    Does the geoforce chip make any difference if I don’t do any gaming? Is 11th gen tiger lake better at keeping the system cool and quiet?

    I have the 3.3 2020 model no AMOLED = better battery life, no more speaker grill on the inside over the keyboard. Great Feb. 2021 Presidents day sale direct from HP.

    I have the 13" with the AMOLED display, and it is beautiful, but very bright – and if you decrease brightness the colors get way oversaturated. The only setup with good color is at full brightness, and that is often too much for easy viewing, and accelerates battery drain. (All the same on the 15", but more battery drain.)

    Did the hinge improve? I saw this one review about an older version with a somewhat sloppy hinge.

    If you want performance get the H series process. If you want battery life get the U processor.
    My 15.6" x360 (i7-10510u, 16 ram, 512 ssd, xM330 graphics) gets 14-15 hrs of continuous YouTube viewing…

    Is the fan loud in this laptop?



  11. Anthony Cruz on April 5, 2021 at 1:58 am

    What would happen if you plug in the original charger that came with the laptop and a USB-C hub that is a 65 watts charger as well at the same time. Right now am only using the USB-B hub for its ethernet connectivity. So am not connecting it to its power source, but it shows that it is slowing down the original charger.

    What about scratches after using pen? Is it comes with screen protector glass or have to install externally. If we have to attach then where can I get tempered glass for this model??



  13. Ed Brains on April 5, 2021 at 1:59 am

    Nice review!!



  14. CS Horizon on April 5, 2021 at 2:01 am

    Why are you reviewing the OLD 2020 model instead of the intell 11th gen CPU version?



  15. SomePlaceForVideos on April 5, 2021 at 2:03 am

    You might want to specify what model you’re reviewing, since there are so many of them.



  16. PSYCHO on April 5, 2021 at 2:04 am

    You messed up by not letting your viewers know if this laptop has upgradeable storage, RAM, and Wi-Fi card.

    Like c’mon…… πŸ˜‘



  17. Midnight Marauder on April 5, 2021 at 2:07 am

    Any good docking station recommendations that are less than $150 ?



  18. Farah afshar on April 5, 2021 at 2:07 am

    Is this or a dell XPS 2 in 1 better for editing YouTube videos ?



  19. Haad Bajwa on April 5, 2021 at 2:07 am

  20. Frog 00 on April 5, 2021 at 2:07 am

    I have this laptop and the screen is not Gorilla glass it can scratch easily if u are heavy handed because I see minor scratches on mines and the pen just stop working on me for some reason and Hp customers service is horrible if something goes wrong with your laptop and u request service they will keep closing your case for some reason you’ll have to keep calling them to take care of the problem but for the most part I love the laptop the Oled is Amazing



  21. Quintalux on April 5, 2021 at 2:12 am

    I think its 10 giga bits instead of bytes for the usb 3.2



  22. David Lobos on April 5, 2021 at 2:16 am

    Love this excellent review, fun to watch and love the background music 🎢🎡



  23. Sammie 11 on April 5, 2021 at 2:19 am

    I cant stop watching your review for this laptop
    I ordered mine and I cant wait😁
    Nice videoπŸ’―



  24. Sharon Paige on April 5, 2021 at 2:19 am

    I bought mine last month and love it!! My pen was included.

    This could be the one that I feel disappointed when the bottom rubber loses its durability to fix on desks and start trembling.



  26. ROBERT P. on April 5, 2021 at 2:20 am

    It is good, but not perfect. For that price it is made with very cheap fan it is loud it is noisy. Keyboard lights goes of every 10 seconds and you can not make timeout longer or make stay on. It is terrible future for keyboard. I talked to HP, but not solution. They block that future. It is my laptop and I want to keyboard light to stay on . What a terrible engineering. HP said only bla bla.



  27. Peter Vlasaty on April 5, 2021 at 2:24 am

    Be aware for different versions (CPU Options): HP Spectre x360 15-eb0008ng (16S17EA) HP Spectre x360 15-eb0010ng (16S18EA) HP Spectre x360 15-eb0024ng (16S19EA) HP Spectre x360 15-eb0036ng (16S20EA) – There are big differences between eb????ng in the horse power, but may be just a small difference in the price at the store!



  28. Rupert Greenlees on April 5, 2021 at 2:24 am

    You could get way more for the money but with Spectres you are spending a lot over the odds for the benefit of good design. Which is fine BUT… The design has to remain worth the premium. That means user first. The swapping a dedicated print screen for a useless HP key and even worse no alternative to timing out the backlight every 30 seconds to improve stats (leaving us users scrabbling around on the touchpad in the dark 100s of times per work session) are more problematic than HP probably realise. They are both HORRIBLE self serving design features which prioritise HP over the consumer. That sends a strong signal about tthe direction of HP design culture. This laptop proves HP can design well and then they choose not to for marketing reasons (better battery life access to HP services) and they take your money for premium consumer led design anyway. That is a serious wrong turn HP.

    This is by far the best review I’ve seen! Well executed, the low toned voice and non-hurried approach give you a calming and relaxed viewing experience.

    Yet fully informational and detailed graphics complete the excellent presentation.

    I was getting ahead of myself thinking what about this?…. of course that was the next point covered!

    I didn’t have any doubts or unanswered questions!

    I’ve watched many, many, many reviews of various laptops, as I’m currently in the market for a new laptop.

    This presentation is vastly ahead of it’s competition.

    Bravo πŸ‘ πŸ‘ πŸ‘ πŸ‘ πŸ‘ πŸ‘

    My older 2 in 1 laptop keeps getting stuck in tablet mode after it updates 😩



  31. Shannon G on April 5, 2021 at 2:28 am

    I am getting mine early, it was expected on the 11th but it will be delivered tomorrow. I am so excited! 😭



  32. Firas Obaidy on April 5, 2021 at 2:35 am

    Beautiful laptop but the overheating is horrible. This laptop gets very hot



  33. PSYCHO on April 5, 2021 at 2:37 am

    1:47 FALSE.

    It’s 10 GigaBITS per second.

    NOT GigaBYTES.

    You should know the difference by now working for a tech channel.
