**AMD's Significant Investment in Laptop Lineup**
Unlike previous years, AMD has decided to heavily invest in their lineup of laptops this year. This move is likely due to the various reasons discussed earlier.
The HP EliteBook 845 G7 is one example of a laptop that takes advantage of AMD's offerings. Not only can it be outfitted with the top-of-the-range Ryzen 7 PRO processors, but it also features HP Sure View, which allows users to prevent others from viewing their screen by pressing a single button. Additionally, it has a redesigned keyboard with a cursor knob and a programmable key.
Other notable features of this laptop include facial recognition support through Windows Hello and a fingerprint sensor, as well as a good selection of ports such as USB-A, two USB-C, and an HDMI port. One of the advantages of using AMD processors is their power efficiency, which allows for up to 26 hours of battery life.
For those looking for something smaller, there's the ProBook X360 435, which is a full convertible design that can be used in tablet mode. This laptop also features an optional second camera that can be used to take photos, videos, and video calls when in tablet mode.
Other laptops from HP include the ProBook 445, which uses an aluminum build for added durability and takes advantage of HP's essential security features to protect against malware and viruses. The ProBook 635 Aero G7 is another example, weighing less than one kilogram and being incredibly portable while also featuring a number of interesting features such as a wide-angle webcam and facial recognition through Windows Hello.
These new AMD-powered laptops demonstrate the company's major strides in recent years and HP's recognition of this by offering a wide lineup of different AMD options. The increased competition between AMD and Intel is likely to benefit consumers, with both companies pushing each other to innovate and improve their products.

WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: en- AMD is winning.So not too long ago,AMD was really relegatedto the bargain bin of laptops.However now,if you wanna buy a high end laptop,Team Red have some of thebest options out there.So when HP reached outand wanted to sponsor a videoon their brand new RyzenMobile 4000 Series Laptops,it seemed like the perfecttime to explore exactlyhow in a matter of just a couple of years,AMD were able to leapfrog Intelnot only the desktop side,but even on the laptop front.Now of course thisvideo is sponsored by HP,but that sponsorship hasno bearing on the factsand how we actually got to this point.So for many years,Intel were absolutely dominant.Intel would bring out a brandnew generation of processors,that would shrink the process nodeto improve that performanceand that efficiencyas well as redesign their course,to give you more and more performance.And this is something thatwe saw for almost a decadestraight,up until just a little while ago.And especially at theend of that kind of run,of just complete and total dominance.AMD were in rough shape.They had some okay desktop chips,but on the laptop side, I mean,they really weren't what you would findin the budget systems andnot much more beyond that.Thankfully AMD didn't waste their timewandering in the wilderness.So back in 2006,they made a very smartdecision by purchasing ATI.The graphics company,therefore giving us AMDradeon graphics as amajor counterpoint to theAMD CPU side of the business.Then, there are a few reasons for this.One of which was to actually sell an APU,which was especially for laptops,a huge deal.Now what this meant was thatthey could sell you a single chipthat would have notonly your AMD CPU cores,but also AMD graphics built into one.Which will you major advantagesin not only performance,but also in power efficiency.Now they were certainlynot the only companyto think about something like this.So Intel had had integratedgraphics for a long time.However, it's only been very recentlythat they actually put major effortinto making those graphics better.And even in the dark days where AMDwas well behind in most categories,at the very least,they did it have bettergraphics than Intel,generally speaking.However, it wasn't untila little ace up the sleevecalled Zen came around,that they really had all the seedsand all the things they neededto potentially catch up andultimately they absolutely did.The advent of Zen,the CPU core inside of a Ryzen processor,was a huge step forward.Essentially, AMD totally jettisonedall of their old schooldesign of their previous CPUs,which put...Frankly just were not competitivein favor of a much more modern processorthat had a lot more performance.But at the same timethat they were making a huge step forward,they had a massive stroke of luck.Intel,well Intel started runninginto some problems.While AMD were able to delivertheir Ryzen processors,the 14 nanometer,then 12and now seven,unfortunately Intel werestuck on 14 nanometerfor a very long time.And that older process nodesimply held everything back.Which leads us to today,where we have hit the very rare timein the PC space,where not only are AMDand Intel competitive,but are a lot of different ways,AMD actually has a majoradvantage right now.So since I have a pretty wide varietyof a Ryzen powered laptops,thanks to HP,I figured it's a perfecttime to really explorejust how far AMD has come.So on the AMD side,I have the HP EliteBook 845,which has the high-end Ryzen 7 Pro 4750U,which features a full eight coresand 16 threads insidethe 15 watt form factoras well as I have the HP ProBook 445,which also has eight coresbut this is with the Ryzen 7 4700U.Over on the Intel side,they actually have recently announcedtheir 11th generation mobile processors.However, as we're recording this video,they're still a little ways outfrom actually being released.So we'll have to wait and seeexactly how they've stack up.But for now I have a coupleof 10th gen laptops available.First of all,I have their slightly older school style,skylight based Core i7-10810U,which actually packs a full six coresand a 15 watt form factor.However, the graphicsas you'll see shortlyare definitely of theolder school variety.On the other hand,we have a Core i7-1065G7 powered laptop,and this has four coresof their new Sunny Cove,10 nanometer based chip.However, while it does it better GPU,as you'll see it is down on CPUcompared to everything elsehere in it's comparison.So it's a little bit of anot mixed up.I don't think that's thebest way of putting it,butit's a little bit morefragmented I suppose,on the Intel side.Because 10th gen doesn't justmean 10th gen at the moment,they're two very differentfamilies of CPUs.The ones that end inU are the older schooland the ones that end in G,either G3, G5 or G7,are the newer 10 nanometer chips,but they're actually as you'll see shortlyhave their own pros and cons.So running through the benchmarks,you can see that AMD prettymuch take a clean victory.So on the CPU front,they have a little bit of an advantageon the single threaded side,but specifically because theyjust have so many more cores,and that same TDP,they're able to really take advantageof multi threading applications,such as video editing,rendering,anything like that.You're going to see anadvantage on the AMD side.Now on the graphic side,it's a little bit more complicated.So,the older school Intel,the 10810U is very muchsort of falling behind here.Now the latest generationIntel 10th gen graphicsare actually pretty decent.But even those pretty decent graphics,can't quite hold a candleto what AMD are able to haveon their Ryzen processors.So yeah, when you look at performance,it is very clear that AMDis not only just caught upbut they've actually takena pretty major step forward.The Book, I am a huge fanof the speeds and feeds.However, great silicone isnothing if you don't put itin great hardware.So that's where HP's brandnew AMD powered lineupreally comes in.Unlike in previous years,AMD has decided forwhat I assume are a lotof the reasons I've just said overto heavily,heavily investin AMD options up and downtheir lineup this year.Now I will say that theseare very much designedfor small businesses andenterprise customers,which means a lot of theselaptops have featuresthat you just simply don't normally see.For example, take the HP EliteBook 845 G7.Now not only can you outfitit with the top of the rangeRyzen 7 PRO processors,but you also have featuressuch as HP Sure View available.So with a single press of a button,I can not only sort ofknock out any kind ofpeeping eyes,if someone wants to seewhat I'm doing on my laptop,but then all I have to do is tap it againand I have full view of my laptop.Especially helpful if you're on likean airplane seat or something.Although unfortunately it's probably nottoo common at the very second.You've also got a redesigned keyboard,which features a cursor knobas well as a programmable keyto launch whatever app you'd like.You also do have,not only facial recognition supportbut also a fingerprintsensor through Windows Hello,and a good selection of ports.Not only a couple of USB-A ports,but also two USB-C,as well as a full site of an HDMI.And of course, one of the advantagesof these new Ryzen processorsis that they are very power-efficient.So you can get up to 26 hoursof battery life on this guyand when it is time to top off,30 minutes of charge willget you 50% battery capacity.Now, if you want somethingto touch smaller,there's the ProBook X360 435.Now as the name applies,this is a full convertible designso you can use it in tablet mode.And now that you have a littlecover for the webcam here,there's also an optional second camerawhich will actually go on the keyboard.Which will give you the abilityto take photos, videos, video calls,all that kind of stuff in tablet mode.Now when you flip it backover to full laptop mode,what you'll see is thiskeyboard is very robust.Something that HP spends a lot of time on,is making sure that you can sanitizethis keyboard multiple times a dayfor a very extended period of time.And you won't have any kind of issueswith it falling apartor like the labeling come off or whatever.It's meant to really be usedin a very sort of2020 kind of way, I guessit'd be the best wayto describe it.Then there's the ProBook 445,which uses an aluminum buildto give you a little bitof that extra durabilityand on top of that,like with these other laptops,it does take advantage ofHP's essential security,which gives you lots of protectionagainst malware and viruses,not only inside the operating systembut even below the hides for things like,your BIOSwill actually be able to self heal itself,if there are any problems.Last but not least,there's the ProBook 635 Aero G7.Now what makes this onespecial is the weight.In less than one kilogram,this is the lightest AMD poweredbusiness laptop out thereand it really goes to show me,this thing is incredibly portable.Now on top of that,you have a number of interesting features,including severaldifferent screen options,including a one wattpanel that will go up to400 units of brightness.There's of course the privacyshield if you want that.And you can even option this outwith 1,000 nit brightness display.Which in layman's term,is really, really bright.On top of that, you havea very wide angle webcam,and you have things like Windows Hello,you have a little coverif you want to cover that webcam up,you have facial recognitionthrough Windows Helloas well as fingerprint.There's a lot going for this laptopin a very, very thin form factor.No matter if you're lookingat desktops or laptopsis clear that AMD has madesome major strides recentlyand prompts to HP for recognizing thatand offering a pretty wide lineupof different AMD optionsinside their devices.Of course, if you're interestedin any of the laptopsI talked about in this video,they will be available atthe link in the description.But if I can leave you with anything,it is this,competition is absolutely a good thing.And now that AMD is reallyon top of their game,it is also pushing Intel tosort of up what they're able to do as welland the end benefit thereis that we all get better stuffs.Which is hard to be upsetwith some of the biggest laptop upgradeswe've seen in many, many years.
