Find one at HP: lon.tv/x9q7c or at Best Buy: lon.tv/hywa4 (compensated affiliate links) - I was very impressed with the performance I saw out of HP's new Spectre X360 which has the new Intel Core Ultra processor on board. It has a huge step-up in graphical performance. See more laptops: • Laptops and subscribe! lon.tv/s

@@tcalbrecht i don't know what is the issue. Update your Bios and do Windows updates. Use it in balanced mode. It has some optimization issue as of now. Update everything. Use it in iGPU mode only. Turn off Nvidia GPU completely. Can you do cinebench 2024 multicore and share here so that i can check it that has issue or not.

Great review 👍 This seems to be the best 2-in-1 laptop overall at that price so far

@IsaacFromHK 3 ай бұрын

so far one of the best review, as you cover the PEN show us if Palm rejection works, a bit of video editing, and my favorite game RDR2, these are the things we want to know, but not just some benchmark. One tips, since the screen is at 2880x1800, ideally, you could also game in 1440x900, and enable Integer Scaling, and this will further boost the gaming performance!

Thank you for this very helpful review. You are not the first reviewer to reference the palm rejection weaknesses of the tack pad but as of today in late March we still don’t seem to have a solution from HP as these issues still continue. I am holding off from buying for now u til I know they have fixed this as it is key to my own use profi,e of such a laptop,but I agree with you that this is otherwise a very solid offer.

After the woeful iGPU of the last three years, it is a relief that Intel has finally caught up with AMD and Apple. There is so much praise for ARC Graphics, as this is overdue and not a revolution, simply coming from a very low level. The same applies for efficiency. Intel has trailed Apple and AMD for many years, and I am glad they have closed the gap, but the congratulatory overtones may be a bit much! Obviously Intel took the opportunity to put prices up, or maybe OEMs hoping to benefit from contemporary comparable performance. I am not a gamer, so if I could get the last gen with a big discount I would choose that.

@TrusteftTech 3 ай бұрын

Colossus from the Forbin Project will be very happy to see us getting more and more AI hardware directly into our computers. The laptop looks good, but the price is way too high for my taste for the graphics performance which might be much better than before, but still remains pretty much an iGPU. I can't find the same model here (Greece), but the equivalent 15 and 16 inch models are well over 2000 euros. Depending on the exactly model you can get a laptop, from HP mind you, with a RTX 4060...for half the price. The other thing is, while I have no beef with HP, always had good experience with their laptops, how can I trust Intel for their driver support for games? I can't. Lastly, FFS HP, bring back the gold! Thanks for the video!

I think it's more an issue of booting the OS off the USB - HP is pretty tough about locking down their BIOS, etc. for security. I'm sure this will get resolved in a future bios update.

@@morten1 Just overall very bad experiences from the brand. Laptops have odd design choices (BIOS etc.), displays at work have failed fast and they've virtually all been HP products. Their printers suck big time imo, the worst of the worst products ever with flashy displays etc. but they just don't work. Also their recent corporate statements/decisions have just made me personally "ban" HP products until they really change their stuff. Oh and one thing that really pissed me off years ago was that their laptop BIOS update blacklisted 3rd party peripherals, which rendered one wifi card inoperable in one of my HP laptops. Now the most recent fuss is about their printers and them blocking 3rd party ink suppliers and saying they can infect viruses via their ink cartridges. It's just insanely bad PR. Really, check it out. It's downright hilatious stuff.
