 45 watts. Someone commented that they use a 65 watt Anker USB-C charger and it charges very quickly for them. Again I haven't tried it myself but it may be good advice. Good day to you.
I know that the onboard RAM comes soldered. But does it have an extra RAM slot though? I'm ready to pull the trigger if it does. the 8Gb RAM ryzen 5 model is on sale now in my country. Thanks
Asus Vivobook S14 is better. Zenbooks are pricier because they are more premium, but the Vivobook S laptops are also premium-budget laptops like the Aero 13 - however the Vivobook S laptops are much more reliable because Asus laptops generally survive the longest. And Zenbook laptops sometimes come with software glitches and some design imperfections, maybe because they're so cutting edge, but probably because Asus can't really get their stuff together. I'd suggest you buy a specced-out Vivobook S14 with a Ryzen 7 5700U and 16GB RAM unless your budget allows you to buy something better
Or you can wait just 2-3 months until the new Ryzen 6000 series laptops come out. They will not only have a ~25% faster CPU but also a much better iGPU built on RDNA2 architecture instead of the already 5 year old but modified Vega architecture of the Ryzen 5000 series chips. I'd suggest you wait for that unless you really need to buy a new laptop right now
I purchased this pc and found when transfering files my ssd utilization is 100% and the pc is un-usable but the processsor and other things don't even take a hit at all.

I think this pc is on pci 3.0 and the firecuda is a 4.0 so i don't know if the 7000mb\s will actually have a significant jump in perfomance.

You stated the laptop was made of recycled plastic, but it’s a magnesium aluminum alloy. Not sure where you got that recycled ocean plastic from… It also has USB-C charging. That’s too many inaccuracies in one video.
HP only offers one with 1x2 Wi-Fi here. Can anyone explain the difference with 2x2? 1x2 seems non-existing on the internet.. And I’m also curious if I could upgrade it to 2x2, or if it’s missing 1 antenna..
weird that on the spec sheet it says the USB type C has power delivery so maybe it can also charge via usb? or maybe its a more recent version of this unit

Thanks for another great review! I have owned the same version of this HP Aero for just under a month and it DOES have USB-C charging support. I have used this method of charging almost exclusively since I bought it. I found that it needs a 45W or higher rated third-party power plug. I have had wifi issues though with poor throughput and dropped connections. Still not resolved and HP customer service, tech support have been -- how shall I say this -- not even close to helpful. I now know more about this machine than they do. I tried to confirm whether or not the motherboard provides Gen 4 for NVMe slot and as far as I can tell it does not. I believe it's Gen 3 (too bad). Do you and does anyone else know for sure? Nice price point for this total package but HP needs to improve it's support and product knowledge.
I received an update to my wifi driver about 3 weeks ago that fixed my similar connectivity issues! Hopefully a similar fix will work on your machine :)
it can also USB-C charge with a 30W brick too
I got a completely specd out one with a 6800u 16gb ram back-lit kb... everything
Off Craigslist for $250
Thing is an absolute monster. It terrifies me when the 15w cpu igpu combo runs minecraft with max render distance without dipping below 60fps.
Great build quality.
Oh and the biggest thing to look for these days with laptops I whether or not it can PD charge.
...most non high end laptops can't and the fact that I can use a little battery pack to charge it all the way up in like 2 hours is a necessity in any laptop.
Just got this for $587 before Tax with free 2 day shipping through a discount I have through work. Can't wait to get it!
It is on Black Friday sale so go get it!
Awesome review highlights the most important features we expect from a laptop.
Thank you for the detailed review!
I'm reading very conflicting reports about battery life on this. Some are saying one should expect around 5h of real time use, others 10. It's very confusing.
One thing I will say for HP laptops of late, sound is better than the laptops of yesteryear. So good for listening to media.
conclusion starts at 12:45
Thanks for the review!
Question: How's the Wifi chip performance in this one? I've heard HP used the Realtek chip in this machine and it is not always consistent...did you notice any signal drops during your testing?
I think this is like the only channel that I don’t skip through the sponsor segments lmao.
I'm using hp envy 13 right now, and it's working so well .
How would you recommend this from 0-10 (0 very bad and 10 very good)
@@fernandot988 10/10 for normal used..
Real differences from this Hp Aero 13, vs the (mostly) commented here Macbook Air M1, from my point of view, that could make you go for the Aero. First - the matte screen, many of us prefer that. Second - more ports. Third - Windows environment, if you already know MacOS is not for you, or that both ecosystems can be good. Fourth - keyboard. good on both, but maybe, better for some of us, with HP. Fifth - weight; even though the Air is light, the Aero is lighter. Sixth - Clipboard option on Windows; many of us like that, that unfortunately Mac doesnt have natively, at least. Both laptops are good, and fortunately, have their differences.
thankyou , i just bought this one on amazon sale :)
Mine is ordered with the 1600p display, I have not been able to find any professional reviews of that option but I took a chance on it. We'll see
How's it so far?
I bought it after watching your review
One caveat for anyone who has this laptop, too much pressure on the lid to the keyboard while closed might leave keyboard marks on your screen, permanently.
Should I go for M1 MacBook air or this ? Consider 8+256 for mac and 5600u+16+512 for hp aero
Never get the base model on Apple especially if you think you’re going to keep it for a few years.
That's actually an all-magnesium chassis. Not plastic.
I can imagine an HP Envy 14 with Ryzen 5 6000 and a 3050TI. Can't wait!
Can't recommend this laptop enough, really happy with my purchase. Hopefully it holds up.
any wifi issues? and if i use an usb wifi adapter instead of the onboard one, should everything be okay?
@@oxnyz1883 for me no wifi issues at all.
Excuse me, would you recommend it for a medicine student? I won’t use it for anything besides some very light gaming and studying, but i need a computer that will last a couple of years at least, while performing adequately during that time, do you think this computer fits the bill? I would be getting the AMD 7 processor and 16/512 GB ram and memory.
yes! Even in 2022 it's still a great value. My cousin just snagged one for a little over $700 🔥 (R7 5800U 16GB)
Worth watching
Good job sir
Very cool overview
thank you this was really helpful. but to be clear this runs games like valorant well?
Do you prefer this or the HP Pavillion 14 inch? (AMD RYZEN 5 version)
This video really help. Many Thanks 😊.
How about Acer Swift X
Ryzen 7 5800U with a dedicated GPU 3050ti, 16 Gigs RAM and 512 Gigs SSD, is it worth to buy compare to M1macbook air?
Get M1 MacBook Air.
Not worth it
If you want windows buy the swift x
If you want mac os buy a macbook it's really that simple
There's no comparison when you are picking laptops that run two different os
You have to decide which OS is better for you and pick accordingly
its worth if you need that 3050ti
@@arushh42 Stop spamming.
I don't want this thing get popularity here by any local youtubers because it will skyrocketed its price through the roof.
Is the screen matte/antiglare? How does it compare to a Macbook in terms of glare?
So can you charge via USB-C port if you have the cord? I know it comes with barrel charger but I think you should be able to charge USB-C
Hi there. I am planning to get samsung 65w type c pd charger. Will it charge. I remember before 1 year when I purchased I wanted to make sure it charges with type c pd. Just want to confirm 65w type c charger would work.
hey, i need some suggestions
should i go for legion 7 with 32GB of ram, bundled with (legion armored backpack, m500 mouse, and h300 headset) which is 100 USD more expensive or a legion 5 pro with 16GB of ram bundled with (legion recon backpack, m300 mouse, and h300 headset), and the rest of the specifications are the same
I would definitely pick Legion 7
legion 7, more premium and twice the RAM
I would ask them how much TDP limit is on the RTX. More TDP = better in terms of performance.
Your also need to try MSI Modern 14. It's a very solid budget laptop.
8:14 I have an envy 17 with the same rubber strips, and just upgarded memory and ssd. Actually if you peel off those rubber strips slowly you can put them back in just as new.
How would this stack up against my current 2017 Dell XPS 13 (8th gen, Core i5)? The Dell 9360 has been great, but I'm thinking of replacing it with something similarly portable and hopefully a bit more powerful. I'd be doing Office, DAW (Studio One), and hobbyist-level video editing in Davinci Studio and Topaz VEAI.
does this laptop have windows hello face id? thanks great review
@HARDWARE CANUCKS
What laptop would you buy if you wanted it? Future proof? I want around 500 knit display, 32 gigs RAM half terabyte of storage. Or more? I've been looking at the Lenovo X1 carbon. What would you recommend? I like having all the security on the Lenovo the v. Pro version? Or is there another laptop you recommend? I like good build quality. Like I said making it last for years. Upwards of 10
10 years ?, you're better off spending less but upgrading after 5 years imo
Good for gaming?
Any idea on the to be released Lenovo Yoga 7 Pro (16')? I think it might be a worthy competitor to the already well valued Aero 13.
@@bdsuf Yeah, I got acknowledged recently that it was at least 1300 Euros.
How do you guys measure keyboard actuation force? How many grams is needed to have press of button?
Is it still worth to These days?
Nice video brother
How is the wifi performance I saw in many hp forums, flipkart, Amazon and in hp official reviews Posted that weak wifi signal reception.

According to HP's website the USB-C port can be used for charging, are you sure this is not the case?
Nope doesn't charge

Does it charge over USB C? Please talk about this with every thin and light laptop review.
Otherwise great review
For me I'd still get the Huawei matebook 14 due screen aspect ratio and better speakers
Yes it does
@@jman000 will 30 watt type c cable will be enough to charge this laptop
@@nishatafroj880 Don't have this laptop (yet) but you want to have at least the wattage of the included AC Power Brick it came with. So no less than 45 watts. Someone commented that they use a 65 watt Anker USB-C charger and it charges very quickly for them. Again I haven't tried it myself but it may be good advice. Good day to you.
Silver keys and white backlight is a no go
Cost in Indian rupees ???
Hey Eber, what exactly happen in Rainbow Six Siege when a system "Failed"?
Intel integrated graphics have issues with the game atm

Pity this isn't available in Canada yet (except for the lower 8gb model from Costco)
is it good for graphic designing and minor video editing?
I have used blender and photoshop runs smoothly
I know that the onboard RAM comes soldered. But does it have an extra RAM slot though? I'm ready to pull the trigger if it does. the 8Gb RAM ryzen 5 model is on sale now in my country. Thanks
@@zaandam0172 what a bummer. Everything other than that is perfect
Actually the usb c can be used for charging .
hello is this good for video and graphics editing? i'm a media arts students who's looking for a laptop good for editing. thank you!
Can anyone tell me Pavilion Aero 13 better, or Asus Zenbook14 better? Very appreciate 🙏🏻
Asus Vivobook S14 is better. Zenbooks are pricier because they are more premium, but the Vivobook S laptops are also premium-budget laptops like the Aero 13 - however the Vivobook S laptops are much more reliable because Asus laptops generally survive the longest. And Zenbook laptops sometimes come with software glitches and some design imperfections, maybe because they're so cutting edge, but probably because Asus can't really get their stuff together. I'd suggest you buy a specced-out Vivobook S14 with a Ryzen 7 5700U and 16GB RAM unless your budget allows you to buy something better
Or you can wait just 2-3 months until the new Ryzen 6000 series laptops come out. They will not only have a ~25% faster CPU but also a much better iGPU built on RDNA2 architecture instead of the already 5 year old but modified Vega architecture of the Ryzen 5000 series chips. I'd suggest you wait for that unless you really need to buy a new laptop right now
I purchased this pc and found when transfering files my ssd utilization is 100% and the pc is un-usable but the processsor and other things don't even take a hit at all. My question is if i put the fastest ssd possible in here will my performance at least be better. I think this pc is on pci 3.0 and the firecuda is a 4.0 so i don't know if the 7000mb\s will actually have a significant jump in perfomance. Has anyone upgraded the nvme drive to a faster one and what was you experience?
The complete informer ❤️👍
I am ordering it tommorow, wish it doesn't sell out by then 🤞
Don't, get the Zenbook or a Mac if possible. Even the swift x

Guys, get this if you're in the market for a thin and light. This starts for 580$ on hp site now.
Can it preform best in software like solidwork and cad ect
You stated the laptop was made of recycled plastic, but it’s a magnesium aluminum alloy. Not sure where you got that recycled ocean plastic from…
It also has USB-C charging. That’s too many inaccuracies in one video.
Can i use this laptop for stock market trading?
Yes
HP only offers one with 1x2 Wi-Fi here. Can anyone explain the difference with 2x2? 1x2 seems non-existing on the internet.. And I’m also curious if I could upgrade it to 2x2, or if it’s missing 1 antenna..
weird that on the spec sheet it says the USB type C has power delivery so maybe it can also charge via usb? or maybe its a more recent version of this unit
the speakers are pretty damn good
Please suggest in the future on sub 2000 dollar thin and light gaming laptops
Does it get hot when we connect an external monitor?
To get to the bottom screws just peel up a little on each side.
Aiyayaya, if this has a thunderbolt port so I can use a single cable display and charging set up, then this is THE LAPTOP
1 TB is available?
