facial recognition: "it's probably him imo"

Yeah thats one thing I was wondering. Is it that it knows its him with the mask on, or is it so much less accurate that it doesn't care if the mask is on or off.
It's not a bug, it's a feature.
Could be using infrared sensor.

One, COVID restrictions and chip shortages are much worse, you literally cannot buy a modern GPU without paying 5x MSRP.
And two, Windows 11 has been announced with teams integration in the taskbar, so you cannot remove it without breaking the system. Oh, and you can't install it on anything lower than Coffee Lake or anything that lacks TPM 2.0, so your i7-7700K laptop that performs as good as a high-end laptop these days is obsolete by 2022.

I love the look of the laptop, sad that HP seems to have discontinued this look for this one.
After seeing you guys using this ifixit kit for years, I finally broke down and asked for one from my in-laws for Christmas. Turns out that it was the best purchase ever! Thanks so much for the recommendation guys, it is 100% worth every penny.
I was able to easily and quickly rebuild my PC in a new case, take apart my brother in-laws laptop that he dumped beer all over and actually save it, take apart my switch controllers and replace the battery and a few other projects. This kit is honestly so much nicer and more convenient than I ever could have expected!
HP already released a full and great tear down/repair guide of this model. Which is great for product durability and is worth mentionning.
Happy new year!
Woo
It's still 2020 here.
You too!!
happy new year man!

The spectre has always been my dream laptop
this has been my daily driver since it came out nearly 2 years ago. i love it so much, i usually have it plugged into an egpu and a thunderbolt 4 hub, but its so useful in switching moniters (i have 1 moniter on an hdmi splitter for game consoles) it can stream and play games (with an egpu) its a perfectly serviceable laptop when i take it around town or across the country to visit family.
Windows hello was originally meant to be iris reading and hp specifically is really good at it! I have an hp pavilion which does the same thing it’s really great
My surface will log me into windows even with the optical camera covered. It has an IR emitter and IR camera next to the optical camera, so it doesn't even use the optical camera at all. It picks me up with a mask on too. In about 1/4 of a second.

Happy New Years from Canada!! Don’t get buzzed!
EUROPEAN BUYERS BEWARE: This Laptop looks great! I've looked at this device for a long time and had it in my cart a few times, but only being able to get it with ANSI layout is a dealbreaker for me in europe (Swiss *ISO* layout is what i use). HP just prints different keycap fonts but not having our european keys is an absolute no-go. And they even tell you in a support chat and the product description that it is a Swiss/German/European layout but it's not. My mother bought an envy 15 x360 and it's great at everything except the ANSI layout. We returned it after finding out.
Actually that's great news!!! We in Lithuania don't expect customized keyboards, but there's nothing worse than to get German type QWERTZ or smth. I bought one (then without knowing) with my Surface Pro. Oh hell...
@@nomoshiti doesnt Most of eastern Europe use ansi anyway? So shouldn't they usually be sold that way, if you buy one with your regional keyboard?
Well I am in the uk and I have the 2018 version of this machine, It’s only an 8th core i7 with 16Gb memory, 1tb SSD a RTX 1060 Ti graphics card with a 4k panel but still worked brilliantly and like it’s just out if the box.
Got it direct from the HP uk web site
@@derfurz8618 no most of us use the ISO layout. Actually the ANSI layout only officially gets used in the following countries: Netherlands, Turkey and the United States of America (source: deskthority.net/wiki/Region-specific_layouts ). Although I think canada also uses the ANSI in the english-spoken regions.
@@DroidBen I thought... I'm in the Netherlands, and I searched for ANSI vs ISO. And thought, hey! ANSI is more my type of keyboard. But there you have it.
Looks good, would like to see how the pen performs when it comes to drawing or taking notes.
This is a good overview👍
Btw happy new year everyone and best of luck with 2021:)
The first time I open the Dell XPS laptops and no battery out of a backpack I was mind boggled. Glad to see people fix this
I literally just got the old hp spectre of course right when they make a new one
Ahaha I'm in the same boat mate, bought mine 4 months ago.
Wanted to buy the Envy but they don't have them in Israel and Amazon didn't have any that shipped here.
Im glad this laptop got updated, it was so close to being amazing.
Primarily use my spectre as as art tablet.. I switched from surface pro 7 to a 2019 spectre 15". I'm happy with the switch. Only thing keeping me from upgrading this year is lack of a 32gb ram option.
I love that Alex always grabs a tool or utensil.
I like how the power supply looks like a mini version of my hp omen 200 watt power supply

Thanks, awesome review, pls keep going.

This a thousand times. If I'm going to spend money on a nice laptop, I don't want its processor to be gimped.
This laptop was released months ago
Also Intel = premium

@@directlinkrexx4409 except amd is now at the same level at intel in both marketing and performance , cheaper to acquire and manufacturers could sell it at THE SAME PRICE and get BETTER PROFITS
ShortCircuit should review the ‘Comma 2’ from Comma AI. (Coming from the LTT video)
Loving the screen ratio and big battery!
I was already planning on getting this for grad school in the fall, and this video just makes me more confident in that decision lol. just need dbrand to make a nice skin for it to match my phone :)
I'm probably missing something, but the 14 inch x360 doesn't have an oled option on the hp website... Kinda strange that the amazon link does have that option.
I have to say, HP has been absolutely killing it lately with their laptop lines. I work in IT and did quite a bit of analysis between Dell, Lenovo, and HP and went with HP. The build quality the last couple of years has REALLY come a long way and with the pandemic causing shortages, HP configuration flexibility with AMD and Intel models is really helpful these days.
You can save battery by reducing the display resolution to half of what it currently is lol, Having it at exactly half the resolution makes sure it doesn't look blurry
Great review and video!
I want a Spectre purely for the look alone - it's so different and attractive.
Happy new year from Finland! 🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮
I just got my dad the Envy X360 15, we're pretty happy with it.
I preordered one too!
officially became a fan and subbed at 0:52
Now that the Surface Pro 7 nearly matches the high end of thin and lights (especially with the Brydge Pro keyboard), I'm no longer really interested in the category, but if I were, this would be a the top of my list.
And Alex, if you're having performance issues with SolidWorks, I can almost guarantee it's memory related, not CPU or GPU. My SP7 runs Inventor better than my work PC with a Quadro P3000 and i5-7600 because it has less other crap eating up memory and a much faster SSD for paging. If you try this laptop and devote 16 GB of the Optane drive to Virtual Memory I think you'd be pleasantly surprised.
It's sad that this level of IO is now considered "good"
Think pad t series io is good
$1300 for an quad core intel laptop in 2020... yeah.... definitely not awesome in any way. Shintel Inside 👎

I think the face recognition thing is a general update. My year old zenbook couldn't detect my face with a mask on a few months ago, but I tried it about 2 weeks ago and it worked.

once you realize how bad battery is you will regret it, I bought the 13.3 inch model twice and returned it since battery sucked pretty bad.
The brightness of 3K-2K OLED is amazing when I put it side by side with the cheap one.
I just picked up the 15 it took months to ship and now I'm thinking about sending it back for the 14 !
I got the OLED version and I can confidently say that the impact on battery life hasn't been noticeable beyond it being at like...15-20% when I plus it in for the night. The battery is insane man.

Happy new year everyone
I wouldn't buy this as a personal laptop but everytime I see it on display I still play with it. I love the design.
So many cool laptops out lately and every time the same thought:
PUT AN EFFING RYZEN INSIDE ALREADY
Get a Thinkpad P14s AMD version. You get a Ryzen 7 Pro 4750U with it. I got mine off of Ebay for $870 new, before tax.
lenovo has ya covered, kinda
How much better?
x360 times better
What are the odds u drop this the day I get my omen prebuilt
Normally go for the blacked-out tech spec whenever I get a chance, but the copper/bronze accents are really appealing to me.
6:07 it’s a Windows thing. My Alienware and Surface book 2 work even with a mask
The weird thing is, I have the Dell XPS 15 here as well, and it definitely does not recognize me with a mask on (but recognizes me just fine without).
I cannot imagine Dell changed some underlying code to make WIndows Hello not work with their laptops. If it's really a Windows thing, why does it not seem to work with Dell laptops? Unless there is some hidden threshold setting that Dell cranked up to be more secure, but HP left very low to make it easier to log-in.
It doesn't work on my asus laptop either. I don't think it's just a dell thing. Other laptops prolly don't unlock with the mask on as well
@@FragFrog01 I think it all comes down to the way we set up the Face ID. There is something called learn recognition which scans your face once more. I’ve done it multiple times (maybe even with a mask) so I guess that helps.
@@this_is_japes7409 lmao, Alienware is by Dell. And I have a 3yr old Alienware 😂. It all depends on how you set the facial reconstruction
@@FragFrog01 try and set it up from scratch again, probably learning algorithm doesn't know about you with a mask currently.
Other issue could be camera not good enough that it can only use the upper part of your face for recognition.
Alex: Its pretty hard to do better.
Me: Well I guess HP forgot Ryzen
probably waiting for the mobile 5000 series to be released first, they had some available with the 3000 series last year
As soon as I saw Intel only, I closed the video.

“IRIS XE graphics, which are just so much better than any other integrated graphics”
Apple M1 - “Wot”
_disclaimer: on x86 windows cpu*_
*That you can buy that's not Apple since if you're looking at this device you're probably gunning for a Windows machine.
@@impendio Even then, that's a huge lie. Intel is the worst out of the 3 x86 big names in graphics, since like, always! XE can sometimes can compete with ryzen iGPU's in raw fps perhaps ("much better" as he said? not even close), but it comes with a lot of issues most of the time, they aren't running those properly, and they do little to fix those issues if anything at all, which is why Alex's comment here is infuriatingly misguided.
It's nice to see them returning to the old 2018 proportions of the laptop just with a taller screen instead of the huge bezels. I just wish they would return to the old sure view privacy screen technology cause that had 120hz screens with pretty decent pixel response times. Typing this from my 2018 model. Streaming games or even other performance hungry apps on this beauty at 120 fps from my gaming pc while i'm on the go is just breathtaking when you think it's all going through the internet with just a couple ms of latency. Not to mention how smooth everything feels while running programs locally. Yes. I've been spoiled by high refresh rates and I'm not going back, 60hz gives me headaches now.
I realy love that Alex gets scientific in his reviews and provides objective arguments :)
Never been this early on short circuit
but can it see through sleep masks?
Interestingly, can't recall I heard LMG channels give the same either go with XPS 2in1 or HP Envy recommendations in previous Spectre videos.

"it should just be hibernating"
uh... there are a tone of people that turn that shit off, and it SHOULD be going into s3 mode and not the stupid as fuck connected standby or low power s0.
Wait, sorry, I'm dum, but how do you go to S3? do you go to the power setting menu the turn the lid close option to hibernating instead of sleep? Thanks
Dunno, I disabled the sleep mode on my PC cause with the SSD it wakes up exactly as fast from hibernation, the only difference being that I have to press the power button.
@@sammipanini s3 is sleep, it specifically defines the power state where only ram is on. It's more power efficient then connected standby and more appropriate for high power laptops and desktops. S0 connected standby is more appropriate for phones and tablets, as those have a greater reliance on information transfer and use far less power while in it then a laptop.
Hibernation is often disabled by those that do not wish for their ram be recorded onto traceable media. Let's say you have a private window open, do you really want that recorded to your hard drive or ssd?

It's a rip off
@@T1Ledlie Singlecore Perf. ain't too bad, but they are way too expensive and should have at least 6-8 cores :(
I mean...it's not like there is any other option...the top of the line SKUs in 13-14 inch super portable laptops don't have anything else but your strandard Intel U 4 core CPUs. At least this generation they have awesome iGPUs. I'm sorry, I love AMD and I'd love to have their CPUs in every laptop, but when you don't have the choice, you don't have the choice... Not to mention some of us with these laptops have TB3 accessories like TB3 docs and TB3 eGPUs. I literally can't switch to AMD since I have RTX 2070 eGPU and AMD does nothing with that.
Compared to the M1 Apple laptops, all these ultra thin Intel offerings seem too overpriced.
It's the business marketing that's having these laptops at like $1k. Hence even tho people may not like the " gaming " in many pc devices, finding a " gaming " laptop would give something better than the usual, " I'm here to buy a laptop to work in an office like a slave. " shtick. Just finding a $300 laptop with Ryzen in it be better than this monstrousity of a product. Intel been playing the rip off game as much as Apple has. Even Apple knows Intel was ripping them off, hence why Apple made their own in-house CPUs to cut costs on their end. Now is the time Intel really needs to step it up. Only thing keeping them alive now is business side of things but once they look at they need more for 3D rendering and anything involving something like Virtual Reality, they gonna drop Intel like a rock.Yeah maybe someone would say, " you need a GPU in there for that. " but business wants to be efficient. So AMD with The Ryzen will likely get the business deal if Intel fails to improve.
