manages to sit between 5 and 10% CPU usage while idling at the desktop other than that the bloatware installations were really not that bad the webcam is super mediocre something that I wish wasn't true of any device that's advertised as being for business use on a manufacturer's website and the click pad while gesture enabled frustrated me with its inability to register left clicks when you touch the very edge of the pad during two-handed operation though with that said it has boatloads of customization options and as long as your name isn't line of Sebastian you'll probably get it working just fine for you as long as you don't mind the below average size which I guess draws us perfectly then into the conclusion the last time I looked at a somethingest laptop in the world it was the gram and I praised LG for finding a unique identity for their product and seeing it through even if it meant some compromises that hurt usability but what was different about what LG did was that instead of beating out the competition by a hair in a way that's not really noticeable day today while hurting the everyday convenience of the device single type a port would have helped a lot here they crushed the competition I mean the gram is 10% lighter than even the Spectre whose screen is 2 in smaller diagonally in a way that stands out much more to me than another thin and light even though it's the thinnest one yet with that said hp's Target customer is not me that much was obvious from the moment that I wanted to plug in a mouse and a UB key for multiactor authentication and needed to search high and low for another adapter separate from the one that they helpfully by the way do include in the box but while it would be easy for me then to say well just buy the razor blade stealth that makes a lot more sense I mean if I'm carrying a laptop already what's another 2 mm for higher performance a touchscreen and a more premium feel the stealth also completely misses the style Mark for the young professional demographic that HP appears to be targeting with the Spectre and that's something that I think they nailed so if you're a yepy or a yucky or whatever it is that they call them these days and it's between this and a Macbook I'd say take the Spector for sure and you know what else I'd take for sure a look at massdrop.com they've got all kinds of great deals and the principle is pretty simple massdrop has this massive community of people who want to buy cool stuff but don't want to pay full price and they've got great connections with authorized Distributors and directly with manuf facturers who want to sell stuff to those people so they bring them together they go hey we got a bunch of people who want to buy it can you lower the price they go hey we got a lower price y'all want to buy it everybody freaking wins and they've even gone a step further beyond that very successful formula and collaborated with certain manufacturers to create massdrop Edition products and the one that we're highlighting today is the K7 XX Mass drop Edition headphones from AKG now if you're not familiar with with that particular headphone it's the same as the k7xx that I checked out in my video which you can look at up here but in a nutshell they were configured by massdrop and manufactured by AKG they're open-backed headphones with large cushy ear cups genuine leather on the headbands and memory foam ear pads with Valour covering they've got a 2-year warranty which is covered by mast drop and you can order from anywhere but a $25 fee will be assessed on International orders still a pretty darn good deal though check it out at the link in the video description thanks for watching guys if this video sucked you know what to do but if it was awesome get
