so we're here at CES 2019 and HP has
0:11
brought to the show a couple different
0:12
Chromebooks one that we kind of knew was
0:14
coming and one we had no idea was coming
0:16
so let's take a look at both of those
0:17
but before we get into all that this
0:19
video is brought to you by nordvpn it's
0:21
the VPN of choice for millions of people
0:23
including Chromebook users if you'd like
0:25
to learn more about them and their
0:26
services go to Chrome unbox dcom nordvpn
0:30
to get started today first up let's talk
0:32
about the AMD power devices that HP is
0:35
releasing so along with Acer HP uh are
0:38
going to be the first people to bring
0:40
AMD powered Chromebooks to the market
0:42
and we're talking like late January
0:43
we're going to see these things they're
0:45
going to be powered by either the A4 or
0:46
A6 chip 4 gigs of RAM 32 gigs of
0:49
internal storage a lot of stuff that
0:51
we've talked about before in things like
0:52
Apollo like Chromebooks so we're talking
0:55
uh inexpensive builds and affordability
0:58
as the main priority here here but even
1:01
though we're talking about $269 starting
1:03
price there are some nice things that HP
1:05
has brought to the table here because
1:07
they're getting to save some money when
1:08
it comes to using an AMD chip over an
1:10
Intel chip and so you get the same great
1:12
keyboard deck that we've seen like on
1:13
the Chromebook X2 and on the X360 you're
1:17
getting uh if you go for the 1080p
1:19
screen which we're thinking is going to
1:21
be somewhere around the $300 range if
1:23
you bump up for that one if you get the
1:24
1080p touchcreen on this one the we've
1:27
put them side by side even with uh the
1:29
nicer HP offerings like the X360 and I
1:32
think it's pretty much the same panel or
1:34
something pretty close to it so you're
1:35
getting a really great display if you
1:37
opt for the better one you're getting uh
1:39
great input methods so the trackpad
1:41
feels really good it's spacious and all
1:42
that kind of stuff so even though yeah
1:44
it's all over a plastic build uh I think
1:47
these are going to be pretty compelling
1:49
packages and we ran some benchmarks and
1:50
it's a little bit early still but think
1:53
in terms of with the A6 something a
1:55
notch better than what we're seeing with
1:57
the Apollo Lake chips so with the uh the
1:59
pennium 4200 like is in the Acer 15 uh
2:03
and a little bit better than the 3450
2:05
that we've seen in so many education
2:06
Chromebooks so we're probably talking a
2:08
cheaper price and even better
2:09
performance with some pretty decent uh
2:11
external pieces in the screen and the
2:13
keyboard and the trackpad so uh it seems
2:15
pretty compelling and we we'll hold out
2:17
for further review obviously once we
2:19
have our hands on these and can really
2:20
run them through the paces but the
2:21
devices look pretty good we got a white
2:23
a blue and a gray and it look like they
2:25
can take a beating so I think hp's done
2:27
a pretty good job here with their first
2:28
AMD Chromebook now moving on to the
2:30
other Chromebook that HP brought along
2:32
with them we had no idea this one was
2:34
even in existence at all it is kind of a
2:36
different take on the X360 that we've
2:38
already got our initial Hands-On with
2:40
and the reviews coming but it uh takes
2:43
that device and adds a couple little
2:45
parks to it so we get an all Aluminum
2:47
deck where the keyboard is so that's
2:49
upgraded from plastic on the X360 and
2:52
then we get some better processor
2:53
options and uh some different Ram
2:56
options some different storage options
2:57
HP is aiming this one directly at
2:59
Enterprise customers and they've said uh
3:02
at least at the early going and maybe
3:03
forever this one won't be available in
3:05
consumer channels at all you'd have to
3:07
go through some sort of reseller to get
3:08
it but we're talking uh from a new
3:11
pennium chip that we've not seen in a
3:12
Chromebook all the way up to a core i7
3:14
so that new penum chip is actually what
3:16
they had in the one on the showroom
3:17
floor it is the 4415 U and that's kind
3:21
of like a u series version of the one we
3:23
saw back a couple years ago in the Asus
3:25
C32 that Best Buy sold that we were
3:27
pretty impressed with at the time and
3:29
this one com presses uh similarly so
3:31
we're talking the very low end of this
3:33
device configuration uh getting like
3:35
24,000 on octane so it was performing
3:38
really really well it's got that same
3:39
great 14-in uh full HD panel that the
3:42
X360 has you add on the aluminum 8 gigs
3:45
of RAM uh 64 gigs of internal storage it
3:48
can go up to 128 it can go all the way
3:50
up to a core i7 so an I3 I5 i7 option
3:53
there and all the way up to 16 gigs of
3:56
RAM now we don't know the pricing on
3:57
this and we don't know if we even will
3:59
until these things start showing up in
4:01
those different channels where
4:02
Enterprise customers get their devices
4:05
um so unless you're an Enterprise
4:06
customer I don't even know that this
4:07
Chromebook is going to be one that
4:08
you're going to get your hands on but
4:09
who knows we might end up seeing just
4:11
like with the HP Chromebook 13 G1 that
4:14
it kind of starts in that channel and
4:15
eventually starts leaking out into
4:16
consumer versions but with the X360
4:18
being out there and being so similar and
4:20
just so excellent honestly I don't know
4:22
that we're going to see these at Best
4:23
Buys and Costco and stuff like that but
4:26
it is cool that HP is doing it and it is
4:28
a greatl looking device and I think a
4:29
lot of different corporations are going
4:31
to find some success using it in the
4:33
future but guys that's it for this one
4:35
keep it lock to the channel for
4:36
