1 00:00:00,430 --> 00:00:05,560 - Laptop. We're unboxing one, today. It's the HP specter X360 16. 2 00:00:05,560 --> 00:00:06,510 And Ugh 3 00:00:08,850 --> 00:00:12,120 - I don't know. I felt violent this morning. Did I say what this is, Jono? 4 00:00:12,120 --> 00:00:16,790 - No. - Oh, this is the, HP specter X360 16 inch. 5 00:00:16,790 --> 00:00:21,560 And it looks awesome. This is a replacement for the HP Spectre 15, 6 00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:26,220 and it's the same size, but, now it has a 16 by 10 display, which is freaking awesome. 7 00:00:26,220 --> 00:00:30,733 Oh, we also get a pen. Love to see it, when that's included. 8 00:00:32,950 --> 00:00:37,360 It comes with additional tips, as I just found out, when I accidentally dropped it. 9 00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:40,930 See what else we got here? AC adapter. 10 00:00:40,930 --> 00:00:45,060 That's it, there is the charger. Let's see, how many wattages we have. 11 00:00:45,060 --> 00:00:49,535 135. That's pretty good. Is it going through? 12 00:00:49,535 --> 00:00:53,180 Oh. - Woah - Woah. Yeah. 13 00:00:53,180 --> 00:00:56,400 HP, gave me, type C. So this, Specter X360, 14 00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:59,980 is like a full generational update, over the last one. 15 00:00:59,980 --> 00:01:05,400 It also comes in this nice, it's not quite black, but basically black color. 16 00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:09,240 Yeah. I don't know how I feel about the look. It kind of, it looks premium, 17 00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:12,640 but it also kind of, gives me like, Chromebook vibes, if that makes sense. 18 00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:16,430 So, this is what we have for I/O. We have, Thunderbolt four, one there, 19 00:01:16,430 --> 00:01:21,000 one on the edge, kind of easy to miss that one. We also have a headphone Jack 20 00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:24,660 and a micro SD card reader. Around on the other side, 21 00:01:24,660 --> 00:01:28,490 we have, a USB type A, with one of these funky little fold down Chamois. 22 00:01:28,490 --> 00:01:32,330 An HDMI, 2.1 port. And wait. 23 00:01:32,330 --> 00:01:37,482 Okay. Scratch what I said before, your headphone- microphone combo, is on this edge right here. 24 00:01:37,482 --> 00:01:41,210 And over here is the charging port. 25 00:01:41,210 --> 00:01:47,270 Opening up, this looks very nice. I'm glad that HP moved the speakers from, up top, 26 00:01:47,270 --> 00:01:51,240 down to the sides. And I imagine, that they sound really great. 27 00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:54,703 And what also sounds really great, is our sponsor today. MSI. 28 00:01:54,703 --> 00:01:58,410 Thanks to MSI for sponsoring this video. MSI has released their first microphone 29 00:01:58,410 --> 00:02:01,570 designed for streaming.

Learn more about the, 34 00:02:15,803 --> 00:02:18,893 MSI IMMEERSE GV 60, streaming microphone, at the link below. 35 00:02:18,893 --> 00:02:25,120 All right, let's turn this thing on. Oh, just from the login screen. I can already tell, that this screen, is freaking wicked. 36 00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:28,764 Okay. Yep. That's OLED. Those are some deep blacks. 37 00:02:28,764 --> 00:02:33,330 That is an awesome background for just showing off how excellent, 38 00:02:33,330 --> 00:02:36,370 your black levels are, on your display. Good job, HP. 39 00:02:36,370 --> 00:02:39,910 What is super cool about this though? And you probably noticed it, 40 00:02:39,910 --> 00:02:42,950 down here below the keyboard, is that we have, RTX graphics. 41 00:02:42,950 --> 00:02:46,490 So, inside of this, is NVIDIA RTX 3050. 42 00:02:46,490 --> 00:02:50,520 We also have an Intel i7-11390H, 43 00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:54,100 love their naming schemes. 16 gigabytes of RAM, 44 00:02:54,100 --> 00:02:59,240 Wi-Fi 6E. And, a 1 terabyte SSD with Optane. 45 00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:03,102 Now, let's go back to the processor here, for a second. 'Cause this is, kind of, 46 00:03:03,102 --> 00:03:09,650 my least favorite part, of this laptop. So, the 11390H, 47 00:03:09,650 --> 00:03:15,082 is a 4 core 8 thread processor. And as of a couple weeks ago, it sucks. 48 00:03:15,082 --> 00:03:18,100 So, if you buy this laptop, in a couple months, 49 00:03:18,100 --> 00:03:21,460 it'll probably come with, a P-series processor from Intel, 50 00:03:21,460 --> 00:03:28,040 and just completely wipe the floor with this thing. You'd probably be getting, 4 performance cores, 51 00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:33,890 8 efficiency cores. You'll have like 10% more single threaded performance, 52 00:03:33,890 --> 00:03:38,590 heaps more multi-threaded, and way more battery life. 53 00:03:38,590 --> 00:03:43,080 It's really sad. I feel super bad for HP, because if they gave this to me, in December, 54 00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:46,460 I would've been like, wicked. They did such a good job. 55 00:03:46,460 --> 00:03:51,440 They have the RTX 3050, and this, thin, relatively light machine. 56 00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:55,700 They've got an awesome display. 16 by 10. They took all of the notes of everything 57 00:03:55,700 --> 00:03:59,120 that I would want in a laptop. That's like, this great job. 58 00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:02,903 And now it's like, great job, in a couple months when you refresh it. 59 00:04:02,903 --> 00:04:08,220 (bleep) How much is the laptop? The one you want, starts at $1,700. 60 00:04:08,220 --> 00:04:11,325 And this one right here, is over two grand. 61 00:04:11,325 --> 00:04:17,340 - Ooh - She's pricey. It is pretty interesting, seeing these two laptops, side by side, 62 00:04:17,340 --> 00:04:22,510 the screens are both 16 by 9, although, HP's is just so much bigger. 63 00:04:22,510 --> 00:04:28,630 Like, I guess it is, just the way that, they did the hinge. Dell did their hinge, kind of like, way down low. 64 00:04:28,630 --> 00:04:31,970 So the screen's, right beside, like your keyboard. 65 00:04:31,970 --> 00:04:36,210 Whereas HP, has this kind of, dual hinge on the go. 66 00:04:36,210 --> 00:04:39,400 Which does add, a fair bit of height. 67 00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:40,663 But at the same time, 68 00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:46,290 you can do this. And for a lot of people, especially if you're using this pen, 69 00:04:46,290 --> 00:04:50,220 that is going to be very awesome. Yeah, let's see how this laptop works, 70 00:04:50,220 --> 00:04:53,519 as an actual laptop. I'm guessing the keyboard is excellent 71 00:04:53,519 --> 00:04:57,680 (keyboard being pressed) and it is. This is, a different feeling keyboard, 72 00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:03,100 that I'm used to, from HP. I don't quite know what's different. It reminds me of, almost, more of like a razor keyboard. 73 00:05:03,100 --> 00:05:08,670 As for the track pad. This thing is great. I'm not seeing, any sort of, delay or anything. 74 00:05:08,670 --> 00:05:11,880 That's something that, HP in the past, was kind of bad for. 75 00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:18,410 And it seems like they have fixed that. It isn't quite as large as the one, on the XPS15. 76 00:05:18,410 --> 00:05:21,560 Okay. It's actually a lot smaller, but you can see like, 77 00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:26,512 based off, of my grease, from my hands I don't use, from here to here, 78 00:05:26,512 --> 00:05:31,620 or there to there. So, I think that this one, is gonna be perfectly fine. 79 00:05:31,620 --> 00:05:36,070 One thing that I did just notice, and this is again, 80 00:05:36,070 --> 00:05:40,060 the complaint that I always have with OLEDs. There is a little bit of that, 81 00:05:40,060 --> 00:05:44,127 kind of weird, graininess that I always find problematic on these. 82 00:05:44,127 --> 00:05:49,720 You're not going to care about it too much, unless you have full white displays. 83 00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:55,250 But at the same time, like, it's a laptop. You're going to be using things, like Word and Excel. 84 00:05:55,250 --> 00:05:58,770 You're going to see the graininess. I don't think that's a bad thing, 85 00:05:58,770 --> 00:06:02,320 because ,realistically, I'm not going to recommend 86 00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:06,720 you buy the OLED, on this anyway. Because it's super expensive 87 00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:10,440 and HP's non OLED screens, are really, really good. 88 00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:14,630 The Chassis rigidity, on this laptop, is fantastic. 89 00:06:14,630 --> 00:06:18,630 It is, one of the best built laptops on the market, easily. 90 00:06:18,630 --> 00:06:22,363 The whole thing's made, from Recycled CNC aluminum. I don't know. 91 00:06:22,363 --> 00:06:25,640 I would've never guessed, this was once, Pepsi cans. 92 00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:29,440 There's one part of this laptop that I've been super excited to try out. 93 00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:34,310 And that is the webcam. Well, there's the webcam. It's a five megapixel jolly. 94 00:06:34,310 --> 00:06:40,900 Which is, I can already tell you, for sure it completely, just takes a dump, on Dell's face. 95 00:06:40,900 --> 00:06:44,270 But there's another thing. Yes. Ah, here it is. 96 00:06:44,270 --> 00:06:50,590 The HP glam cam. I can already tell you that, this webcam is excellent. 97 00:06:50,590 --> 00:06:55,940 Like, look at my face. It doesn't look awful, but it has a couple more things. 98 00:06:55,940 --> 00:07:00,227 So, the first here is the Walk-away lock. This is awesome, because it just means that if, 99 00:07:00,227 --> 00:07:04,380 you get up and walk away, it should lock itself. 100 00:07:04,380 --> 00:07:08,400 We'll see if it does. Yep. It's locked. 101 00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:13,030 Perfect. - Yay. - That's nice. Now, Wake on approach. 102 00:07:13,030 --> 00:07:17,050 Let's turn that back on. So, now with wake on approach, let's see, 103 00:07:17,050 --> 00:07:21,406 I should be able to leave, and then when I come back, it turns back on. So, now it is asleep. 104 00:07:21,406 --> 00:07:24,030 Boom. Boom .Boom 105 00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:28,940 Sitting down. That was freaking wicked. 106 00:07:28,940 --> 00:07:34,517 Don't even need to touch it. Boom. You're into your laptop. And finally, there's shoulder surfing. 107 00:07:34,517 --> 00:07:37,860 This is a gimmick, but I think it's pretty funny. 108 00:07:37,860 --> 00:07:42,593 Jono, come over here and try and look at, what I am looking at. 109 00:07:44,450 --> 00:07:47,815 And here browsing photos. Oh, there we go. 110 00:07:47,815 --> 00:07:51,970 It did immediately blur it. - It's not that blurred. - Yeah. It's not that blurred. 111 00:07:51,970 --> 00:07:56,280 - I can Definitely tell you're looking at underwear. - What else do we talk about, in laptop reviews? 112 00:07:56,280 --> 00:08:01,150 Crab rave. (upbeat music playing) 113 00:08:01,150 --> 00:08:07,323 HP, normally has, really good speakers. And so far, these are also very good. 114 00:08:07,323 --> 00:08:10,257 (upbeat music playing) Nice. 115 00:08:12,020 --> 00:08:15,623 There's not, a lot of bass, but it's all very clear. 116 00:08:16,596 --> 00:08:20,541 Go, Dell. (upbeat music playing) 117 00:08:20,541 --> 00:08:26,070 Hmm. Now, I'm going to say right now, 118 00:08:26,070 --> 00:08:29,810 the Dell speakers, are better, but they sound worse. 119 00:08:29,810 --> 00:08:33,290 Because Dell's audio drivers, on Windows 11, 120 00:08:33,290 --> 00:08:37,700 have been one of the worst experiences, I have ever had with a laptop. 121 00:08:37,700 --> 00:08:43,760 They're, actually, so bad. The image quality, is very comparable. 122 00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:47,920 The HP, does have the edge, on the black levels. 123 00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:53,270 That's for sure. Especially on this next scene. Yeah. There's just more detail, like in the trees and stuff. 124 00:08:53,270 --> 00:09:00,900 I don't think it's worth the downsides, of like, the weird graininess and stuff of the OLED display. 125 00:09:00,900 --> 00:09:05,230 And the increased power consumption. I would just, get their normal LCD display, 126 00:09:05,230 --> 00:09:08,230 and save myself, a couple hundred bucks. Guess, what else do we have to do? 127 00:09:08,230 --> 00:09:12,317 Oh, Valheim. I almost forgot, we were downloading it. So, do note, that this is going to be, 128 00:09:12,317 --> 00:09:16,670 performance, while also capturing. 129 00:09:16,670 --> 00:09:21,460 So, it's kind of, worst case, for this poor laptop, but at the same time, 130 00:09:21,460 --> 00:09:27,490 I imagine, it's going to be fine. Okay. So we're on, 1080P low, 131 00:09:27,490 --> 00:09:31,760 and we're getting like 24FPS. actually I'm going to stop OBS. 132 00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:34,870 So, we went from like, 23 to 26FPS by Darknet. 133 00:09:34,870 --> 00:09:38,280 So, NVIDIA's NVENC encoder, is still good 134 00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:43,940 and doesn't have a large performance hit. If you just want, GPU acceleration for Photoshop and stuff, 135 00:09:43,940 --> 00:09:47,880 having a 3050 is going to be nice. If you want to play AAA games, 136 00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:52,320 manage your expectations, is what I'm going to say. Oh wow, nevermind. 137 00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:56,402 This thing's great. Just put in, performance mode, and my FPS doubled right there. 138 00:09:56,402 --> 00:10:02,320 (Vlogger laughs) Wow. We're getting F50 FPSs, in ValHeim. 139 00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:05,780 This is perfectly good. I'm sure that, you could play, like 1080P low, 140 00:10:05,780 --> 00:10:09,240 You're gonna be having a great time. One thing I wanna point at, right here, 141 00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:12,260 that I really don't like on HP laptops, 142 00:10:12,260 --> 00:10:16,120 are these rubber pieces that go straight across the bottom. 143 00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:19,640 I say that because, when they come off, you can't put them back on. 144 00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:23,640 They stretch and it's weird. And, as part of my Intel upgrade, 145 00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:26,060 my girlfriend got an HP NV14. 146 00:10:26,950 --> 00:10:31,520 Fantastic laptop overall, but the rubber foot, after just a couple months, 147 00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:36,130 has completely come off on the front, from just like, going in and out of a backpack. 148 00:10:36,130 --> 00:10:39,530 So, in here we can see that you get, an 83Wh battery. 149 00:10:39,530 --> 00:10:45,680 That's, a little bit bigger, than the last generation. Very similar. I think the same as the XPS 15. 150 00:10:45,680 --> 00:10:51,880 And given that, you only have a 4 core CPU in this, you'll definitely, beat the battery life, of the XPS15. 151 00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:55,764 The repairability of this, as a whole, is excellent. 152 00:10:55,764 --> 00:11:00,270 I watched the tear down guide. And so, you're able to remove the battery, 153 00:11:00,270 --> 00:11:03,860 track pads is replaceable, keyboard is replaceable, screen is replaceable. 154 00:11:03,860 --> 00:11:07,440 Even the webcam, you can replace. Like it's a separate little module. 155 00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:11,930 Awesome. It would be pretty much top tier, repairability scores, 156 00:11:11,930 --> 00:11:17,190 except the RAM is hard. Which sucks. 'Cause you can only buy 16 gigabytes. 157 00:11:17,190 --> 00:11:23,680 And, given that this has like, the GPU and a pretty decent CPU, 158 00:11:23,680 --> 00:11:29,080 I could see lots of people, that are like, well that would want 32 gigabytes in a laptop, like this. 159 00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:32,500 Cause overall, this is quite a fantastic laptop. 160 00:11:32,500 --> 00:11:36,396 Like, if you want, a powerful flippier, roundy laptop, 161 00:11:36,396 --> 00:11:39,690 this is potentially the best one. Like look at these fans. 162 00:11:39,690 --> 00:11:44,130 Those are nice big fans, nice big heat pipes. As far as I could tell from the gaming, 163 00:11:44,130 --> 00:11:49,100 like, the cooler, works just fine. It's really annoying, that you only get 16 gigabytes. 164 00:11:49,100 --> 00:11:54,260 So yeah, this is kind of like, this is the, super close laptop. 165 00:11:54,260 --> 00:11:58,020 I just wish, that they gave you, a little bit more RAM 166 00:11:58,020 --> 00:12:02,860 That's actually pretty much, my whole wish. But, buy this laptop when, 12th gen, gets to it. 167 00:12:02,860 --> 00:12:06,276 That's my conclusion. Thanks for watching. Bye.
