I picked up the 13th Gen non-OLED with 16GB/512GB for $999 at Best Buy a couple of weeks ago. At that price, it was an incredible deal and battery life is excellent. The screen is a highlight. It's bright and the blacks are noticeably deep. With it being so good, I can't imagine what the OLED version looks like. I am extremely happy with it. It's nice to have a USB type-A port just in case. My one wish is that the Thunderbolt ports were on the left-hand side since it shares a desktop with a M1 MBA.
Great review of this laptop ! Couple questions - did this have the Nano Sim card and if so how did it work ? Second I plan on using Davinici Resolve for some basic edit - no color grading or things like that. Will I have any issues or would I need and external Grpahics card ? Thanks !
I demoed da Vinci in the video doing some light weight editing - if you’re not doing anything crazy it should be fine but it’ll be faster with a dedicated GPU. I did not have the cellular option on the review unit
Lon. It's a shame you didn't test the tablet mode in Ubuntu - the keyboard should be disabled automatically when it's folded back. Also, does the display auto-rotate in tablet mode, and does the stylus work properly (hover, pressure sensitivity) in Linux? You treated the device like a typical clam shell laptop, but other sensors come into play with a 2-in-1. Too bad you can't test these before you return it to HP.
I am doubtful they'll be ready by then but I think I might be able to make it back down. The good news is that I got some great interviews during their media opportunity yesterday so I have some good content either way.
Seems like a neat laptop. Just realized a good use of the 2-in-1 factor....hide the inferior keyboard and hook up a mechanical keyboard to use a desktop replacement. 😅 I guess that's just me tho.
Could please tell me which display is better? 13.5" diagonal, WUXGA+ (1920 x 1280), multitouch-enabled, IPS, Low Blue Light, 1000 nits with integrated privacy screen or 13.5" diagonal, 3K2K (3000 x 2000), OLED, multitouch-enabled, UWVA, Low Blue Light, SDR 400 nits. Thanks.
Thank you for the video. I want to ask whether one could utilize split screen in tablet or in either modes in order to take notes with the pen on one side of the screen while reading a pdf text book on the other side of the screen? Asking in general if the laptop is suitable for students?
After 6 months of usage, the most disadvantage is the battery running away so fast maybe last for maximum 6hr working from 100% to 20%. I am really very upset.
Yeah that sucks man. If it continues to be an issue, I believe the battery on this model is easily replaceable and only costs about 100 bucks. I think the part number is HP L97357-005.
This was the best review for this laptop that I've seen on TH-cam so far, thank you!

Slightly off topic, a bit disappointing about the Artemis Launch, are going back on the 2nd of September?

@@LonSeidman I am looking forward to your awsome content, your insight and the interviews.
seems like a nice all around laptop

It's weird to see how tablets and windowspcs are interchangeable

It's a no brainer
Well all depends on your budget.

Is the display capable of going above 60hz? It breaks my heart whenever I see a flagship laptop display not running at 120hz
Lon is there a way to reach out to you to ask you a couple of questions please? Thanks
how do I use an external GPU ? Have recommendations ?
You should audiction for fantastic 4 live action movie

Weirdness. In a good way.
Too bad it's not 16:10
With a garbage webcam /pen /beginner RAM /non gaming setup & more, HP wants $1750 for this, ofcourse many hybrid-loving idiots will buy this 😀
If you value your money never buy an HP. It looks gorgeous outside but man it won't last a year!
Then which brand and model can excel this?
@@dipakkumarbiswas8635 I have had my HP 13-4101dx since 2015. Never had any issues throughout undergraduate and graduate school.
