I would like to see a gaming demo if you don’t mind. I understand you are busy reviewing a lot of tech. I plan on using this for work mostly but will occasionally try to boot up a game. So I’m curious how that looks on this laptop. Thank you and as always keep up your great content! I love your channel.
Ordered one of these late January, I have been anticipating for this to come in for a while now. I am excited about the display, although I hope I can find solid justification for spending 2K on this…. Plus a shipping delay of two weeks on top of that, go figure.
@TheDigitalDigest I just discovered your channel! Am a Sony shooter (wildlife & landscape) myself. I just ordered a build from HP on the Spectre 16 with the Gen 13 i71360 , 32gb ram & this OLED. Mainly for photo editing on LR & PS. Did a ton of researching. I assume it should handle wheat I am in need of. If you have used this for a bit, did you have luck with good battery life?? Thanks.
Would you be able to compare this laptop to the Dell XPS 15 i think that is a decent laptop comparison despite that one having a bit more options and this one being an inch or so larger
That is reasonable battery life for 4K. I have a 1080p Galaxy Book Pro 360 i5 OLED 13-inch that struggles to get more than 5hrs! I have brightness at about 60% so that the PWM flicker disappears, but that is doing basic stuff! Maybe just Samsung as they are poor at optimising most of their devices? Nice, but I feel 16-inch is too big if indeed you will use it in tablet mode. I would wait for the 2022 12th-gens to land as there are some great stuff arriving with 2.5k OLED with 90Hz and hopefully better battery than the 11th-gen Samsung devices.
But that's the thing, I wanted the 10th gen Spector but people said wait for the 11th gen so I waited for the 11th gen, now people are saying wait for the 12th gen. I feel like there is no actual right answer when it comes to picking a laptop. I was able to get this particular Laptop for $1900(president day sale). If I cancel and wait for the 12th gen is it confirmed to be dropping in the next few months because my current old laptop is killing me.

Okay so I've had this laptop for about a week and it's fine but it's definitely not perfect. Pros- Build quality feels premium, keyboard feels really good. The trackpad feels fine, it almost feels like it's too responsive. Touch screen is also really good. When typing there's no screen wobble with my particular unit also I can't lift it up with one hand but that's not a big deal for me. The speakers are really good for a laptop in my opinion, really nice and out loud. There's really not that many fingerprints, you're only going to get fingerprints if you eat snacks and mess with your laptop or you just have sweaty hands. The 4K Oled screen is kind of a problem for me, I feel like it's too much color and too contrasty but that could just be my field of vision. Cons- The hinges are not perfectly aligned, one weird thing is I was able to push one of the hinges up stiffly with my thumb to somewhat make it align with the other, it's not lose it just wasn't perfectly align. The battery life goes away pretty quickly I went from 100% to 68% in a little under two and a half hours and I was just surfing the web and looking at a couple of UA-cam videos. Also it takes a really long time to charge this thing up to 100% your going to be waiting hours to charge this thing up to 100%. All in all it's fine, I'm coming from an old 4 gigabytes of RAM laptop so it's fine for me.
They still need to improve, ditch the power conector and just use UCB c which now is capable of higher voltage, a full size SD card slot and HDMI 2.1 48GBPS, 120hz LTPO2 technology , gsync, 600 nits oled contrast level Dolby vision compatible and maybe offer both AMD and Intel versions
Nice PC. For a productivity machine where a lot of users use Excel and other numerical types of software this is a big step backwards. HP and a lot of other manufacturers of 16 in PC's decided to remove their Numpad I think is a big step backwards. These manufacturers should put out an iteration of these PC's with a Numpad and one without. This way they can satisfy both camps of users. Last year's HP Spectre 15 inch and other previous years models have a well designed keyboard with a full size numpad. Very practical. This year's 16 in Spectre is designed to look nice but is less practical for functionality when using software that uses a lot of numeric input.
Let me ask you something,in 2021 model I saw 2 with same specs ,one with 3:2 ratio and other with 16:9 ratio ,which is the newest?? Should I grab this one or old one ,or zyphrus g14 with 3050 ti
And what work is that? 95% of laptop buyers, which includes educational institutions, government, and businesses, need a laptop that can do basic school or office work.
HP is not a match for microsoft, I mean do proffesional Digital Art and there difference is night and day, this is not a product that you would recommend when your doing making digital game asset for a living, it just fails as an all around device.

it's the best machine of its kind

I really like the tablet mode for notes. I tend to take notes standing up. Looking at things posted.

This machine is excellent and shows a lot of promise for the future of the Spectre line. I feel they went with a quad core to maintain battery life.

Between this and the Samsung galaxy book pro 360 15" i7 16GB RAM 1Tb SSD .. Which one would you choose? And Thanks
I would go with the HP but both are great machines. You can't go wrong.
if it can run MS Flight Sim with good fps then it's a keeper.
Quad core doesn't cut it for me. I LOVE my rog x13 + xg mobile by Asus. Finally a 2 in 1 that can REALLY du the work!
different use cases
And what work is that? 95% of laptop buyers, which includes educational institutions, government, and businesses, need a laptop that can do basic school or office work.
Why remove hdr playback?
great review for a 75 year old mixed user
Have an i7 12th gen Intel ARC graphics card variant.
anyone managed to get davinci resolve running on this laptop?
don't see why you wouldn't be able but this isn't the ideal machine for that.
Is this good for a lot of zoom meetings? Hosting & just joining.
Absolutely

Cool
