Cheap price for a laptop with a high refresh rate 120Hz OLED screen. The correct processor is in the title. Mobileciti shows 1335U which is an i5.
never trust this battery life benchmarks, in real life you will have 5-6 hours max - it's Intel + Windows
I get three hours battery life from my HP laptop on power saving settings. It’s next to useless for working remotely. I’m never touching a HP again as their battery claims I feel are deceitful if not fraudulent.
Likewise. Our workplace only use HP and they are all terrible with battery life
Finally some decent screens from HP they usually have 250nit. Reviews on this say its good value they have an AMD one too
Great deal.
The OLED and LCD screen are super nice and bright, good ergonomic but that's about it. Run hot and short because it's Intel and 1 slim fan!
Hmm i think they quoted 17hr battery is for the amd variant
Yeah, well 9-hr at max on YouTube and so on, even how efficient AMD is. I think only MSI nailed it with Intel platform nowaday..
We are wrong it is 17hrs
@shxhshzhz is there a 15 or 16 inch model of this please. TIA
This is the only HP Pavilion that they sell.
@FBI - As a fan of OLED tech and an owner of pretty much the objectively best consumer OLED TV to date the 77” Sony a95L QD-OLED, as well as an LG C9 WOLED TV, I personally would never purchase a laptop with an OLED screen. I wouldn’t feel comfortable with still menus and software being displayed daily for long periods of time on it… I have had the menu layout and icons on an OLED mobile phone screen burn in after about 2 years, and I wouldn’t want to risk it with a computer screen/monitor.
Besides I would never watch movies or TV shows on a tiny 14” screen or 16” screen anyway, and I don’t play PC games, so I don’t see the sense in needing an OLED screen for a laptop. My laptop is connected to a 34” 4K 165Hz ultra wide curved monitor which I mostly use for work. I bought the HP laptop with a 16” WQXGA screen in the following link for $1499 (their RRP was $2399 at the time) at the end of December 2023, I have had no problems with it, it’s been perfect for my needs:

- same but
not at home but at flight or when on holiday (but desperate to continue a tv show), i will
I don’t travel long distances on planes or on planes at all for work, and the majority of people don’t travel on planes for their jobs either. When I go on holiday I don’t take my laptop with me, that’s the last thing I would want to take… The purpose of a holiday is to get away from what you normally/regularly do in your everyday life, and a laptop is just an additional unnecessary thing to carry. I don’t travel on planes all that often, in fact the last time I was on flight was in August 2022, and the majority of flights I have been on have had screens in the back head rest with quite a good selection of recently released content… Unless I’m being a tight arse and decide to fly with say Jetstar for example.
I don’t really ever intend to watch movies and TV shows while I am on holiday, however if I get desperate, every hotel destination I’ve been to has a TV with streaming apps on it that I can login to using one of the several streaming accounts I have… I’m a pretty big physical media enthusiast for high picture and audio quality and other reasons, but I don’t feel the need to rip my collection and take it with me on holiday or everywhere I go, the quality on streaming services suffice while I’m away from home on the mediocre setups that essentially every single form of accomodation has away from home.
Agree. With static image elements such as the taskbar on Microsoft Windows, you will experience image burn/retention with an OLED panel.
Other than information displays, a Windows desktop is about as worse a use case for OLED as you can get.
There are various techniques that try to minimise OLED burn/retention but none work well enough to prevent it in these use cases. Also, these techniques such as pixel shift, while not noticeable when using the panel for TV/movie viewing, are noticeable when applied to computer desktop viewing and usually not enabled.
wow ok will take note to avoide oled laptop
Thank you. I will check the HP out 🙏
Thank you. I will check the HP out 🙏
Will it be better to wait for the Snapdragon PCs?
Probably yeah
This model seems to be priced around $1200-1300 at JB and HN so not a great deal, but still decent for the specs
$1150 at JB so a saving of $110

Is Lenovo Ideapad 5i better option with 1TB SSD instead of OLED display for $899? Thoughts?
I'm trying to find details on the I/o.. do these have 2* USB C + 2x USB a + HDMI & ethernet?
I have no interest in OLED considering use case is mostly work so price and other specs are what I would prioritise
According to the specs it has the following:
1 x USB 3.2 Gen 1
1 x USB 3.2 Gen 1 (Always On)
2 x USB-C 3.2 Gen 1 (support data transfer, Power Delivery 3.0 and DisplayPort™ 1.4)
1 x HDMI 1.4b
1 x microSD card reader
1 x Headphone / mic
I find it a bit strange that the ideapad misses out on a TB4 port when both the thinkbook/pad get it.
Edit: not a deal-breaker by any means, but having a TB4 port is a nice feature for down the line when TB4 external storage and peripherals are more widely adopted
16:10 display is a plus. Only 300 nits, but enough unless using outside. If you don't particular want the OLED than the Lenovo is good option. I may be biased as I have 3 in the house.
Is the RAM soldered or upgradable ?
soldered
Does this laptop run noticeably cooler compared to the Acer Swift Gos and their H-series CPUs?
Wow oled and still 17hr battery? I iwsh there is IPS version i am 90% using extrrnal monitor at home
