I never thought I would see a day where a Macbook would destroy the entire ultra book market in performance, build quality, software support, screen, speakers, and price at $899.99.
Unfortunately, new macbooks can't run Windows natively. If they could, I'd have no problem using them but since they can't, Windows ultrabooks have a GREAT selection you can choose from, whereas it's 2 laptops from apple
@@elodgubcsi You don’t buy a MacBook for Window’s to begin with though. I used to use Windows and then once I tried MacOS I’m never going back. Never have any software issues and everything just works. There’s a reason why at my university 90% of people had a MacBook. They are such good computers. The only competitive ultra book I can think of right now would Samsung’s new Pro Laptop.
@@ios759 they do have competitive speakers in comparable sizes as well as easily competitive screens. You can't compare 2.5k mac pro displays with 1k machines unless you're a massive fanboy, which I guess you are.
I daily drive a dragonfly (with a 4k? screen), and it was more or less a hand-me-down from the previous guy that had the job. I work as an internal IT consultant in a large production facility, and I hardly do any ressource heavy work on it, (that's placed in the virtual server environment) and it's perfectly fine for that. The screen is definitely trash in regards of lights if you have to look at it for long. But then again, if you're doing long-hours writing on this one, you'd be immediately more annoyed by the tiny size, and if you're doing spreadsheet work or similar, you'd be more annoyed of the lack of a keypad. It fits my line of work where I sit most of the time at my desk, where this is connected by a single USB-c cable to my dock, and driving a couple of 1440p displays. Then, in a meeting or when someone in the factory needs help, I'll just snap it out of the dock and I'll have my handy little workstation with me. It hardly makes any noise as well, unless you reach the point of it going nuts. Like if you actually want it to process something demanding. Then it'll just go all bonkers and the battery will drain much faster. Then when I go back home, I might sit in bed and watch something, but I've more or less stopped doing that, as it's just annoying. If I want to use it as a tablet, the speakers are now on the back of the device, and audio is muffled, so I'm guessing tablet mode is for reading only. But then there's the light/screen issue In-bag detection? Is that something you have to enable? So far it haven't worked on mine. I have multiple times taken it out of the bag some hours later and it's just STEAMING. Or even the next day. I mean impressive that's it's not dead or the battery have hold up, but it haven't shut off itself. Audio is just.... I mean incredible. That being said, my workplace is owned by Altor, which is this huge investment group, which... also own HP, and Altor partners get HP products like... ~30% cheaper? than market prices I think. (Or at least we did when products were available.) which puts it in a much different product tier. Long story short, it's a neat little PC, and it does what I need in a laptop. It's made to do small tasks, like connecting to a bunch of servers from wherever I am, which allowing me to be really mobile if I need that in an entire day. The monitor is really the only drawback, but like I said, used in USB-C dock with an external monitor... really negates the issue.
macbooks have their own issues that have to do with thermals, software, etc. But overall, I'd agree, in a market with the m1 devices the product needs to be REALLY good to even compete.
you can get this laptop without 5G and without the "sure view" display. it comes out to $600 cheaper which make sit very competitive with other high end laptops that also lack those features.
They are the two USPs for this device, without them it is an overpriced mess with an average display and low power chip. At $1700 there would be far better options. Of course no sensible consumer will buy this, strictly for business where they do deals with HP for a company contract.
The screen on this laptop is poor, but it's not meant to look amazing, it's meant to be private. They make a regular IPS screen, or even a 4K OLED option if you go for the G2 model. It's a speciality pick that makes it worse for other use cases.
Dude this is an unboxing not a review, what you are asking for is a pretty Linus type review thing , unboxing is just first impressions and how it feels and performs as a new machine , generally there's not too much critisism
If it's a full magnesium chassis, even a recycled one, that honestly justifies it all. The thunderbolt, Snapdragon and the panel are also not at all cheap.
When the say "the screen ruins it" I think they make it pretty clear whether or not it is worth the money. Do you really need it spelled out any further?
HP frustrates me deeply. I've had great experiences with their high end hardware (the software, not so much) but not NEARLY great enough to justify their ludicrous pricing. All their actually-well-engineered products are the top-tier enterprise grade ones where an additional few hundred dollars per unit will in theory get lost in the shuffle of a Fortune 500 megacorp buying pallets of the things for upper management. The end result is extremely desirable laptops that are priced a good $500+ higher than comparable units. Makes me tear chunks of my hair out.
They are an insane deal used though. I got a Probook 445 G7 w/ a r5-4500u, 32gb ram, 512ssd for 200$ in like-new condition, while the original MSRP of this thing was around 1100$
I like how LMG has started using MT/s after Dr Cutress' video. When everyone in a discussion come from a genuine perspective, the outcome of the discussion will often include changed minds
3:37 I mean even if its only during the advertising, maybe do the cut to HIDE the putting away of the phone that Alex was clearly reading his script from.
And it`s even cheaper. But yeah people still say Apple is overpriced ...... Apple has with the Air the best Ultrabook bey Price and what it delivers. If u don´t need Windows.
4:46 Did they pay you for the title then ? Because, what I hear you saying is it is a super expensive laptop. With an "Ok" processor. No GPU. Intel not AMD on board graphics. A Screen that looks like ASS. With a super smudgy finish? So, I am thinking they paid you for the title but not enough to give them a good review. But, I guess that is why it is such and expensive laptop. They had to pay for the Title.
@@-SP. that is a good point and if you are not looking for business device the Razer is a good option. In HP's defense it is a business grade device with 3 year warranty and in Australia is cheaper than Razer and with 4k laptop screen, Razer has 2k screen, but smaller 512GB NVMe Vs 1TB on Razer. :)
About the weight, I think you didn't read it correctly: it's 1.163 kg, not 1.63 kg And the cheaper version (with a i5-1135G7) is around 2000 euro ($1999 VAT included ?)
Yesterday I bought a Lenovo exactly like that for 550 bucks, and has a Ryzen 5 4500u and a gtx 1650 (mobile). Way fucking better, and surprisingly battery lasts a whole lot for a gaming PC, about 4 hours of gaming in 1080p ultra in Alien Isolation, TF2 and valorant. Way better deal, and I promise screen is great but it's also a fingerprint magnet, however don't buy that shitm
The headphones you showed is about 400 dollars in india. How about making a video on comparing price of few products in a few different countries. That will be very entertaining 🙂
To be honest HP will never do better than the HP Elite X2. It's super easy to repair or replace almost everything and speedy, plus much smaller and lighter.

@@nitePhyyre I mean. I want to know if there is really 2k worth of tech in there or if HP is just being dumb
Yesterday it was Linus, today Alex, seems like HP is paying a lot to LTT these days.
Video was sponsored by Corsair, pretty sure HP didn't do anything but send the laptop to them for free if anything
HP frustrates me deeply. I've had great experiences with their high end hardware (the software, not so much) but not NEARLY great enough to justify their ludicrous pricing. All their actually-well-engineered products are the top-tier enterprise grade ones where an additional few hundred dollars per unit will in theory get lost in the shuffle of a Fortune 500 megacorp buying pallets of the things for upper management. The end result is extremely desirable laptops that are priced a good $500+ higher than comparable units. Makes me tear chunks of my hair out.
They are an insane deal used though. I got a Probook 445 G7 w/ a r5-4500u, 32gb ram, 512ssd for 200$ in like-new condition, while the original MSRP of this thing was around 1100$
So shit unusable screen, shit specs for an insanely high price... Yup, sounds "almost perfect" to me.
Title: Almost Perfect
Laptop: Shit
I like how LMG has started using MT/s after Dr Cutress' video. When everyone in a discussion come from a genuine perspective, the outcome of the discussion will often include changed minds
@Oh Yeah please stop preaching religious stuff. This is a tech channel, not church
This guy is like the friend that comes at your house and wants to destroy your stuff just because you have it and he does not.
When you think they record their sponsor spots separate to the video and then u see Alex putting away his phone right at the end of it
Are you going to review the new dell xps 15 9510?
The music in the background sounds like something you could make from the club penguin DJ area, especially at the beginning.
2:36 Looks like Dr. Cutress did pull through at the end
I will love it if they used amd ryzen
Not everyone can afford an xps anyway
its not a xps btw
This is more expensive than the XPS.
3:37 I mean even if its only during the advertising, maybe do the cut to HIDE the putting away of the phone that Alex was clearly reading his script from.
"it's pretty speedy if you don't need to do a whole lot" well for a 2300$ people want to do a whole lot with their laptops
There are actually people that i know didn't do much on their high end laptop.
@@soslo2118 well then they waste thier money.
Sometimes ppl like to show how much money they have or would like to have. Otherwise who would buy MacBook before M1?
@@tangocash342 People who like macOS?
trust me, those "executive" don't do enough shit on their laptop, they just want expensive laptop to feel important
Alex - "Supple"
Me - Knees weaken
Yay! More Alex!
It might be the editing, but in the Crabrave test, the HP sounded better than the Dell to me.
Something we never expected to say: For much less than that price, you can buy a MacBook Pro M1, which is faster, and with a better screen.
I paid that for a laptop, but it has an RTX 3070 :/
I don't understand why anyone would buy this HP
Great review. Thanks!
3:56 haha xD This is what I always think.
Your imperial system is defined by the metric system.
A macbook air would blow this out of the water though in almost every way.
And it`s even cheaper. But yeah people still say Apple is overpriced ...... Apple has with the Air the best Ultrabook bey Price and what it delivers. If u don´t need Windows.
And there is company’s like this that get away with it
4:46 Did they pay you for the title then ? Because, what I hear you saying is it is a super expensive laptop. With an "Ok" processor. No GPU. Intel not AMD on board graphics. A Screen that looks like ASS. With a super smudgy finish? So, I am thinking they paid you for the title but not enough to give them a good review. But, I guess that is why it is such and expensive laptop. They had to pay for the Title.
Of course they're paid
He did say it's the best laptop in that size on the market. With a horrible screen that drags it down.
It's just a clickbait title that people actually click on because of it.
So blame people for liking such titles.
"Supple bottom of the travel" that was unexpected
Alex: "Oh, Mousepad, LTTStore.com"
Me: *Cries in Out of Stock*
Ok but for real though, the last video showcase about HP laptop on LTT is pure bollocks
Huh? What do you mean
I think, "showcase" means it's a paid-for ad. Yeah, go figure :)
If the screen is bad, this laptop has already failed. It doesn't worth even one third of its very high price.
but PrIvAcY
If HP gave us a 16:10, 15" version of this with a decent WQHD screen I would 100% buy it.
Alex one of my favorite reviewers, he should do more videos. Only honesty from him.
Over 2 grand, the screen is seemingly unusable and yet it’s rated highly. Talk about grading on a curve…
Best 13 Inch speaker; meanwhile MacBook Pro - Hold my beer
I have it with 4k screen option. Is perfect.
For that price point I would rather just get a Razer Blade 14 which destroys this in almost every way and slightly cheaper
@@-SP. that is a good point and if you are not looking for business device the Razer is a good option. In HP's defense it is a business grade device with 3 year warranty and in Australia is cheaper than Razer and with 4k laptop screen, Razer has 2k screen, but smaller 512GB NVMe Vs 1TB on Razer. :)
7:00 oh god that portal 2 wallpaper. Love it
Damn, I never saw LTT in this light. They really want those HP dollas.
Although tbh, this video is far more unbiased in comparison to Linus's sponsored video. Alex is great
This one isn't sponsored by HP :p
"Don't quote me on that"
-Alex 2021 😈
That oh yeah goes pretty well with the music😏
Eagerly awaiting the day I see the upload of Alex having a look at the Framework Laptop
4:00 imperial units just got burned man....
Not to mention 1.63kg isn’t 2 and a half pounds…
@@morrislazootin9426 it's actually 1.163kg. He said it wrong.
That background music is:
- irritating,
- loud and annoying.
Are they trying to beat Apple ?
" Yesterday's tech in Tomorrow's Price "
No thunderbolt on both sides? An unfortunate omission
“Apple laptops are so expensive”
> Any other Windows laptops in the same category:
Not to mention that Apple actually has 2560x1600 display.
It's still about double the weight of the Acer Swift 7. And even more expensive.
I love how we have the same issue with the XPS 15 with it overheating in bags on sleep so you have to manually hibernate it 😂
About the weight, I think you didn't read it correctly: it's 1.163 kg, not 1.63 kg
And the cheaper version (with a i5-1135G7) is around 2000 euro ($1999 VAT included ?)
Yesterday I bought a Lenovo exactly like that for 550 bucks, and has a Ryzen 5 4500u and a gtx 1650 (mobile). Way fucking better, and surprisingly battery lasts a whole lot for a gaming PC, about 4 hours of gaming in 1080p ultra in Alien Isolation, TF2 and valorant. Way better deal, and I promise screen is great but it's also a fingerprint magnet, however don't buy that shitm
I guarantee when he said, it has only a quad core intel CPU, 50% of the people left the video there.
My lady washed my gold xbox controller shirt. Its now a stealth xbox controller shirt.
Umm, am I the only one who was completely blown away by the mic quality of the Pixel 5?
Why the hell is a quad core intel ultrabook 2265 USD? Not justified in the slightest.
Because it's Shitel.
Exactly even the new Razer blade 14 with a 3070 is slightly cheaper
hello everybody
Hi Benny it's everybody
The Corsair ad sounded like a tongue twister for Alex. Corsair should write better marketing lines.
That reflection of the controller on your shirt is pretty nice tho
The headphones you showed is about 400 dollars in india. How about making a video on comparing price of few products in a few different countries. That will be very entertaining 🙂
Why would anyone love a laptop that has a trash screen, integrated graphics, no 16:10 aspect ratio for that kind of money lol.
To be honest HP will never do better than the HP Elite X2. It's super easy to repair or replace almost everything and speedy, plus much smaller and lighter.
I don't get why this costs so much compared to say a Lenovo Slim 7 which is one third of the price
What the hell are ya paying for here?! Cause it damn sure ain't hardware with only 4 cores and iris graphics!!!
Every second of this laptop revoew infuriates me, horrible value.
It isn't a review. Just an unboxing/first look/showcase. The main channel is where they put their full reviews.
@@kentdeterding9333 i am aware mate, but the specs alone for that price are enough to make any tech enthusiast angry.
@@YourLocalCafeYeah, a laptop is a lot more than a spec sheet though and it looks like this one gets that stuff right.
@@kentdeterding9333 true dat, but this laptop really isnt for me. But it might be for you, understandably so.
Also love that Alex doesnt hide that he is reading his copy on his phone lol
Considering how tiny Ankers power bricks are, it's stupid how huge that 65w power brick is. Like come in guys.
