yeah so the liberty of replacing RAM in these things is no more, and then these laptops aren't so good when the onboard memory goes bad and you have to replace the entire mainboard just for one RAM.
I bought one of the new Lenovo Legion Slim 5's gen 9. With an rtx 4070. Its a thin and light but it's not really. I absolutely love it. It runs cool unlike the rog zephyrus g14. That think will cook your fingers. Ive never used an omnibook but they seem nice. Wish I had touch screen though.
This is indeed a great Laptop. You can play games on this laptop with how great the graphics chip is on the HX 375 APU. Just treat it like a Steam deck in terms of configuring games. Yeah I know you can definitely run higher settings on this laptop than you could a steam deck but the configuration idea still applies.
The ventilation is NOT just at the bottom, that is the intake for the single fan, the outlet is at the rear and blows directly on the screen, a pretty poor design IMO. My partner has the previous (Intel) model from work.
Does this laptop have a AV1/HEVC(H265) encoder? I'm looking for an affordable laptop that I can use as a streaming device instead of buying a second PC, as well as to be able to handle video editing and rendering exports in 1080p/1440p using Davinci Resolve.
those are codecs and can usually be used by CPUs to encode. a proper GPU has hardware dedicated just to doing that encoding. that usually works pretty well, but this laptop will not have it. you would be able to record video using AV1 codec, but mileage may vary. this laptop seems like a horse of a CPU, so it would probably work fine. You can buy any laptop with a Nvidia RTX 40XX card and those all have hardware-supported AV1/HVEC encoding and can be a low as like $800.
I hope Windows laptops can catch up to Apple's Silicon chips. I much prefer Windows 10/11 than MacOS, but the battery life and on-battery performance is miles ahead on MacBooks.
Oxymoron, thin and and light, and good in the same sentence. Useless for general usage and gaming, only great for specific usage cases like business travel.
My advice....don't got near HP laptops. I've had one now for three years. And it has crashed for no reason 4 times already, I had to reinstall windows on it just to get it going again
I bought an open box 15.7" Asus VivoBook OLED with a Ryzen 5800HS and a 3050 for about $800 Canadian a few months ago. Ridiculous value for a media consumption and a light gaming machine.
I got the 14" VivoBook Pro version for almost the same a year back on sale. Can't complain for now... only the body is a bit meh (to much flex and a fingerprint magnet).
A grand for a notepad considering what's out there for less in laptop world seems silly. If you want a tablet with keyboard but also a little power then sure but its a narrow market.
Hi, Greg, Wow! A review where you didn't have to remember to turn the power strip on. After I noticed the TORX screws, I knew this was a quality product.

@HoundDoungMech you missed the point entirely. There people out there who want a thin and light laptop. This IS NOT A GAMING LAPTOP. Yeah you can play games on this laptop but is NOT advertised as such. AMD makes great processors for laptops and mini PCs. You don't know anything about PCs.

...we already have ThinkPads.
Today's ThinkPads are not as good as the ones back in the day.

Nice laptop, even made of metal!
What I'm more keen to see is the "Strix Halo" version of something like this, next year... and ofc, more ports.
Sound quality from the laptop not quite as good as your normal microphone, but good enough.
Does HP still stand for Hinge Problems? Every HP I have had, including the HP Envy X360 which also has that logo, has been a piece of TRASH.
Halo APUs in AMD laptops after CES 2025 will dominate everything but higher end Nvidia 4070+ laptops. In a word: wait...
Would have loved to see more modern games being tested, but great review!
I hate how AMD made an absolutely brilliant laptop CPU range then proceed to give it a dogshit naming scheme
That NCS song is such a throwback. 3:49
oh boy wait until he hears that HP stands for Hinge Problems xd

@@mastermind6000 I was specifically asking because this laptop doesn't have a dedicated GPU and if the inboard iGPU has the encoder or not. Thanks.
AMD CPU = Yes, Intel = No.
@@mastermind6000where are you getting your information? this can absolutely encode and decode av1 and h.265 at 4k.
@@boofe-ot5gi where did I say that? I specifically said you can encode anything via CPU, without dedicated modules.

Nice laptop but I'd rather have a bigger screen. I assume it's powered via a USB C port??

I'd only had good experiences with HP and previously Compaq. I'd say, get HP laptops and avoid Acer and Asus.
Once again Greg posts a video mere hours after I've searched for said product online 😂😂

IMO open box implies a new unit returned, not an old device resold. The 5800s and 3050 are both a few years old now.

nice video, bad timing. M4 Pro laptops just showed what is really possible in portable machines (of course, still not two in one)
2:43 Drake and Josh 😍😍
Wow, this video performed terribly Oo What happened?!
Mate you need to put sponsor in the video title or in the video. Not cool
Just reminds me how much I hate modern Yu-Gi-Oh!
Disappointed you did not disclose in the video that this is sponsored.
Less than 5 minutes into the video, I knew the video was sponsored.
He said he partnered with amd and hp..
What software does this come with? Does it have any form of bloatware?
1 month of Adobe, xbox pass, mcafee…
Is that a schecter guitar up on the wall? I’ll ask again, where is your tele? And oh yeah, nice little laptop 👍🏻

Greg, was your whole spiel about AI and TOPS generated by AI?!? Lol
Those new intel cpus are amazing. Great laptop.
Thanks Intel paid guy.
you drop a discreet GPU in there, you would get about 5 mins batt time.
Windows laptop and word good don't go well together in the same sentence
i mean it's nice but for the price id rather go framework.

Can you give me a laptop. I don't have one and my computer is so old, it smells 😢 no $$$$
I'm sorry but a macbook = the only good choice for a laptop now
LMAO how about no
HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAA!!!
Nope just nope. Macbooks are good laptops but they are NOT the only good choice for laptops now. You just sound like a Macfanboy.
Hi!
After how AMD is literaly running FG on their Ai based APUs to make Lunar Lake Battlemager iGPU loooks bad

Or know anything about them apparently.
