Andrew, you just reminded me what I hated the most last year 😅 The keyboard flex on Dell Inspiron laptops. The laptop had all I needed - oled touchscreen and all the ports including SD card slot. I almost got the laptop. The keyboard flex was so bad that you are not able to type even. The keycaps were rough to touch. I guess I have to give up my wish for an SD card slot (as a DSLR user) and get the 16" Spectre. 😃

Hi Andrew. First time subscriber to your channel. Bob here from Las Vegas. I bought this HP from Bestbuy in Las Vegas, for 1129.99 ( Member Price) The Unit ( HP Spectre 14-EU0013DX The laptop DOESN'T come with Dongles or Pen. REAL Bummer too, as I had a 2023 Lenovo 9i ( oatmeal color unit) 1360P I7 that came with the pen. sleeve, and better boxing too. I've had the HP for 3 days now and found that the A I is not for us. Keyboard lighting keeps shutting off, PC is slower that the Yoga ( 1360P is a workhorse ) The haptic, Meh, my wife will go out of her mind with it, and the sensitivity of the touch pad. For the 1629.99 price tag, the Laptop should have everything with it. Even the 1229.99 price tag is high, but yes, it's a new product, and we know how that pricing goes. Just wanted to share my insight on it. I boxed the HP up, and not going to use it for now.

3 things needed to make this the perfect laptop: 1. DEL key should ALWAYS be on the last very top right corner key. Power/fingerprint reader can be next to it. 2. All laptops need TWO USB-A 3.2 Gen 2 ports. 3. MicroSD or Full SD is needed on all laptops.

@julio4494 3 ай бұрын

Disagree, as an IT professional who frequently deploys laptops. Deleting something that can be recovered via Ctrl+Z is less time consuming than accidentally putting your laptop to sleep/shutdown. The power button should be the last key. Due to the massive popularity of docking stations, just one USB-A is the sweet spot. Many peripherals nowadays can be connected wirelessly. Last but not least, only a very small number of people require either micro/full SD card slots. Only certain types of content creators need it, and even among them, many use smart phone cameras for their content nowadays. I understand there are some who do need what your list entails. Just one dongle solves those issues. In my opinion, it’s not worth increasing weight, dimensions, and price of the laptop if there is a simple solution for niche cases

@JtotheRizzo 3 ай бұрын

@@julio4494 Your points make no sense. Why would anyone want to carry around a dongle to have access to an additional USB-A port??? Most laptops have two USB-A ports. Try your Ctrl-Z method after accidently deleting a file from a USB flash drive. And YOU may not use MicroUSB drives but content creators do, or media heavy users like photographers and videographers. Everything I listed are advantageous to every user. You just listed workarounds. But thanks for commenting

@julio4494 3 ай бұрын

@@JtotheRizzo just because you disagree with what I said, doesn’t mean it doesn’t make sense. Most laptops do not have two USB-A ports nowadays. You have agreed that having a micro/full SD are only for two types of use cases. Files go to the recycling bin after deleting them. Carrying a dongle would only be necessary for the few who require a couple more ports, while most people who don’t need them would have saved some money and have a slimmer laptop.

@JtotheRizzo 3 ай бұрын

@@julio4494 Bro, you jumped on my comment saying you disagree with me with comments that don't make sense. You might be the only IT professional that would prefer less ports on their laptops and would rather carry a dongle. You might be the only IT professional that prefers not to have a Micro/Full SD card reader than have one onboard. You might be the only IT professional that thinks adding an additional USB-A port would somehow add significant thickness to a laptop. You might be the only IT professional that thinks deleting a file from a USB flash drive goes into the Recycling Bin. This clearly shows me you are new to IT or haven't experienced enough to understand why I made my original points. Good luck with your career.
