🎥 HP Spectre 14 Review: th-cam.com/video/7X-R38PRGRQ/w-d-xo.html
Between this, the HP Spectre 14, and the Asus Zenbook 14 I think this years laptops have been pretty solid thus far.
He said that prefers specter
Someone should probably compare these 14in 2in1 laptops.
They are way better than my IdeaPad Flex 5i 2020. Double the price, so the newer ones are pricey. However, everything about them is much better. On mine, I have a 4core 1ghz CPU with a screen that makes reds look pink or orange and is a little buggy with the stylus.
no AMD cpus, so they're substandard
Yes i already purchased IntelCoreUltra laptop. I am very very happy.
Yeah. Crazy good year so far tbh
I can tell the difference between this review and all the reviews I have seen beforehand which were all sponsored. It is interesting to see a more realistic take on it. The laptop is still impressive but there are minor quirks that would definitely drive some people away. 👍
Hello Josh, Legion 7i came out a couple weeks ago, review soon? Thanks
Great video as always JustJosh team 🙂
Thought I’d point out that the cpu performance looks like it trends with release date (more time to optimise for the new intel core ultra?)
Thanks for another honest review.
Hey Josh, any chance you'll be reviewing the thinkpad 16p gen4? Looks like a great laptop!
Thanks
I was waiting for this review so that I could get your input before i bought the Yoga 9i, but now after watching the review...I went with the HP Spectre x360! Thanks for all effort you put into these reviews!
i hope they will have dragonfly with new processor
How is the spectre
Great video, thanks!!
Great insides and very clear review as usual. I like better with only Josh presenting. Hope could see an opinion on Samsung book4 it's not in my list of possible buy but would be interesting to understand how it compares with the top of the line in 2024
Hello Josh, will you guys test Lenovo Legion 7i and Lenovo Legion Pro 7i from this year? Thanks a bunch in advance.
Josh can you please review the Lenovo - Yoga 7i 16" WUXGA 2 in 1 Touch-Screen Laptop - Intel Core i7-1355U - 16GB Memory - 512GB SSD
Does this Lenovo laptop support external monitors over DP @ 4K 60Hz 10-bit?
Thank you! I was about to buy 9i 2in1 and I was looking at the Spectre before. I just didn't trust HP. Although, one more competitor in this price range is the asus-zenbook-duo-2024-ux8406. You lose the 2in1 with asus but gain it with a screen, but good luck finding it in stock. Side note I'm definitely getting the new iPad Pro this year. I'm a CS major, what do I do Josh, should I not be looking at 2in1s?! >.< School is starting in April, sigh.
I bought it before any reviews were available, as it was on special from day one. I'm happy with it so far. For every day mixed use it's completely silent. Fan comes on occasionally but very quietly, and I have to put my ear closer to check.
and the performance part like video editing?
@@KP21530I haven't done anything so far that needs performance I must admit. I'm usually on battery saver mode but still only get about four hours (seems like that but haven't timed it officially) which is disappointing. Build quality is great and the dark blue version looks good. No complaints apart from battery but I guess most are far from the quoted specs in the real world.
So what is the main difference between yoga9i vs yoga pro 9i vs yoga pro 7i
Can you review lenovo slim 7i, especially ultra 5, because ultra 7 reviews are many. i think it is a good laptop
I was about to order it right now, but it looks like I will wait a bit for a discount. 🤝
sometimes there are random 20% discounts on lenovo. I just got one while scrolling through all the laptops on lenovo
can you test if 4k content looks better on a 1080p monitor verses a 1440p monitor due to simpler down scaling factor?
Is this newer model worth the price if I can get an almost brand-new 2023 model for $800?
But watching these videos are something awesome I do with my day.
As a developer and occasional creator, how does this compare to the Lenovo ThinkPad Z16 Gen 2? Appreciate it is Intel but is the Z16 close in other aspects?
Just bought a Yoga 9i with the Ultra 7 155h Its so nice.
The keyboard offset to the left forces you to rest your right wrist on the trackpad and causes unintentional right clicks. This one flaw was a deal-killer on the 2023 model for me. Its surprising that they failed to correct this on the 2024 model.
Which is the best 14 touch OLED laptop this year? The Yoga i9 or Specter 14? Or something else?
What do you think about the Asus Zenbook Pro 15 flip (UP6502)? I am considering buying it because it's currently on sale for -$500 coming in at $1300 CAD.
Hey josh, i really need some opinion on Lenovo Yoga Pro 7i 14.5" 2024, please i need some help
Please, is it possible to review Lenovo yoga pro 7i (core ultra 7, 32gb RAM, 1tb nvme) I am an engineering student (computer science) and I want a laptop Durable and can handle heavy duty tasks, I also want to test its durability to see if it withstands shock, I know it's too much to ask, but thank you for your patience I hope you Have a great day 😊
This is an EXCELLENT review in terms of quality and objectivity! Wow!! Just Wow! I love it. We need more tech reviews like this instead of the shill copy-pasta you see everywhere else! Sincerely appreciate this. Keep up the good work!
Hey Josh, are u aware if this laptop has a core ultra 9 sku with 32gb ram as well?
8:51, Ah yes. From your accent I was able to deduce that the laptop comes with 16gb ram.
Im going to use it in school but it will be for programming, should i get this one or the 16in version
can we disable the keys on the right to the keyboard?
Still waiting the review of the Samsung book 4 2-in-1 to make my final decision. Thanks you for the excellent job you always do
So do we have to have it plugged in? I thought the point of a laptop was for it to be portable?
HP has a hardware ISSUE regarding HINGES. I suffered a hinge break on my Envy which is only 2 years old. I cannot trust HP 2 in 1 hinges anymore, with such premium laptops even more so especially because the replacement and repair is costing me more than half the price of my Envy.
Review the Galaxy book 4 pro 360
I wonder how this chip is compared to the regular M3?
Tx Josh
Do you your reviews which one is your preferable pick last years Lenovo yoga pro 9i 2023 or this years Lenovo Yoga pro 9i 2024
This year's is massively better. Please use our link to buy. It helps grow the channel
Yay ! New employee!
Hey Josh, thanks for this review. I'm currently leaning a little more towards the yoga 9i. Can you explain why exactly you prefer the spectre? That wasn't really clear to me in the video. On most of the comparisons I've found the yoga had slightly better performance and better battery life. Performance (in this range, not to edit 4k videos), battery life, build quality and pen writing for taking notes are the most important factors for me. Thanks!
The Spectre has been Redesigned and feels more premium.
I have a question: I have a hard time deciding if I would buy the Spectre 360x 14 or this year Yoga 9i 2024. Can I use it for design and render? Which laptop is better for design or even light rendering, which is betrer performance-wise?
Which did you pick?
What you think about this years lenovo ideapad 5 2 in 1? I am from Europe and there is a price around 800 Euros. It has an AMD Ryzen 8845hs with Radeon 780m,16 gb ram, Oled Display, HDMI, Micro SD etc.. Do you think thats a great configuration for a little bit lower budget? I am open too hear any other feedback. If you are have knowledge in these laptop area. My actuall Laptop has an i3 of the 7gen I think he is now old😂 so I need to have a change. Which should be a touchable device which still is a laptop like these 2 in 1 laptops and with 800 Euro Budget. I guess the Lenovo Ideapad 5 with the AMD Ryzen 8040 series is a great choice for that. I know that is compared with the 7000 series just an AI Update but I think better than to buy the self configuration for the same price. Thanks for any help or not.
i have the amd ryzen 5 config and it is awesome, the included pen is shit though, best to get a precision pen 2.
@JustJoshTech Sound like the screen door effect is as worse as on previous models... For me personally this kills it... I don't understand that they can sell such things... Pitty the 4K is only 60hz... Had issues with trackpad to on the previous generations...
Is the MacBook Air 15 M3 better for software development than the M2 version? Thinking of getting one today with 16GB ram.
Yes, it is. Use our website if you can! It supports the channel
@@JustJoshTech Thank you, I do use your site. But unfortunately can’t buy using links because of my location :(
Hi, is it adaptive 120 Hz display? or fixed between 60 and 120 hz.
i think its a fixed 60 or 120hz screen. Unlike the adaptive screen that HP has on spectre, Its actually a point loss for Lenovo tho, but im a fan of Yoga and considering buying one in a meantime
Surface pro 10 March 21. Plz be reviewing.
Josh, can you please review Lenovo Yoga Pro 7 with AMD Ryzen 7 8845HS and compare it to Yoga Pro 7i with Intel Ultra 7 155H?
We do have it. I think an Intel vs AMD video isn't on the cards till May at the earliest though
I just bought the Specter and it is awesome. Right now I think it is mac on windows. Premium build, solid performance, low fan noise, 0 heat and good speakers. But the best? The keyboard, I had a MacBook Air m1 and the specter keyboard is wayyyy better.
Yes. Spectre keyboard really is next level
Overall, Would you guys recommend this laptop or the HP X360 14" ?
That is in the video
Hp spectre x360 14" 2024 is much better
Hi josh! As a student, Ive been considering getting myself a convertible laptop. I wanted to get the yoga 7i since the 9i is almost double the price here. Could u do a review on the 7i?
Yes we will
But I'm away, so will be 2nd week June
Two presenters... That's new, I like it
I can’t wait for a JustJosh MacBook Air 15 review.
Next week
@@JustJoshTech :D
2:59 Placeholder Laptop review when? Lol
I wish there was a 32gb version. I feel the Core Ultra 155 is underpower compared to AMD one later on...not sure but based on reddit hardware forums.. seems that way. I do like the Yoga 9i though I had an older one.
Pro version comes with 32gb
Hey Josh (and anyone), I just bought this laptop today, and I am experiencing crazy heat issues. I am literally just on the web and it is like an oven. Any possible solutions?
It may still be initial software and drivers installing. I'd give it another day or two
uh, Josh? I need your MBA-M3 review. I won't buy without a favorable review from you but I do need a new machine.
Yeah Josh's channel is one of the few remaining that I can trust not to go full shill for the money.
Will it be able to run Inventor or Solidworks on it?
Yes, but i would recommend a laptop with a GPU, if you use these programms a lot. The GPU depends on your use, but you should be fine with a lower end model.
I am really in doubt whether i should go for the 9i or the spectre. The touchpad and wifi 7 seem nice on the spectre but the build quality looks better on the 9 to me.(visually). The most important thing for me is that it feels sturdy and comfortable flipping it around instead of it flexing and creaking when flipped.
i do have the same concern. I have already been a Lenovo guy since 2022 with Yogal Slim 7 and I can tell you the build quality is great, and the hinge is sturdy. But the battery life and fan noise is kinda meh so i heavily look up for replacement and this Spectre gain my interest. But I do have a hunch that i think this review is kinda biased and i think its sponsored? idk
@@mahenwardhana It does feel like it since they are pretty negative towards the lenovo but i think this is one of the most objective channels for laptops and i think its not sponsored especially because they do a straight comparison instead of just making abstract points with no relative. Even though I was really convinced i would go for the lenovo i think ill buy the spectre. The haptic touchpad, the fact it has wifi 7. I also just feel lenovo has to match these specs next year and the yoga from this year will feel like old bc it misses out on much of the new stuff
@@magnus9316The Wi-Fi is also slotted, so you can replace it with Wi-Fi 8 if need be or replace it if it dies.
@@mahenwardhana i bought the spectre. I can tell you they didnt lie and I can definitely see they think the build quality is superior to the lenovo. I do like to do dual boot and use linux but linux support is not good for the moment. Also this laptop has a lot of very nice special features like the haptic touchpad and a privacy shutter with button which will be hard to find drivers for in linux unfortunately
@@magnus9316 Hi! that's very nice of you to actually follow me up regarding the discussion we had! Congrats on your new stuff. Within these products, I can certainly say these are very great products, and ill satisfy with whatever option I choose!
I also like the design and quality of the HP has to offer, especially the efficiency and the haptic feedback, but how about the Hinge? I actually do worry about that, since many of the reviewer didn't particularly say it has great hinge, and cant even lift with one fingers. Would you please give me slight of your experience of this one?
My delightful thanks!
Well I got the same laptop but not the same results. Run Cinebench R23 and got 11307 pts that is even below last year model. So question is the laptop I got missing something ? For Cinebench 2024 I got even lower number 524 pts. Any thoughts ?
Zero chance you should get that. Did you get Core 7 or 9. 7 should be about 700 points
@@JustJoshTech Got the exact same model you have Yoga i9 2024 model. 14IMH9 is the ID off the laptop. And this is Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) Ultra 7 155H
You have latest drivers and bios?
Nice review as usual JJ !!! Keep going!! As a thinkpad fan there is no point to buy a yoga 9i against any macbook air 13 - 15 m2 or the new m3... Those fan noise numbers are a shame for Lenovo and Intel...
Josh can you please review Lenovo Ideapad Pro 5 2024 ( Core ultra 7 155H, 84WHr battery, oled 120Hz display)
Yes but it just arrived yesterday. Will be very late March or early April
@@JustJoshTech Always wating for your genuine review Josh ❤
I don't know what to do in my life: Asus Zenbook 14 (2024), this Lenovo, Asus G14 (2024)...😢
@3:10 Seriously? So a 3-4 hour video editing session on battery life - will ruin the battery?
I thought using USB-C to charge the laptop is the worse thing, since they get the Battery very hot.
(Anyways I heard the Pro 9i on battery ofers only 1.5hr battery life)
Only 16 GB here in the UK 😢😢
Yeah, I wouldn't buy it then...
Such a shame the spectre only does ansi keyboard in EU, forces me to buy this yoga
Why is having a slot for the stylus such a rare feature? It's really convenient
Yeah and they used to have a built in stylus on the older yoga laptops and they got rid of it which is a shame.
@@larrytraberI have one on my C13 Yoga, which is a pretty modern machine. But it has the disadvantage of being 13 inches and a chromebook, though that doesn't bother me because I only use it for notetaking and have another computer for my main work
In the UK, all premium ultrabooks seem to be around the £1600 mark for the 16GB/512GB base spec. This is £1650, probably a bit more due to the 2-in-1 ability. However, the Windows ultrabook market is now costly for even base users. There are no more 8GB/256GB due to Intel's requirements for Core Ultra chips, meaning those of us who wanted a premium Windows laptop for around £1000-1100 can forget about it; mid-range it is.
I praise Apple for keeping the base at 8GB/256GB, meaning many of us who cannot afford £1600+ can get a premium ultrabook for £1100, which will be fine for most users even with the lower specs. I noticed that to compensate for that, Dell, for example, still sells the 12th and 13th-gen base 8GB/256GB, but that still means that, unlike Apple, you cannot get the latest chipset at £1100. I think that is a bad mistake.
Please review Samsung Galaxy Book 4 Ultra, RTX 4070...
Will do, it's not available for us to order yet btw
Excellent review. But you did not mention any of its AI features. I am mainly excited about this laptop because of its compactness, processor efficiency gains, and AI features. 😃
We need to take a look at this spererately. I'm not sure if software has been updated to really make use of it yet
@@JustJoshTech Fair enough. Might be mostly a gimmick for now but as an AI enthusiast, I would make full use of it.
its not just Josh now...
I miss the teal
Compared to my Yoga 9i gen 9, it sounds like your model has a defective trackpad.
Yeah it looked so out of place when I saw it on theirs. Very strange how Lenovo would make the trackpad sound like that.
Raised with Lenovo
If you have a sec, take the laptop bottom off again and remove the battery, see if all the trackpad screws are there. @@JustJoshTech
Did someone else notice he changed his shirt halfway through?
damn you really love bar charts
AMD over the intel chip, pwm-free ips screen and user replacable RAM & SSD would make this a viable alternative to macbooks
Are you ever thinking of reviewing the 7i version?
Yes, we have it, but we are majorly backlogged right now. I was sick for 3 days and we lost alot of production time.
@@JustJoshTech no problem thank you!
1600€? do i look like being made of money to you? the more sane option is the ideapad 5 2 in 1 gen 9, that is half the price. sure it doesnt have the Premium flashy build but works like it should
The third USB C is USB4, so 40gbps :)
Thank you
I'd take the Yoga over Spectre any day. HP laptops drop dead the most out of any other brand. Most of them just die beyond repair and you can only hope it happens on warranty.
Why no comparisons with AMD cpus?
We normally add them, must have been a miss. I'll keep an eye out for next time. Thank you
@@JustJoshTech Thank YOU for your commitment!
Gabby has hairy wrists when checking the sharpness of the edges and the sound levels!
How can this premium laptop be for students. It is premium laptop, even yoga 7 is semi-professional level.
Like a spoiled king I will say: The edges are too rounded.. next!
If it's OLED then it comes only in 14".
If I choose 16" then it's lcd screen 60hz 🤡 why Lenovo?!!
Asus too not releasing a 16" OLED zenbook 😅
The 16-inch OLEDs are much more expensive due to lower supply and smaller economies of scale.
@@andyH_England oh okay . That's new info for me. Thanks!
Look at the Galacy Book 4 Pro 360
5:10;Doesn't really make a difference
Hmm nope it makes a big difference 😂
Although not worth that price
It makes a difference that the Screen door effect is not that of an issue... But serieusly if you are used to 120hz you can't go back 😢
@@Cybertron667 even 90 is already feels bit smoother
165/240 couldn't resist
60 for work and 165 for gaming ATM
Sadly doesn't support Docking, according to Lenovo.
I have it connected to this, its amazing: amzn.to/4ahsf4V . I know its not a traditional dock but this one is FANTASTIC
@calendar9497 Where have you heard that from Lenovo?
@@markmierkowski1993had the older 9i with i7-1185G7 and it wasn't working with TB Docks, so I called Lenovo Premium Support and they told me, that only ThinkPads are designed to work with docks, every other line might work, but it's down to pure luck.
Please review Asus dual screen 🥲
msi prestige 16 ai evo is much better in Turm of Lenovo price😀😀
We have one. Fan noise is not ideal
laptop for data science
I don't care about the Intel model ...
Think you cut off the accent joke before the punchline. Otherwise, great review
First
why the fuck when you review the display you put black picture so we can't see the real bezels.
Second comment!
$1500 usd staring price for a student.... idk what kinda money you think we have lol what about $500 ish range for us broke boys dealing with inflation? lol
Next video has one for you
Actually not next one but soon. Check our website we have cheaper options
@@JustJoshTech damn you're fast and ok its all good still waiting on my student aid refund anyway. lol
@@JustJoshTech tbh I've been looking at a Refurbished T14 AMD Gen 3 ryzen 7 PRO 6850U. with my student discount I can get it for about $600.
The new I7 155H CPU is a performance dog. My 13th Gen I-7 13700H will beat it in every performance metric except battery life and it's 2 years old. Qualcomm is going to bury Intel in the laptop market.
If you compare it to the H series 13 gen, the CPU is a sideways upgrade. Just better efficiency. Looks like they just thought the ARC Graphics would sell this generation now that it has caught up to AMD.
no AMD no buy
I agree. Fortunately, Framework exists.
What do you mean by "We don't have those older laptops in the studio, so we can't test them" ?? Comparing Intel Core Ultra 155H vs. other Intel Core Ultra 155H !!!!!!! Everyone knows that this generation is not that much faster than the last one, so why don't you, as a reviewer, shed light on that?!
I have no idea what you are talking about. I said we are using an older benchmark to compare prior year models with the new ones. That is because we can't run the latest 2024 versions of the benchmarks on them as we no longer have them. Therefore we ran the older benchmarks on the latest laptop so we could compare.
Overall we showed both the history of performance improvements of the Yoga 9i and how it stacks up vs it's current competitiors. I have no idea why you are so upset
@@JustJoshTech I expect when you review a current generation intel, at least core i7 1360p and 1355U be present in the comparison charts. Not a chart full of Core Ultra 155H in it!
@@6Ligma Both the older 1260p and 1360p versions were in a chart compared to this one. I explained very clearly why they couldn't be in the same chart
And to be clear. This generation is much faster than prior when it comes to U and P series, which this laptop had in 2023. It makes it perform like a 13th gen H series. Normally found in larger gaming laptops. So, for larger laptops that had that H series processor, there is no performance gain, but for smaller with U and P, the gain is there. Significantly, so for U series.
Mate did you even watch the video or are u just commenting to give them a bad rep? They literally included last year's laptops with those CPUs.@@6Ligma
