1
00:00:04,720 --> 00:00:09,360
wow that is a strong magnet

2
00:00:07,919 --> 00:00:13,280
in case you didn't know my name is Linus yep hp sponsored

3
00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:18,720
today's video and part of the requirements are that i need to introduce myself so

4
00:00:17,039 --> 00:00:23,760
hi not for the much less awkward part hp's

5
00:00:21,119 --> 00:00:28,400
got a new two-in-one laptop tablet hybrid that looks absolutely fantastic

6
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:32,239
if you've been looking to replace your at-home device with something a little

7
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:34,960
more versatile

8
00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:40,480
short battery life got you down well this

9
00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:46,079
could be the solution we've got a power cable

10
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:52,879
power adapter with a nice sort of fabric style braided cable and perhaps most

11
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:57,199
importantly a really interesting trick

12
00:00:52,879 --> 00:00:59,359
up the sleeve of the hp elite folio

13
00:00:57,199 --> 00:01:02,399
let's take a look at what makes it stand out from the crowd

14
00:01:09,439 --> 00:01:14,720
we've been seeing more and more ARM-based Windows devices recently and

15
00:01:13,119 --> 00:01:18,960
even more are on the way as the software support improves and this guy here is no

16
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:22,479
exception now your configuration may vary depending on where you get yours

17
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:28,720
from and what options you choose but we've got a qualcomm snapdragon 8cx gen

18
00:01:25,439 --> 00:01:32,000
2 processor running between 1.8 and 3.15

19
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:35,200
gigahertz 16 gigs of RAM and a 256 gig

20
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:37,119
and uni SSD for rapid boot times it's a

21
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:42,159
bit deer costing a little under two grand but like i said before this video

22
00:01:39,439 --> 00:01:47,439
is sponsored by hp so obviously we're going to get to the part where we

23
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:49,280
justify the cost later first gaming

24
00:01:47,439 --> 00:01:54,799
performance now obviously this was designed more for

25
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:56,960
video conferencing making annotations to

26
00:01:54,799 --> 00:02:01,200
documents and designs i mean particularly the fact that it has

27
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:05,280
built-in stylus with an actual place to freaking store it i mean how crazy does

28
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:09,759
it make you when you see a product with a stylus and it's like

29
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:14,480
yeah you're just gonna have to keep the stylus in the i don't know the backpack

30
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:18,400
that you now also have to carry around with you instead of just having a

31
00:02:16,319 --> 00:02:23,200
convenient place to tuck it that's built right into the product magnetically

32
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:28,000
that's freaking awesome it's great for browsing the web or getting work done at

33
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:33,440
home or on the go but you know guys were minus tech tips so obviously we were

34
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:36,560
gonna try to game on it rocket league yeah that didn't launch at all and

35
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:42,080
that's going to be the case with most hardcore games but we did manage to get

36
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:47,519
some lighter titles like stardew valley and graveyard keeper running and i'm

37
00:02:44,239 --> 00:02:50,080
going to try graveyard keeper right now

38
00:02:47,519 --> 00:02:55,760
this is awesome this is like actually working yeah co-figure right on a mobile

39
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:59,599
GPU effectively i mean obviously this is not like the world's

40
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:05,200
most graphically intensive game or anything like that but the story here is

41
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:06,720
that like it works right so when you

42
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:10,560
honor you're on a plane and you finally run out of like emails to reply to or

43
00:03:08,959 --> 00:03:14,640
whatever you can go pick some peat moss by the way make

44
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:18,560
sure you're subscribed so you don't miss out on our upcoming video about graphics

45
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:22,400
options in games because you don't have to worry about them here but those max

46
00:03:20,319 --> 00:03:28,159
settings are why do they even exist again we're going to get into that now

47
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:32,640
pivoting though to ideal workloads for the elite folio it's a much more

48
00:03:30,879 --> 00:03:37,280
compelling story one of our writers actually ended up taking one of our two

49
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:41,519
units home to use for a couple of weeks doing everything from browsing reddit

50
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:45,360
before bed and tablet mode to using the pull forward design for displaying

51
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:49,760
recipes in the kitchen to holding scripts in the traditional laptop layout

52
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:55,840
during a shoot and so that i can read off of it i remember that and everything

53
00:03:52,959 --> 00:04:02,000
in between and it never got overly warm the vegan leather is super soft to the

54
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:04,720
touch and get this it's wipe resistant

55
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:07,040
can we try that yeah oh

56
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:11,840
oh oh this is awful i'm sorry everyone wow

57
00:04:09,519 --> 00:04:15,599
that is a lot of ketchup um i guess what i would probably do if i was trying to

58
00:04:13,519 --> 00:04:20,160
clean something is first i'd get the you know the main

59
00:04:17,199 --> 00:04:24,479
goops off right so now it's uh yeah it's been wiped i can't say i i can't say i

60
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:27,600
completely understand what that means

61
00:04:26,639 --> 00:04:32,800
so i did actually get all the ketchup out

62
00:04:29,759 --> 00:04:35,759
of the track pad so that's good and it

63
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:41,280
resisted being wiped i suppose so if you gotta you know grab a snack right you're

64
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:44,800
sitting at the coffee shop you pour ketchup all over your laptop

65
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:49,040
unfortunately you can wipe it okay seriously though

66
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:53,120
back a little bit more on topic ARM on Windows

67
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:58,080
is not perfect yet but given that most of our work here at Linus media group

68
00:04:54,880 --> 00:05:00,320
runs in either g suite or office 365.

69
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:03,039
sorry editors that's work too but i'm talking more about like the writing team

70
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:08,400
stuff the compatibility issues that might affect someone like a video editor or a

71
00:05:07,280 --> 00:05:12,560
gamer they don't really show up the kind of

72
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:19,039
thing you would notice would be the keyboard and it actually feels

73
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:21,199
great to type on it's really quiet i

74
00:05:19,039 --> 00:05:26,160
really like i mean hp has been making great notebook laptops for a long time

75
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:36,560
okay well apparently that's it i typed 90 words per minute yeah there's

76
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:40,080
a bunch of points that uh the writer ploof put in here about how it's well

77
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:44,320
laid out even though this is a super compact device and the point is

78
00:05:43,039 --> 00:05:49,440
while you're on a conference call it's super quiet really comfortable to type on and

79
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:52,639
manages to be like a soft bottom out but without completely lacking a tactile

80
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:58,400
feel that's absolutely critical for a business machine like this and definitely holds

81
00:05:56,240 --> 00:06:03,280
its own against similarly priced laptops the chassis is magnesium and super thin

82
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:07,120
uh the trackpad feels good smells like ketchup

83
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:13,120
your mileage may vary on that one and two and one hinge designs have clearly

84
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:20,479
come a long way from when the first convertible showed up like i absolutely

85
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:22,000
love the super strong magnetism of this

86
00:06:20,479 --> 00:06:26,720
hinge it's never something that you're gonna feel like gonna accidentally turn

87
00:06:24,479 --> 00:06:30,160
floppy doodly over time remember when they called them convertibles like back

88
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:35,840
when they first started marketing these things two-in-one is definitely um a better

89
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:40,000
name for it just like that like any like any two in one as soon as you

90
00:06:37,759 --> 00:06:45,199
uh flip it into tablet mode it goes ahead and you know enables auto rotate

91
00:06:42,639 --> 00:06:48,639
and fancy stuff like that for i o you've got a three and a half millimeter

92
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:52,319
headphone jack and two usb type-c ports one on either side that does mean you'll

93
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:56,960
need a hub if you're using a wired mouse for example but thankfully there's no

94
00:06:54,240 --> 00:07:01,599
special ARM compatible hubs or anything like that you just use a normal one and

95
00:06:59,759 --> 00:07:08,000
the type-c ports are for charging as well that is when the battery eventually

96
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:09,759
dies it's rated for a whopping 25 hours

97
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:16,080
of video playback on a single charge which is three normal workdays or two

98
00:07:13,199 --> 00:07:19,520
super long ones which is absolutely perfect for when business travel becomes

99
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:24,240
a thing again on that note it's also got a sim card

100
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:28,319
slot hidden away next to the stylus that we totally didn't talk about yet but

101
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:34,880
that'll allow you to stay connected just about anywhere by a 4g lte 5g or wi-fi

102
00:07:32,479 --> 00:07:38,560
6. all of these features battery life cellular connectivity and of course the

103
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:42,880
fanless design traced back to the qualcomm snapdragon compute chipset and

104
00:07:41,599 --> 00:07:47,199
oh right this is where i was supposed to talk about the stylus but i ended up talking about it earlier because it's so

105
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:50,960
cool i mean you know business right signed documents or whatever in terms of

106
00:07:49,039 --> 00:07:55,599
the speakers they're made by hp but tuned by bang and olufsen

107
00:07:54,000 --> 00:08:01,440
i mean obviously we're not expecting a ton of bass on a device this size

108
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:06,240
but i'd say given the size bengals and did a

109
00:08:03,199 --> 00:08:10,400
bang-up job of tuning it

110
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:10,400
yeah that's like super respectable

111
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:17,360
it's not room filling by any stretch of the imagination but i don't expect it to

112
00:08:14,879 --> 00:08:20,080
be and what it does have is excellent clarity

113
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:24,160
i wouldn't say the webcam is the best i've ever seen but i'll let you guys be

114
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:27,440
the judge in terms of how you feel it looks and since we're already talking

115
00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:33,519
about things that are not all sunshine and rainbows i already mentioned the lack of legacy

116
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:37,519
usb a ports but like other soc based notebooks there is functionally zero

117
00:08:35,919 --> 00:08:41,200
upgradeability and it is a little on the heavy side

118
00:08:39,839 --> 00:08:45,360
especially if you're using it as a tablet at roughly three pounds the flip

119
00:08:43,919 --> 00:08:51,200
side of that though get it the flip side of that you get

120
00:08:49,519 --> 00:08:54,320
is at least it feels you know reassuringly

121
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:59,120
hefty speaking of assurance you can get an optional hp sure view reflect screen

122
00:08:56,959 --> 00:09:02,480
to prevent unwanted helpers from glancing over at your screen allowing

123
00:09:00,560 --> 00:09:07,440
you to work on whatever you want wherever you want we've actually tried

124
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:09,279
that out before and it is super cool and

125
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:13,040
another feature that i talked about briefly but i haven't actually shown you

126
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:18,160
guys yet becoming a staple on privacy oriented devices is a physical shutter

127
00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:22,480
for the included webcam so you don't have to worry about uh someone getting

128
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:26,080
access to your device and peeping on you unless you're

129
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:29,600
an exhibitionist like that and you just don't care

130
00:09:27,519 --> 00:09:33,680
so what do you guys think are we finally moving towards ARM on Windows now that

131
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:38,399
truly triple-a devices like this exist without

132
00:09:36,399 --> 00:09:41,519
Intel or AMD cpus do you need a new tablet or laptop and

133
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:44,800
can't decide what to get let us know in the comments and make sure to check out

134
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:50,320
our latest build stream by the way it's called i was bored so i built a computer

135
00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:50,320
it was a lot of fun as always
