Great review. Just ordered one of these, can't wait till it arrives. Had to gift my last HP, it just wouldn't wear out or break even after hauling it around the planet several times...unbelievable build quality for the price....but i need to look at something new to look at and lighter.

I bought this laptop in April of 2018. I use it daily with DJing software & to manage my music files. Great for the price ($230 refurbished on Amazon) I love all the features. When I'm home I use the display port to hdmi on my TV & work with that because the display isn't that great but it's decent enough. It's tough reading the font on some things off the dj software but it's not a big deal. My son even tried playing roblox on it & he was amazed on how great the game played.

Yeah there's flex in the screen, but I'm reaming on it really hard. As for the appearance of flex in the keyboard, it's more likely that's the table flexing. Trust me, this thing is built like a rock. - Linus

Currently using one atm. It's a good laptop. mine could use a new screen "small chip in in" The battery needs replaced too.

I am just drooling over this. I would love one!

Just bought this laptop after watching this video. Found one on ebay with the hd+ display and 180gb ssd for less than 600. As someone who found no use for touchscreen on a laptop but loves long battery life, replaceable and expandable battery, this is my dream machine.

I want to buy this laptop, how are you finding the brightness of the screen? is it a big issue?

@EddieMoney16

+Hents McGee The screen is matte and has good brightness. I was using it under florescent light with no problem. My biggest issue with this laptop and also the only reason I sold it was the terrible viewing angles. If you just tilt your head up and down a little bit the screen literally becomes unviewable. At this time, I wouldn't recommend getting this laptop as there are much more better options.

I'm using one right now fully maxed out and it's still a great little laptop. Mine needs a new battery but other than that everything else works fine.

Bought this for $275 on Amazon certified refurbished. Came with Windows 10 pro, core i5, 180 SSD, 16 gb of ram (mistake on their end, it should have came with 8 gb). I replaced the battery with the 3rd party unit. I am pretty satisfied. Blazing fast with 16 gb memory. I wish the screen was a little better but I can't complain at this price point.

Very convincing. It is very thorough and to the point.

good video Linus. Don't sweat the interference. Just do your best bud. You ARE my favorite source(s) of tech. ( your own tech tips channel also of course included) \m/

still using 3 of this atm, all of them is still in a great shape, considering the age. one of them running windows 10 pro + 16GB RAM + 128GB mSATA drive with 1TB HDD and runs like a champ. pretty good for a light mobile laptop, too bad the battery wont las longer than 5 hours even in new shape.

Great video. What year did that laptop come out on the market?

They did it in phases. A lot of people got it a while back but then switched back, some just had it all the time. It was so they could test it without rolling it out fully.

Did I miss something? What are the specs of the laptop?

Let me know how that goes in another year. At least if you charge the laptop at least a couple of times per week. Meaning you are using the laptop for several hours per day.

I know you mentioned this before, but you really need to work on that interference! Turn down the lights a bit too... Thanks Linus!

I had this red layout 1 week ago, then it changed back to the old gray one and now its this new red one

its d same for me.... wots changed?

These are really cheap now. I might pick one up.

hey Linus, why are the videos that have been popping up on the NCIX channel so bright? are you planning on fixing that? or is it just me?

I have this as my work pc for the last 2 months and the ssd shot craps today. it worked great and rebooted and the hd could not be seen by the bios. I took it out and it is a crap no name brand and could not be seen on any other pc for data recovery. I called hp and they are sending me a whole new pc so at least the support is good, don't get me wrong I love the pc and every laptop I have bought in the past 7 years has been hp so don't think I am bashing them

I don't think you got what I said. They are cheap because they are cheap, not because they are bad. I am talking about brand name batteries from the laptop maker itself. Not some knock offs. How would you replace that older PowerBook from Apple if the battery wasn't user replacable? What happens after the 3 years? When it is most likely the battery to require the replacement? Having batteries NOT being user replaceable is bad for the customer. (same for hard drive and a bit less for RAM)

I for one welcome the changes, though some changes should be made for the new UI to make it "as good" as the old one. Some things are still lacking, but an overall good user experience.

If it's the garage set, it looks good! :D

Something wrong with your mic Linus?

love the bloopers at the end of your vids :D no touch screen ?? :/

i don't see any changes???

There must be an app for that...

Thanks bro. But my budget is low, that's why I'm trying to buy old one.

I love notebook keyboards, in fact I bought my Logitech Illuminated keyboard purely because it's very similar to a laptop keyboard :P not great for gaming but I love the short key travel and quietness.

The keyboard DID flex, and quite much too! @ 6:25

Would have been nice to know how easy or not it is to replace hard drive and RAM. Maybe next time.

Erm, most of the ones you'd consider swapping them in within the next few years have replaceable batteries already. They stopped making them user replaceable (which isn't actually true, they can be replaced, they're just not covered if you do it yourself, so out of warranty it really doesn't matter if you do it yourself anyway) in 2010. It really isn't an issue in any way. I wouldn't buy a cheap battery for any laptop, even if it wasn't a Mac so the price is fairly irrelevant.

Can you do a sound test for this.. Mine seems to be low volume

Was apple the ones that started the glass touchpad trend?

"No flex at all"- pushes keyboard halfway into the notebook. It's not a bad laptop, but it's still an HP :P

I usually buy refurbished from physical stores (so I can theoretically drop by) with an online store, that provide new windows 10 install and 1yr warranty. I even bought 2 eventually, one for my wife and one for me. My experiences with the 9470m refurbished in 2017: - price starts about $/€ 250 for one with hdd, I paid €300 for version with 8GB ram and 256GB SSD, try buying a new lightweight business HP with these specs! - this is probably the cheapest way to buy an ultraportable HP with milspec quality, the chassis is still sturdy as hell - Graphics is fully supported under win10 (always check that), from perspective of cpu/gpu it holds up good enough - the top lid has a high quality sticker to cover wear, no issue for me, looks good, even has a cutout for the HP logo - original 2013 battery has about 2 to 3.5 hours of battery life left in it. New HP stock is around €100. Maybe I at one point will buy no-name for €60 but usually these don’t perform as well. - The intel 62xx centrino wifi cards are a pain!!! Intel forums show I’m not the only one, dropouts are common, intel driver updates aren’t helpful, downgrading is next to impossible and their update software is miserable. It is possible to swap them out but turning off b/g/n so it only does 802.11b/g helped in my laptops. - the rubber feet fall off, I left it like that, not sure if I can attach new ones. - I like the non-glare screen but be aware these can seem less bright than shiny screens and have a worse viewing angle. hope this helps!

You can buy a display port to HDMI cable. Amazon sells them for about 12 USD.

I don't know much about laptops. But i haven't seen any other laptop that can offer 2 GTX 680M's in SLI and pack 3 SSD's in RAID 0.

Smart for them to include both licenses. Windows 8 is a no go for now for non touch PCs

The Elitebook would have been on my shortlist with many outstanding features ( display port, replaceable battery, build quality, 16GB RAM max memory, Ethernet, 3 USB 3) were it not for the following 2 problems: - Ultra low res. When will PC makers understand that even business users value Hi Def and that at the very least full HD is expected? - Non touch. The time is right for a touch experience, why not offer the option?

Not that it matters now but I dropped a like anyway. RIP ncix

Yes

Sounds like they need to re-assess their cooling strategies. I'm still baffled that any notebook maker is using bottom-fed airflow as opposed to side drawn. Where do most people have their laptops? On their laps, beds, couches, etc. I know so many people who end up suffocating their notebooks and end up with damaged hardware. It could be that the reason most of them were HP/Compaq is because they're some of the most popular notebooks.

one of the only things that is bad about the folio is that they use a single band wireless NIC. Our guy that does the technology purchases bought about 200 or so of these for our business and when we were going to try to use it with our 5Ghz only wireless, i wouldn't pick it up because it uses 2.4Ghz only.

That's the whole laptop moving.

I think it is USB 2.0 because there is on connection in the from of the USB and its black not blue

This is a common theme among many recent HP computers.

This laptop may be old but Im thinking of selling my elitebook 8540w to get one of these.

I couldn't really hear what you were saying at the end if the video, it was too dark in there.

WOW! New KZread!

Worst for me is they got rid of the thing that shows previous videos right above the video.

You can buy it second hand for a cheap prize. It's 2020 and it's fast enough for most (non gaming) people.

Is it just me or is the audio screwed up?

this is my second laptop.

My 2010 MacBook Pro retains 95% of its charge still. This is one of the things you pay for with a Mac, which most people completely ignore when they look at the prices. They last. In the same period my sister and all of my friends who don't use Macs have replaced their battery at least once, and they're still in the same "it only last 30 mins at the most" boat they were in before replacing it. These are official Dell/HP/Sony/Acer batteries too. They're just crap.

Why are the dislike bars grey now? Did youtube run out of red pixels?
