WEBVTT

00:00:04.720 --> 00:00:09.360
wow that is a strong magnet

00:00:07.919 --> 00:00:13.280
in case you didn't know my name is Linus yep hp sponsored

00:00:12.080 --> 00:00:18.720
today's video and part of the requirements are that i need to introduce myself so

00:00:17.039 --> 00:00:23.760
hi not for the much less awkward part hp's

00:00:21.119 --> 00:00:28.400
got a new two-in-one laptop tablet hybrid that looks absolutely fantastic

00:00:26.640 --> 00:00:32.239
if you've been looking to replace your at-home device with something a little

00:00:30.640 --> 00:00:34.960
more versatile

00:00:35.440 --> 00:00:40.480
short battery life got you down well this

00:00:39.280 --> 00:00:46.079
could be the solution we've got a power cable

00:00:43.120 --> 00:00:52.879
power adapter with a nice sort of fabric style braided cable and perhaps most

00:00:49.520 --> 00:00:57.199
importantly a really interesting trick

00:00:52.879 --> 00:00:59.359
up the sleeve of the hp elite folio

00:00:57.199 --> 00:01:02.399
let's take a look at what makes it stand out from the crowd

00:01:09.439 --> 00:01:14.720
we've been seeing more and more ARM-based Windows devices recently and

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

00:01:17.040 --> 00:01:22.479
exception now your configuration may vary depending on where you get yours

00:01:20.560 --> 00:01:28.720
from and what options you choose but we've got a qualcomm snapdragon 8cx gen

00:01:25.439 --> 00:01:32.000
2 processor running between 1.8 and 3.15

00:01:28.720 --> 00:01:35.200
gigahertz 16 gigs of RAM and a 256 gig

00:01:32.000 --> 00:01:37.119
and uni SSD for rapid boot times it's a

00:01:35.200 --> 00:01:42.159
bit deer costing a little under two grand but like i said before this video

00:01:39.439 --> 00:01:47.439
is sponsored by hp so obviously we're going to get to the part where we

00:01:43.680 --> 00:01:49.280
justify the cost later first gaming

00:01:47.439 --> 00:01:54.799
performance now obviously this was designed more for

00:01:51.680 --> 00:01:56.960
video conferencing making annotations to

00:01:54.799 --> 00:02:01.200
documents and designs i mean particularly the fact that it has

00:01:58.880 --> 00:02:05.280
built-in stylus with an actual place to freaking store it i mean how crazy does

00:02:03.360 --> 00:02:09.759
it make you when you see a product with a stylus and it's like

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

00:02:12.400 --> 00:02:18.400
that you now also have to carry around with you instead of just having a

00:02:16.319 --> 00:02:23.200
convenient place to tuck it that's built right into the product magnetically

00:02:20.480 --> 00:02:28.000
that's freaking awesome it's great for browsing the web or getting work done at

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

00:02:30.720 --> 00:02:36.560
gonna try to game on it rocket league yeah that didn't launch at all and

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

00:02:39.680 --> 00:02:47.519
some lighter titles like stardew valley and graveyard keeper running and i'm

00:02:44.239 --> 00:02:50.080
going to try graveyard keeper right now

00:02:47.519 --> 00:02:55.760
this is awesome this is like actually working yeah co-figure right on a mobile

00:02:53.680 --> 00:02:59.599
GPU effectively i mean obviously this is not like the world's

00:02:57.840 --> 00:03:05.200
most graphically intensive game or anything like that but the story here is

00:03:01.840 --> 00:03:06.720
that like it works right so when you

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

00:03:08.959 --> 00:03:14.640
whatever you can go pick some peat moss by the way make

00:03:13.040 --> 00:03:18.560
sure you're subscribed so you don't miss out on our upcoming video about graphics

00:03:16.800 --> 00:03:22.400
options in games because you don't have to worry about them here but those max

00:03:20.319 --> 00:03:28.159
settings are why do they even exist again we're going to get into that now

00:03:25.360 --> 00:03:32.640
pivoting though to ideal workloads for the elite folio it's a much more

00:03:30.879 --> 00:03:37.280
compelling story one of our writers actually ended up taking one of our two

00:03:34.560 --> 00:03:41.519
units home to use for a couple of weeks doing everything from browsing reddit

00:03:39.200 --> 00:03:45.360
before bed and tablet mode to using the pull forward design for displaying

00:03:43.040 --> 00:03:49.760
recipes in the kitchen to holding scripts in the traditional laptop layout

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

00:03:52.959 --> 00:04:02.000
in between and it never got overly warm the vegan leather is super soft to the

00:03:58.560 --> 00:04:04.720
touch and get this it's wipe resistant

00:04:02.000 --> 00:04:07.040
can we try that yeah oh

00:04:05.760 --> 00:04:11.840
oh oh this is awful i'm sorry everyone wow

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

00:04:13.519 --> 00:04:20.160
clean something is first i'd get the you know the main

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

00:04:22.960 --> 00:04:27.600
completely understand what that means

00:04:26.639 --> 00:04:32.800
so i did actually get all the ketchup out

00:04:29.759 --> 00:04:35.759
of the track pad so that's good and it

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

00:04:38.720 --> 00:04:44.800
sitting at the coffee shop you pour ketchup all over your laptop

00:04:43.360 --> 00:04:49.040
unfortunately you can wipe it okay seriously though

00:04:46.960 --> 00:04:53.120
back a little bit more on topic ARM on Windows

00:04:50.160 --> 00:04:58.080
is not perfect yet but given that most of our work here at Linus media group

00:04:54.880 --> 00:05:00.320
runs in either g suite or office 365.

00:04:58.080 --> 00:05:03.039
sorry editors that's work too but i'm talking more about like the writing team

00:05:02.080 --> 00:05:08.400
stuff the compatibility issues that might affect someone like a video editor or a

00:05:07.280 --> 00:05:12.560
gamer they don't really show up the kind of

00:05:10.720 --> 00:05:19.039
thing you would notice would be the keyboard and it actually feels

00:05:15.360 --> 00:05:21.199
great to type on it's really quiet i

00:05:19.039 --> 00:05:26.160
really like i mean hp has been making great notebook laptops for a long time

00:05:30.800 --> 00:05:36.560
okay well apparently that's it i typed 90 words per minute yeah there's

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

00:05:38.320 --> 00:05:44.320
laid out even though this is a super compact device and the point is

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

00:05:46.960 --> 00:05:52.639
manages to be like a soft bottom out but without completely lacking a tactile

00:05:51.440 --> 00:05:58.400
feel that's absolutely critical for a business machine like this and definitely holds

00:05:56.240 --> 00:06:03.280
its own against similarly priced laptops the chassis is magnesium and super thin

00:06:00.880 --> 00:06:07.120
uh the trackpad feels good smells like ketchup

00:06:05.120 --> 00:06:13.120
your mileage may vary on that one and two and one hinge designs have clearly

00:06:11.120 --> 00:06:20.479
come a long way from when the first convertible showed up like i absolutely

00:06:17.120 --> 00:06:22.000
love the super strong magnetism of this

00:06:20.479 --> 00:06:26.720
hinge it's never something that you're gonna feel like gonna accidentally turn

00:06:24.479 --> 00:06:30.160
floppy doodly over time remember when they called them convertibles like back

00:06:28.240 --> 00:06:35.840
when they first started marketing these things two-in-one is definitely um a better

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

00:06:37.759 --> 00:06:45.199
uh flip it into tablet mode it goes ahead and you know enables auto rotate

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

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

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

00:06:54.240 --> 00:07:01.599
special ARM compatible hubs or anything like that you just use a normal one and

00:06:59.759 --> 00:07:08.000
the type-c ports are for charging as well that is when the battery eventually

00:07:04.240 --> 00:07:09.759
dies it's rated for a whopping 25 hours

00:07:08.000 --> 00:07:16.080
of video playback on a single charge which is three normal workdays or two

00:07:13.199 --> 00:07:19.520
super long ones which is absolutely perfect for when business travel becomes

00:07:18.160 --> 00:07:24.240
a thing again on that note it's also got a sim card

00:07:21.680 --> 00:07:28.319
slot hidden away next to the stylus that we totally didn't talk about yet but

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

00:07:32.479 --> 00:07:38.560
6. all of these features battery life cellular connectivity and of course the

00:07:37.120 --> 00:07:42.880
fanless design traced back to the qualcomm snapdragon compute chipset and

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

00:07:45.280 --> 00:07:50.960
cool i mean you know business right signed documents or whatever in terms of

00:07:49.039 --> 00:07:55.599
the speakers they're made by hp but tuned by bang and olufsen

00:07:54.000 --> 00:08:01.440
i mean obviously we're not expecting a ton of bass on a device this size

00:07:59.120 --> 00:08:06.240
but i'd say given the size bengals and did a

00:08:03.199 --> 00:08:10.400
bang-up job of tuning it

00:08:06.240 --> 00:08:10.400
yeah that's like super respectable

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

00:08:14.879 --> 00:08:20.080
be and what it does have is excellent clarity

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

00:08:22.080 --> 00:08:27.440
the judge in terms of how you feel it looks and since we're already talking

00:08:25.840 --> 00:08:33.519
about things that are not all sunshine and rainbows i already mentioned the lack of legacy

00:08:30.720 --> 00:08:37.519
usb a ports but like other soc based notebooks there is functionally zero

00:08:35.919 --> 00:08:41.200
upgradeability and it is a little on the heavy side

00:08:39.839 --> 00:08:45.360
especially if you're using it as a tablet at roughly three pounds the flip

00:08:43.919 --> 00:08:51.200
side of that though get it the flip side of that you get

00:08:49.519 --> 00:08:54.320
is at least it feels you know reassuringly

00:08:52.640 --> 00:08:59.120
hefty speaking of assurance you can get an optional hp sure view reflect screen

00:08:56.959 --> 00:09:02.480
to prevent unwanted helpers from glancing over at your screen allowing

00:09:00.560 --> 00:09:07.440
you to work on whatever you want wherever you want we've actually tried

00:09:04.160 --> 00:09:09.279
that out before and it is super cool and

00:09:07.440 --> 00:09:13.040
another feature that i talked about briefly but i haven't actually shown you

00:09:10.720 --> 00:09:18.160
guys yet becoming a staple on privacy oriented devices is a physical shutter

00:09:15.760 --> 00:09:22.480
for the included webcam so you don't have to worry about uh someone getting

00:09:20.240 --> 00:09:26.080
access to your device and peeping on you unless you're

00:09:24.240 --> 00:09:29.600
an exhibitionist like that and you just don't care

00:09:27.519 --> 00:09:33.680
so what do you guys think are we finally moving towards ARM on Windows now that

00:09:32.320 --> 00:09:38.399
truly triple-a devices like this exist without

00:09:36.399 --> 00:09:41.519
Intel or AMD cpus do you need a new tablet or laptop and

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

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

00:09:46.640 --> 00:09:50.320
it was a lot of fun as always
