WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.319 are you looking for a screen that just so happens to have a laptop 00:00:04.160 --> 00:00:11.840 attached to it well i've got a treat for you this right here 00:00:08.880 --> 00:00:14.719 is the hp pavilion 14 plus and it's only eight hundred and fifty dollars which i 00:00:13.360 --> 00:00:18.720 know i don't know that's that's not really budget but has a freaking OLED 00:00:17.359 --> 00:00:22.160 display look at that it's beautiful we're not 00:00:20.960 --> 00:00:27.439 starting with the display though we'll get to look at that later people always get mad when i describe laptops as 00:00:25.599 --> 00:00:31.599 looking a lot like a laptop but this is another one of those 00:00:29.039 --> 00:00:36.399 it's a laptop it does feel really good though it's all aluminum construction 00:00:33.520 --> 00:00:40.800 it's stamped and also recycled aluminum is what they used so that you know the 00:00:38.399 --> 00:00:45.440 gen z and millennial audience that ends up buying this or at least they want to 00:00:42.640 --> 00:00:49.039 buy this it doesn't get too mad about it speaking of things i wouldn't get mad 00:00:46.640 --> 00:00:52.399 about the i o so we have a mini sd card reader i do kind of wish it was a full 00:00:50.239 --> 00:00:57.039 size over here but uh whatever also full size type a headphone microphone combo 00:00:54.879 --> 00:01:02.079 jack and around the other side is where things get very fun so we have oh darn 00:01:00.640 --> 00:01:09.280 they're not Thunderbolt or at least i don't believe there's a Thunderbolt but we do get two usb type cs 00:01:05.920 --> 00:01:11.760 full-size HDMI i believe it's only 2.0 00:01:09.280 --> 00:01:15.600 and also usb type a what else do we have here before we continue oh geez 00:01:16.479 --> 00:01:22.080 we have floor power cord yours probably won't come on the floor 00:01:19.759 --> 00:01:27.119 though it's a 90 watt charger and it is usb type c love to see it 00:01:25.040 --> 00:01:31.040 well Windows is updating this is an excellent time to have a look at the 00:01:29.280 --> 00:01:33.640 black levels because this is all we're getting at the moment as you can see 00:01:32.880 --> 00:01:38.000 just exceptionally dark in 00:01:36.320 --> 00:01:43.920 well now the display is just off there we go now you can see it 00:01:41.439 --> 00:01:48.560 just pitch black everywhere that you know it's not illuminated oh 00:01:46.320 --> 00:01:53.200 is it not touch touch screen denied i would be kind of 00:01:51.040 --> 00:01:58.880 sad about that except that every single other spec about this display is just 00:01:55.280 --> 00:02:02.640 freaking the best so it's 2.8 k 00:01:58.880 --> 00:02:06.560 of all things 2880 by 1800p it is also 00:02:02.640 --> 00:02:08.720 OLED and the absolute cherry on top is 00:02:06.560 --> 00:02:12.800 that it's 90 hertz one very minor annoyance is that you can only plug in 00:02:10.640 --> 00:02:16.080 your charger on one side do wish they had a type c over here but at the same 00:02:14.560 --> 00:02:20.000 time we're really splitting hairs that's the 00:02:17.760 --> 00:02:23.040 sort of thing we can complain about hmm 00:02:21.120 --> 00:02:27.360 all right screw it we're not using quick sync we're just uh 00:02:25.680 --> 00:02:31.200 we're just brute forcing this in code all right we're back now we had a small 00:02:29.680 --> 00:02:35.599 issue there even though the processor and this is quite powerful it was not 00:02:33.519 --> 00:02:40.319 very happy when we tried to do screen recording now that's a combination of 00:02:37.760 --> 00:02:46.879 fairly high resolution display and not having a GPU it is possible to get a GPU 00:02:43.840 --> 00:02:48.959 in this you can get a 20 50 for some 00:02:46.879 --> 00:02:52.319 reason if you want to go down that route i would highly suggest 00:02:50.400 --> 00:02:57.200 not getting this laptop there's many other options the nv14 comes to mind 00:02:54.640 --> 00:03:02.720 where you could get like a 30 50 which is unsurprisingly much better than 00:02:59.440 --> 00:03:04.959 buying a 2050 in 2022 anyway the raw 00:03:02.720 --> 00:03:11.280 specs of what we have in here are very good for the processor we have the i7 12 00:03:07.599 --> 00:03:12.640 700h that's a 14 core processor insane 00:03:11.280 --> 00:03:15.920 that that's in a laptop like this now you do have to 00:03:14.560 --> 00:03:18.400 remember that eight of those are efficiency cores they're not as good as 00:03:17.680 --> 00:03:24.640 you know performance cores but you still get six performance cores it's damn impressive 00:03:21.760 --> 00:03:28.000 in a laptop like this as well we have 16 gigabytes of RAM i'm going to be very 00:03:26.560 --> 00:03:32.879 interested to see if you're able to upgrade it because that would help a lot 00:03:30.239 --> 00:03:39.760 in this thing it is ddr4 though 3200 megahertz you also have a 256 Gigabyte 00:03:36.159 --> 00:03:41.920 SSD real tech wi-fi six 00:03:39.760 --> 00:03:46.400 interesting i don't know if that card's good or not but an upgrade that you 00:03:43.920 --> 00:03:50.400 might want to do is upgrading that to an Intel Wi-Fi chip because those can be 00:03:48.319 --> 00:03:54.400 just way better if you have weird like dropping out and stuff of your wi-fi 00:03:52.480 --> 00:03:58.879 then maybe consider doing that and finally iris xe graphics so this will be 00:03:56.480 --> 00:04:02.799 96 execution units in this one and as we just saw it's not good enough 00:04:00.959 --> 00:04:07.760 to do screen recording on this the rest of the machine is pretty standard for hp 00:04:05.200 --> 00:04:12.000 the chassis is just overall very well built especially for 00:04:10.159 --> 00:04:15.840 something in this price range it's stamped aluminum it does have some macro 00:04:14.000 --> 00:04:20.079 flexing like if i push here you can see that the whole thing kind of bends down 00:04:18.079 --> 00:04:22.880 but at the same time like it's not cnc machine this isn't a 00:04:21.680 --> 00:04:27.600 specter it's more than good enough it also is 00:04:25.040 --> 00:04:29.520 quite a thin machine so if you have a look here 00:04:28.720 --> 00:04:34.080 it's 16 and change in the front 00:04:31.840 --> 00:04:38.560 18 and a little bit more change in the back that's it's pretty thin 00:04:36.560 --> 00:04:44.639 it's not the thinnest or the lightest 3.09 pounds so yeah this 00:04:42.000 --> 00:04:48.160 is a very easy laptop to sort of just live with from a weight and thickness 00:04:46.720 --> 00:04:53.280 perspective i know that i've already said it like a bunch of times but the screen on this especially for the price 00:04:51.680 --> 00:04:59.759 is just incredible and there's a bunch of other things that are great about this too like a couple years ago 00:04:56.960 --> 00:05:03.759 an 850 dollar Windows laptop would come with a track pad that was just it would 00:05:02.160 --> 00:05:07.680 make you buy a macbook air this one right here not so much it's nice and 00:05:05.759 --> 00:05:15.039 large i don't believe it's glass topped click feels excellent general usability 00:05:10.560 --> 00:05:15.039 feel awesome great trackpad keyboard 00:05:15.280 --> 00:05:21.520 keyboard's awesome it feels the same as the ones that are on the envy line which 00:05:19.280 --> 00:05:25.280 is awesome it's pretty snappy has nice long travel and if you look at the key 00:05:23.520 --> 00:05:29.680 stabilization it's very good super easy to you know if 00:05:27.680 --> 00:05:33.600 you hit the corner of a key it's going to actuate before 00:05:31.440 --> 00:05:38.400 the flexiness gets below the chassis line there hp has been doing a great job 00:05:35.840 --> 00:05:43.840 with their keyboards for just years oh what else do we have here grab 00:05:40.960 --> 00:05:47.039 rave okay of course oh jeez yeah i can't give you a crab 00:05:46.000 --> 00:05:51.520 rave without telling you about our sponsor enlisted thanks to our sponsor 00:05:49.520 --> 00:05:58.160 enlisted enlisted as a free-to-play world war ii multiplayer shooter

going to guess right now that the 00:06:18.800 --> 00:06:23.440 speakers on this are not very good unless they happen to have some below 00:06:22.160 --> 00:06:27.360 the keyboard it looks like they're going to be down firing yeah so there's a 00:06:25.520 --> 00:06:31.440 speaker right there and right there and anytime that you 00:06:30.319 --> 00:06:36.319 have to you know bounce sound off of the surface it's going to lose some clarity 00:06:40.720 --> 00:06:46.840 my first impressions are that that's way better than i was expecting it's there's 00:06:44.639 --> 00:06:52.000 no bass there's none at all like but at the same time who cares it's 00:06:49.680 --> 00:06:56.160 fairly clear and louder than i expected now of course we can uh we've got the 00:06:53.759 --> 00:06:59.680 main contender even though it's hardly fair given how much more 00:06:57.840 --> 00:07:04.000 expensive this thing is all right let's see 00:07:00.840 --> 00:07:08.479 here switching over to the xps 00:07:08.479 --> 00:07:14.000 yep that's way better turns out that a 2400 laptop sounds better than what's 00:07:12.560 --> 00:07:20.160 850. who would have guessed the more interesting thing though let me just 00:07:16.880 --> 00:07:22.560 turn up the brightness of this xps here 00:07:20.160 --> 00:07:26.400 let's have a look at the panels damn 00:07:26.720 --> 00:07:34.160 what's super impressive here is that these look effectively the same 00:07:32.240 --> 00:07:38.880 i'll just turn this around for you andy there i was shocked by how good the 00:07:35.919 --> 00:07:44.800 display was on this xps and to see it in a laptop that costs this much money and 00:07:41.759 --> 00:07:47.440 have it be effectively the same 00:07:44.800 --> 00:07:47.440 that's crazy 00:07:48.879 --> 00:07:54.319 yeah that's interesting because they both said that you know the hp actually 00:07:52.319 --> 00:07:58.960 looked a little bit better than the xps 15 which makes sense because i actually 00:07:56.400 --> 00:08:03.680 had to increase the black levels on the xps here it's uh kind of dumb but the 00:08:02.319 --> 00:08:07.680 problem is just that youtube's compression is awful so if you have a 00:08:06.080 --> 00:08:11.520 display that's really good at showing off intricate detail in like you know 00:08:10.000 --> 00:08:14.879 very dark scenes on a lot of youtube videos that ends up 00:08:13.599 --> 00:08:19.520 just meaning that you see a bunch of blockiness or something or like someone 00:08:16.639 --> 00:08:22.400 does a very bad job of color grading so they're like pants that they're wearing 00:08:20.960 --> 00:08:26.160 that are black are just like looking into the void as opposed to like when 00:08:24.479 --> 00:08:32.000 they balance on an lcd display it probably looked much more reasonable so 00:08:28.720 --> 00:08:33.360 yeah uh using OLED for most things that 00:08:32.000 --> 00:08:36.880 you use a computer for is kind of dubious but that said this one looks 00:08:35.519 --> 00:08:44.720 really good what else do we do game do you guys want to have a little game yeah yeah 00:08:41.760 --> 00:08:47.519 first of all everyone's favorite game valham 00:08:46.399 --> 00:08:52.480 i don't think it's gonna be able to run it not at like reasonable settings at 00:08:49.600 --> 00:08:57.600 least yeah that's not ideal so we're currently getting 17 FPS foraging will 00:08:55.600 --> 00:09:00.959 be very easy because there's no grass cover or vegetation at all um that's a 00:09:00.080 --> 00:09:06.959 plus uh in fairness it doesn't feel as bad as 00:09:03.680 --> 00:09:09.360 you know generally gaming at 18 FPS 00:09:06.959 --> 00:09:14.000 would be just simply because you know we have a 90 hertz display and also OLED 00:09:12.160 --> 00:09:16.000 has really good pixel response time so it's 00:09:15.200 --> 00:09:21.800 not the worst the worst yeah i need to turn down the resolution but 00:09:23.200 --> 00:09:30.080 there we go all right you just need 900p and then 00:09:26.959 --> 00:09:32.480 you can get like 50 FPS on low yeah this 00:09:30.080 --> 00:09:36.640 looks really bad um anyway you can't play valheim really 00:09:34.560 --> 00:09:39.680 let's try rocket league this is more the sort of game that i would expect you to 00:09:38.240 --> 00:09:43.440 play on a device like this and it might be fine it might not be but it's 00:09:42.000 --> 00:09:48.320 probably fine okay do you think that we can get away with uh i was going to say can we get 00:09:47.040 --> 00:09:52.720 away with native resolution but no 00:09:50.399 --> 00:09:57.839 see 1920 by 1200 we might be able to do that medium settings 00:09:55.200 --> 00:10:02.880 this is not enough FPS to be playing rocket league right now it's at around 00:10:00.480 --> 00:10:08.000 30 FPS and that's at 1080p this is bad okay 00:10:06.160 --> 00:10:11.480 let's uh let's try dropping it even lower what what do we need to do to make 00:10:09.600 --> 00:10:15.279 this playable 1440x900 00:10:13.040 --> 00:10:19.040 turn down the anti-aliasing just because i hate 00:10:16.959 --> 00:10:25.680 smooth lines everything else is on quality-ish looking at 40 FPS now and 00:10:22.480 --> 00:10:27.440 this is um this looks bad so i don't oh 00:10:25.680 --> 00:10:31.600 wait what we probably have to do i wonder if there's some hp command center 00:10:29.200 --> 00:10:36.160 crap performance mode will not help us out at all resume game 00:10:34.079 --> 00:10:40.800 40 FPS well uh don't game on it that's uh what 00:10:38.399 --> 00:10:45.600 we're saying here now that said though this is an incredibly powerful laptop if 00:10:43.440 --> 00:10:48.560 you're looking just purely for CPU performance 00:10:46.880 --> 00:10:55.360 we have cinebench on here we do beautiful so we're looking for what that yoga that 00:10:51.600 --> 00:10:56.800 was a very similar size got like 13 000 00:10:55.360 --> 00:11:00.120 and that was propped up we need to prop them all up 00:11:00.160 --> 00:11:06.560 the ShortCircuit official test this painters tape performance mode 00:11:04.160 --> 00:11:14.040 multi-core let's go or what do we think like i'm guessing 12 00:11:08.959 --> 00:11:14.040 569 what do you think andy 00:11:14.560 --> 00:11:22.480 okay how fast is the CPU running right now 2.16 gigahertz not as fast as i would 00:11:20.480 --> 00:11:29.600 want it to be going at this moment i would be kind of hoping for like higher 00:11:24.399 --> 00:11:30.880 than base clock at least oh damn 13 026 00:11:29.600 --> 00:11:35.279 so that's still very impressive that goes to show 00:11:32.640 --> 00:11:38.320 you that you know having 20 threads really helps in a multi-threaded 00:11:36.720 --> 00:11:43.200 application like this so if what you're looking to do is get a laptop for like 00:11:40.640 --> 00:11:47.839 photo editing or light video editing but particularly photo editing this thing 00:11:44.959 --> 00:11:52.240 will be freaking incredible because like the display our last little bit here 00:11:49.920 --> 00:11:57.200 before we open it up is the webcam and this looks great so here we get a 5 00:11:54.639 --> 00:12:01.279 megapixel webcam and i do have to say it looks really good it is like it's not 00:11:59.440 --> 00:12:06.480 the best looking camera ever because it's a webcam but at the same time it 00:12:03.680 --> 00:12:10.880 looks fairly sharp and more impressively it's exposing perfectly and that's 00:12:08.079 --> 00:12:14.160 something that hp has done a fantastic job of doing like if we're just right 00:12:13.200 --> 00:12:18.959 here you know it doesn't really matter what i do it's 00:12:16.880 --> 00:12:23.040 exposing to my face and it does an excellent job at that hp does really 00:12:21.200 --> 00:12:28.800 know what they're doing as far as like a business laptop goes like video calls 00:12:26.000 --> 00:12:32.480 keyboard mouse display they've got that pretty down at this point all right so 00:12:30.639 --> 00:12:36.399 basically you have an incredible processor and an incredible screen which 00:12:34.800 --> 00:12:41.680 means that this is going to be a powerhouse for photo editors but you 00:12:39.120 --> 00:12:46.079 know what photo editing needs a lot of the RAM and if you can upgrade it that's 00:12:43.680 --> 00:12:50.320 like incredible let's see here looks like only four screws 00:12:48.240 --> 00:12:54.160 if that's the case that is fantastic we have to remove these rubber feet and 00:12:52.320 --> 00:12:57.360 that will be a little bit unfortunate but in fairness to hp these rubber feet 00:12:56.079 --> 00:13:01.839 are really good at just falling off on their own so uh that'll make access pretty easy in a while 00:13:02.320 --> 00:13:09.120 super easy four screws you're in 00:13:06.959 --> 00:13:14.079 no RAM upgrading damn yeah so we can see we have our little 00:13:11.279 --> 00:13:17.760 RAM chips all right along here that's very unfortunate because it means that 00:13:15.839 --> 00:13:21.600 you have to buy the amount of RAM that you need from the factory now the reason 00:13:19.839 --> 00:13:26.000 that i say that is that this is more of a budget orientated device so there's a 00:13:24.480 --> 00:13:29.680 good chance that you know the 8 gig model might go on sale 00:13:28.000 --> 00:13:33.279 in a year and you might be able to get it for a really good deal and that would 00:13:31.440 --> 00:13:37.440 be freaking wicked if you could just upgrade the RAM and be like yeah i have 00:13:35.279 --> 00:13:40.959 a great machine now whereas instead you have to just well you don't buy it 00:13:39.199 --> 00:13:44.639 because you don't buy a laptop with the gigs of RAM that you can't upgrade 00:13:42.800 --> 00:13:48.800 that's just like a rule for me fortunately though you can easily 00:13:46.320 --> 00:13:52.880 upgrade the SSD and we get a look at what gave us that 13 000 cinebench score 00:13:51.120 --> 00:13:56.320 two big old fans right here and a heatsink that goes all the way across 00:13:54.720 --> 00:14:00.560 the back you also have really easy access to the wi-fi card so if it turns 00:13:58.320 --> 00:14:05.600 out that's crap you can't replace it with an Intel one this is really cheap 00:14:02.320 --> 00:14:08.240 as well and finally the battery 51 watt 00:14:05.600 --> 00:14:13.199 hours and uh it's not enough you'll get under good conditions about six hours of 00:14:11.120 --> 00:14:17.680 battery life out of this according to hp that's because the OLED display just it 00:14:16.240 --> 00:14:22.079 sucks a bunch of energy now you can probably do better by you know reducing 00:14:20.000 --> 00:14:25.360 the brightness using dark mode and everything and so on but at the same 00:14:23.920 --> 00:14:28.800 time six hours of battery life is like barely 00:14:27.519 --> 00:14:33.680 acceptable on top of that i need to tell you about 00:14:31.279 --> 00:14:38.240 Windows modern standby once again because it's my personal mission to 00:14:35.920 --> 00:14:42.079 annoy enough people in oems that they get mad at microsoft and 00:14:40.639 --> 00:14:46.720 then microsoft might actually do something Windows modern standby it's 00:14:44.560 --> 00:14:51.440 terrible you put your laptop and your backpack and then you come back like i 00:14:49.120 --> 00:14:55.600 did this morning and your stupid laptop's dead and you have to go and get 00:14:53.440 --> 00:15:01.920 a freaking charger and you're late for your call Windows fix it please 00:14:58.560 --> 00:15:03.440 Jake Windows modern standby 00:15:01.920 --> 00:15:10.160 yeah don't even get me started bring back s3 sleeve or i'm going to hurt you 00:15:07.199 --> 00:15:14.639 that is a threat i will tell everyone to go and buy apple products 00:15:13.040 --> 00:15:19.040 yeah that's why Jake went to a macbook Windows modern standby it sucks balls hp 00:15:17.199 --> 00:15:23.680 get mad at microsoft i've already had my dell reps say that they've used these 00:15:20.880 --> 00:15:29.199 videos to get mad at microsoft you get mad at them too all
