WEBVTT

00:00:07.359 --> 00:00:12.840
welcome to my unboxing of something that's actually pretty exciting now I

00:00:10.880 --> 00:00:19.560
have to confess this is a bit of a hack because this has been unboxed clearly

00:00:16.400 --> 00:00:22.320
before also this is a French model so um

00:00:19.560 --> 00:00:25.680
for those English folks in the uh in the audience this might be a little bit oh

00:00:23.680 --> 00:00:30.039
no this is oh this is English I think on the inner carton it's French okay so

00:00:27.160 --> 00:00:34.719
14in diagonal Radiance HD plus infinity the LED display so this is a 1600x 900

00:00:33.079 --> 00:00:38.760
display on a 14-in model which means you got pretty good pixel density 128 gig M

00:00:37.239 --> 00:00:43.680
SATA solid state drive although you can get it with a 256 4 gigs of RAM only one

00:00:41.920 --> 00:00:48.280
RAM slot so you're pretty much limited to 4 gigs of RAM although this is sort

00:00:45.320 --> 00:00:52.559
of an Ultrabook style form factor um so you it's not really intended for heavy

00:00:50.399 --> 00:00:57.120
usage wireless land Bluetooth second generation core i5 dual core processor

00:00:54.800 --> 00:01:04.199
at 1.6 GHz genuine Windows 7 Home Premium and let's get this baby open up

00:01:00.440 --> 00:01:06.040
so this is meant to compete directly or

00:01:04.199 --> 00:01:14.159
well let's not say compete directly this is meant to capture the customers who

00:01:08.400 --> 00:01:17.400
want a beautiful premium notebook and

00:01:14.159 --> 00:01:19.479
just aren't interested in OS 10 because

00:01:17.400 --> 00:01:23.560
or 11 are we up to 11 now I don't know whatever whatever Apple's OS is who

00:01:21.040 --> 00:01:26.560
cares cuz it sucks right um although no offense to the Apple users out there

00:01:25.040 --> 00:01:31.720
it's just every time I sit down in front of an Apple OS and try to do something

00:01:28.759 --> 00:01:36.079
actually save for iOS I can handle iOS I I just like horribly break it within a

00:01:33.880 --> 00:01:40.680
matter of seconds so uh here's a little diagram in English and French this is a

00:01:38.040 --> 00:01:44.200
bilingual model of all of the stuff so we're going to save that because that is

00:01:42.520 --> 00:01:49.159
a pretty handy reference for people who do unboxings here is a cool little uh

00:01:47.079 --> 00:01:53.520
neoprene case that it comes in to keep it from getting scratched and damaged

00:01:51.240 --> 00:01:57.719
although that's less of a factor than you might think because this whole

00:01:56.000 --> 00:02:01.920
notebook yes the entire top and I'm sorry see it has fingerprints on it

00:01:59.079 --> 00:02:09.560
already cuz it's to been unboxed before there we go we'll just fix that

00:02:05.360 --> 00:02:12.560
this whole notebook top and

00:02:09.560 --> 00:02:15.560
screen if I could turn it around the

00:02:12.560 --> 00:02:18.400
right way top and screen is done in

00:02:15.560 --> 00:02:23.519
Gorilla Glass so that means this is one of the most scratch resistant notebooks

00:02:21.000 --> 00:02:27.080
you will pretty much ever encounter so you can see here we've got an aluminum

00:02:25.519 --> 00:02:32.319
sort of a looking um just sec

00:02:30.400 --> 00:02:36.440
sorry aluminum sort of looking e finish although it is made of plastic on the

00:02:34.440 --> 00:02:42.239
main part of the shell down here below so this again is plastic as well but it

00:02:39.560 --> 00:02:45.599
feels very very solid and one of the reasons for that is probably the fact

00:02:43.840 --> 00:02:50.280
that it has more glass so there's actually another piece of Gorilla Glass

00:02:48.159 --> 00:02:54.760
right here and what I like about this is on so many notebooks you go to use the

00:02:52.800 --> 00:02:58.879
thing you know it looks great the first time you use it but then after a little

00:02:56.280 --> 00:03:04.799
while you get these horrible ugly like palm prints under the keyboard that just

00:03:01.560 --> 00:03:06.360
look disgusting and awful and there's no

00:03:04.799 --> 00:03:10.280
getting rid of them however if you put glass there as well as glass here almost

00:03:08.640 --> 00:03:15.440
all of the usable surfaces of this entire notebook are going to be

00:03:12.560 --> 00:03:19.720
completely impervious to just incidental damage especially given that they're

00:03:16.799 --> 00:03:24.000
made of Gorilla Glass there's also couple little notes here thank you for

00:03:21.000 --> 00:03:25.319
selecting HP Envy um got a bit about

00:03:24.000 --> 00:03:30.480
your support there so what's cool about the support for this particular model is it has a 2-year warranty and it's

00:03:29.519 --> 00:03:34.799
actually um what you do is you basically call HP

00:03:33.239 --> 00:03:39.280
support and if there's anything they can't solve for you over the phone then

00:03:37.360 --> 00:03:46.040
they will ship you something that you need uh next day so very very cool comes

00:03:42.400 --> 00:03:48.680
with a travel adapter as well as an ac2

00:03:46.040 --> 00:03:52.640
uh DC adapter which hey check that out also includes a little USB auxiliary

00:03:50.560 --> 00:03:56.400
dudad so that means that you can charge your phone at the same time off the same

00:03:54.560 --> 00:04:00.799
charger just by having your laptop plugged in without actually plugging the

00:03:58.400 --> 00:04:04.599
phone directly into the laptop top which I don't know may be more or less of a

00:04:02.480 --> 00:04:10.040
concern to you depending on whether you have a phone or not um let's go back to

00:04:08.159 --> 00:04:14.000
the notebook so let's talk about the external first so this part is

00:04:12.000 --> 00:04:18.560
definitely aluminum and then you can see it is kind of a sandwiched aluminum

00:04:16.040 --> 00:04:21.840
rimmed two pieces of glass thing and you know what yeah this is totally

00:04:19.919 --> 00:04:25.440
appropriate in this case so whether you guys like it or not we are totally

00:04:23.360 --> 00:04:30.280
whipping out the iPhone comparison so you can see the screen here is actually

00:04:27.960 --> 00:04:35.759
about as thick as just the the aluminum portion of the iPhone which is uh it it

00:04:33.039 --> 00:04:39.479
it looks just beautiful guys um we've got a lit HP logo right here and I'm

00:04:37.840 --> 00:04:43.000
trying not to catch SL slick in the reflection here but I don't know if

00:04:40.840 --> 00:04:47.759
there's much that I can do uh very very black looking and then on this side

00:04:45.199 --> 00:04:53.759
what's cool about the LED backlit 1600x 900 screen here is that HP has actually

00:04:50.560 --> 00:04:56.120
gone with a super slim bezel design that

00:04:53.759 --> 00:05:01.240
allowed them to put a 14-in display in what would normally be a 13.3 in

00:04:59.120 --> 00:05:06.000
Notebook form factor so you get a bigger screen as well as that high pixel

00:05:03.919 --> 00:05:09.919
density which means that you can do more on the PC now you do have that

00:05:08.160 --> 00:05:14.800
additional glare that comes with using a glass screen personally I love having

00:05:12.720 --> 00:05:19.720
glass in front of a panel that's my number one choice followed shortly by

00:05:16.720 --> 00:05:22.280
matte screens followed very distantly by

00:05:19.720 --> 00:05:26.919
shiny plastic screens um I think the glass adds a lot of Vibrance it adds

00:05:24.160 --> 00:05:31.560
crispness um personally I like it not everyone does I think it's fantastic and

00:05:29.880 --> 00:05:34.520
if I could upgrade my personal monitor to a glass screen monitor then I would

00:05:33.160 --> 00:05:39.360
love to but I'm waiting for someone to do a beautiful 30-in glass panel monitor

00:05:37.280 --> 00:05:43.000
which hasn't happened yet um okay so here we have a backlit keyboard as you

00:05:41.360 --> 00:05:48.240
can see this is a bilingual layout however if you were to buy this in the US then you would not see the bilingual

00:05:46.000 --> 00:05:51.880
layout as far as bilingual layouts go they haven't uh they haven't butchered

00:05:49.720 --> 00:05:55.240
it too badly sometimes you see bilingual layouts that make it impossible to hit

00:05:53.319 --> 00:05:59.160
anything but you know both your shift keys are somewhat intact the enter key I

00:05:57.600 --> 00:06:04.520
always like seeing the bigger Enter key but there's not a whole lot we can do about it it's Canadian law and such and

00:06:02.840 --> 00:06:08.000
I don't know what this does I wonder what this does okay you know what let's

00:06:06.560 --> 00:06:12.800
go into some of the other some of the other features here so um cool sense is

00:06:10.240 --> 00:06:16.360
kind of neat what cool sense does is it's basically a temperature controlled

00:06:14.479 --> 00:06:19.960
fan which isn't rocket science we've been seeing this on the PC side on the

00:06:18.199 --> 00:06:23.319
desktop for a long time but on a notebook what's kind of neat about it is

00:06:21.560 --> 00:06:26.680
that it keeps your pals from getting hot so that's the way that they've tuned it

00:06:25.240 --> 00:06:30.599
is so that as soon as the laptop starts to get hot enough that your palms would

00:06:28.440 --> 00:06:34.759
get that heat and sweatin Factor going on it kicks in the fan so that's kind of

00:06:33.080 --> 00:06:38.039
neat it also comes with two years of Norton Internet Security so whatever you

00:06:36.400 --> 00:06:41.680
may or may not think about Norton it comes with two years as opposed to like

00:06:39.639 --> 00:06:47.960
you know the stupid 30-day trial that insists upon being installed and you f

00:06:45.720 --> 00:06:52.160
it takes forever to remove it also comes with full copies of adobe Premier

00:06:49.680 --> 00:06:56.280
elements and Adobe Photoshop Elements which is like a compelling value ad

00:06:54.880 --> 00:07:00.360
because if you price those pieces of software out they are not cheap and they

00:06:58.560 --> 00:07:05.759
are significantly more functional than the ones that are included with Windows

00:07:02.720 --> 00:07:08.560
I mean what like paint and Windows Movie

00:07:05.759 --> 00:07:14.520
Maker like they're not even in the same kind

00:07:10.160 --> 00:07:18.000
of yeah whatever okay moving on we have

00:07:14.520 --> 00:07:21.240
DisplayPort out HDMI out Ethernet check

00:07:18.000 --> 00:07:23.039
that out fulls sizee RJ45 how Innovative

00:07:21.240 --> 00:07:27.599
a solution is that so they've managed to maintain a Slimmer than RJ45 form factor

00:07:26.039 --> 00:07:33.520
just using this little hinge right here to allow you to fit in your Ethernet

00:07:29.039 --> 00:07:36.759
port uh we've got uh oh they haven't

00:07:33.520 --> 00:07:40.000
colorcoded their USB 3 okay so this

00:07:36.759 --> 00:07:41.879
guy's usb3 this guy's USB 2 you can tell

00:07:40.000 --> 00:07:46.240
from how many pins are inside here's a microphone out SD card

00:07:44.280 --> 00:07:50.599
reader on the front we got a little Beats logo yes this is one of hp's Beats

00:07:48.440 --> 00:07:55.240
notebooks and I will explain more about that on the other side we have a mute

00:07:51.960 --> 00:07:58.520
button we have a volume switch so this

00:07:55.240 --> 00:08:00.639
is meant to be fine control um volume

00:07:58.520 --> 00:08:06.240
switch you you can see it actually spins an awful lot wow am I still spinning

00:08:03.199 --> 00:08:07.759
this yeah I'm still spinning it huh oh

00:08:06.240 --> 00:08:11.560
okay check it out there's a little animated thing on the screen it spins

00:08:10.000 --> 00:08:17.440
when I spin the dial cool nice little touches uh this is

00:08:15.400 --> 00:08:21.240
also another audio control button so what this guy does is you press the

00:08:19.000 --> 00:08:26.639
button and it comes up with a little uh hold on wait for it yes comes up with a

00:08:24.520 --> 00:08:29.919
little um you know thing that you could also access if you right clicked and

00:08:28.039 --> 00:08:33.880
went to playback devices and recording devices down in the system tray but here

00:08:32.399 --> 00:08:37.959
it is all in one nice little sort of menu for you uh We've also got our power

00:08:35.719 --> 00:08:41.800
in over here and that pretty much does it I mean you don't get a ton of IO on

00:08:39.680 --> 00:08:46.560
these uh super slim notebooks here we have our ventilation at the back as well

00:08:44.240 --> 00:08:51.399
as four rubber feet for the whole thing to sit on the battery is Big so this is

00:08:49.040 --> 00:08:53.640
to release the battery and uh we're we're not going to release the battery

00:08:52.399 --> 00:09:01.040
since we're running off battery right now but um we've also got speakers here at

00:08:57.120 --> 00:09:03.399
the front that's pretty much it

00:09:01.040 --> 00:09:07.440
see if we're missing anything so oh yeah it supports wiy it also supports

00:09:05.519 --> 00:09:11.000
wireless audio so with supported devices you can actually not just Bluetooth but

00:09:09.480 --> 00:09:16.560
with supported wireless headphone devices you can actually just stream

00:09:12.720 --> 00:09:16.560
directly to them

00:09:16.760 --> 00:09:22.160
um fulls size ports then bezel backlit

00:09:20.160 --> 00:09:28.079
keyboard oh yeah the keyboard detects your presence so I haven't actually

00:09:24.040 --> 00:09:29.800
tested this but in theory when you go

00:09:28.079 --> 00:09:35.000
away from it for a while and then you walk up to it the uh the backl actually

00:09:32.920 --> 00:09:39.399
actually turns on so that's that's just sort of one of those things that's kind

00:09:36.920 --> 00:09:43.880
of kind of neat ah yes the robust hinge so the difference between cheap

00:09:41.320 --> 00:09:48.519
notebooks I mean I I know we went over sort of the speeds and everything in

00:09:46.079 --> 00:09:52.959
this notebooks very briefly um however that's not necessarily all there is to

00:09:50.240 --> 00:09:57.200
it build quality is huge so not all notebooks you can take the hinge and go

00:09:55.200 --> 00:10:02.279
like this and not worry about something bad happening so between the SSD inside

00:09:59.839 --> 00:10:06.560
and the robust design of the hinge HP was very comfortable with me doing this

00:10:04.040 --> 00:10:10.959
demo on this notebook because build quality does mean something so the glass

00:10:08.519 --> 00:10:14.959
screen the robust hinge the keyboard that has almost no flex to it whatsoever

00:10:13.519 --> 00:10:21.880
that's one of the marks of the build quality of a notebook walk up to it in the store and go like this uh like this

00:10:19.760 --> 00:10:25.120
go like this go like this on the keyboard and see how much Flex there is

00:10:23.680 --> 00:10:29.079
to it if there's a lot of flex I guarantee you it's a cheap plastic Shell

00:10:27.040 --> 00:10:32.920
versus being a higher quality shell I think that pretty much covers it don't

00:10:30.959 --> 00:10:36.480
forget to subscribe to lonus Tech tips for more unboxings reviews and other

00:10:34.720 --> 00:10:40.800
computer videos and I hope you guys have enjoyed this one about the Beats andv

00:10:38.720 --> 00:10:44.000
Spectre now there is a spectre XT which is a lower-end model if you're buying a

00:10:42.600 --> 00:10:47.720
spectre I would definitely recommend going with this one cuz it comes with

00:10:45.680 --> 00:10:53.279
the scratch resistant gorilla glass as well as just being generally a very very

00:10:50.639 --> 00:10:56.639
Sleek looking little notebook slick wanted to show the battery and that was

00:10:54.720 --> 00:11:01.200
a good idea actually so we just uh trigger these take this off and here's

00:10:58.720 --> 00:11:06.320
the battery so uh HP quotes a 9h hour battery life on this uh on this model if

00:11:03.560 --> 00:11:09.480
I recall correctly and you can see why because the on the internals here look

00:11:08.279 --> 00:11:14.519
like look look at this see how the battery goes all the way down to the bottom almost half of the internals of

00:11:13.120 --> 00:11:18.600
this whole whole notebook are the battery so that's what keeps that Intel

00:11:16.320 --> 00:11:26.639
dual core running for such an extended period of time um in spite of the very

00:11:22.480 --> 00:11:26.639
very slim form factor
