I got this laptop, buyers beware though given he advertises this as epic battery life. There are two varients of the laptop, one with the 6 cell battery and one with a 3 cell battery. In my country they only sell the 3-cell, heavy load that gets me 2 hours of battery life, light usage can get me up to 8.
The touchpad on the laptop is great, its clickable on most of the surface with an even feeling click (90%) but the 10% that isn't you won't realistically hit because of the size, so in perception its a fully clickable touchpad with a very nicely tuned click, very pleasant touch surface and great calibration out of the box.
The only thing I managed to break was the HP Sure Run and Sure Recover feature, I recommend people to stay away from those since I can't turn those off.
As far as Linux compatibility goes this laptop is going to be fantastic, but will need Kernel 6.2 or newer before its compatible out of the box.
You are my favourite laptop reviewer
Cuz you go into every detail of the laptop
Thanks for the vid
I can only admire your hard work
Nice laptop. Camera and mics are good. Keyboard layout is very good. Like the full size numpad. It is laid out correctly. No very small number keys like you see on many other brand PC's with a numpad. On a light colored PC having dark keys makes it much easier to see the letters and numbers with the backlight. Like the easy access to the insides and great upgradeability options. Agree with you this is an excellent choice for business users and non business users who still use spreadsheet and other numeric type of applications. Great review.
Hello, I have a question ❓
Have you ever worked or used a Asus VivoBook?
I just got the new Asus Vivobook x14 N7401Z.
Intel i9 12900h 36g ram OLED 14.5in
What do you think about that.
And also what HP or Dell that can be similar to this one any ideas in your recommendation
Pretty solid for the price. There should be an Intel version, too, which I would expect to be more expensive.
No touch screen
No pen support
No Thunderbot
No Dice for business users….
The camera looks kinda washed out and not very clear. The internal mic is not any better I'm afraid. No ethernet port or SD card slot are other negatives. 400 nits of brightness is my cutoff point. Anything lower than that for me is not very enjoyable. Everything else looks good from the Great battery life to the 16" IPS display, audio, DDR5 RAM and Gen 4 SSD. Overall, it is an Excellent laptop suited for the business executive. Another Winner of a review from the one and only Andrew Marc David!!! 👍😁
Thanks!
Uh I think you forgot the linux test section 😅
Ryzen 6000 Pro processor, 16" display, reasonable weight, numpad, GREAT batterylife AND LTE option for 1500$ was just insane! Sadly the sale seems to be over, still one of the best pro laptops if you have the money though.
Nice. But the numpad is mostly useless and makes the rest of the keyboard be asymmetric, too much on the left. This also means that there's not e enough space for good front facing speakers.
Just knowing this product is exist, nice revuew as always mr. David!
Andrew, I just love your channel. It's actually quite unique – as you cover enterprise stuff – well done Sir! Big fan!
