get","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":211.04,"end_s":218.0,"text":"in the xps 15. like if we look","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":214.799,"end_s":221.44,"text":"in the top down

they're more","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":259.6,"end_s":264.639,"text":"like you have just a couple small

not","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":267.68,"end_s":273.28,"text":"cheap but at the same time what you're getting","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":270.88,"end_s":276.72,"text":"it seems like it's not bad oh i didn't even notice before that","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":274.72,"end_s":281.04,"text":"there's a barrel connector right here for power instead

it's","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":291.6,"end_s":298.24,"text":"awesome but at the same time you know we also have a 200 watt power brick and","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":296.32,"end_s":301.28,"text":"it's not going to lose battery life while you're doing heavy

OLED screens just look so good","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":314.0,"end_s":318.88,"text":"it just never fails actually this is like","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":317.199,"end_s":321.84,"text":"kind of one of the worst showcase wallpapers i've ever seen","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":320.56,"end_s":325.84,"text":"i don't know if you'll be able to pick up on it here but it's","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":323.6,"end_s":329.039,"text":"it's just kind of grainy and awful and it makes","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":326.8,"end_s":332.4,"text":"the

crisp","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":333.6,"end_s":338.0,"text":"and perfect whereas all of up here it","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":336.8,"end_s":344.639,"text":"just kind of looks like whoever made this just took the iso which look","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":341.12,"end_s":344.639,"text":"let's try and get something better there","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":346.639,"end_s":351.52,"text":"okay now i'm confused i'm not totally sure if something's wrong but just","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":350.56,"end_s":356.16,"text":"looking at the screen it kind of looks almost dirty in some","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":354.96,"end_s":362.24,"text":"spots i think it's a problem with the screen because this is something that i saw","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":359.199,"end_s":362.88,"text":"on some of the earlier oleds from like","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":362.24,"end_s":367.759,"text":"razer and dell they had just kind of odd","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":365.44,"end_s":371.84,"text":"artifacts i think it has to do with the way that the pixels are lined up um","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":370.639,"end_s":375.52,"text":"i'm going to grab a microscope and come back i want","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":374.0,"end_s":379.52,"text":"to actually figure this out okay so it does seem like this is the same samsung panel that we would have","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":378.639,"end_s":383.12,"text":"found on the other like dell and razer laptops","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":382.4,"end_s":386.8,"text":"that i found a similar problem like this too","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":385.84,"end_s":392.479,"text":"so let's just have a little gander here under the microscope","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":390.24,"end_s":396.319,"text":"okay so we can now see the pixels that are on this display and","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":394.24,"end_s":401.039,"text":"i'm curious if they're doing some sort of a cheating or","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":398.16,"end_s":405.039,"text":"if it's just that the actual like OLED pixels are just too small for how close","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":403.36,"end_s":408.479,"text":"i am to the display you can very clearly see that there's a","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":406.56,"end_s":412.24,"text":"bunch of little like black areas and also that the blue pixels are","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":411.28,"end_s":418.479,"text":"much larger and then they have more red and green ones because i think your eye","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":416.24,"end_s":424.639,"text":"is more like attuned to those frequencies does that make sense brandon","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":421.199,"end_s":426.4,"text":"so now let's take a look at the xps 15.","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":424.639,"end_s":429.44,"text":"there we go so you can very clearly see this is at the same magnification as the","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":428.16,"end_s":432.8,"text":"last one that on the dell there's a lot less","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":431.44,"end_s":436.72,"text":"general space and gaps so i feel like that the sort of","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":434.479,"end_s":441.039,"text":"like dirtiness that i'm seeing on this screen is just simply a result of how the panel","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":440.24,"end_s":445.919,"text":"is laid out voice over alex here so it turns out the problem i was experiencing was the","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":444.56,"end_s":450.639,"text":"screen door effect this is when you're too close to a display and you're able to see

can","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":456.479,"end_s":462.4,"text":"see the individual pixels on the envy's OLED panel are a lot smaller and have a","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":460.56,"end_s":466.24,"text":"lot more black space around them than the dell xps

looked","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":468.24,"end_s":474.639,"text":"dirty while displaying solid colors getting back on track here let's look at","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":473.039,"end_s":478.96,"text":"something that you might actually do on this instead of just like pixel","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":476.319,"end_s":482.639,"text":"peeping a grey screen ah it does it just doesn't look as good","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":481.52,"end_s":490.08,"text":"as i want though i'm guessing it's not an issue at all once you start watching something","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":487.52,"end_s":494.8,"text":"oh yeah this looks awesome so in a darker scene like this where you have","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":492.56,"end_s":498.639,"text":"just like a lot of darkness and then just like little bits of light","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":496.479,"end_s":500.879,"text":"the image is just popping out you're not actually going to be able to see it","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":499.759,"end_s":505.12,"text":"because it's like looking at a screen through a camera on","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":503.599,"end_s":509.759,"text":"your screen that's probably not an OLED but either way it looks awesome just trust me on

they kind of cheated on those blue pixels","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":521.12,"end_s":527.44,"text":"given how good hp's speakers have been in their

dell xps 15 and in many ways it's my favorite laptop i've actually been using it since the review but hp thinks that they can beat it or i think hp might be able to beat it with this right here it's the nv15 and it has an rtx 2060 an i7 107 50h and it's 500 cheaper than this guy so let's get into it i think it should be good or maybe not i don't know it's always scary comparing it to like an xps 15 because this is awesome oh you can see it right there right from the get-go how much power can we expect all right right off the bat we have a 200 watt charger so that's really great because this has very similar specs to the xps 17 which only comes with a 130 watt charger that actually isn't able to keep up with the rtx 2060 and the i7 that's in there i think this right here won't have that problem though aside from that there's not a whole lot in here do we have oh your computer has a pre-installed battery plug in the adapter before you powered uh we're probably not gonna do that here we are the 15. how heavy is this it feels surprisingly light given that it's not exactly small turns out it's 2.1 kilograms or 4.6 pounds which is actually the exact same weight pretty much as the xps 15 for whatever reason it feels slightly lighter in my hands just less dense i guess it has a very nice i think it's all aluminum we'll see when we open it up but there might be some plastic around but i think it's mostly aluminum oh wow you get a lot of ports so on this side you have two Thunderbolt 3 a full-sized HDMI and a usb type-a along with a microsd slot i do kind of wish they had a full-size one but then again you get this other stuff here so can't complain too much and on this side you just get a single usb type a and a headphone combo jack yes it's actually very impressive io i'm almost i'm surprised they don't have a little flappy thing on the side given how thin the whole thing is but anyway let's get into it there it is it's a laptop it actually has i think it was 82 and a half screen to body ratio which is pretty good it's obviously not going to be quite like the xps 15 which does have the 16 by 10 that brings it all the way down here but this screen does have you know it has that extra little bit of good good because it is a 4k OLED touch even though you might not be getting you know the full 16 by 10 goodness you are going to have just the deepest blacks that you can find on any screen so just initially looking at it the track pads it's a pretty good size especially compared to some of hp's older stuff but it's not massive like what you get in the xps 15. like if we look in the top down here yeah it's uh it's it's dwarfed that said i think that this is big enough that as long as it tracks well you're not gonna really have any issues with it it's a bit not ideal overall though chassis stiffness is excellent the actual rigidity of the screen is great just the feel of the laptop overall yeah no twist at all it's very solidly built and we do have to remember that this is hp's envy lineup which is not quite their like top-tier ball inspector stuff this is they're more like you have just a couple small compromises in order to get something that's you know well it's 1500 bucks like that's not cheap but at the same time what you're getting it seems like it's not bad oh i didn't even notice before that there's a barrel connector right here for power instead of delivering it over usbc so that is mildly annoying because one of the things that i love on certain laptops the ability to like plug in right there or you know charge it from the other side it's awesome but at the same time you know we also have a 200 watt power brick and it's not going to lose battery life while you're doing heavy stuff oh fans are definitely announcing their presence OLED screens just look so good it just never fails actually this is like kind of one of the worst showcase wallpapers i've ever seen i don't know if you'll be able to pick up on it here but it's it's just kind of grainy and awful and it makes the OLED screen look not nearly as good as it actually is like if you look at these icons here they're just so crisp and perfect whereas all of up here it just kind of looks like whoever made this just took the iso which look let's try and get something better there okay now i'm confused i'm not totally sure if something's wrong but just looking at the screen it kind of looks almost dirty in some spots i think it's a problem with the screen because this is something that i saw on some of the earlier oleds from like razer and dell they had just kind of odd artifacts i think it has to do with the way that the pixels are lined up um i'm going to grab a microscope and come back i want to actually figure this out okay so it does seem like this is the same samsung panel that we would have found on the other like dell and razer laptops that i found a similar problem like this too so let's just have a little gander here under the microscope okay so we can now see the pixels that are on this display and i'm curious if they're doing some sort of a cheating or if it's just that the actual like OLED pixels are just too small for how close i am to the display you can very clearly see that there's a bunch of little like black areas and also that the blue pixels are much larger and then they have more red and green ones because i think your eye is more like attuned to those frequencies does that make sense brandon so now let's take a look at the xps 15. there we go so you can very clearly see this is at the same magnification as the last one that on the dell there's a lot less general space and gaps so i feel like that the sort of like dirtiness that i'm seeing on this screen is just simply a result of how the panel is laid out voice over alex here so it turns out the problem i was experiencing was the screen door effect this is when you're too close to a display and you're able to see the individual subpixels instead of your brain just thinking it's a solid color this is really common in vr headsets looking at the microscope footage we can see the individual pixels on the envy's OLED panel are a lot smaller and have a lot more black space around them than the dell xps ips panel this combined with mediocre gray uniformity is why the OLED panel looked dirty while displaying solid colors getting back on track here let's look at something that you might actually do on this instead of just like pixel peeping a grey screen ah it does it just doesn't look as good as i want though i'm guessing it's not an issue at all once you start watching something oh yeah this looks awesome so in a darker scene like this where you have just like a lot of darkness and then just like little bits of light the image is just popping out you're not actually going to be able to see it because it's like looking at a screen through a camera on your screen that's probably not an OLED but either way it looks awesome just trust me on that yeah on something like this when it's not just a full screen of like mostly solid colors you can't tell that like they kind of cheated on those blue pixels given how good hp's speakers have been in their like little 13-inch laptops i'm hoping that these are excellent but we'll see you soon the clarity at first is awesome damn yeah i can dig that oh the dell's better well that didn't last long this is still excellent though it it just doesn't quite have the deep like that the dell has and the dell also loses the mac so you know it's probably like third place which isn't bad still in the podium now this is ShortCircuit so we're not going to do any detailed benchmarks if i had to guess this is going to be very similar to the xps 15 in like CPU benchmarks so that's your like rendering if you want to do photoshop or most video editing as well it's going to perform very similar on the two whereas the hp envy 15 is going to definitely beat out the xps 15 when it comes to GPU benchmarks because that 2060 is just it's just more powerful that's that's the fact and it's cheaper but anyway i'm really excited to see the cooling system in this because apparently they just went in straight up thief the cooling system from their hp omen line of gaming laptops so let's see what it's like yep that's aluminum very nice it's not you know like a super solid piece but at the same time it's still very impressive especially given the price point of this thing anyway in here the upgradability looks great so we have our one m.2 SSD over here and then on this side there's easy expansion for another one you also get an 83 yeah an 83 watt hour battery so that should be they claim you'll be able to get 18 hours of battery life if i had to guess it's 10 10 9 or something like that and we have upgradeable RAM right here we do so there's one and another one right under there this actually looks like it's the graphite cheating that we did a video on a little while ago that worked terribly for CPU cooling but this is where you might actually want to use it the real star of the show though is right here actually i'm going to take it off screw it we have a big old vapor chamber from all the way up here over and across the cool CPU and the GPU i'm just really surprised actually that hp was able to cram a big old vapor chamber in a more budget notebook like this one oh i'm doing this completely out of order actually you should get subscribed to LTT if for whatever reason or not because we have a whole video on why vapor chambers are just awesome coming up fairly soon well not not super soon i haven't ridden it yet so it's a while out oh yes huh wow that's kind of weird it looks like they added in extra little heatsink stuff here that's not actually connected to anything it might just be so it has a more uniform look when you sort of open it up which like whatever cool i guess but the real star of the show is this guy right here i'm just it's so awesome that they're able to fit vapor chamber cooling in a laptop this slim and also just like not targeted at gamers like it's awesome to be able to see the like gaming notebook influence making its way into professional designs like this so you're able to actually like get that power and really harness it in ways that a lot of the times they were just kind of like yeah whatever it's not a gaming notebook screw you you don't get that much power so anyway yeah i think this is an awesome little laptop it's so cool they're able to fit this much power into something for one like this small and also into you know something that's okay it's it's it's not cheap guys it's not cheap it's 1500 bucks but at the same time this is 2100 bucks and it's not as fast so there you go it kind of depends on what you're looking for i wouldn't say that one's necessarily better than the other but this is a really strong option if you're looking for just like a good old Windows machine to do all of your stuff so anyway hit like get subscribed um yeah have a fantastic day i'm about to unbox another very powerful laptop"}
