Sell for $700 with the target audience of it being used as a mostly single cable mode desktop display docked no fan noise device.

Buy this or surface laptop 7??

Please help😅 Never had an OLED but pwm light bulbs are bad for me. Will I be ok with Vivobook S 15 OLED (S5506)? It says flicker free but the more I read about OLED, more it sounds like it's always flickers (fake DC dimming etc). Also I'll never use it at max brightness, most of the time it will be indoors usage, mine 350nits AOC u27p2 is set to like 30% sometimes less

Thanks for this great review. Would you rather get the AMD or Intel version when mostly surfing and editing photos with On1 / Lightroom on vaccation?

Can you advise which one to choose between Acer Swift Go 14 Oled Ultra 7 and Dell Inspiron 14 plus 7440.

How is this laptop for basic editing for videos?

You lost me as soon as you said 300 nits.

I need a laptop for university. I'm going to mainly use it for programming while I'm away from home. Is this a good choice?

These snaps dragon CPUs don’t natively support x86 and x64 programs right? Namely thinking about Steam 👌

Finally I made it to a proper review even if it's for the 14" and not the 16" model. My youtube journey has been dreadful up to this point. Good work!

Hi, I have bought this laptop with specifications CORE I7 13700H, RTX 4060, 1TB, 16GB DDR5 for my design, 3D modeling, and rendering work as it was recommended to me. I wanted to ask if it is normal for the laptop's temperature to range from 50° to 60° during normal use like browsing the web, watching videos, office work, etc. And when I use programs like V-Ray, it reaches more than 90° with the fans at full speed. I have never had a high-end laptop and I don't know if this is normal for a new one. Thank you

Hp was best alternative to mac with spectre & dragonfly lineups...with all the snapdragon hype and aggressive marketing from hp (ferrari & real madrid) expectation were high...& they failed epically...from first row to the last place on the grid.

Finally found the best device that's good to run minesweeper :)

I played with the HP in Bestbuy. It felt cheap and just didn't seem like a premium product at all. Compared to the Surface Laptop and Lenovo, it just kind of seemed like junk. Definitely not the one I'd pick.

Hi, could you please tell me which one of Snapdragon X laptops has the best speakers + oled screen? Probably Surface Pro 11, but it's not a laptop and Surface Laptop 7 doesn't have oled... ;\

Hi Andrew really like my Yoga 9i 2024,got it bout a week ago,went wif the 2.8 k display,n 120 Hz got it on sale from bestbuy,have a great day keep up the excellent work!!

hmm

lol

Setting up my 15" Surface laptop 7, w/X Elite, while I watch this... Microsoft just did it right.

If ask you do is office and web browsing $1200 is still a tall ask.

They killed the Spectre line for this 300 nit 60fps wobbly screen mess. None of these camera effects really need an npu. It’s not ai, it’s Microsoft branding. Thanks for taking a look.

I do not know why HP screwed up. I have the legendary HP Envy 16 with i7 13700H and 16 gb RAM with 1TB SSD and Intel Arc A370M and it is wonderful except the battery life. Their Spectre 14 was SUPERB AS WELL BEING THE NUMBER 1 RECOMMENDATION EVEN AGAINST YOGA 9i. HP went the wrong way now, very disappointed. I won’t buy HP again, Microsoft Surface and Lenovo are the way to go in 5 years time.

IPS display that only gets as bright as 300 nits and Wifi 6E in 2024 when you can do better with HP's competitors is extremely disappointing and a no buy for me in 2024! I don't know what HP was thinking with the HP OmniBook X with Snapdragon X Elite but this one is definitely not a winner in my book and even at the price of $1200. I did like the webcam quality as well as the internal mics, however as well as the excellent battery life. The sound quality out of the internal speakers is okay, but not stellar. Thank you Andrew for your very comprehensive review as always my friend! 👍😁

I liked the second setting on the camera, where your contours became warmer. Awesome microphone, but what a misser with the nits..... Too bad. I just want to thank you so much for your reviews, I am in Canada and picked up my Surface Laptop 7 today. So far all good, your reviews have helped me pick out the new toy.

awesome review

This one looks the least “worth it” compared the other CoPilot+ Snapdragon X debut line of laptops.

Snapdragon X Elite ❤❤

it looks nice , this laptop without touch screen?

No wonder the battery life is great when it sports a max 300 nits display that chugs along at 60 Hz. My, what a let-down. 🙈

The Surface Pro 7 15-inch and Lenovo Yoga 7x seem to be the best of the Snapdragon X Elite laptops.

300 nits on a $1200 machine? Yikes.

Would not touch HP laptops or any other product they handle. Bad warranty backup. Hopeless to deal with. Save your money and go with a company that can offer warranty and service.

What’s your main gripe with the Samsung galaxy edge 4?

no hdmi, only 2 usb :(

no headphone jack, no USB a, no hdmi :(

***CORRECTION*** The WiFi card is slotted in not soldered as I incorrectly mentioned. Sorry for the confusion it may have caused.

Okay pc. Camera and mics are okay. In looking at your view of the internals it appears that the wifi card is slotted in. Is the view of the internals inaccurate or is the wifi card slotted in and not soldered in? Display could be better. Great initial review.

Hey Andrew, I noticed your Cinebench multi-core score for Surface 7 showing 680 but I'm getting 942 on mine (15"). I wonder why our results are so different.

maybe HP was force fed a snapdragon by Microsoft

If I bought a laptop where 10% of software or accessories doesn't work. I would consider that a failure. That will certainly improve with updates but will they come in less than a month or take longer? $1150-1200 is too much for a laptop with average specs that does only basic tasks well.

I can't believe HP actually released this model. That screen is so bad and crazy wobbly, never seen something that bad on a laptop before, couldn't believe it when I was checking it out in BB.

May i knpw willnit be fine for video editing and lightroom editing?

Out of all of the Snapdragon X Elite laptops you have reviewed recently, what would be your favorite? Considering Battery Life, Portability and Screen Size (Bigger being better)

apple has more bassy sound and loud vs hp has bit more on clarity.

Lenovo never dissapoints but this time they really outdone themselves and their direct competitors.

would be good for taking camping in caravan or a rv

My previous laptop had a fingerprint reader. The HP Spectre has a fingerprint reader and the IR camera. You can't immagine how happy I am for that. The IR camera's do not always work and could be frustrating if you have multiple accounts but the fingerprint reader is fast and do always work and gives you much more security. I have enabled both of them. If I'm wearing my glasses this is fantastic. For those that have to choose about this and an other laptop I would give for sure more value to the fingerprint. BTW, none of the laptops I considered had both options, the HP Spectre gives you much more of comfort.

An other reason I took this laptop is Wifi 7 support. This is an other game changer. I work always online , on cloud, on a NAS at home and on a NAS in the office. Whatever ever network you work on the lag is lower when opening and saving files. If you can, then add a Wifi 7 adapter to the ethernet port of your modem. Actually they are a bit expensive but at the end of this year you can find them at reasonable prices.

@andrewmarcdavid After intensive use I can confirm this haptic trackpad is a BOMB ! It's big and it let's you work smoothly on the screen. No more dropping after dragging items on screen. I can't report any typing issue when touching the trackpad as some people wrote on internet. Do not need to liften the palms maybe they changed something in the firmware or it never had this problem.
