00:00:00.199 --> 00:00:05.680
so we'll begin as always with a shout out to Squarespace thanks for allowing

00:00:03.280 --> 00:00:10.679
us to be here at CES 2016 so in walking past the HP Booth the

00:00:08.920 --> 00:00:16.000
thing that immediately grabbed my attention of course was the Star Wars

00:00:13.480 --> 00:00:20.920
co-branded laptop now to be perfectly clear this is not a super high

00:00:18.279 --> 00:00:26.679
performance machine it's a 699 MSRP machine it comes with a core i5 8 gigs

00:00:23.519 --> 00:00:29.759
of RAM a 1 TB hard drive a 1080p but

00:00:26.679 --> 00:00:31.840
fortunately IPS display in a form factor

00:00:29.759 --> 00:00:36.640
that it's not exactly groundbreaking by any stretch of the imagination but what

00:00:34.120 --> 00:00:42.160
it does come with is just a pretty darn cool concept and the Star Wars branding

00:00:39.200 --> 00:00:47.360
is more than just Skin Deep with Darth Vader on the top cover a stormtrooper on

00:00:44.760 --> 00:00:51.600
the wrist rest and even packaging that comes in the shape of a TIE fighter you

00:00:49.879 --> 00:00:56.000
actually get a ton of exclusive content with it with everything from visuals to

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

00:00:57.800 --> 00:01:04.479
something ridiculous like 1,00 photos in a gallery that comes with it

00:01:02.559 --> 00:01:08.960
as well as all the trailers in Full Resolution it's got a couple of

00:01:05.720 --> 00:01:11.680
accessories like this uh soft shell case

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

00:01:13.040 --> 00:01:19.280
Bluetooth mouse clearly for the Star

00:01:16.680 --> 00:01:22.560
Wars fan but not necessarily the kind of thing that I would otherwise geek out

00:01:20.840 --> 00:01:26.360
over although this is really cool the touchpad itself has Luke's Reed out from

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

00:01:29.200 --> 00:01:35.040
touch but then I came over here and they're like well hold on a second

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

00:01:37.960 --> 00:01:43.399
so it's a business laptop it's an elitebook those are cool they tend to

00:01:41.600 --> 00:01:47.520
have really nice glass touchpads they tend to have outstanding build quality

00:01:45.520 --> 00:01:51.320
security features things like touch uh fingerprint sensors this one actually

00:01:49.000 --> 00:01:55.920
doesn't have that but supposedly with a wink and a nudge they're investigating

00:01:53.880 --> 00:02:00.039
other biometric Technologies so it's actually it's obviously got a actually

00:01:58.200 --> 00:02:04.680
that looks like a real sense camera is that a real sense camera on

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

00:02:07.520 --> 00:02:12.680
definitely not so all they'll tell me is they're investigating other biometric

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

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

00:02:18.560 --> 00:02:24.640
a Coram processor it's a fanless design and they've basically taken all that

00:02:22.680 --> 00:02:28.800
extra space not to mention the extra power that comes along with the corm and

00:02:26.640 --> 00:02:32.519
used it all up to give you better battery a rock sound system and hold on

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

00:02:36.200 --> 00:02:42.400
keyboard I have ever encountered on an HP laptop this size and this weight

00:02:40.760 --> 00:02:45.599
which is not really saying anything because they've never done anything this

00:02:43.840 --> 00:02:50.519
thin or this light before but it actually does feel surprisingly good now

00:02:48.519 --> 00:02:54.319
back to the audio quality why would that matter they actually talk about this

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

00:02:56.680 --> 00:03:04.120
for it to be used as a business phone whether it's individually with the 720p

00:03:01.720 --> 00:03:07.599
webcam and not to mention the dedicated Hardware Skype buttons for hanging up

00:03:05.799 --> 00:03:11.360
and muting all that cool stuff but actually just as a collaborative device

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

00:03:13.440 --> 00:03:19.120
now it really is legitimately more phone

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

00:03:20.840 --> 00:03:27.319
comes with a 10-hour battery life with the full HD display it features an NVMe

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

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

00:03:36.000 --> 00:03:42.560
than that depending on screen usage and

00:03:39.319 --> 00:03:44.680
I think I'm pretty much done yes oh yeah

00:03:42.560 --> 00:03:47.319
the audio system is banging Olson if that matters to you people who think

00:03:45.920 --> 00:03:52.120
bang and Olson might be a fairly reputable audio brand so thank you guys

00:03:49.840 --> 00:03:56.400
