Someone is FINALLY taking AMD seriously! Linus is not :D
linus papa
Its all good (:
Intel : At least our Notebook lines are safe
AMD : Peace was never an option
*[Honks at Intel]*
Hi
You actually made me laugh outloud ! XD it feels so good to see Intel being roughed in the dirt. They have been such Douchebags over the years milking each and every generation!
Linus: "...you should never, ever, stack a bunch of laptops like this..."
Every IT department: "Is that a challenge!?"
As a worker for a it department... I can confirm this
Same. We've had Elitebooks stacked 10+ high for years with no issues.
@@ppmguire Only 10? Those are rookie numbers :p
@@ppmguire You need to pump up them numbers son
@@pylotlight Short and wide shelving can only hold 10 high. 10 rows of 10 for checkout.
HP is really giving Lenovo a run for their money with this one. Upgradable RAM is huge
Also worth mentioning that the keyboard - same on all the Ryzen/Intel 8th gen and up Elitebook/Probooks - is the best I've ever used. Literally like typing on velvet.
And I've been refurbishing laptops in the past few years, so I know a thing or two about keyboards.
I was waiting for Lenovo 5 14", but damn HP. I hope it won't be out of stock like other amd laptops.
Dude, lenovo have dual channel now. Including their 800usd laptops. I have the ryzen 5 4600h variant.
I had a Elitebook 840 G1 first and it was so easy to upgrade and clean (even easier than G7) and then moved to Lenovo X1 Carbon. The X1 Carbon better quality but less flexible and you pay a premium price for it. I just wish Lenovo would release an X1 Carbon without soldered RAM. Btw Dell also supports upgradable RAM in their Latitude series.
Wait till you find out lenovo owns hp lol, these people are slick.
3:27 the 4750U is 8 Cores 16 Threads, small typo.
That makes more sense, though I was reaaaalllyy intrigued for a second, since didn't know there was a U model above the 4700u. I didn't know if it was some bizarre big.LITTLE configuration or just a typo.
@@Churchgrimm it's possible the 4750U is actually similar to the desktop Ryzen PRO 4750G variant with enhanced security features...
QA asleep as usual
@@randyravener That would be cool. I looked into the Pro desktop APUs just now, and I can see why features like memory encryption would be desirable for laptops in professional and enterprise spheres, if the 4750u does in fact support it.
@@Churchgrimm Its only for enterprise laptops not general consumer ones bcz it supports some instructions required for extra security and some architecture level security features.
I like the fact that HP still uses memory slots rather than soldering the RAM chip into motherboard.
What's first upgrade when it's slows ? Ram...
Not all of hp laptops have upgradable dim slots.
But I will admit that the hp service team are amazing. You
Yea so u can upgrade it I also once upgraded my hdd, that's why I love up laptops
Those are business laptop. They will murder you if you didn't provide any use replaceable feature such as RAM slots
@@MrWillypanda88 they also makes at least e 1 upgradable slot on Envy and Spectre series and I think that it's an easier way to fix user's problems (except Apple who will sell you a new one...)
"It's so nice to see AMD treated nicely."
*Building a laptop tower*
HP needs to simplify their lines. So much overlap and needless confusion.
These are not theirs. They just picked a bunch of models they know nothing about at a computer show in China.
@@ASPushkin51 wtf😂 no
I used to work for HP and there are a couple of reasons for why they have large product lineups. First, they sell well over 60 million computers a year which means the customer range of needs is wide and varied. Second, larger lineups create variances which make it more difficult for the average consumer to make direct price comparisons between HP products and their competitors.
@@summerrr1 You probably were not exposed to the internal workings of Laptop business. HP comes to the scene when all decisions about design, components, reliability, etc. are already made by Taiwaneese. They can either accept the production model for distribution or pass. Accordingly, if there is a fault in the design, they know nothing about troubleshooting it. It is not a product designed and made by them.
@@summerrr1 So based on that, seems Apple needs to have multiple products lines with at least 18 variations of each. And only then will Apple be successful.
Imagine having to send an influencer 4 laptops because you know they’ll drop 3.
An unintentional drop test.
influencer?
the_Haakinton 89 Stupid term for Internet personalities with large followings
@@Xakslied I know who influencers are but hows linus one, he's more like a journalist.
the_Haakinton 89 Nah with the amount of effort they put into marketing and advertising I’d say they fit the bill of a business heavy influencer, they may make legit reviews but Linus is openly subscribed to the “content is king” philosophy.
"Is that a TN panel? In 2020? That would be embarrassing!"
Lenovo: Uh ...
Yeah, this is stupid. I love everything about this laptop... except the monitor.
It has a normal IPS panel and an additional privacy filter
It's privacy filter while maintaining good color accuracy
@@lmaovertigo They still sell $1000 laptops with TN panels, although there are options to spec them out with IPS instead.

@@Nighterlev Lmao wake up, it's 2020, my grandma can use Linux.
See, this is the great thing about competition, we strive forward through innovation. If it weren't for AMD being a torn for Intel's arrogance, we wouldn't get an 8 core powered CPUs. So thanks to AMD.

"never ever store laptops on top of one another"
- Glances in the store room at work with stacks of laptops one on top of one another
- Whoops
It's just a bad idea if someone leans on the stack
You should advise someone to store the laptops with a safer method. Laptops don't have a very wide base, they aren't all the same size and laptops are extremely fragile. If that stack falls over the place you work at will be devastated.
Same thing at my workplace, coincidentally all HP laptops which we are switching to.
Stack them spine down standing vertical. Use Foam separators if necessary.
I have my students' laptop in my room stacked 🙈🙈
3:22 Ahh yes, AMD's patented 1.5-threads-per-core technology.
hol up
Yeah I noticed as well, it's 16 threads right?
@@lukas_ls it is 8c/16t
_lk_s you are the type to trust whatever reviewers say aren’t ya
I was like... how could he even say those words and it make sense to him... RIP Linus
Linus remains charming after all these years. "we dont sell resin tables Andy"
The fact that the ram isn't soldered is enough of a reason for me.
"Never ever stack laptops" proceeds to slam one on the table

What all the models have in common: "Out of stock"
Yeah I got one of these a whole ago. Was sold out 30 minutes after I ordered
Almost like HP didn't have faith in AMD. LMAO
@@A_Box i think it's more a problem on availability of the amd cpus
@@A_Box they have faith but they makes lots of mistakes with AMD drivers and other stuffs. Like they are really cool machines but then you find bugs, fans loud...
@@julianharris8843 how much did you pay for your configuration? Thanks
_never ever stack laptops on top of each other!_
Every other repair shop: He dont know what he talking about.
After doing a heap of research I bought myself a Ryzen-based HP Envy X360 earlier this year. Powerful, slick, and upgradeable with no stupid soldered-in RAM. Absolutely no regrets - HP is the premiere laptop vendor for 2020.
Strangely enough, watching LTT has become my quarantine habit in my time at home. Keep up the good work guys.
@@bradhaines3142 well to be honest I'm not - still going to work but just limiting my exposure at all other times, so "quarantine" (just easier to refer to it as that).
@@bradhaines3142 Better question, why the hell aint you trying to stay safe? Covid hasnt just dissapeared because people are tired of staying indoors.
Wish I could do the quarantine thing. Literally nothing has changed for me this whole year. Now I'm just wearing a mask while doing it lol
Same
Brad Haines hey look at me guys I’m your average COVID fake gonna run around without a mask guy.
Me: How private could it possible be?
Seller: You won't know if its on.
Me: Bought.
even the fans won't spin
lol
HP like: "Property of HP"
Linus like: "Yeah this is most likely to end up in my backpack"
That's just for the battery. Not the laptop
@@MR2769514381 you had to spoil the joke
Their EliteBooks are actually really good. I bought one back in 2014 and I still have it to this day. Pretty great laptop, still powerful enough for doing work on the go
If only HP made an x360 gaming / productivity rig
Edit: When I say gaming, I don't mean like high refresh rate screens etc, I just mean like a high powered productivity x360 laptop that has a good gpu
doubt that will happen, don't think we are at the level where we can produce gaming level response and refresh rate and productivity level colour accuracy with touch screen monitors at that size. X360 laptops are pretty much guaranteed to have touchscreens
Yeah I agree with azuresflames, that would be the best thing ever but with that thin frame the heat produced with a GTX would and CPU would be it’s weak point
They do, the Zbook Studio X360 G5, configurable up to a i7-9850H or Xeon E-2186M
Either 1080p60 or 4K Dreamcolor display (recommend the dreamcolor, it's color reproduction is insane)
The best GPU you currently can get with them is a Quadro P2000 though. Gotta make sacrifices to keep them that slim and have decent cooling.
Yeah I would love a 4300U with an MX450 or similar setup in a 14" 360 2in1, would make my day. still hopefull about new tigerlake cpu's with their igpu perf tho, looks pretty solid for a "allrounder 2in1".
closest I have become to find my "perfect laptop" has been an old yoga with gtx1050 and a 7gen intel cpu. does anyone know other 2in1 with decent gpu horsepower?
Jokes aside it's pretty crazy how we can have laptops now that have 8 cores inside them.
Ok
Ikr

damn i’m early
Why would you come back and start doing useless things just to get likes?
“You are to never ever stack laptops on top of each other”
Laughs in enterprise device management
Holy shit, they actually put some serious love into the design! Not disappointed by my decision to buy some of their stock the other day.
Note: This is NOT a stock endorsement, always do your own due diligence!
I’ve never seen an adjustable privacy filter like that. That’s actually pretty cool.
I'm using HP spectre and you do lose quite a bit, as it's quite bad when looking at angles (with the privacy mode turned of), especially when the background is bright (Word, OneNote).
Also, it's not perfect, if the environment isn't bright, you can see very dim image even from a big angle.
All privacy screens are like that tho, the screen quality suffers abit so only get it if you really need it
@@ariuss3009 I am using a Elitebook 840 G5 in my work and aside for some rainbow effect the viewing angels are as good as with a model without the privacy screen. You are right about the effectiveness in bright environment, though.
HP introduced this a few years back
@@sushimshah2896 I would opt out of that thing if I had one of the bigger screens because it affects the screen viewing angles when the feature is turned off. Smaller screens you always are scrunched up next to.
Literally thought I was watching Short Circuit because of the set.
I didn't realize this was NOT Short Circuit until I read your comment. Funny how just a set can create bias...
Haha, same. I didn't even check the channel either until a saw your comment.
I only knew because the intro rolled, lol
@@AMalas I must have been on auto-pilot and skipped the intro automatically but that's a good point!
I thought the same! It felt like one too.
2:06 Man he roasted me without even knowing it
I'm happy with the HP ENVY x360 I ordered a few years ago from them. This was the *first* widely available consumer laptop with AMD Ryzen in it. Glad to see it's gone favorable.
Earlier
AMD: Low Performance, Great Price
Now
AMD: Great performance, LoW price.
"great price" and "low price" are the same thing though
fghsgh reread the whole thing
@@ssadisfyingg no, _you_ reread the whole thing
Yeah, ... a low price is a great price .... you guys got this ....
Low stock
I like to think that whenever Linus needs another laptop he just calls HP and says he'll do a sponsored video for them
Ok
Noooo this guy is back
Hi
How do we know you're not HP
Oh no, even LTT
"We don't carry resin tables Andy"
That was epic!!!! 😂😂😂😂
after years of macbooks i am jealous for this ease of maintenance, upgradeability, possibility to clean from dust.. if only they looked a bit nicer.
"Don't ever store laptops on top of each other" -remembers the cabinets and shelves full of stacks of 4 - 6 new laptops at previous jobs- hmmm...
Looking for am explanation to this... I've never had issues stacking my laptops.. never while they charge though (heat = bad)... but to store? Why not?
@@LiquidZero_ The only thing I can think of is that if you apply enough weight from other stacked devices you can apply pressure to their screens.. but I've never had an issue in my five years of Inventory Management / Deployment with stacking 5 or so devices atop each other while pending deployment or just storing for replacements.
I guess, there are small bushes around the screen that prevent the keyboard keys from touching the screen. Laptops which have been used for some time tend to have these bushes pushed inside leaving the keys touching the screen when closed. They leave marks on the screen which won't go without using some chemicals. Maybe stacking the laptops will increase the aging of these bushes causing harm for the screen
This is very relatable.. We stacked those Elitebooks 745 G6's with 4-5 on top of each other. You did feel them flex a little when lifting them all o.O
@@LiquidZero_ also had issues with stacking laptops where the screen detectors/magnets that detect whether the screen is up or closed have issues. You open the screen of a laptop on top of a laptop and it takes the screen signal off the bottom one, and screen doesn't turn on cause it thinks it's closed.
That built-in privacy screen is gonna come in handy, when you’re casually playing games in the office without people knowing 😂
You cant play games on this elite book because my moms office also uses this same laptop and we cant do anything except ms office
well.. i am rather diappointed by HP because their hardware is not too up to spec compared to the price. .. but then again, i would preffer a loose motherboard in a drawer :D
One handed, under your desk...
where is our avengers reference here?
@@premashetty6469 I don't think that's an elite book feature, it probably just has the option to install apps from outside the windows store disabled or something
The HP AMD laptop currently having significant issues with their sound driver. My kids have been using the laptop and for their online learning and we have to hard reset multiple times a day to fix the sound. My kids are missing out in class because of sound issues and unfortunately no support from HP. You can find more users with “loud buzzing sound” issues on the internet.
edward ng Yep same issue on the envy x360

kumbandit resin tables? Are you talking about what I think you are, time to plug some merch.
Why do people do this
"They told me it's ok to break out the toolkit and crack it open" .... like them saying no would've made a difference >_
Actually it would, if it's a review sample they send. He would have to get his own to tear it down if it was he case.
@@Derael Also this wasn't a review but a sponsored video, in which case HP pretty much gets to decide what makes the cut and what doesn't.
Forgot to mention an important feature for business laptops. The Ryzen chips doesn't support Thunderbolt for common Dock support :(
0:32 I watched the full thing in one sitting. Very informative, straight to the point, conversational. Thank you.
Cannot wait to see these as off-lease refurb deals. Also the think pad style stick is just fantastic for an office user.
Trying to get some precision work done on a plane/train/car/bus/mule, the pointer nipple is a godsend!
i never had a laptop with a nipple, what is so good about it?
@@fadelpw511 easier reach when typing and navigating in tight spaces (like an airplane or train seat tray, or the seat of a car/van/bus) and better precision in similar situations. Its one of those things you never really know how it could be useful until you've had one. Definitely not essential for most people, especially for general consumers, but for field work and a lot of traveling professional settings, it's amazing!
In what kind of timeframe could we expect this?
The old hp laptops including the amd a series processors were devastating to even use, glad to see this jump in performance
Oh man don't remind me of my A4-5000 that I used for 5 years
An amd A6 laptop may seem slow to you. But it was miles ahead than i5 6th gen with 2 cores and terrible integrated graphics
If I remember correctly, I owned a laptop with a6-4400m processor. It was amazing. I used to game on it so much. Years later, I would fire it up when my intel laptop wouldn't boot to get some files for recovery. And then I realised the old A6 would hit 100 °C when gaming, (Idk how I gamed so much on hot summer days without it melting).
A series from AMD will always be my hero. (Especially cause I'm poor)
@@prateekpanwar646 the i5 was still faster I'm single and multi threaded loads and the igpu was only just slower, those old A4s and A6s just had really weak cores and low base clocks
Flashbacks to Windows Vista era AMD laptop omg that was crap
When you got this just for online school cause they were out of everything and now you have an amazing computer
To whoever designed the casing for Elitebook 845, I literally cut myself with the sharp corners so really good job guys...
3:26 "8 core 12 thread" that doesn't seem right...
i had to check it. It has 8c 16t
Now I wonder if they couldn't disable SMT on just a few cores to get better single-threaded performance for certain workloads.
Ik
I think they mixed the hyper thread of a hexa with a octa
Rocket Lake I7s might actually get 8cores and 12threads, was already possible with the 10th Generation but since Intel has to go back to 8cores/16threads with the I9 RKL cause of Heat and Power Consumption, and the i5 has to stay at 6Cores/12Threads to dont be DOA, Intel is forced to bring a 8core 12Thread I7 😁
“We don’t resin tables andy”
I’m just like.... wat.
Andy said "buy a new one at lttstore" and Linus thought he was talking about buying a new table there
TheZerok666 🗿
🐈🦁
Im an IT trainee at High School and our teachers / staff use Probooks, they are such fantastic computers that there is really nothing I can fault the computers for.
I was looking for an AMD Linux laptop, these models are now in my list, specially the elitebook. Also very recommendable by it's repairabilty, HP did it really well.
Agree! The Elitebook is mighty nice + it has trackpoint (a.k.a pointing nipple) ... though the ProBook 445 G7 is also very interesting for its Wired LAN (no need for dongle to connect with cables to the switch) and 2.5" additional drive bay.
@@PanduPoluan Yah, also replaceable ram. You know all that good things we were used to and now are becoming even strange.
ok how long til you start carrying resin tables in your merch store though
... another thing i've missed on my current laptop
the moment you know HP prohibited Linus from naming other companies.
I bet HP would rather have Linus name that laptop which lacks a feature that the HPs have.
HP Elitbooks have always been easy to work on, as well as decent performance...
That mini heart attack 4:52
The set is short curcuit, the theme is short curcuit, the channel is sho... Linus Tech tips. Interesting
It's a showcase segment, they're paid for by the company to "review" the unit. They get talking points directly from the people paying them.
Short circuit stuff is not paid for review.
@@AluminumHaste this isn't a review, it's a sponsored segment. That said, I expect they will post a proper review soon enough anyway. Linus will be more critical of a laptop he is likely to use himself.
its almost like when he used the TechLinked set to do one of his livestreams on :)
maybe HP at first paid for a short circuit then they write the script as a short circuit but at the last minute HP change their mind and pay more for an LTT spot
I thought I was watching it on short circuit and after reading this realised that it was on LTT
"For our Imperial friends"?
I always knew that Linus was a Palpatine shill.
Nah, it's just him being an Omnissiah worshipper, techpriest that he is. He should be more careful with his theological musings, though, lest he finds himself worshiping the Dragon of Mars...
🙃
I like these kinds of videos. It's nice to see someone review the latest enterprise hardware from HP (my employer has been an HP shop for over 10 years). Super stoked to see all the AMD options as well.
Honestly, captive screws are the best. I always get anxious about screws getting lost whenever I have to open my laptop up.
Linus: it's good to see AMD treated properly.
Also Linus: proceeds to build a laptop tower.
I get this was a sponsored video but it's ridiculous not showing pricing for any of the laptops presented, not to mention breezing past everything without much thought.
This felt like a half-assed effort at best, you guys can do better
Keep in mind this was paid for by HP and also the title states showcase, LTT makes an effort of discerning showcases from proper reviews. But yeah not showing price is bit stupid.
Big AMD/HP Shills all because money... what else do I need to say
These are all enterprise laptops, and large companies don't pay MSRP anyway.
Unlike Apple, HP will do discounts at times so showing prices would be inadvisable.
@@DogsBAwesome discounts ≠ MSRP so, even though that's a good business practice, the point still stands
Linus didnt do the Probook any justice here. Its also available with an 8-core 4700u and a 400nit display. The fact that the RAM is not soldered on, like all the other 2in1s out there, its pretty insane value.
I'm real mad that HP ditched a full size Ethernet port on the Probook and Elitebook. As a network engineer, that's something I just can't do without.
2:05 "Is that a TN panel in 2020?"
Nintendo as they use their Axe-inator on the New Nintendo 2DS XL: "Not anymore."
🍉😓
ok what is wrong with you.
Linus: "I got resin on my hoodie, damn resin table!"
Andy with the shameless plug: "Buy a new one from LTTStore.com"
Linus: "We don't carry resin tables"
Stolen
I work as a computer refurbishing tech that works on a LOT of these Elitebooks. Besides the keyboard being a full tear down, these things are nice to work on. Don't have many issues as long as they weren't abused/dropped or had the keyboards destroyed. I really like the glass touchpads on them. They'll never wear out and rarely break. We just had our first few broken touchpads show up in over a year. The sound on them is very stout for a laptop like this. way better than what dell and lenovo offer.
the way he throws the back cover on the table top...like "let me test the durability of this plastic.." lol

That stack of laptops in the thumbnail sort of looks like a PS4 Pro, lol.
when i glanced the thumbnail i thought it was a ps4 pro
3:25 "8 core 12 thread", it actually has 16 threads
Yeah that was a oversight from Linus.
He dropped the other four.
I think that HP provided barrel plug for backward compatibility, so that office workers can continue to use their old adapter with new laptops. I have the EliteBook 745 G6 (which is one generation before the reviewed one) and I power it exclusively via USB-C.
I think this is the first sponsored video where I've actually been highly interested and actually clicked through to the sponsor's website to check out the product. All of the laptops I own are well over 10 years old, except one. And that one doesn't have HDMI (it does have a displayport), but the CPU and memory is not strong enough to run the VM I need to run.
Aaand, they're out of stock. This video must have really been a boon for HP.

Dear Manufacturers,
16 : 10 aspect ratio or taller PLEASE.
Sincerely, everybody with two eyes and a pulse
Agree.
Surface Laptop gang
@@Miguel-jm2pf thank god there's a cheaper surface laptop now, maybe they'll feel the pressure
Manas Pradhan Yup, I saw that. It honestly seems like a really cool laptop. It basically gives other manufacturers zero excuses to keep using shitty plastic bodies and awful TN panels around that price point. Excited to see how other laptop makers respond.
If anyone at HP is reading this, please put 3:2 aspect ratio panels in your business machines; this leaves more room for a larger trackpad as well.
One big problem with the current design of the Probooks and Elitebooks is the keyboard... not that they're bad, they actually type quite good... but it's when you have to replace one. We've got a couple of hundred laptops with the current design and what we have to fix most on the HP laptops are the keyboards... that used to be a very simple job; back cover off, two or three screws and push through a hole to pop it out. Now the keyboard is integrated into the cover of the case which means a replacement costs a lot more to begin with, but you also have to completely disassemble the laptop to replace it because everything screws into it. A bad business decision... before HP would just send us a replacement keyboard and we would replace them ourselves because it took only 5~10 minutes. Now they have to send somebody to repair it and the repair takes more than an hour.

It's the best thing you can do. A lot of manufacturers don't have AMD, or they have one single budget option. HP is the only place to get the AMD CPUs in laptops that he's raving about in several flavors.
@@kaldo_kaldo i just got a T14 amd from lenovo and the t and x series are the premium military grade laptops my guy please ik amd has bad options but dont disregard lenovo they are the most rebust laptop manufacture around
He is advertising their laptops while raving about it's processors.
@@maximumoverdrive2219 rn amds cpus are better so yeah.
@@maximumoverdrive2219 I own a Lenovo T570. It's the worst laptop I've ever used. My company uses only Lenovo and oh man I thought HP laptops were unreliable.
My opinions aside, you can only get random laptops with AMD. T14/T14S (no 15" models) X13, and E14/E15 which historically the E series is crap. This year is the very first time in Lenovo history that the T or E series has a metal chassis. Hopefully the internals don't fail as easily as in the past on the E series.
You can't get a P series (the high performance ones), the X1 series (the good performance ultrabook), or a Yoga (the 2-in-1) with AMD. You get E (budget), T (mid-tier business) or X (budget ultrabook)
The music in the video is weird, you just start hearing it in the middle and thinking that's it's somewhere in your room
Barrel plug is not a preference, it's a security feature.
USB-C is a data IO port, exposing it to external devices is a risk.
This feels like a ShortCircuit video.
Sponsored ShortCircuit video, hence it gets shown on the big channel. Doesn't replace any originally released content by the looks of it though.

I was just thinking. "Huh, that would make a great replacement for my old thinkpad."
Then I saw the price
HP Prices are kind of all over the place if you check out their site. Still selling a 8th gen i5 laptop for 1600 dollars seems a bit off doesn't it? While the 845 g7 is about the same price in euros.
these ultrabooks are waaaaay to expensive for what they offer. hp themselves have compepitors in their lineups. I have an hp pavilion gaming laptop 15. it has a ryzen 5 3550h and a gtx 1050 3gb. it was only 700 dollars in best buy and I got: all the ports I need (barrel jack 2 usb a 1 usb C audio combo jack, Hdmi, sd card reader, ethernet jack) that bang & olufsen speaker. 2 ram slots, an m.2 slot and a 2.5 slot, A DEDICATED GPU , a backlit keyboard. a nice screen, beefy cooling, an awesome keyboard with numpad, and the design is reasonably thin and light, it's somewhat like the 3rd laptop but with a wider screen and it also doesn't scream gaming, it's sleek black and the color accent is in the backlight that you can turn off. It basically has all of the nice things that the laptops that linus showed have. but it's way cheaper and has a dedicated gpu. I'm sure that they'l update it with a 4th gen and a 1650 or something
@@XxmatixX6videosdiariosdenadav thanks for your info, a better option and not so expensive
Fun fact: I have 7 computers, all of them are hp also who else just got this randomly recommended to them 1 Year later?
The title was the biggest roast AMD heard.
I’d love to see a video on how they manage all of their review inventory, review schedule, shipping / receiving stuff that’s only a loaner, etc.
Somebody is taking AMD seriously... finally! :)
But we need XPS to do that
and intel to do that and give thunderbolt support 😂.
Thunderbolt 4 and USB 4 are the same thing now. So in the future this will be solved when AMD implement USB 4

In future USB gonna be more speedy than TB

Digging the cleaned up beard my dude. It's a very confident, professional look, and fits very well with the haircut. Non tech related compliment. Keep up the great reviews 👏🏾
@Jean-Louis Bourgeois for sure!
I think this was planned to be posted on short-circuit channel.. am I right Linus/Linus's staff?
I'd assume because it's a showcase HP is paying a fair amount of money and would rather it posted on the main channel, if you go look at the other showcases they're all very similar, not appearing really in depth because they can only talk about certain subjects
Yea I was completely thrown off by the LTT intro because I didn't read the channel and just saw the Short Circuit set along with the topic and figured it was a SC video
@@dacodile2168 Yep, its all about money HP/AMD paid to be on the main channel
@@vietmle MONEY BAD
HP provides complete disassembly manuals for most (all the ones that I had to fix) of their laptops. They might not have the best designs or the most ostentatious ones, but their experience with the enterprise translates into happy repair shops.
I am genuinely happy, that i have gotten a work laptop like this.

"someone is FINALLY taking AMD seriously!"
werent we all doing that...?
Not really in the laptop market, but everywhere else yeah
Not in the enterprise models. Even now I don't see any companies using it even for their desktops and especially laptops (enterprise models).
@@aaronmontgomery2055 enterprises upgrade in cycles meaning that it will still take awhile for amd to get much adopted in that space because enterprises dont upgrade every year, closer to they dont upgrade till they actually need too, the longer amd can keep its competition with intel the more they will get adopted in the enterprise and business space
In our company, we are "locked" to buy only Dell enterprise laptops and they say "no AMD for Dell laptops" so we must get used to our helicopters :-D (intel CPU fan noise i5 8gen)
@@HoRaLKaPrerov aww, i feel you, I have it as my school laptop
First, Fuck HP.
HP is one of those 80/20 companies that's skirting the law by producing so many different SKUs of products with minor variations and then bidding out as much shelf-space in retail stores as they legally can in order to choke out competition on raw volume. I cannot condone or abide such business practices. If you're confident in your products HP, then you wouldn't need to do that.
Second, thank you for supporting AMD's push into the laptop market. This is a much needed addition to the diversity in the market. This is what ACTUAL product variance should be. Not plus or minus bits of I/O, battery capacity, RAM, storage configuration, trackpad location, 5+ different colors, and 3+ different sizes of screens and panel types. Save the niche variants for online sales, keep only core product on the retail shelves, and show off that performance value compared to your competition. Then this praise won't be tainted by anti-competitive business practices that have the adverse effect of denying retail store customers more options in the market.
the company i work for has Dell and HPs and for HP we use the EliteBook 1030 x360's and EliteBook 840's. Currently on 840 G6 and x360 G4 models. Pretty nice little machines! Cool Linus is bringing light to some corporate laptops.
