      Not sure why you've been downvoted as it's a valid technical question. 🤷‍♂️

      Can't find the model on the HP website at all, but did find this website that says it's 250 nits. So it's a standard screen, that should be OK indoors/darker spaces.

      Also found that Officeworks answered a question advising that the Keyboard is not backlit, so another consideration for people who would like this feature.

                  slower processor

                  and $1199 versus $799… so 50% more..

                  No doubt the X1 nano will be a nicer machine…and lighter but unless you have $400 more and prepared to compromise heavily on storage and speed..

                  @watupman: X1 would be a much better build and good components, like a better screen.
                  However the 8 GB RAM probably isn't upgradable and the 11th gen i5 is pretty weak but sucks the battery.

                  • Kelvin on 08/10/2022 - 14:22
                    +1

                    @Phoebus: totally agree…
                    the 8gb /256gb configuration is is barely acceptable these days…
                    for any sort of longevity, you are going to need 16gb / 512gb.. or have the ability to upgrade easily..

                    I have a nice dell 9380 , 8th gen 16gb / 512gb, which I have had for 4 years.. . still works well…and keeps up with most things… (needed a new cmos battery.. which I DIY myself)…

                    If it was an 8gb / 256gb machine.. I would have probably had to ditch it long ago…

                    It would be nice to know if the ram / SSD is upgradable on this machine… if you could go the 32gb / and SSD upgrade later when required… this machine, will probably be future proofable for another 3-4 years.

      You'll find it commonly pitted against the 11th Gen Intel Core i5-1135G7 or the 12th Gen Intel Core i5-1235U.

      The Intels aren't Hexa core CPU's though, just in the same price/performance range.

    • Cousin IT on 08/10/2022 - 11:14

      Depends on a few different factors.

      Example, performance wise you'll find the newer Ryzen will have the edge on most tasks (benchmark/synthetic), but in day to day use, you'll likely not notice a 'huge' difference. Although saying that, battery performance will probably be crap on the Intel.

      In terms of features and what you want, the Intel will beat it, starting off with the fact it has a Touchscreen, WiFi 6, probably better built compared to the HP.

    I may have prematurely pulled the trigger. My C&C order is ready for pickup but I'm having doubts. The lack of backlit keyboard is a major deal breaker for me. Went in store but there wasn't any display models. There were 2 other similar Intel models and 1 has backlit but the other didn't.

          Screen has a warmer tone to it. Trying color calibration didn't work.

          I realized these issues coming from Zephyrus G14. Switched from Zephyrus as I was having not good enough battery life and didn't game on it at all

  • Jimbuscus on 08/10/2022 - 21:13

    First thing, turn off Windows S mode, you'll have a short time to do it without paying & you'll have to format it anyway.

    S mode locks all apps outside of the Windows/Microsoft Store. It costs money to unlock it after a very short period from setting up the device.

      AFAIK, there's no charge. Got any links to pages that reference this cost or time period?

      • Jimbuscus on 08/10/2022 - 22:43

        There was a charge, but it looks like it's just for Pro S, But the format part should still be the case.

  • open4highway on 09/10/2022 - 12:33

    To anyone who is still interested, here's my review after 24-hr usage:

    Display: It looks brighter at its max brightness but has a warmer tone to it. Whites look different compared to my Dell S2721D monitor. Not complaining, but the colors feel washed out. Not a bad deal considering the specs.

    Performance: Amazing, running 20-25 chrome tabs and still was able to play Forza 4. The laptop runs smooth. But I'm hoping to upgrade the SSD to a faster one, preferably a Samsung 980 NVMe drive. Current drive is SK Hynix BC711 (which doesn't have a good benchmark.

    In overall, performance is all that I was looking for in a laptop at such a low price. I will upgrade to a faster RAM and SSD hopefully in the black friday sales. But, you're after solid performer, this is it.

    Ports: I'm happy that it has all necessary ports like 2x USBs, 1x USB-C, 1x HDMI and even a SD card reader. No it doesn't support charging via USB-C port. I wish it had one more USB-C port.

    Battery: it has a 40,642 mAh battery. Can't complain about the battery life. I had a Zephyrus G14 with 4-5 hours of battery life. But, since I was not into gaming or video editing, 4-5hrs on a single full charge didn't cut it for me. Compared to that, this laptop has great battery life and I reckon it should serve up to 7-8 hours of usage. I was doing an assignment with 20 tabs open with YT, and till midnight, around 4 hours mark it gone down to 62%. So, pretty good battery.

    Other than these, the laptop doesn't get hot, fans are quiet for normal tasks. CPU load is around 10-20% for what I'm doing (writing reports, assignments, browsing). So, pretty much office apps and chrome.

    I'm quite happy with my purchase. But, typing on this keyboard feels abysmal. I'm using external keyboard 80% of the time, so, a little relieved. But, yeah keyboard, speaker and display are the compromises you're making for solid A+ performance. I'm not sure about the build quality as it's all plastic but I believe you can get a couple of years worth of use out of it easily.

    I'd be happy to test anything or answer any questions.

    Have just purchased for a friend, can confirm very plasticy cheap feeling build. I have never handled such a rattly plasticy sounding laptop keyboard of this degree =P it's an experience. The top/bottom ballancing is awkward, you must hold down the base with one hand (or finger, if you are inherently ninja), while using the other to open the lid/screen.
    Nothing else to complain about, great spec value especially on the cpu + ram.

    Pulled the trigger and bought one after missing out on the Intel NUC M15 Evo laptop from Bing Lee.
    No backlit keyboard but that's fine with me. Keyboard has a different feel than other keyboards and it will take some time to get used to it but it does the job not to mention it has a numerical pad which is handy.
    A breeze to set up and performance seems to be pretty good in the limited time I have used the laptop.
    Fan kicks in for most of the time even when the laptop is idling/not being used.
    Overall, I am happy with the purchase and thanks for posting.

    Can the USB C port support a second display

    I think it’s 5Gbps and hence does not support Display

    Can anyone who purchased this please laptop confirm.
