WEBVTT 00:00:00.430 --> 00:00:05.560 - Laptop. We're unboxing one, today. It's the HP specter X360 16. 00:00:05.560 --> 00:00:06.510 And Ugh 00:00:08.850 --> 00:00:12.120 - I don't know. I felt violent this morning. Did I say what this is, Jono? 00:00:12.120 --> 00:00:16.790 - No. - Oh, this is the, HP specter X360 16 inch. 00:00:16.790 --> 00:00:21.560 And it looks awesome. This is a replacement for the HP Spectre 15, 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. 00:00:26.220 --> 00:00:30.733 Oh, we also get a pen. Love to see it, when that's included. 00:00:32.950 --> 00:00:37.360 It comes with additional tips, as I just found out, when I accidentally dropped it. 00:00:37.360 --> 00:00:40.930 See what else we got here? AC adapter. 00:00:40.930 --> 00:00:45.060 That's it, there is the charger. Let's see, how many wattages we have. 00:00:45.060 --> 00:00:49.535 135. That's pretty good. Is it going through? 00:00:49.535 --> 00:00:53.180 Oh. - Woah - Woah. Yeah. 00:00:53.180 --> 00:00:56.400 HP, gave me, type C. So this, Specter X360, 00:00:56.400 --> 00:00:59.980 is like a full generational update, over the last one. 00:00:59.980 --> 00:01:05.400 It also comes in this nice, it's not quite black, but basically black color. 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, 00:01:09.240 --> 00:01:12.640 but it also kind of, gives me like, Chromebook vibes, if that makes sense. 00:01:12.640 --> 00:01:16.430 So, this is what we have for I/O. We have, Thunderbolt four, one there, 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 00:01:21.000 --> 00:01:24.660 and a micro SD card reader. Around on the other side, 00:01:24.660 --> 00:01:28.490 we have, a USB type A, with one of these funky little fold down Chamois. 00:01:28.490 --> 00:01:32.330 An HDMI, 2.1 port. And wait. 00:01:32.330 --> 00:01:37.482 Okay. Scratch what I said before, your headphone- microphone combo, is on this edge right here. 00:01:37.482 --> 00:01:41.210 And over here is the charging port. 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, 00:01:47.270 --> 00:01:51.240 down to the sides. And I imagine, that they sound really great. 00:01:51.240 --> 00:01:54.703 And what also sounds really great, is our sponsor today. MSI. 00:01:54.703 --> 00:01:58.410 Thanks to MSI for sponsoring this video. MSI has released their first microphone 00:01:58.410 --> 00:02:01.570 designed for streaming. The MSI, IMMERSE, GV60. 00:02:01.570 --> 00:02:04.810 Whether you're singing, running a podcast or gaming, this microphone offers 00:02:04.810 --> 00:02:08.840 four pickup patterns to fit your needs. It features, high resolution digital audio, 00:02:08.840 --> 00:02:12.500 offers real time monitoring , on the fly controls and plug and play functionality, 00:02:12.500 --> 00:02:15.803 to help make your stream sound great or remaining easy to run. Learn more about the, 00:02:15.803 --> 00:02:18.893 MSI IMMEERSE GV 60, streaming microphone, at the link below. 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. 00:02:25.120 --> 00:02:28.764 Okay. Yep. That's OLED. Those are some deep blacks. 00:02:28.764 --> 00:02:33.330 That is an awesome background for just showing off how excellent, 00:02:33.330 --> 00:02:36.370 your black levels are, on your display. Good job, HP. 00:02:36.370 --> 00:02:39.910 What is super cool about this though? And you probably noticed it, 00:02:39.910 --> 00:02:42.950 down here below the keyboard, is that we have, RTX graphics. 00:02:42.950 --> 00:02:46.490 So, inside of this, is NVIDIA RTX 3050. 00:02:46.490 --> 00:02:50.520 We also have an Intel i7-11390H, 00:02:50.520 --> 00:02:54.100 love their naming schemes. 16 gigabytes of RAM, 00:02:54.100 --> 00:02:59.240 Wi-Fi 6E. And, a 1 terabyte SSD with Optane. 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, 00:03:03.102 --> 00:03:09.650 my least favorite part, of this laptop. So, the 11390H, 00:03:09.650 --> 00:03:15.082 is a 4 core 8 thread processor. And as of a couple weeks ago, it sucks. 00:03:15.082 --> 00:03:18.100 So, if you buy this laptop, in a couple months, 00:03:18.100 --> 00:03:21.460 it'll probably come with, a P-series processor from Intel, 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, 00:03:28.040 --> 00:03:33.890 8 efficiency cores. You'll have like 10% more single threaded performance, 00:03:33.890 --> 00:03:38.590 heaps more multi-threaded, and way more battery life. 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, 00:03:43.080 --> 00:03:46.460 I would've been like, wicked. They did such a good job. 00:03:46.460 --> 00:03:51.440 They have the RTX 3050, and this, thin, relatively light machine. 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 00:03:55.700 --> 00:03:59.120 that I would want in a laptop. That's like, this great job. 00:03:59.120 --> 00:04:02.903 And now it's like, great job, in a couple months when you refresh it. 00:04:02.903 --> 00:04:08.220 (bleep) How much is the laptop? The one you want, starts at $1,700. 00:04:08.220 --> 00:04:11.325 And this one right here, is over two grand. 00:04:11.325 --> 00:04:17.340 - Ooh - She's pricey. It is pretty interesting, seeing these two laptops, side by side, 00:04:17.340 --> 00:04:22.510 the screens are both 16 by 9, although, HP's is just so much bigger. 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. 00:04:28.630 --> 00:04:31.970 So the screen's, right beside, like your keyboard. 00:04:31.970 --> 00:04:36.210 Whereas HP, has this kind of, dual hinge on the go. 00:04:36.210 --> 00:04:39.400 Which does add, a fair bit of height. 00:04:39.400 --> 00:04:40.663 But at the same time, 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, 00:04:46.290 --> 00:04:50.220 that is going to be very awesome. Yeah, let's see how this laptop works, 00:04:50.220 --> 00:04:53.519 as an actual laptop. I'm guessing the keyboard is excellent 00:04:53.519 --> 00:04:57.680 (keyboard being pressed) and it is. This is, a different feeling keyboard, 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. 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. 00:05:08.670 --> 00:05:11.880 That's something that, HP in the past, was kind of bad for. 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. 00:05:18.410 --> 00:05:21.560 Okay. It's actually a lot smaller, but you can see like, 00:05:21.560 --> 00:05:26.512 based off, of my grease, from my hands I don't use, from here to here, 00:05:26.512 --> 00:05:31.620 or there to there. So, I think that this one, is gonna be perfectly fine. 00:05:31.620 --> 00:05:36.070 One thing that I did just notice, and this is again, 00:05:36.070 --> 00:05:40.060 the complaint that I always have with OLEDs. There is a little bit of that, 00:05:40.060 --> 00:05:44.127 kind of weird, graininess that I always find problematic on these. 00:05:44.127 --> 00:05:49.720 You're not going to care about it too much, unless you have full white displays. 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. 00:05:55.250 --> 00:05:58.770 You're going to see the graininess. I don't think that's a bad thing, 00:05:58.770 --> 00:06:02.320 because ,realistically, I'm not going to recommend 00:06:02.320 --> 00:06:06.720 you buy the OLED, on this anyway. Because it's super expensive 00:06:06.720 --> 00:06:10.440 and HP's non OLED screens, are really, really good. 00:06:10.440 --> 00:06:14.630 The Chassis rigidity, on this laptop, is fantastic. 00:06:14.630 --> 00:06:18.630 It is, one of the best built laptops on the market, easily. 00:06:18.630 --> 00:06:22.363 The whole thing's made, from Recycled CNC aluminum. I don't know. 00:06:22.363 --> 00:06:25.640 I would've never guessed, this was once, Pepsi cans. 00:06:25.640 --> 00:06:29.440 There's one part of this laptop that I've been super excited to try out. 00:06:29.440 --> 00:06:34.310 And that is the webcam. Well, there's the webcam. It's a five megapixel jolly. 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. 00:06:40.900 --> 00:06:44.270 But there's another thing. Yes. Ah, here it is. 00:06:44.270 --> 00:06:50.590 The HP glam cam. I can already tell you that, this webcam is excellent. 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. 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, 00:07:00.227 --> 00:07:04.380 you get up and walk away, it should lock itself. 00:07:04.380 --> 00:07:08.400 We'll see if it does. Yep. It's locked. 00:07:08.400 --> 00:07:13.030 Perfect. - Yay. - That's nice. Now, Wake on approach. 00:07:13.030 --> 00:07:17.050 Let's turn that back on. So, now with wake on approach, let's see, 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. 00:07:21.406 --> 00:07:24.030 Boom. Boom .Boom 00:07:25.320 --> 00:07:28.940 Sitting down. That was freaking wicked. 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. 00:07:34.517 --> 00:07:37.860 This is a gimmick, but I think it's pretty funny. 00:07:37.860 --> 00:07:42.593 Jono, come over here and try and look at, what I am looking at. 00:07:44.450 --> 00:07:47.815 And here browsing photos. Oh, there we go. 00:07:47.815 --> 00:07:51.970 It did immediately blur it. - It's not that blurred. - Yeah. It's not that blurred. 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? 00:07:56.280 --> 00:08:01.150 Crab rave. (upbeat music playing) 00:08:01.150 --> 00:08:07.323 HP, normally has, really good speakers. And so far, these are also very good. 00:08:07.323 --> 00:08:10.257 (upbeat music playing) Nice. 00:08:12.020 --> 00:08:15.623 There's not, a lot of bass, but it's all very clear. 00:08:16.596 --> 00:08:20.541 Go, Dell. (upbeat music playing) 00:08:20.541 --> 00:08:26.070 Hmm. Now, I'm going to say right now, 00:08:26.070 --> 00:08:29.810 the Dell speakers, are better, but they sound worse. 00:08:29.810 --> 00:08:33.290 Because Dell's audio drivers, on Windows 11, 00:08:33.290 --> 00:08:37.700 have been one of the worst experiences, I have ever had with a laptop. 00:08:37.700 --> 00:08:43.760 They're, actually, so bad. The image quality, is very comparable. 00:08:43.760 --> 00:08:47.920 The HP, does have the edge, on the black levels. 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. 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. 00:09:00.900 --> 00:09:05.230 And the increased power consumption. I would just, get their normal LCD display, 00:09:05.230 --> 00:09:08.230 and save myself, a couple hundred bucks. Guess, what else do we have to do? 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, 00:09:12.317 --> 00:09:16.670 performance, while also capturing. 00:09:16.670 --> 00:09:21.460 So, it's kind of, worst case, for this poor laptop, but at the same time, 00:09:21.460 --> 00:09:27.490 I imagine, it's going to be fine. Okay. So we're on, 1080P low, 00:09:27.490 --> 00:09:31.760 and we're getting like 24FPS. actually I'm going to stop OBS. 00:09:31.760 --> 00:09:34.870 So, we went from like, 23 to 26FPS by Darknet. 00:09:34.870 --> 00:09:38.280 So, NVIDIA's NVENC encoder, is still good 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, 00:09:43.940 --> 00:09:47.880 having a 3050 is going to be nice. If you want to play AAA games, 00:09:47.880 --> 00:09:52.320 manage your expectations, is what I'm going to say. Oh wow, nevermind. 00:09:52.320 --> 00:09:56.402 This thing's great. Just put in, performance mode, and my FPS doubled right there. 00:09:56.402 --> 00:10:02.320 (Vlogger laughs) Wow. We're getting F50 FPSs, in ValHeim. 00:10:02.320 --> 00:10:05.780 This is perfectly good. I'm sure that, you could play, like 1080P low, 00:10:05.780 --> 00:10:09.240 You're gonna be having a great time. One thing I wanna point at, right here, 00:10:09.240 --> 00:10:12.260 that I really don't like on HP laptops, 00:10:12.260 --> 00:10:16.120 are these rubber pieces that go straight across the bottom. 00:10:16.120 --> 00:10:19.640 I say that because, when they come off, you can't put them back on. 00:10:19.640 --> 00:10:23.640 They stretch and it's weird. And, as part of my Intel upgrade, 00:10:23.640 --> 00:10:26.060 my girlfriend got an HP NV14. 00:10:26.950 --> 00:10:31.520 Fantastic laptop overall, but the rubber foot, after just a couple months, 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. 00:10:36.130 --> 00:10:39.530 So, in here we can see that you get, an 83Wh battery. 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. 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. 00:10:51.880 --> 00:10:55.764 The repairability of this, as a whole, is excellent. 00:10:55.764 --> 00:11:00.270 I watched the tear down guide. And so, you're able to remove the battery, 00:11:00.270 --> 00:11:03.860 track pads is replaceable, keyboard is replaceable, screen is replaceable. 00:11:03.860 --> 00:11:07.440 Even the webcam, you can replace. Like it's a separate little module. 00:11:07.440 --> 00:11:11.930 Awesome. It would be pretty much top tier, repairability scores, 00:11:11.930 --> 00:11:17.190 except the RAM is hard. Which sucks. 'Cause you can only buy 16 gigabytes. 00:11:17.190 --> 00:11:23.680 And, given that this has like, the GPU and a pretty decent CPU, 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. 00:11:29.080 --> 00:11:32.500 Cause overall, this is quite a fantastic laptop. 00:11:32.500 --> 00:11:36.396 Like, if you want, a powerful flippier, roundy laptop, 00:11:36.396 --> 00:11:39.690 this is potentially the best one. Like look at these fans. 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, 00:11:44.130 --> 00:11:49.100 like, the cooler, works just fine. It's really annoying, that you only get 16 gigabytes. 00:11:49.100 --> 00:11:54.260 So yeah, this is kind of like, this is the, super close laptop. 00:11:54.260 --> 00:11:58.020 I just wish, that they gave you, a little bit more RAM 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. 00:12:02.860 --> 00:12:06.276 That's my conclusion. Thanks for watching. Bye.
