Gentlemen.
This build's USB C supposedly supports a DP 1.4 data stream, meaning 4K60 RGB + HDR is in the cards (theoretically).

I’ve been using HP Envy’s for the past 5 years. Great laptop. At the moment I’m using the intel 10th gen version of this with the same specs.
It’s amazing as a work / office laptop and can do video rendering or AutoCAD etc without lag.
Has some cons like the graphics card not being able to run any games and certain glitches that come with each model, ie the fan turning on as soon as you plug it in.
Feel free to ask me any questions.

I ordered one and cancelled my Flex 14 order. I might even cancel this one if I can get the higher version. Do we have more info about whether this one's ram can be upgraded? If not, I got 90 days to return lol

The cable and charger are required to support USB-PD. This means that the cable is a type-c to type-c cable.smirnoff wrote: ↑ I'm not up to date with laptop tech. So this can charge through a USB-C cable just like my phone? Would it charge with any power plug that you can plug a USB into? I'm just thinking of it for when I'm overseas. Like it would be nice to just travel with a usb-c cable and pick up a cheap usb A/C plug, rather than lugging around a barrel-style cord and ac adapter, plus an extra adapter for a whatever prong style a country uses.
USB-PD is the standardized charging protocol that is now required to be supported with all new android phones released with Android Pie or newer. This is the same protocol used in the MacBooks type-c chargers and cables.
The ideal wattage would be 65W, but it is possible to charge with a 45W, etc.

The best setup is to use with newer usbc monitor, one cable does video/audio and charging. These monitors are still relatively expensive but they come with usbc cable can do up to 100w pd and 10gbps bandwidth for DP video and audio, cable itself is expensive if buy aloneExpliciate wrote: ↑ The cable and charger are required to support USB-PD.

Okay thanks for the breakdown. I think I've got it now. As long as I can get a 10ft cable for an okay price I'll be happy.Expliciate wrote: ↑ The cable and charger are required to support USB-PD. This means that the cable is a type-c to type-c cable.

It's not just about the number of keys on the keyboard, it's about the key layout and sizes. Whenever you want to use Shift or Enter and see that dreadful "\" showing up. Even worse, it's different from every other keyboard you could find and use. There is no chance you can get used to this layout.

Most people dislike bilingual because they assume it with be ISO layout, with the odd enter key shape.jeffgao wrote: ↑ It's not just about the number of keys on the keyboard, it's about the key layout and sizes.

This HP laptop uses bilingual ANSI layout.

It will look similar to the bilingual spectre x360:

That's too bad, would've bought this tomorrow if it had extra slots and a better graphics cardExpliciate wrote: ↑ It has a single M.2 NVMe SSD slot that is used by the primary drive.
It uses an integrated Vega 6 iGPU.

Would this be better than the Surface combo at Costco?

The Microsoft is better on portability, screen, weight, build quality, and possibly even component reliability.
The Surface devices are the closest thing to Macbook / iPad hybrids among PC laptops.
