    Well, it's great but I don't know if I need sub 1kg laptop. The battery size seems off (understandable why).

    Might be suitable for dwarf, I think.

  • How is HPs built quality compared to Lenovo? Have not used them for sometime

    • I never had a problem with HP yet… used three generations of Elitebooks. Using my fourth one now for work. Using an Envy at home and so far no problems.

      11th Gen Intel on the Elitebook and 12th Gen Intel on the Envy.

    • No problems with HP, but Lenovo feels more premium than HP

    • +5

      it’s kinda hard to speak for build quality of entire brands like Dell, HP and Lenovo who make so many grades and lines of laptops tbh

      I’d speculate the build quality is not unlike most other consumer laptops

      • +2

        True, and additionally, reputations also wax and wane. HP was good up to around 2013, then took a big dive to almost junk status, but in the last 5 years their quality seems to have returned across most laptop ranges.

        Dell also has good and bad periods.

    • +1

      No

    • Subtle difference in resolution = worse battery life.

      2K (1920 x 1200) vs WQXGA (2560 x 1600).

      With a 43Wh battery, probably would need to stay closer to an outlet than a slightly heavier laptop.

  • +2

    Hrmmm… it seems that this SOC can’t really even reach its base clock based on a review.

    Non upgradable memory as well.

    But for the price and use case, it’s worth it. Don’t expect workstation or gaming fidelity from it. But for your Joe Average all good on that front.

  • This is pretty much what I’m after and right price range, but would like touch screen - is Acer the only other viable option?

  • +4

    Also annoying this doesn't have a USB4 port(s) ,whereas the intel version does.
    It's a great price for the specs, but not being able to hook in USB4 peripherals like an eGPU is a huge oversight, given it's possible on this AMD generation of chips.

  • Would this be sufficiant for photo editing?

    • +1

      Absolutely yes. Would also be fine for light video (source: edit videos all the time on my Ryzen 7840U HP laptop). The only thing I'll say against HP is that both models of theirs I've owned (last year's Pavilion Plus 14 and last year's Pavilion Aero 13) that the fan is annoying, both in terms of how often it's on and in terms of its frequency (pitch). This means the fan will likely be on while editing photos because it's a somewhat demanding task. Whether this will annoy you is probably highly dependent on you thought - I've literally just been diagnosed as autistic, and even before the diagnosis I was always the person to be like "What's the sound?" only to have other people be like "What sound?". I have to wear headphones to use either of my HP laptops, though granted I also usually do that in an open plan office.

  • Any chance can play games or just old school 2d stuff? Hope it's better than my LG gram.

    • It won't be too bad - one of the best iGPUs.
      Taking info from this review: https://www.ultrabookreview.com/64396-amd-radeon-780m-benchm…
      *I'm assuming it would have a 25W limit being in such a slim laptop.
      Bioshock Infinite (DX 11, Low Preset): 128 fps
      Dota 2 (DX 11, Best Looking Preset) - 74 fps
      Far Cry 5 (DX 11, Low Preset, no AA) - 44 fps
      Far Cry 6 (DX 12, Low Preset, no AA) - 40 fps
      Shadow of Tomb Raider (DX12, Lowest Preset, no AA) - 53 fps
      The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt (DX 11/DX12, Low Preset, Hairworks Off) - 45 fps

    • Can vouch that 780M is an excellent iGPU, and StuBalls' numbers sound on the money. I'm trying to think of what games I've specifically played on my 7840U HP (8840U is a rebranded 7840U iirc) and games like Dredge, What Remains of Edith Finch and The Stanley Parable (all recent-ish, all 3D) all ran excellently at higher resolutions than this panel, and I've also successfully played Dark Souls 1, 2 and 3 at 1080p on high on the predecessor to this iGPU (the 680M). Games that haven't run well are Sekiro and System Shock Remake.

  • Does this come with finger print reader?

  • have previous version of this and love it - ridiculously light, great screen and love the finger print reader. At low brightness I can get more than 7 hours of youtube video streaming on the battery, so not as bad as you might fear given its small battery size.

  • Can these output 3440x1440p @120hz/144hz to an external monitor?

  • Deal back on

  • +1

    If only it had touch screen I'd be sold on it.

  • Got 4 for work, wouldn’t buy again
