- Today's video is sponsored by Intel. I love desktops. They are the bread and butter in terms of what content I make for you guys. But sometimes I need to be mobile. Whether it be getting deals or helping out others, or even testing out mice with other YouTubers, I still need to be connected. I need efficiency. I need speed. I need power. And most importantly, I need portability. So here we have a solution. Meet my new best friend, the HP Spectre, which is an 8th gen Intel Core Processor-based PC. Let's take this thing for a test drive. (energizing music) This thing is a beast. It features an i7-8500Y Intel processor. And in this device, in particular supports 16GB of DDR SO-DIMM RAM built in and has a 500 GB SSD, packed into something smaller than a magazine and lighter than a two-liter bottle of water. This is where the portability factor comes in. I mean, I even built a mini-IGX desktop recently that although has God-like specs in it, I sometimes need to quickly get up and go. And I need something smaller that still has Windows 10 on it for my programs. So the HP Spectre is a perfect fit. It has a touch screen that actually doesn't suck either. I can multi-task two hands with this thing. Or if I find myself in a tighter spot, like an airplane, for example, then I can turn this thing into a tablet where I can still watch all my favorite movies by just simply heading over to the Microsoft Store, downloading Netflix, and away we go. Or if I wanna check out Ozzy Streamers having a crack, then I can do that too. Though given how small this thing actually is, and of course given that it's not a gaming PC, it still doesn't stop me form trying it with a few different games. With the upgraded HD 615 Graphics onboard, it can still do some light gaming on the go. Though if the touchscreen isn't giving me the frags I need, then I can use the Type C USB Converter and still plug in a standard gaming mouse and get some frags. As for the always connected aspect, how do we stay connected to the internet anywhere? Well, here's where the device has an eSIM built in. So you can use this like a mobile phone if you want to, or have it connect to 4G LTE internet with the in-built gigabit LTE adapter. Without having to ever pop a SIM card in, though of course there is still room for a SIM card if your local network providers still don't support eSIM technology yet. For me personally however, I can now do things like my accounting on the go, snap digital receipts with the in-built camera, talk to friends and take business calls via Skype on the fly. Though with all this fancy talk, let's put some of these claims to the test. (calming music) So there it is. Absolutely incredible performance in something that is 6.9 mm thin and is extremely lightweight. This model in particular also has genuine leather integrated into the laptop itself. And the build quality all around is phenomenal. The keyboard and the touchscreen work flawlessly. And I know for business and pleasure on the go, this tool will end up saving me a lot of time and headaches and just make life easier in general. If you want something, or you're like me, crave something that is much faster than a lot of laptops, much smaller than a desktop, and has the best connectivity in the world of any portable device, then all you have to do is ask for 8th gen Intel 4G LTE when you are on the lookout for something like this. And you will now be on your way to a better life without seeing the low-battery-go-connect-me-soon warning. Though, let us know below, in the comments, what you think of laptops in general. I think this is what laptops are supposed to be: small, portable, but still packing a punch. If you wanna know more about laptops with 8th gen Intel inside, then I'll put some links in the description below. And with that aside, I'll catch you in another tech video very soon. Peace out for now. But. (upbeat music)
