what we have right here is the best ultrabook
on the market or at least i hope so because it's 2 265
oh my god let's just get into it
it's the hp dragonfly elite max and it is i have to say a beautiful machine
but again i'd i'd hope so
dave why would you think that i know how much kidneys cost
here we go this box looks wonderful and i'm pretty sure it's made of recycled
material but don't quote me on that here it is and
this is a fine looking machine can i
this was way easier to do when it had the plastic wrapping on it
but i've been using this for a couple days so now the plastic's gone and this
is difficult but it looks so good this
thing is made out of 90 recycled magnesium it has this like
shimmer on it yeah it is also very fingerprint brown like look at this
they're super hard to get out too let's see what else is in the box
it tells you what the buttons do fair enough power adapter it's type c and has
a very nice braided cable i do like these ones that hp has and i
think that's it see here
is mildly hard to get out of the package is 65 watts
so yeah this is not a super powerful machine
it's a 13-inch thin and light it has a quad-core Intel processor so you know
hp says that this is for the mobile trail blazer
so someone that you know that needs to look good when they go
out and has lots of connectivity options
and also um i don't know
yeah lots of money lots and lots of money now let's see here the i o on this
thing is awesome two Thunderbolt fours right there
headphone microphone combo full size HDMI
and on the other side we have full size usb type a
there's the power button and right here
there's a little sim slot
so that is awesome should we get into it yeah
it's very light it's kind of hard to it's almost difficult to open because it
is so light
oh mousepad lttstore.com
yeah if it's in stock they are very nice though so in here we have an i7 1185 g7
so that's four cores eight threads it's pretty
speedy if you don't need to do a whole lot um we also have 16 gigs of RAM at whoa
40 to 67 megahertz that's actually quite
fast along with uh 500 Gigabyte SSD
Intel wi-fi six and of course xe graphics which
are quite good for you know integrated graphics but
they are still integrated graphics what also is quite good

bandwidth microphone has up to 15 hours of battery life check
it out today at the link below now one of the first things that you
will notice with this laptop is that it's just it's shockingly light
let's bring it up here
let's see 1.63 kilograms
which is two and a half pounds for
those of you that hate good systems of measurement
it's so stiff the whole thing
this thing feels like an lg gram when you hold it it's that light
but it doesn't feel like an lg gram when
you feel it it feels so solid my only mild complaint is that the
screen does have a bit of a tendency to get a bit wobbly but it's
not a huge deal actually you know let's just get to it
right now the screen on this is absolute trash uh it's it's tragic
honestly so on this the specs are awesome
so it's 1080p which is fine it's a 13 inch display it's
more than enough and it goes up to a
thousand nits so 700 or so of that is usable
but it looks like ass um
they have what's called a 3m privacy
filter film chummy and as far as i can tell
it works similar to how a fresnel lens works so it's a whole bunch of little
ridges and you have you know a whole bunch of light that's coming out in every
direction from your backlight and this film is going to direct them so
all of them just go boop straight out dude
you get excellent privacy so can you see the screen right now david
and then you turn it a bit oh wow you can't at all it works
really good for the privacy i do have to
say it is exceptional how it does this the problem
is that when you turn it off
what they do is they turn on a second backlight which supposedly you know
overcomes this and allows the light to go out in all directions
but in practice it doesn't
and instead it just kind of looks like a tn panel and it's terrible
this is unfortunate because for one i found just constantly when i was like
using it i didn't even notice how often
i kind of have like maybe you want to move it like here
and type but you can't because now it looks bad or maybe i want it
down here it looks bad again and this is compounded with the fact
that it handles reflections really really bad
but instead of just having a reflection in the background it creates this like
rainbow halo thing around everything
and it's just so bad it's terrible and i hate it because i would daily drive this
laptop if it wasn't for that can we turn on
something kind of right back here normally you would just get the reflection that's here
but instead you have these really colorful sort of
haloy craps all around it
maybe i can show it even worse with like a there we go
that's it that's perfect and so like
when you have office lights behind you every single one of those tubes is just
doing this the whole time and it's impossible to look at like i'll
just show you what it looks like on the xps 15 here
yeah it's just it's just a light and normally on this
you only get a reflection because it's not something that's this bright
it's infuriating because aside from that i love this laptop
hp give us an option of this
with just a normal display
this keyboard's fantastic it's one of the best that i've ever used on a laptop
it's nice and clicky has a nice
what do you call it like supple bottom of the travel
uh it's it's just a joy to use um
and below we have a track pad that's it's a tiny bit on the small
side but for a laptop of this size it's
great so one thing that hp has been doing for a while that always annoyed me is they
take the speakers and they put them on the top which moves the whole keyboard down which makes the
trackpad really small this one speakers are on the side trackpad's big awesome
love it as for the tracking itself the feel of this touchpad is a bit more
old-school like it has more of a i don't know if you can see this there
but it's like a proper click it it really goes in i got used to
it in a couple minutes and yeah it's fantastic also the speakers
let's boot up crabrave yeah for a 13 inch these are really loud
and the clarity is spot on hp always nails that in the laptops
wow that is good that is really good
one second see this stupid thing right here okay it's
it's done but this had to wake up from hibernate because it's a stupid computer
that always gets really hot in my bag and
you know kills its own battery this right here has in bag detection so you
chuck it in your bag it uses ai to be like oh hey i'm in a
bag i'm going to hibernate now instead of just destroying your battery
thank you hp dell get that i hate it that this doesn't have it
okay so we've got the dragonfly
xps so i would say that the xps 15 still
has a slight edge but this is a 15-inch
laptop and this is a 13-inch laptop and they are incredibly comparable
this might be the best sounding 13-inch laptop
that i've ever used one thing that hp
really talked about for this is the webcam
so in this right here instead of your normal crap tier 720p webcam
we get uh well it's not amazing
but for a laptop an absolutely amazing
webcam so this thing's five megapixels you get
1440p 30fps recording as you can see right
here it it looks fantastic i'll bring up the
pixel right here and so hp right here pixel 5 right here the
fact that i'm comparing these two really says a lot about how good the hp
is now let's bring out the xps 15. as you can see this is just hot garbage
um everything about it's bad grainier than i don't know an oatmeal
factory whereas this one right here you know
you're a mobile trailblazer you need to look good when you're on the go
so as you can see this thing's pretty big for a webcam at least
which means that you can't really get 16 by 10 on this display
i actually think we're going to do an LTT pretty soon
on why laptop webcams suck and use this
thing right here as an example of that they don't need to suck and now
let's take it apart all right let's get into her this right
here looks like it's all magnesium wow that is a massive battery 56.2 watt
hours so it's actually not the biggest of
capacity batteries ever i guess it's probably just rather thin this thing hp says
should be able to get you 17 or so hours of battery life
as for upgradeability uh you might be able to replace the SSD
okay okay we've got our SSD right here it is replaceable which is
kind of all that you expect on a laptop like this
ever is this our sim oh yeah snapdragon
x55 5g modem nice and of course just a
little fan oh i feel like that they said something that this has a fancy fan in it that
has small blades or something yeah whatever i guess that's about it
this right here is a fantastic laptop
probably one of the best on the market with
a screen that kind of ruins it uh it's a bit sad
especially since hp i think makes some
of the best displays available on laptops right now
like the nv14 amazing display actually basically every
single display except for this one amazing display i love this thing hp
give it a proper display i will daily drive it
anyway i hope you guys like this video uh
maybe we'll do a cheaper laptop next time actually that's a lie we'll
probably we probably won't i'll try and get something in but
we probably already have something that's like a 5 000 gaming laptop on the
way so sorry about that but get subscribed hit
like uh have a great day bye
