@@mossaboublal6096 well, I never said that I do photo/video-editing (or any colour grading work), nor did I mention that anyone who does should be fine with a low colour gamut TN. I've seen better displays, my brother has a 24" IPS monitor & an Omen 15, both with ~100% sRGB matte IPS panels (and better P3 & Adobe RGB) which is better than my laptop's glossy TN, but for the work/play I've done over the past 7+ yrs with my laptop, I've hardly felt that I wanted more colours. The majority of the work (in my case) is done with text (mostly on a white background, or inverted to black to reduce eye-strain), be it reading/browsing, writing, navigating folders, etc! And when it comes to playing games or watching videos/movies, listening to Spotify, sure it wasn't as vibrant as some of my friend's IPS laptops but it wasn't washed out either (probably because the Envy line-up had better quality TNs compared to lower priced laptops like the Pavilion, etc). It also helps that my laptop has a glossy panel which is being requested again now after almost disappearing for years! I do also have a very much 'colourful' phone with a sAMOLED 120Hz display!

So, this is not $850 for the OLED. Looking at HP's website for this laptop, if you want the OLED screen, you need to select the 12700H or higher which is a $230 up charge from the base price of $799. But then to actually get the OLED screen, you have to pay a $60 up charge because the base screen is an IPS panel. So, the grand total in order to get the OLED screen is $1089.99. Not to mention, the OLED screen is only 400 nits.

My experience with realtek wifo cards isnt good. I had lenovo warranty replace the realtek card in my laptop with the intel one they also used for that model. Support told me that almost all wifi related issues were with the realtek equipped models. After the switch to the intel card i have had no issues at all. Dunno if realtek is still as bad but i only had issues with their hardware.

@ylandry0783 Жыл бұрын

Almost all realtek/realmediatek wireless cards this particular generation have been complete garbage. If intel isn't available, i'd rather contact their support to see if i couldn't squeeze a 20$ rebate for them to NOT ship me a wireless card at all, so i could just grab an intel one off ebay/amazon and slap it in myself. Heck, the laptop wiki discord has a thread dedicated to how bad these cards are. Luckily, it's only their wireless cards who suffer. Their Lan cards/sound chips seem to be problem free in almost every case.

That is a really nice machine.. checks all my boxes. I normally wouldn’t notice.. but I wish the HP billboarding was smaller or just not there though. I’m starting to notice how the blacks kinda suck on my MacBook Air and I watch a lot of movies.. wish I had one of these too.. maybe one day. The 2024 ones should be pretty dope. Intel WiFi and USB4 ports are a must. And if you include HDMI please make sure it’s 2.1 Anyways, I want this thing lol. It would be nice to play counterstrike and DoD again.. if anyone still even plays those 😮

Two USB C's on one side is a pretty annoying flaw, if there's two I wish they'd make them either side as many USB C dongles will block IO around the USB C port so it's nice to have an option of what IO you're willing to block.

I like it when a laptop can charge over usb-c but I prefer when it has a barrel connector/dedicated charging port too as that means I still have all the usb-c ports available for other stuff if I remember my chrger but it's not the end of the world if I forget it (a good example of this is the new Macbook Air M2 though I am a windows guy so that particular laptop wouldn't be for me)

I prefer the USB-C charger because I can also use it for all my other devices. With a barrel connector I would have a dedicated laptop charger that is otherwise useless.

The iGPU is definitely good enough for screen recording, but Windows QuickSync just seems to be far worse than the experience you get on Linux... It's so good on Linux, far easier and stable than NVENC/NVDEC. (Yes it can do the resolution, my 7 year old cheap laptop can do 4k 60 h264/hevc/vp9 and it has a 7200U)

I recently bought an HP probook x360 with an AMD ryzen 5850u cpu and while the graphics might be close the cpu still will shread that i7. Sure it's impressive, especially given the price. But I bought this series when I figured out the Dev one was behind in shipping this spring, I basically got a dev on in a x360 body and yes I bought it just to run linux because I can. Plus our company buys HP bussiness laptops in mass so I got an amazing deal for what it is. Hint: they don't give them away. But my point here is HP has been doing an amazing job lately with their laptops. Totally impressed. Like new level. For years I bought Dell basically because over all just a better product. Our recent purchase last year of the HP chromebook 14c for our non-profit organization convinced me of this.
