Late to the party, but this is a great review. I've just used the 16" version for nearly 8 months and apart from the incredible display and best keyboard I've ever used on a laptop. Everything else was fairly underwhelming for the pretty hefty price here in Australia. Flipping it over to use as a tablet feels incredibly awkward and your keyboard and touchpad are fully exposed underneath it. Just asking for scratches or damage to them... note, no pen, and no braided power cord in the Australian version also. Returned mine as the left hinge continually misaligned itself with general use even after repair/replacement (just standard opening and closing on desk) gotta say HP service is incredible though.
I wish Samsung weren't obsessed with 16:9. Then HP would be forced to improve the Spectre (maybe). I've only heard good things about the Galaxy Book 2 Pro 360 (what is with the naming scheme? smh) but the aspect ratio holds it back, which is bizarre because Samsung started distributing the 2.8k 90Hz OLED panels for other laptop manufacturers months before their Galaxy Book refresh.
@@JustJoshTech i just ordered the spectre 13.5 inch should i cancel and get a m2 air i mainly got the spectre for the oled screen got it on sale for $1,249.99 at Bestbuy the m2 air is $999.99 at Best Buy right now ?
There should be an option in the control panel that tells the laptop what to do when the lid is closed. It is strange through, since laptops by default usually have it set to sleep when lid is closed.
I watched this again, and found the recommendation that people buy a Macbook Air instead of this odd, even apart from the fact the Macbook Air isn't a convertible (which I commented on already). The Air is certainly better for *some* people, but there are advantages and disadvantages to each. My wife and I use this Spectre and an M2 Air, and although the Air is a good laptop, the HP is *way* better for academic work (reading, writing, editing, annotating, note-taking) and media consumption. Its advantages include a much better display (OLED, HDR, higher definition), better display ratio for work, being touch and stylus enabled, being convertible, having Thunderbolt 4 ports, a Type-A port, and an SD card reader, a much better keyboard, a better camera (5MP with auto frame, ring light, lighting correction, camera switch, and microphone switch), facial login, better wifi and Bluetooth, less heat, and a better OS for multitasking. It's hard to see how all that is outweighed for *most* people by . . . longer battery life?
The MOST important point is that it is right for you. For many people they would prefer longer battery life and less heat and fan noise. Apple gives that to them. But if the Spectre is what's better for your use case! That is what matters to me :)
Subbed. I looked at Dell and HP before I bought from Lenovo, for some reason they're significantly more expensive than Lenovo here in Canada, so I thought I'd share my experience after a month with the latest gen Lenovo Yoga 7i 16 inch with 12700H + Intel ARC A370M GPU. Straight off the bat you get a 100W power supply which is needed for the H+370 to run at optimal speed. Lenovo's intelligent cooling has been fantastic as well as decent passive cooling, the fans won't turn on on at all in best efficiency mode even when using my pro stylus on a huge canvas. I did start looking for a U series solution but you tend to get stiffed on the other components like RAM and SSD speed, sometimes even chassis quality, so I took a chance on the H + ARC, I'm an Apple refugee, forced to migrate fully to windows after 35 years of perma Apple eco nonsense, this Yoga easily trades punches with the best of Apple's products I've used over three decades, that includes two 15 inch Macbook Pros and a G4 17 inch which was a brick, both 15s were heat sinks and would often burn my nuts if using on my lap. Now for anyone who thinks the grass is greener on the other side, it's not, there are numerous issues with the new Apple silicon and MacOS is a shadow of it's former greatness, you'll get gouged for what is going to be a short term gain, Intel's gen 14 architecture will be very similar to Apple's as they are moving part of their chip production to TSMC who's 3-4nm wafers are used by everyone including Apple, ARM, Nvidia and AMD. Apple's brief period of brute force supremacy is going to be very short lived as they license technology from ARM of which Microsoft are now putting in some of their laptops, the personal computer landscape is about to change drastically, brute force is done, we'll have power efficient monsters that generate no heat in slim form chassis' from all manufacturers. Don't jump now unless you have to for work or specific applications. But we can all thank Apple for firing the first shot, Intel didn't plan to do this until the end of the decade.
ARM is soon going to be old news too. With the restrictions ARM is considering on members regarding custom GPUs, I think RISC-V will be the next big thing, as it's RISC but completely open.
is it worth it to buy leveno yoga 7i (your mentioned model). I cannot find any discount on canada website but there is a 44% discount on usa website. I am confused about intel arc gpu. does it handle AAA games well ? would like to know your experience
Thank you for your honest review! How does this compare with Lenovo yoga 9i? Which has more battery life vs performance? Could you do a comparison please?
Thanks for this review. It helped me decide on getting an excellent condition HP Spectre x360 16-f0013dx (11th gen i7 H series) for $350. I have not confirmed if the sleep issue exists.
I have the same spectre 14 from last year with the rose gold frames on the laptop with a 1195G7. I noticed the cpu ramps up rapidly in idle that is due to HP's bogus background apps that came pre-installed. To solve this problem, I did a fresh install of Windows on the SSD with an external windows usb image (not re-install windows with the built-in recovery on windows as it will just re-use the image that came from HP factory). Thereafter, I installed the essential apps after, such as all the drivers needed for the laptop as installed after a windows update, manual update the bios, and essential apps such as HP command centre, Hp display control etc. Every other app that was not useful I did not install and it solved my problem of the fans ramping up. This is also a problem on all HP laptops as I used to own a HP 14s laptop and it just ramps up the fans unreasonably because of the background apps run on windows that were pre-installed by HP. It seriously hinder performance both on idle and during workload and decreases battery life otherwise would be longer. Having said this, usual customers do not have to do this. I did this because I come from a background of building desktop pc and I know what the essential apps ans softwares are for running a windows system and no customers have to go through this. Althogh this does fix my problem of sudden burst of cpu usage because HP had pre-installed bad apps that will trigger sudden fan spinning during low or idle use. I can then silently and confidently use the HP spectre x360 14 in court rooms to record transcripts because I know the fact that the laptop are functioning without bogus apps.
Any chance you could reccomend a video tutorial how to do this? 🤣 If can optimise my laptop in any way I can I will but also don't want to risk messing it up and making an embarrassing trip to a repair shop 💀
after reinstalling windows, don't install anything but do a windows update and follow its reboot until all your drivers are up to date. Repeat until windows update says your computer is up to date and no drivers update shows up on windows update.
Can I also suggest that you note up front that for windows laptop anything above 1080p with 60HZ has a direct impact on battery life which is why manufactures don't change it (unless you are Apple of course 😀) and is a deliberate decision by manufacturers.
It's beyond ridiculous that a $14+ billion company with decades of experience in the market can't even get something as simple as putting the laptop to sleep when you close it right. It's pathetic shit like that which drives people to a company like Apple who can consistently get the basics right. It's an absolute shame how lousy the competition is in the laptop market when it comes to build quality. Year after year there are countless quality control issues on $1000+ laptops from both Dell and HP.
"...And the underside gets HOT!" - I'll pass. Any thoughts on the HP Envy x360 13.3" Intel 12th gen? I hate they only offer the Silver model. The Space Blue looks really nice
Also could you do a thin and light laptops of the year that you recommend. Also please do 13 to 15 inch laptops because idk if i wanna go from 15 to 13 inches lol i read alot of pdfs on the screen
great video! I too have the same issues with my laptop that stays on after closing the lid. this issue started overnight and have updated all drivers/firmware with no luck. Curious if others had this issue fixed?
The screen gives you the impression that you are looking at an old newspaper where the image is made up of dots. I don't know how it is praised since you have the impression that you are using a monitor from the 80s. And the colors are too sharp and the youtube clips are affected by the red color too much.
I want to get the HP spectre x360 16 12th gen. And I am wondering if the intel arc a370m is good for my personal tasks such as college / microsoft word, excel, powerpoint work. Searching the web with 5 to 10 tabs open. Watching youtube, nextflix etc all day. Maybe some light video editing and basic entry level coding. Would this laptop get it done??
Honestly, I think the consensus is that the 12th Gen Intel chips were overall just very bad for fan noise and chassis heat for most of the mainstream laptops. Would love to see an updated review with the 13th Gen Chip for the HP Specter line.
It's very strange to recommend a Macbook over this, as you can't write on a Macbook screen. Why assume people looking at getting a 2-in-1 with a stylus don't actually need or want one and would be better off with a non-touch clamshell? It's like recommending that people who want or need a bicycle buy a Macbook instead.
@@JustJoshTech For what it's worth, I'm an academic and got one of these recently; like many academics, I spend a lot of time reading PDFs and Word documents, and the ability to highlight and make notes with a stylus is amazing, especially as in portrait tablet mode the display is close to A4. We also have to print, sign, scan, and return a lot of forms for various things, and just filling out the forms with a stylus instead saves a lot of time. Thanks for the video, very good as always.
All the MacBook owners I know also own an iPad, and I think most have us have sussed out that having two devices, though some may say inconvenient, are better than a compromised single device. Especially as the iPad and Macs compliment each other. I have tried these 2-in-1 and they are too big and awkward as a tablet and make zero sense to me. Add in the lack of great tablet apps and I will stay with my MB and iPad.
Apple make some really good laptops, and I'm not convinced that Macs are so bad that Mac owners generally need to own a tablet as well, especially given how expensive iPads are. People with PCs don't generally need to use a tablet as well, and surely PCs aren't *that* much better than Macs. I also don't see how having to buy and carry around an extra device with you isn't a compromise - it's certainly an expense and hassle I can do without.
Bought one for $1,000 at Best Buy as Openbox and immediately returned it. Fingerprints blossom everywhere; it has an inherently wobbly lid, and an overall awkward design -- high-end but clunky. Most of all, I kept thinking, "This [insert an aspect of the 360] is 90% as good as a Macbook Air." So I went and bought an M1 Air for $850 and returned the HP.
It's so weird to read people complaining about a 2-in-1 laptop, and then settling on a clamshell laptop instead. Like, why did you look into a 2-in-1 in the first place then?
@@lars2894 we can't try new tech and decide that proven refined designs are still best for our use? I write, so the 2-in-1 was a fun gimmick but didn't add value sufficient to switch over.
Windows's modern stand by is fundamentally broken. Even if it sleeps when you close the lid, sooner or later it will wake up again and becomes a grill pan. I want S3 sleep to be back so badly.
Love your reviews - can you do more on the Samsung Galaxy Pro2 (not the 360) in 13inch - I think it is a fantastic laptop for the price, size and performance, it has everything you want for the price
I have a 2020 model, 13-AW2025NA, & don't have an issue at all with video playback or keyboard backlight staying on when you close the lid. Maybe it's only been an issue for the recent models?
@@JustJoshTech Thanks for the reply 😀. I love your reviews. Just a suggestion, do videos like best laptops for work/gaming under some budget (like 800/1000/1500 dollars).
The laptop seems okay but the port placement is horrendous. As soon as I saw those angled ports, I immediately imagined how easy it would be to break those because of those backwards placement.
I disagree saying the super little charger. The super little charger title goes to Huawei laptops. Their laptop chargers are the same size as phone chargers
Please stop comparing the Apple Silicon MacBooks with Windows laptops. One cannot run the other's OS, which already puts the MacBook DoA, and yes, while Asahi Linux is good, it's still not ready.
Don’t forget the MBA M1 that can be had regularly for $850-$899 and will be a way better experience than this. That is unless you have to have windows for some reason.
I just bought a Spectre x360 in Canada after student discount and some sales for a 1190 before tax. I know, crazy deal. Anyway, most of the negatives in this video don't apply to my case as I have an IPS, don't use keyboard backlight as much and have an i5 that doesn't get too warm. So I am a really happy man!
@@earthling_parth i didn't buy an i7 coz it was only available with OLED and I wanted IPS. 12th gen i5 is good enough for me as a business major. Also, I couldn't afford that i7 OLED version as a broke college student
@@earthling_parth the i7 and i5 have same amount of cores only diff being the i7 is slightly better binned and has better clock speed. The i5 is usually the Choi for students
@@aliabdullahrizwan6774 yeah I regularly do being a student. Tbh, not really different from my cousin's 16 inch MacBook pro. The 3:2 aspect ratio helps a ton with vertically oriented stuff. The only time difference is noticeable is when I am viewing horizontally orientated stuff or multiple windows. It took me 2 days to get used to it. I love it. The pen for 2-in-1 is awesome for my math class
Ok, if this is an HP video, then why do you keep on talking about a Mac Book? I don't get it. If you wanted this to be a video about Apple products then you should have titled it as such. I didn't click on the video to hear about a damn Mac Book off and on the whole video. I clicked on it to hear about the HP computer.

Honest Review as always. You covered all the positives & negatives about the laptop. Waiting for review of HP Envy 13.3 OLED (2022).
Good review. Appreciate the info about the ports.
It's a great laptop but it's just not viable as a work laptop with the OLED screen. Teams calls would drain like 33 percent per hour.

@@cameronbosch1213 it looks really odd. 16:10 looks better in my opinion
@@defnotatroll Fair enough. As long as you don't prefer 16:9! 😂
Apple laptops look so better and have that minimalistic look.I wish they didn’t have the notch have thinner symmetrical bezels.
My laptop has not had the sleep problem. I did not get the OLED model though
Hi could you please suggest if this system has a better SSD than M2 . Looking for a coding professional.
Hey Josh, please review Asus Zenbook S13 oled with ryzen 6000 series.
Bro ..your videos are informative but please don't shake your head too much continuously i feel dizzy while watching the video
Are you sure the windows settings in power are set up correctly? There's a special setting in control panel on behavior after closing the lid
We definitely tried this btw
how about hp envy ay1310au ryzen 5600 last year 2021. Is it still worth it?
link for wallpaper? thanks!
Price, where to buy ?
Is there a 15 inch model?
There is a 16
@@JustJoshTech Thanks for the reply 😀. I love your reviews. Just a suggestion, do videos like best laptops for work/gaming under some budget (like 800/1000/1500 dollars).
please review the asus zenbook s13 oled please!!!
The laptop seems okay but the port placement is horrendous. As soon as I saw those angled ports, I immediately imagined how easy it would be to break those because of those backwards placement.
Envy 15 2022 intel version review please
but what about lemons? 🙂
Have you seen my lemons?
*I want my lemons!*
I disagree saying the super little charger. The super little charger title goes to Huawei laptops. Their laptop chargers are the same size as phone chargers
Can you PLEASE do reviews for laptop $600 Or less?
Yes I can. If I don't focus on it this year. Next for sure
I would be very eager if you could also review the HP Envy x360 13.3 OLED. Great work as always!
Josh, i hope you have time money interest and curiosity to review some of the chuwi laptops.
your mum would be proud.
Oh I spoke to them. I woukd like to. Their current range is a little old at this point. I asked them to send me their laptops when they are released
@@JustJoshTech would love your views on them
Please stop comparing the Apple Silicon MacBooks with Windows laptops. One cannot run the other's OS, which already puts the MacBook DoA, and yes, while Asahi Linux is good, it's still not ready.
bro that is not a budget price
HP, The Best!
I'm in the market for a 16" laptop, not a tablet. I wish you had reviewed the 16" model of this laptop.
I am the first one
Your parents must be proud 😒
How is that a problem
Ok
I'm too annoyed by the title of this video to even watch it.
Don’t forget the MBA M1 that can be had regularly for $850-$899 and will be a way better experience than this. That is unless you have to have windows for some reason.
For non-gaming Apple Silicon is the best overall choice for now. Amd and Intel are hitting a dead end.
As a windows user, I'm inclined to agree.
Agreed
@@mistermastermind528 Can't run Linux (and no, Asahi Linux is not ready).
So is Apple Silicon.
@@cameronbosch1213 yeah seriously
I just bought a Spectre x360 in Canada after student discount and some sales for a 1190 before tax. I know, crazy deal.
Anyway, most of the negatives in this video don't apply to my case as I have an IPS, don't use keyboard backlight as much and have an i5 that doesn't get too warm. So I am a really happy man!
At first I thought mind-blowing deal but then I saw i5. For i5 that still is a good deal though if it was CAD 1100
@@earthling_parth i didn't buy an i7 coz it was only available with OLED and I wanted IPS. 12th gen i5 is good enough for me as a business major. Also, I couldn't afford that i7 OLED version as a broke college student
@@earthling_parth the i7 and i5 have same amount of cores only diff being the i7 is slightly better binned and has better clock speed. The i5 is usually the Choi for students
@@tanishchawla3965 Do you read pdfs on your screen? How is the experience in comparison to a bigger 15 inch?
@@aliabdullahrizwan6774 yeah I regularly do being a student. Tbh, not really different from my cousin's 16 inch MacBook pro.
The 3:2 aspect ratio helps a ton with vertically oriented stuff. The only time difference is noticeable is when I am viewing horizontally orientated stuff or multiple windows.
It took me 2 days to get used to it. I love it. The pen for 2-in-1 is awesome for my math class
U talk too much ,
Ok, if this is an HP video, then why do you keep on talking about a Mac Book? I don't get it. If you wanted this to be a video about Apple products then you should have titled it as such. I didn't click on the video to hear about a damn Mac Book off and on the whole video. I clicked on it to hear about the HP computer.
