The video reviews an HP 15-inch laptop, highlighting its design, features, and performance. The laptop is praised for being lightweight at 1.5 kilograms and having a compact charger. It features a 15.6-inch Full HD screen, an Intel i7 13th gen processor, 16GB of RAM, and a 512GB SSD. The TN screen, though clear from direct views, darkens at angles. The sturdy keyboard and roomy trackpad, despite its plasticky feel, enhance usability. The laptop leverages Intel Iris XE graphics, offering efficient performance for everyday use but limited gaming and engineering applications.
Detailed insights into the laptop's components reveal its power-efficient design, including a Samsung SSD (MZ VL 4512) and Realtek RTL 8852 Wi-Fi 6 adapter. Benchmark tests demonstrate respectable CPU performance, both with and without the charger, and solid SSD speeds. Speaker tests confirm clear audio, though lacking in bass. Priced at $850, the device offers good value, outperforming typical models in this price range, despite some drawbacks such as the older screen technology and limited vertical trackpad functionality. Overall, the laptop is deemed suitable for a range of medium-level tasks including office work, travel, and gaming.

In this part of the video, the presenter introduces an HP 15-inch laptop received for review from a friend. They begin by examining the laptop’s ports: the right side has a charging port and a USB port, the left side includes another USB port, HDMI, a USB Type-C port (not Thunderbolt), and a headphone jack. The laptop weighs around 1.5 kilograms, making it relatively light for its size.
The video then discusses the small, lightweight charger that comes with the laptop, highlighting its unusually compact size compared to typical chargers reviewed on the channel.
Opening the device, the presenter reveals a 15.6-inch Full HD screen with a 16:9 aspect ratio and a full keyboard. The laptop features an Intel i7 processor with an Iris onboard GPU, which is beneficial for energy saving. The power button is located above the backspace key. The presenter notes that the device is inexpensive, promising to discuss the price later in the video.

In this segment, the reviewer discusses a device’s TN screen, noting that while it works fine directly in front, it becomes dark from different angles, which is typical for TN screens. They then commend the full HP keyboard for its separated keycaps and pleasant typing experience, despite its old design and oddly placed start button. The trackpad is described as large, plasticky, and usable only in certain orientations. Specs-wise, the device features a powerful and power-efficient Intel i7 13th gen CPU suitable for most tasks except heavy engineering, and 16GB RAM, though limited to 3200 MHz, potentially not utilizing DDR5.

In this segment of the video, the speaker discusses the specifications and performance of the device. The device uses DDR3 speeds for its RAM, which is adequate for this type of device. It includes a Samsung SSD, identified as model MZ VL 4512, and a Realtek RTL 8852 Wi-Fi adapter supporting Wi-Fi 6 (802.1ax) with PCI adapter capabilities. The GPU is an Intel Iris XC graphics unit, noted for its power efficiency and usefulness for basic gaming and tasks.
The speaker then tests the device’s speakers, noting that although they lack significant bass, they are loud and clear.
Next, the SSD benchmark results are shared: the read speed is 3611 MB/s, which is considered very good, and the write speed is 2500 MB/s, which is average.

In this segment of the video, the speaker discusses the performance benchmarks of a laptop’s CPU and GPU. They start by running a CPU benchmark test without the charger connected, resulting in a single-core score of 1715 and a multi-core score of 6344, both considered good. They then compare these results to a benchmark with the charger connected, where the single-core score slightly increases to 1790 and the multi-core score to 6896, indicating minimal performance difference with the charger. This implies the laptop performs well even without the charger. Lastly, the speaker moves on to testing the GPU, specifically the Intel Iris XE Graphics, mentioning the fans’ quiet operation during the test.

In this part of the video, the speaker reviews a device with a CL score of 528, suggesting it is moderately capable for gaming. The device features an i7 13th gen processor, 16 GB of RAM, a 512 GB SSD, a 15.6-inch display, and a three-year onsite warranty, all priced at $850. Typically, this price range only includes devices with lower specs, like an i3 processor with 8 GB RAM and 256 GB storage. The speaker highlights the device’s suitability for medium-level tasks, including office work, gaming, travel, and student use. The only drawbacks mentioned are the old technology of the screen and the limited functionality of the trackpad when used vertically. Overall, the speaker finds the device to be a good value.
