1
00:00:00,199 --> 00:00:05,680
so we'll begin as always with a shout out to Squarespace thanks for allowing

2
00:00:03,280 --> 00:00:10,679
us to be here at CES 2016 so in walking past the HP Booth the

3
00:00:08,920 --> 00:00:16,000
thing that immediately grabbed my attention of course was the Star Wars

4
00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:20,920
co-branded laptop now to be perfectly clear this is not a super high

5
00:00:18,279 --> 00:00:26,679
performance machine it's a 699 MSRP machine it comes with a core i5 8 gigs

6
00:00:23,519 --> 00:00:29,759
of RAM a 1 TB hard drive a 1080p but

7
00:00:26,679 --> 00:00:31,840
fortunately IPS display in a form factor

8
00:00:29,759 --> 00:00:36,640
that it's not exactly groundbreaking by any stretch of the imagination but what

9
00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:42,160
it does come with is just a pretty darn cool concept and the Star Wars branding

10
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:47,360
is more than just Skin Deep with Darth Vader on the top cover a stormtrooper on

11
00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:51,600
the wrist rest and even packaging that comes in the shape of a TIE fighter you

12
00:00:49,879 --> 00:00:56,000
actually get a ton of exclusive content with it with everything from visuals to

13
00:00:53,559 --> 00:01:00,480
sounds of the machine optimized for the Star Wars fan as well as I think it's

14
00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:04,479
something ridiculous like 1,00 photos in a gallery that comes with it

15
00:01:02,559 --> 00:01:08,960
as well as all the trailers in Full Resolution it's got a couple of

16
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:11,680
accessories like this uh soft shell case

17
00:01:08,960 --> 00:01:16,680
as well as a sort of I don't know it's it's sort of an average feeling

18
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:19,280
Bluetooth mouse clearly for the Star

19
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:22,560
Wars fan but not necessarily the kind of thing that I would otherwise geek out

20
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:26,360
over although this is really cool the touchpad itself has Luke's Reed out from

21
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:31,079
A New Hope as they go down the Death Star trench so that is a pretty cool

22
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:35,040
touch but then I came over here and they're like well hold on a second

23
00:01:32,439 --> 00:01:39,560
actually this is the star of the show this is the new folio and I'm like okay

24
00:01:37,960 --> 00:01:43,399
so it's a business laptop it's an elitebook those are cool they tend to

25
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:47,520
have really nice glass touchpads they tend to have outstanding build quality

26
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:51,320
security features things like touch uh fingerprint sensors this one actually

27
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:55,920
doesn't have that but supposedly with a wink and a nudge they're investigating

28
00:01:53,880 --> 00:02:00,039
other biometric Technologies so it's actually it's obviously got a actually

29
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:04,680
that looks like a real sense camera is that a real sense camera on

30
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:09,759
here I'm getting a bunch of shrugs but there's two lenses on the top okay it is

31
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:12,680
definitely not so all they'll tell me is they're investigating other biometric

32
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:16,760
Technologies I can't tell you guys more than that but the things that I do know

33
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:21,319
are the speeds and feeds as well as the form factor of this sucker so it's using

34
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:24,640
a Coram processor it's a fanless design and they've basically taken all that

35
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:28,800
extra space not to mention the extra power that comes along with the corm and

36
00:02:26,640 --> 00:02:32,519
used it all up to give you better battery a rock sound system and hold on

37
00:02:31,239 --> 00:02:37,959
a second I will get back to that in a moment as well as by far the best

38
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:42,400
keyboard I have ever encountered on an HP laptop this size and this weight

39
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:45,599
which is not really saying anything because they've never done anything this

40
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:50,519
thin or this light before but it actually does feel surprisingly good now

41
00:02:48,519 --> 00:02:54,319
back to the audio quality why would that matter they actually talk about this

42
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:59,040
thing I heard two reps screw up and call it a phone because they really do intend

43
00:02:56,680 --> 00:03:04,120
for it to be used as a business phone whether it's individually with the 720p

44
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:07,599
webcam and not to mention the dedicated Hardware Skype buttons for hanging up

45
00:03:05,799 --> 00:03:11,360
and muting all that cool stuff but actually just as a collaborative device

46
00:03:09,159 --> 00:03:16,440
so you can sit down use the 180° hinge sit across the table from it and boom

47
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:19,120
now it really is legitimately more phone

48
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:22,280
than computer I think that pretty much wraps it up oh yeah no it doesn't it

49
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:27,319
comes with a 10-hour battery life with the full HD display it features an NVMe

50
00:03:24,599 --> 00:03:32,519
SSD up to 512 gigs they're quoting 10 hours of battery life for the 1080p but

51
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:39,319
uh they won't say anything about the 4K for now we can probably assume it'll be about 2 hours to 2 and 1 half hours less

52
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:42,560
than that depending on screen usage and

53
00:03:39,319 --> 00:03:44,680
I think I'm pretty much done yes oh yeah

54
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:47,319
the audio system is banging Olson if that matters to you people who think

55
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:52,120
bang and Olson might be a fairly reputable audio brand so thank you guys

56
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:56,400
