2021 HP 15.6" Thin Laptop, Intel N4020,

what's up blogger how goes it another day another blog in today's blog we're having a look at the hp laptop no really that's literally what hbs have to call this guy it's just called the hp laptop 15 inch now with that being said it does have a model number for this particular configuration we've got intel's latest 11th generation core i5 quad-core processor 8 gigabytes of ddr4 ram intel's integrated iris xc graphics of course a rather spacious 500 gb solid state drive we also have the latest wi-fi and Bluetooth standards on board and this is a hd plus display meaning it's slightly above 720p now i played around this laptop for a couple of days and i have a pretty strong opinion and a pretty good review lined up for you guys and i think you seriously might want to watch it before buying this computer because there are a bunch of caveats to consider with all that said guys if you do enjoy this blog consider

it means a ton to me helps me grow and 

provide more quality content for you guys let's get started starting with the unboxing itself as you can see this is a pretty generic looking cardboard box with the hp branding not a whole lot to see honestly once you remove the content seal itself inside you'll find a number of items first and foremost of course the laptop itself in this nice metallic silver color but we'll come back to that in a second beyond that of course you have a 45 watt charging adapter cable it is proprietary and no this laptop does not support usbc charging unfortunately you also have the wall outlet cable and of course your usual instruction manual quick charge guide warranty practice and best compliance information so you know the fun stuff coming back to the laptop design look guys i gotta be pretty honest with you i've reviewed a number of mid-range laptops in 2021 now and i have to say of all the ones you reviewed this hp laptop is by far the least appealing to me at least in terms of design the minute you hold this thing it feels cheap and flimsy it doesn't feel like it's high quality tpu rather it feels like it was literally mass manufactured as quickly as possible in a factory which of course is the case now one good thing is because it's a full heart tpu build this only weighs 3.7 pounds if you are planning on carrying this laptop around for long periods of time it'll do just fine in that regards starting off with the top side of the laptop right away you can see there's this nice metallic silver color it's a full hard tpu finish no textures it's pretty smooth which i can appreciate also in between you have the hp logo which has a nice reflective mirror-like surface in between this is probably the most premium looking part of this laptop as we make our way to the side of the laptop you've got a decent amount of i o ports they're more or less in line with industry standards for most mid-range laptops on one side you've got the dc jack and two usb 3.0 ports you make your way to the other side you have a hdmi port you have a usb c port you also have a headphone jack and a sd card reader which is good if you're going to be sharing a lot of media now when we make our way to the bottom side it's pretty standard stuff you've got a hard tpu shell a large passive air intake vent and you do have rubber grips to make sure the laptop stays in place but not much else to see as we unfold the laptop i have to say the chassis has a nice metallic finish and a design that actually looks pleasant to the eyes as far as palm rest space goes it's decent it's not the most i've seen on a 15-inch laptop but it's not bad either the trackpad is where things get pretty interesting this kind of seems like an ultra wide trackpad so what i mean is that it's super long in its length but it's pretty short in terms of its width so depending on the task you're doing you may find this somewhat intrusive now as far as the trackpad quality goes hp really dropped the ball here the trackpad feels cheap and flimsy if you click on any particular corner nearly half the trackpad literally lifts up the surface is made of plastic which in itself is not a bad thing but just the overall position of the crack pad is really poorly done over here i hate to be the bearer bad news but it doesn't get much better when you make your way to the keyboard now while the keys are nice and large in terms of the surface area they again feel cheap flimsy and loose when you press on any particular key it feels like it's really loosely in place while key travel is decent there's little to no tactile feedback type fast enough and you feel like you're typing on a really bad quality rubber dome keyboard on top of that is no backlighting which is shameful almost every mid-range laptop in this price range actually offers backlighting this is the first laptop of some of the blonde in this price range where there is no backlighting whatsoever thankfully you do have the inclusion of a 10 keypad also all the traditional media keys are integrated with the functional keys and yes you do have a dedicated power button beyond the keyboard itself you can see you have a pretty large speaker grille now we will be doing a detailed sound test later on in the video so stay tuned for that also you can see that this is a single tier hinge and i have to be honest it's not a bad hinge in terms of overall quality it does wobble a little bit but nothing too dramatic unfortunately like a lot of laptops the way this hinge is designed if you actually open the laptop from the

corner of the lid you will put enormous drain on the hinge and you may potentially damage in the long term just be wary of that as far as the display fitting is concerned i have to say that this is more or less in line with 2021 standard so you have a pretty thin chin on the bottom and you can see that the bezels on the side are pretty thin as well and more or less again like i said aligned with what competitors offer now you do have a 720p webcam that isn't anything impressive but it's not any worse than what you'll find in other laptops either let's talk about the display look i really don't want to pick on hp any more than i already have in terms of this laptop but this display is just a genuinely sad story for beginners hp only offers a hd plus display over here resolution of 1366 by 768 basically looks like a glorified minecraft screen also you have a peak brightness of 250 nits now this isn't the worst i've seen on mid-range laptops it's gonna do fine as far as most indoor lighting scenarios goes but you cannot use this thing in direct sunlight and you'll have a pretty hard time using it in any sort of indirect sunlight as well so keep that in mind on top of that you only have a color rating of 45 ntsc the screen looks washed out i would not recommend this display for any sort of color intensive activities like photo editing or color grading and in general the viewing angles are quite literally horrendous so if you're looking at this laptop from anything beyond let's say a couple of degrees from the center you start noticing the white fade out coming pretty quickly overall i have to say guys it's sad because there's competitors like the acer swift three that cost the exact same price as this laptop and they offer a decent quality 1080p display now i'm not expecting a top-notch display but a little nice to actually see a full hd display considering that this is a mid-range laptop if there is one saving grace for this laptop it has to be its performance which is more or less in line with the competition so that core i5 processor can definitely handle its own and that eight gigabytes of ram is more than enough in most day-to-day scenarios if you're doing daily tasks like web browsing watching some netflix doing word processing or anything of that nature you'll generally find that this laptop will breeze right through it even if you're doing more moderately cup..
