WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.720 We're here at CES 2024 in the HyperX Arena Checo HP's brand new laptop starting with the spectre 00:00:06.720 --> 00:00:13.040 and also we have an Omen transcend that looks like a fantastic gaming laptop. This thing right here 00:00:13.040 --> 00:00:16.720 though man I don't know if you guys remember what the old spectre looked like but it had 00:00:16.720 --> 00:00:22.080 diamond cut edges all the way along the side that were for one sharp I don't like sharp laptops 00:00:22.080 --> 00:00:26.560 and also they just look kind of I don't know it wasn't good it wasn't bad but it was certainly a 00:00:26.560 --> 00:00:31.680 vibe and this one right here I really like the way that they've rounded it off it feels great to 00:00:31.680 --> 00:00:38.080 just hold like this but they have maintained that little diamond-edged corner right here so if you 00:00:38.080 --> 00:00:43.760 look at the IO we have Thunderbolt 4 another Thunderbolt 4 that's at a 45 degree angle they say 00:00:43.760 --> 00:00:48.320 that's great so you can have your know your charger going off to the side instead of directly into your 00:00:48.320 --> 00:00:54.880 mouse then on the other side 3.5 millimeter headphone jack and USB type A it has all aluminum 00:00:54.880 --> 00:01:00.240 construction so it's a little bit on the heaviest side compared to a magnesium laptop that's 14 00:01:00.240 --> 00:01:05.840 inch but at just over three pounds it is not too bad and the build quality is absolutely fantastic 00:01:05.840 --> 00:01:11.680 like if we give her a big old reef on it here you can see this table is a lot less stable than this 00:01:11.680 --> 00:01:17.360 laptop we had to move because they started playing copyrighted music there's a party starting but the 00:01:17.360 --> 00:01:26.800 real party is how good is this keyboard let us see it is awesome I would give it an easy A it doesn't 00:01:26.800 --> 00:01:33.040 quite get the A plus that the dragonfly has but you know when you're making one of the best laptops 00:01:34.240 --> 00:01:42.080 yeah not an A plus but a solid A which is better than most what we also have here is a new haptic 00:01:42.080 --> 00:01:47.680 touchpad so this right here is using little force sensors and PZOs so that when you press on it 00:01:47.680 --> 00:01:53.280 instead of it actually clicking it's vibrating and giving you a little tactile bit now it doesn't 00:01:53.280 --> 00:01:58.800 feel quite like how I would want it but the wonderful thing about haptic touchpads look 00:01:58.800 --> 00:02:06.080 at this I can go right down in here change the intensity and now there we go I like it about 00:02:06.080 --> 00:02:11.520 right there so that's what I love about these force touch pads you can sort of adjust how much force 00:02:11.520 --> 00:02:18.160 it takes to actuate it and just tune it to how you like love it also what I love this display 00:02:18.160 --> 00:02:25.840 it is 2.8 k 120 hertz but it goes down to 48 in order to save you battery life and it just 00:02:26.640 --> 00:02:31.600 looks fantastic did I mention that it's OLED because you would not be mistaking that for something 00:02:31.600 --> 00:02:37.520 else look look at those blacks handy they say it has up to 400 nit peak brightness which is 00:02:37.520 --> 00:02:42.880 not the brightest that we've seen but at the same time with that contrast of the OLED man 00:02:42.880 --> 00:02:50.800 does it ever look good also it's a little 14 inch laptop with 120 hertz display I absolutely love 00:02:50.800 --> 00:02:55.360 that laptops even like the more professional ones are starting to get high refresh rate and also 00:02:57.200 --> 00:03:03.280 you can do that if you want I don't but you can now to get into the specter you can use either a 00:03:03.280 --> 00:03:08.400 fingerprint up on the power button right here best spot to have that or Windows hello facial 00:03:08.400 --> 00:03:14.560 recognition up top and that is attached to an excellent webcam so this thing right here 00:03:14.560 --> 00:03:22.800 is nine megapixels in a webcam all right how is this webcam wow this is a challenging environment 00:03:22.800 --> 00:03:29.040 bunch of direct lights but if I move around here wow that that is sharp you can see that my hair is 00:03:29.120 --> 00:03:35.040 kind of being a bit strange normally you can't do that with a webcam and it is so good exposing 00:03:35.040 --> 00:03:41.280 for my face look at Andy he's got the super bright light rig here but we can also still see detail 00:03:41.280 --> 00:03:47.120 in the black areas and it is always exposing for my face excellent job HP one of my favorite things 00:03:47.120 --> 00:03:51.600 to do at CES is to ask if I can take it apart everyone always says no and then you ask a couple 00:03:51.600 --> 00:03:57.920 more times and then you get to take it apart four T five screws later and we can get into this thing 00:03:57.920 --> 00:04:04.560 right here and see their cooling solution so we have two fans two heat pipes we have them up to 00:04:04.560 --> 00:04:16.080 an Intel Ultra 7 155 H and also we have up to 32 gigabytes of RAM at 74 67 mega transfers per second 00:04:16.080 --> 00:04:21.200 that unfortunately is soldered right here but you also cannot get those kind of speeds with 00:04:21.280 --> 00:04:27.920 sodoms here we have a removable Wi-Fi card that's up to Wi-Fi 7 and a removable SSD so you can't 00:04:27.920 --> 00:04:33.920 upgrade that in the future here we have our 68 watt hour battery which is absolutely massive look 00:04:33.920 --> 00:04:39.040 at how much of the laptop that is taking up and they say that it will get you up to 14 hours of 00:04:39.040 --> 00:04:45.680 battery life and even though a lot of laptop manufacturers I'm like HP is generally pretty 00:04:45.680 --> 00:04:52.080 good but we will have to test in the lab to know for sure if you want a larger battery though and 00:04:52.080 --> 00:04:59.840 a lot more power here is the new Spectre 16 this guy right here is essentially the same except well 00:04:59.840 --> 00:05:06.560 larger obviously we have an HDMI 2.1 on the side in addition to the rest of the IO which remains 00:05:06.560 --> 00:05:13.280 unchanged and also we have an up to an RTX 4050 in this thing so I could see a lot of content 00:05:13.280 --> 00:05:18.880 creators being drawn towards this when maybe you're not so happy with what Dell's done with 00:05:18.880 --> 00:05:26.640 their most recent refreshes also here we have look at the size of this track pad it's absolutely 00:05:26.640 --> 00:05:32.640 massive now sadly I don't know how many watts the 4050 and this will be able to consume so I can't 00:05:32.640 --> 00:05:39.200 comment on just how powerful this will be but at the same time if you're looking at this you're 00:05:39.200 --> 00:05:43.840 probably not looking for the most powerful laptop you just want something that's nice to go around 00:05:43.840 --> 00:05:49.760 it's about four pounds feels great track pad again look at this track pad and it also has all the 00:05:49.760 --> 00:05:56.800 other things that made the 14 fantastic you do want performance though oh we have the Omen 00:05:56.800 --> 00:06:02.960 Transcend 14 this is a whole new skew every one these days as a 14 inch gaming laptop and this 00:06:02.960 --> 00:06:08.000 right here in my opinion is one of the best one thing that's kind of strange about it is that 00:06:08.000 --> 00:06:14.880 around back we do all of the power delivery over usb-c so it comes with a 140 watt usb-c charger 00:06:14.880 --> 00:06:20.640 and the rest of the io is pretty good around this side they have two usb type a's to make 00:06:20.640 --> 00:06:25.360 sure that the cord of your mouse goes just directly into it while you're gaming around 00:06:25.360 --> 00:06:30.880 back usb-c with power delivery and display out although I could not confirm if this is wired 00:06:30.880 --> 00:06:39.360 up for NVIDIA optimus HDMI 2.1 Thunderbolt 4 and 3.5 millimeter headphone jack now as far as I can 00:06:39.360 --> 00:06:46.640 tell it's all plastic construction on this thing but the build quality is just absolutely fantastic 00:06:46.640 --> 00:06:51.440 I'm gonna have to take this apart and see if it's magnesium just because how did they get something 00:06:51.440 --> 00:06:57.360 that's made out of plastic this stiff like look at that they're even if I if I really reef on it 00:06:57.360 --> 00:07:02.720 does bend a little bit but you aren't going to be doing that day to day for the display we get as 00:07:02.720 --> 00:07:09.360 far as I can tell the same panel that's on the specter 14 but without touch so this right here 00:07:09.360 --> 00:07:15.840 yeah can't be doing any of that but at the same time for a gaming laptop this thing is absolutely 00:07:15.840 --> 00:07:24.400 fantastic so 120 hertz but it's variable so down to 48 and it has full coverage of dcip3 the other 00:07:24.400 --> 00:07:30.160 two do as well but that's kind of expected in a business laptop not so much in a thin gaming 00:07:30.160 --> 00:07:36.240 laptop what should be noted though is that that variable refresh rate is not g-sync so with OLED 00:07:36.240 --> 00:07:42.160 panels it's very difficult to get variable refresh rates because your brightness is somewhat tied 00:07:42.160 --> 00:07:46.880 to your refresh rate so this right here would just have several like I don't know what the numbers 00:07:46.880 --> 00:07:54.640 are but like 48 60 52 blah blah blah up to 120 all pre-calculated for the brightness is to make 00:07:54.640 --> 00:07:59.120 sure that it works just nice now one thing that I was immediately concerned about when I saw this 00:07:59.120 --> 00:08:05.440 design was the keyboard because it is a little bit weird just like how they include McAfee on their 00:08:05.440 --> 00:08:12.640 devices as you can see here though we do have four zones of RGB there is going to be option for 00:08:12.640 --> 00:08:20.800 individual key RGB as well in the future and my fears that they might have screwed it up based 00:08:20.800 --> 00:08:27.600 on the zero lattice design were completely unfounded these right here especially for a gaming laptop 00:08:27.600 --> 00:08:33.200 are some of the best keys that I've felt they have that really nice satisfying travel but also 00:08:33.200 --> 00:08:37.120 if you look there's no key movement when I'm pushing it like this I can push on the side 00:08:37.200 --> 00:08:42.640 whole key actuates at the same time it feels actually fantastic this right here is one of 00:08:42.640 --> 00:08:49.440 the rare gaming laptops where I would like it for both typing and gaming it's maybe even a little 00:08:49.440 --> 00:08:55.440 bit stiff for gaming but I really like typing on my gaming laptops for performance we get up to an 00:08:55.440 --> 00:09:04.400 Intel Ultra 9 185h and an RTX 4070 with up to 80 watts dedicated to GPU with 15 watts of dynamic 00:09:04.480 --> 00:09:10.240 boost HP does claim that this is going to be the best cooled 14 inch laptop which I'm sure is 00:09:10.240 --> 00:09:15.920 something ASUS will be very pleased to hear four Phillips head screws later and we are in it oh wow 00:09:16.720 --> 00:09:23.440 that is one heck of a vapor chamber look look at the size of this guy it just covers the entire 00:09:23.440 --> 00:09:31.120 thing we cannot see any of like the RAM any of the CPU any of the GPU it is just vapor chamber here 00:09:31.120 --> 00:09:35.920 how do you guys not have issues with it like drying out with it being so large that is okay 00:09:36.880 --> 00:09:40.080 maybe they can say it's the best cooled I don't know we'll have to test it later 00:09:40.640 --> 00:09:47.360 also in here we can see that we have our SSD which is removable like to see that and a 71 00:09:47.360 --> 00:09:53.680 watt hour battery that the claim is good for up to 11 hours away from the wall which in a gaming 00:09:53.680 --> 00:09:59.440 laptop like this means that you can kind of just daily drive this thing for all of your needs and 00:09:59.440 --> 00:10:04.080 then just be able to game after instead of a lot of gaming laptops where it's like you can game 00:10:05.040 --> 00:10:10.800 and everything else is pretty bad the Omen transcend 14 is expected to start at $2,000 00:10:11.840 --> 00:10:19.280 the Spectre 14 1499 we're not totally sure about the 16 yet and they're all available now so 00:10:20.080 --> 00:10:25.760 you can you can just do it just like I can do the end of this video thank you for watching hit like 00:10:25.760 --> 00:10:30.720 get subscribed and just have a great old day and maybe you know look at some vapor chambers
