WEBVTT 00:00:00.480 --> 00:00:07.480 ah good month eh right I haven't charged 00:00:04.240 --> 00:00:09.599 my laptop in days couldn't care less I 00:00:07.480 --> 00:00:16.720 didn't charge mine for an entire week have not had a single problem me neither 00:00:14.400 --> 00:00:21.840 but there has been one thing stressing me 00:00:17.640 --> 00:00:21.840 out I just want to get my work 00:00:22.199 --> 00:00:31.960 done I was worried we might not have enough content to talk about but now 00:00:27.080 --> 00:00:31.960 that's solved too sponsor Segways 00:00:32.800 --> 00:00:39.760 Ridge they're doing a massive sweep Stakes now until September 13th with 00:00:37.239 --> 00:00:45.960 prizes like a Hennessy Velociraptor not the dinosaur a goldplated cyber truck or 00:00:42.840 -->

ch all was going to be a little different 00:01:01.840 --> 00:01:09.159 than the previous ones was the number of people who wanted to participate Arc GPU 00:01:07.240 --> 00:01:14.920 challenge anyone want to use Intel Arc for a month come on Snapdragon challenge 00:01:13.479 --> 00:01:20.000 anyone want to use one of these for a month oh my 00:01:17.119 --> 00:01:25.360 God and it's easy to see why people want it in my entire mindset has changed to 00:01:22.880 --> 00:01:29.600 the point where I used to see a sliver of battery and I would drop everything 00:01:27.360 --> 00:01:34.600 that I was doing and dash to the outlet whereas 00:01:30.439 --> 00:01:36.399 now I think hm interesting I guess I'll 00:01:34.600 --> 00:01:40.399 finish up a few things and then maybe I'll plug in at some point right on one 00:01:38.439 --> 00:01:45.759 of my first days okay I got a notification that I was at 10% battery 00:01:43.079 --> 00:01:51.159 and it was in critical mode I then proceeded to finish up a team's voice 00:01:48.200 --> 00:01:55.920 call including screen sharing on that call I made some edits to a script I 00:01:54.079 --> 00:02:04.039 then wrote a couple of emails did some notes checked my battery life and hm 00:01:59.520 --> 00:02:06.439 casual ual 6% no problem however it's 00:02:04.039 --> 00:02:11.200 worth noting that in the last month I've used my laptop the way that I use my 00:02:08.759 --> 00:02:14.959 laptop which is to say I've installed basically nothing on it we don't even 00:02:13.200 --> 00:02:20.360 use word in the writing Department anymore so almost everything I do is in 00:02:17.319 --> 00:02:22.080 a browser or a browser based program 00:02:20.360 --> 00:02:28.000 I've used it for video conferencing Discord OBS screen cap okay that's not 00:02:25.360 --> 00:02:33.000 in a browser but all of those things worked perfectly now 00:02:30.840 --> 00:02:38.480 I have had some slightly weird stuff happen with bong Jour always um but it 00:02:37.000 --> 00:02:43.319 hasn't really bothered me enough to go back to worrying about my battery life 00:02:40.519 --> 00:02:49.159 yeah for me the experience has been even better than I expected in a month I have 00:02:45.640 --> 00:02:51.239 charge my laptop a total of five times 00:02:49.159 --> 00:02:56.319 and if you look at the dates there is an entire week where I did not plug it in 00:02:53.720 --> 00:03:01.599 once obviously during that week I was not using it a ton typically two 3 hours 00:02:59.560 --> 00:03:07.239 a day day something like that but with every other laptop that I've ever used 00:03:03.440 --> 00:03:08.440 Windows Apple you just cannot do that 00:03:07.239 --> 00:03:12.319 that's actually really good point because lots of Windows laptops are 00:03:10.480 --> 00:03:17.400 rated for eight plus hours of battery life yeah that's not the issue the issue 00:03:15.319 --> 00:03:22.120 is when I go to use it the next day on any other laptop 20% battery end of the 00:03:19.760 --> 00:03:27.280 day you have to plug it in on this it's like okay 20% I'll use it for 4 hours 00:03:24.840 --> 00:03:31.840 tomorrow great the heaviest program I use regularly is solid works and for 00:03:29.799 --> 00:03:37.400 occasional use like what I do on the Go performance is 00:03:34.480 --> 00:03:41.840 usable for me it is fine because any large assemblies I need to tackle I just 00:03:39.360 --> 00:03:46.959 do on my desktop and I only run solid works on my laptop to make small 00:03:44.159 --> 00:03:52.720 adjustments to Parts in the shop but it is emulated and the raw performance is 00:03:49.720 --> 00:03:55.959 very similar to my old laptop which has 00:03:52.720 --> 00:03:59.159 a low powerered 2p cor CPU that was slow 00:03:55.959 --> 00:04:00.760 when it was released 2 years ago right 00:03:59.159 --> 00:04:05.519 what I was afraid would be a deal breaker for me was car audio but it's 00:04:03.280 --> 00:04:09.239 actually just totally fine our calibrated measurement microphones just 00:04:07.760 --> 00:04:13.360 worked allowing me to get these measurements right here for MX5 review 00:04:11.760 --> 00:04:18.720 watch it on ShortCircuit and then came the much bigger challenge doing a new 00:04:15.879 --> 00:04:23.840 tune on my car no way this involved Niche DSP drivers a bunch of random 00:04:21.320 --> 00:04:29.120 Windows run times and direct lives licensing server all to cooperate which 00:04:26.479 --> 00:04:33.960 is not even a guarantee on regular x86 Windows machine maches but it just did 00:04:31.639 --> 00:04:39.520 it and now I have a 2C tune of my car it sounds absolutely fantastic so 00:04:37.199 --> 00:04:44.560 unfortunately uh my work can't be really done on the pen and paper what are you 00:04:41.440 --> 00:04:47.960 saying about what I do is also work well 00:04:44.560 --> 00:04:49.600 my work is you know more video editing 00:04:47.960 --> 00:04:54.039 and uh I can't really Video Edit on like you know a pen and 00:04:51.240 --> 00:04:57.919 paper and as a recent graduate uh I decided to take a perspective of a 00:04:56.240 --> 00:05:02.520 university student because I feel like University students are the people who 00:05:00.240 --> 00:05:06.880 really buy these laptops so I just like oh it'd be a cool way to determine if 00:05:05.000 --> 00:05:10.080 this is actually good for you know people school yeah exactly yeah cuz 00:05:09.160 --> 00:05:15.360 you're not going to have another computer exactly yeah the first and simplest thing I try to do was watch 00:05:13.520 --> 00:05:20.400 YouTube videos but instead I got audio render issues saying I need to reset my 00:05:17.479 --> 00:05:26.680 computer fortunately I had this great LTT laptop bag LTT Store.com man this 00:05:24.800 --> 00:05:33.440 thing is freaking awesome it's got all the room opens up so big 00:05:30.360 --> 00:05:35.759 oh yeah baby stores everything sorry 00:05:33.440 --> 00:05:39.520 sorry sorry what were you saying well fortunately the computer was one step 00:05:37.840 --> 00:05:43.160 ahead of me there because for the first couple of days I had a load of crashes 00:05:41.400 --> 00:05:46.960 that restarted the computer for me next I want to edit some flow plan exclusives 00:05:44.919 --> 00:05:49.759 which I thought be fine because qualcom did say that they're going to support 00:05:48.160 --> 00:05:55.319 Adobe crater Suites which turns out it was only Photoshop and graphic design 00:05:51.639 --> 00:05:57.400 stuff no Premiere great no I thought 00:05:55.319 --> 00:06:01.160 Premiere works when I first got it the my first thing was to try installing it 00:05:59.120 --> 00:06:05.960 and it was wasn't there I was like what's up with that it just 00:06:03.400 --> 00:06:10.639 works fortunately after a week of daily driving it it was there but there was a 00:06:07.880 --> 00:06:15.759 catch After Effects still missing so I couldn't do any of the fun Graphics 00:06:12.680 --> 00:06:18.520 Premiere was emulated andoss it just 00:06:15.759 --> 00:06:21.960 sucked honestly using premiere on this thing was not a good experience there is 00:06:20.319 --> 00:06:28.520 one more thing to say it's in the script he's doing his best but only the 2023 00:06:24.880 --> 00:06:30.759 version is supported like 2024 is three 00:06:28.520 --> 00:06:35.319 qus over and they're only supporting 2023 I had to convert most of my 00:06:32.759 --> 00:06:39.199 projects to the 2023 versions just so I can start editing I tried editing three 00:06:37.560 --> 00:06:42.639 videos the first one was fine until I started adding screen caps to it which 00:06:41.120 --> 00:06:47.720 then it pooped itself the second one was a YouTube sh at 1080p which was mostly 00:06:45.120 --> 00:06:52.400 fine but I ended up switching to a real computer for animations at the end and 00:06:49.520 --> 00:06:57.120 the third one was a 4K multicam sequence and oh 00:06:53.840 --> 00:06:59.240 yeah it died I think it loaded it in and 00:06:57.120 --> 00:07:03.240 then it just didn't work there's not a chance 00:07:00.919 --> 00:07:08.440 honestly I think the most telling part of all of that is the way that you 00:07:04.879 --> 00:07:11.919 referred to a normal x86 computer as a 00:07:08.440 --> 00:07:14.360 real computer so in a month you didn't 00:07:11.919 --> 00:07:21.120 manage to completely edit a single video on it even though Premiere is supported 00:07:18.160 --> 00:07:24.560 yeah like the worst part is parsik didn't work that great either so I 00:07:22.960 --> 00:07:30.080 didn't really get to remote into my desktop and edit it so I was like this I 00:07:28.160 --> 00:07:33.800 determined that the speed I was going to go at parcing in versus editing on my 00:07:31.919 --> 00:07:37.919 computer wasn't going to justify it so I ended up just moving back to my computer 00:07:35.840 --> 00:07:43.759 yeah I didn't try to use Parc and that's the thing right is when an application 00:07:40.240 --> 00:07:45.639 doesn't work you're basically stuck if 00:07:43.759 --> 00:07:51.280 this is your only computer there's there's no backup plan the emulation all 00:07:48.440 --> 00:07:56.759 runs automatically so it's not like you can install an emulator and maybe it'll 00:07:54.120 --> 00:08:02.680 work now it just doesn't work I actually had my first near showstopper just 00:07:59.960 --> 00:08:07.039 yesterday talk about a buzzer beater I was using channelizer for the how much 00:08:04.960 --> 00:08:10.639 Wi-Fi is too much video and I started getting random crashes at first I 00:08:08.879 --> 00:08:17.120 thought okay it's probably a license issue since I haven't checked in with metageek for 2 years and then I realized 00:08:15.120 --> 00:08:21.919 oh hold on a second it's always crashing after a little while when I go inside 00:08:19.240 --> 00:08:26.800 the chamber maybe it needs an always on connection but obviously I wouldn't have 00:08:24.000 --> 00:08:33.159 any Wi-Fi in an RF isolation chamber then it turned out that the emulation 00:08:29.240 --> 00:08:35.680 was bad oh wow yeah so nothing to do 00:08:33.159 --> 00:08:39.640 with the license and I had another bizarre issue yesterday too I got a 00:08:38.000 --> 00:08:44.039 notification that I was running out of battery which was fine I hadn't charged 00:08:41.680 --> 00:08:47.680 it in like 6 days or something like that but when the speaker went off I didn't 00:08:46.399 --> 00:08:50.800 think about this until you mentioned your audio rendering issues but it 00:08:49.600 --> 00:08:55.760 started like like buzzing at me really weird 00:08:54.160 --> 00:08:58.600 which makes me wonder if maybe it's something to do with the platform you 00:08:57.160 --> 00:09:01.800 guys haven't actually seen this yet but I'm going to show you this is super 00:09:02.880 --> 00:09:11.360 weird oh what what the it's like a spaceship 00:09:09.360 --> 00:09:16.279 it just didn't stop overall I've been happy with the 00:09:14.120 --> 00:09:20.800 machine though especially the keyboard and like I said to you I never use my 00:09:18.160 --> 00:09:26.160 laptop outside so the screen total non-issue but I noticed right at the end 00:09:23.680 --> 00:09:33.279 that HP cheaped out on the Wi-Fi I only got Wi-Fi 6E instead of Wi-Fi 7 well my 00:09:29.600 --> 00:09:36.079 Surface laptop 7 does have Wi-Fi 7 but I 00:09:33.279 --> 00:09:40.800 would much rather have your 6E chip in there if that meant my experience was 00:09:37.920 --> 00:09:46.440 good in areas where my Wi-Fi strength wasn't great like you just know that 00:09:42.760 --> 00:09:48.279 spot in your house it just wouldn't work 00:09:46.440 --> 00:09:53.360 sometimes I would load in YouTube video and then halfway through it would just 00:09:50.120 --> 00:09:55.000 disconnect from Wi-Fi and it was super 00:09:53.360 --> 00:09:59.399 annoying both of you guys had good Wi-Fi right yeah yeah mine was mine was 00:09:57.079 --> 00:10:03.680 perfect actually it was really good yeah I used that thing for a week making the 00:10:01.120 --> 00:10:08.480 review I also didn't have an issue so that was great I think it's Microsoft 00:10:06.120 --> 00:10:13.240 and their antenna design wait I wonder if HP knows something I don't know and 00:10:10.920 --> 00:10:17.920 use the 60 for a reason wh which one's yours Wi-Fi 7 must just be the antenna 00:10:16.120 --> 00:10:21.600 design then yeah could also just be a bunk unit 00:10:19.279 --> 00:10:26.959 but another area that's been pretty good for me is gaming now in our live stream 00:10:25.120 --> 00:10:31.320 half of the games we tested didn't work but real world use is a little little 00:10:29.480 --> 00:10:36.079 bit different than just having you guys send games to us and US running whatever 00:10:33.399 --> 00:10:42.000 you ask like for me from the time that I spent with the steam deck my mentality 00:10:38.639 --> 00:10:43.519 shifted a little bit from I want to game 00:10:42.000 --> 00:10:47.399 I want to play this game and nothing else is acceptable to I'm in the mood to 00:10:45.680 --> 00:10:53.079 game I'm willing to find something that works with the device that's in front of 00:10:48.920 --> 00:10:54.639 me so obviously it's not the best but I 00:10:53.079 --> 00:10:58.760 actually kind of found that I was okay with it yeah if you treat like a second 00:10:56.680 --> 00:11:02.079 computer I think it's okay but I tried playing a lot the games that are popular 00:11:00.560 --> 00:11:07.839 with the youth like me okay 27 uh like League of Legends 00:11:05.320 --> 00:11:12.760 valerant fortnite and Minecraft the first three didn't work like it just it 00:11:10.000 --> 00:11:17.959 would not boot I could download it but uh and Minecraft was just too laggy 00:11:16.000 --> 00:11:21.839 so getting one of these laptops for school means you probably aren't playing 00:11:19.880 --> 00:11:25.760 games with your friends don't do that parents I'm kind of split on this one 00:11:23.760 --> 00:11:30.120 the three games that I play the most just straight up do not work on this 00:11:27.639 --> 00:11:33.839 laptop but also they straight up do not work on the last laptop that I used 00:11:32.399 --> 00:11:38.560 either so right you used to thin and light with old onboard Graphics anyway 00:11:35.880 --> 00:11:43.040 so I'm pretty flexible like I'm going on a long flight tomorrow I installed 00:11:40.480 --> 00:11:48.320 animal well on this it works great I do not care if I don't get to do 3D games 00:11:45.079 --> 00:11:52.200 on this and at the same time 120 HZ 00:11:48.320 --> 00:11:54.120 display this thing is awesome to game on 00:11:52.200 --> 00:12:00.639 I just I just want to highlight how good this screen is Sami screen as well 00:11:56.760 --> 00:12:02.760 fantastic 3x2 Quad HD 12 HZ bright 00:12:00.639 --> 00:12:08.839 enough to use outdoors and the most incredible thing is that this display 00:12:05.480 --> 00:12:10.760 did not even stand out in our last video 00:12:08.839 --> 00:12:15.480 typically the two biggest power draws on a laptop are the CPU and the display and 00:12:13.440 --> 00:12:20.480 previously I was willing to live with a mediocre display because the OLED scream 00:12:18.160 --> 00:12:26.519 option was just not worth it for battery life but when the CPU is this efficient 00:12:23.920 --> 00:12:31.399 you can just give up 4 hours of battery life and it will be totally fine it 00:12:29.480 --> 00:12:36.120 really is the closest thing that we have to the MacBook experience and while game 00:12:33.880 --> 00:12:44.720 compatibility sucks compared to normal Windows it's still a lot better than 00:12:40.199 --> 00:12:47.120 mac dang sick burn one final thing about 00:12:44.720 --> 00:12:51.360 the surface is that the webcam is fantastic in the very first video call 00:12:49.560 --> 00:12:55.839 that I had on it I got compliments of just how great it looks yeah I also got 00:12:53.800 --> 00:12:59.800 compliments on it mic was good and webcam was good now here's something I'd 00:12:58.160 --> 00:13:03.519 like to compliment you guys you've lasted a long time here at lius Media 00:13:01.600 --> 00:13:08.279 Group being on Microsoft and Samsung's payroll respectively you guys what okay 00:13:06.639 --> 00:13:12.760 no you know what they are right they're right the webcam is actually a standout 00:13:10.639 --> 00:13:16.600 feature however I want to change the topic a little bit this is 2024 we got 00:13:15.320 --> 00:13:22.560 to talk about AI we love AI does it make me a boomer 00:13:20.600 --> 00:13:26.480 that I completely forgot about the co-pilot button except for the one time 00:13:24.440 --> 00:13:31.120 I pressed it by accident wa really I'm actually a big fan of co-pilot and just 00:13:28.199 --> 00:13:34.839 like chat ch BT like llms in general and I like how accessible it was to you know 00:13:33.160 --> 00:13:39.160 just one click button I can just look it up it's way more convenient than open my 00:13:36.519 --> 00:13:43.399 browser

use chat GPD sometimes just to help with polishing my wordings 00:14:10.920 --> 00:14:17.279 and and just general research because ghou sucks we have a whole video about 00:14:14.959 --> 00:14:21.560 that I used co-pilot a couple times when I accidentally tried to lock my laptop 00:14:19.600 --> 00:14:25.040 went like that I just want to mentioned before 00:14:23.720 --> 00:14:29.440 people think I completely hate this laptop I think the like the physical 00:14:27.839 --> 00:14:34.079 appearance of the laptop was great great like you said the keyboard's great you 00:14:32.040 --> 00:14:39.079 know the webcam is great the mic's great it's extremely light i l the Samsung 00:14:36.360 --> 00:14:43.759 laptop with my personal heavy laptop and it was so light and thin I didn't notice 00:14:41.600 --> 00:14:47.399 a weight difference in my backpack nor did I feel like I had any space issues 00:14:45.759 --> 00:14:51.519 the fan also I don't know if you guys have any comments about it but mine was 00:14:49.320 --> 00:14:54.959 so quiet I totally forgot to comment about it because I didn't notice it once 00:14:53.320 --> 00:14:58.399 it's just that like quiet and I feel like you know if you're in like a 00:14:56.680 --> 00:15:02.240 lecture I feel like you always you always hear one two people that have 00:15:00.120 --> 00:15:06.440 like the whole time right like their their alien wear and that's especially 00:15:04.480 --> 00:15:10.839 true if they're trying to actually like record anything like especially with 00:15:08.399 --> 00:15:15.959 video like man I don't know what it is every Windows laptop I've ever owned all 00:15:12.800 --> 00:15:15.959 I got to do is get on a teams 00:15:16.040 --> 00:15:21.720 call it sounds like it's trying to take off from the desk I mean I don't blame 00:15:19.959 --> 00:15:25.800 it those calls are boring anyway what are we feeling overall guys I've had a 00:15:23.880 --> 00:15:31.880 great time with mine only running into a major issue at day 29 out of 30 that's 00:15:29.199 --> 00:15:36.639 pretty darn good I love it I don't think I'm going back to x86 I'm not sure that 00:15:34.319 --> 00:15:41.560 I will for now I don't feel like this can be your primary computer maybe not 00:15:39.199 --> 00:15:45.959 even your own laptop but personally I would highly recommend this as a 00:15:43.199 --> 00:15:49.720 secondary computer or tertiary by that point since you've got a desktop and a 00:15:47.560 --> 00:15:53.839 laptop already and this is just your Mobility focused computer but that's 00:15:52.519 --> 00:15:59.240 fair enough depending on what you're doing now one thing to remember is that 00:15:56.680 --> 00:16:04.839 AMD just released a lineup of CPU that is much more competitive battery 00:16:01.319 --> 00:16:07.800 LifeWise but they aren't competitive 00:16:04.839 --> 00:16:13.480 pricewise these come in at a lower cost than AMD and presumably Intel's upcoming 00:16:11.199 --> 00:16:17.440 latest gen mobile CPUs meaning that you can't really compare them directly like 00:16:15.600 --> 00:16:23.240 maybe by going Qualcomm you give up some program compatibility but you get more 00:16:20.160 --> 00:16:25.079 RAM or you get a better screen which 00:16:23.240 --> 00:16:30.240 could make things even more compelling if you can actually work on it though 00:16:27.000 --> 00:16:32.560 well yeah that that is a major issue and 00:16:30.240 --> 00:16:37.720 I think we're in agreement then Qualcomm Snapdragon X laptops excellent if 00:16:35.600 --> 00:16:43.120 everything you do is in a browser or if you already have another computer for 00:16:39.720 --> 00:16:46.120 the work that you need to do on another 00:16:43.120 --> 00:16:50.880 computer hopefully someday it'll be for 00:16:46.120 --> 00:16:50.880 everyone like this segue to our 00:16:51.639 --> 00:16:58.240 sponsor manscaped you know the sphere in Las Vegas now your head can look like 00:16:56.360 -->
