This was $1200 a couple of weeks back and then it went to $1099. It just dropped to $999.

This is not the newest core ultra processor, but is this not good enough for most at this price point considering the build quality? I was looking for 32GB RAM, 1TB, 14.5 inch or less. and processor from the latest gen (preferably AMD) but I don't think it can be had for less than $1000. Zenbook came close with intel 155h.

I bought one last week.

Top notch quality materials and very light (2.2 lbs)

Display is bright, keyboard and touch pad are excellent.

Only downside is the HP added bloatware, you can uninstall it.

I totally recommend it for that price, not to mention the 90 days return and 2 years warranty from Costco.

Can you check the battery size? Is it 51 or 68Wh? Also, do you know if they sell these in stores?

1. Did you buy it online or in store? (online and in store models seem to be slightly different based on the most critical review on Costco)
2. Does it have nano sim slot on the left side?
3. Same question as coolcoder - is the battery size 51 or 68Whr?

I have a G2, which is a yoga design. Overall, the quality is very good.
A few minor issues:
the touch screen glass make the laptop top-heavy.
The rubber feet fell off and there is no replacement unless I replace the entire bottom cover.

I bought the store display last month for $899. It is fast. Plenty of updates available from HP as it is a business grade laptop. Down side to me: atter all the updates, the ultraportable is still warm on the bottom even on cooling mode while only watching Youtube.

It's on clearance, most Costco's don't have it in store, you will have to order it online.

How does this compare to the lenovo slim 7i carbon. Seems very similar to each other. The usb-c ports on mine just crapped out and I can't charge it anymore.

That is one of the biggest issues with the Intel 12th and 13th gen processors. They are not very efficient, so to get decent performance out of them, they need to run at high frequencies, which generates a lot of heat.

The problem with most ultrabooks is that they just don't have a way to get rid of that heat, so it ends up burning your lap. That is the biggest reason I am steering clear of this laptop. I just bought an AMD 7840u based HP Pavillion Plus 14" laptop from another deal on SD, and I was shocked at just how cool it runs. It is also reasonably small (3lbs with a 68Wh battery), but it runs considerably cooler than my Intel laptops. Returning it for other reasons (HP's poor fan control, PWM flickering, rattling touchpad), so considered this G4 due to it's weight. I mostly use ultra light laptops on my lap, which makes me want one that doesn't get too hot.

FYI, I did some digging around and it looks like this laptop is not 2.2lbs, but around 2.6lbs, which is a huge difference when you are holding something this light. It will also feel heavier as it is such a small laptop. As a comparison, my LG Gram 15 is only 2.48lbs, and it comes with a 15.6" display and a 80Wh battery.

Here is an excerpt from a review on Costco.com:

"Why not 5 stars? This G4 is supposed to be the same weight at 2.2 lbs, however felt quite heftier. So I weighed them. The G2 is actually 2.4 lbs. and the G4 is 2.6 lbs. Two-tenths of a pound, or 10%, makes a difference since I grip and carry the laptop from room to room with one hand all the time. And it's way off of HP's specification."

And here is a video review that shows the laptop weighing 2.54lbs at the 3:45 mark (https://youtu.be/ZerKPZGZuv0?si=u...3rMl&t=226).

This killed the laptop for me as I was looking at the absolutely lightest laptop in the 13-14" category. The LG Gram Style 14 that I owned in the past had a 14" OLED panel, 72Wh battery, and weighed only 2.2lbs. The X1 Nano is only 2lbs for the non touchscreen version and 2.14lbs for the one with a touchscreen.

Just thought I'd share this in case someone here was considering this laptop due to the 2.2lb weight. That must be the weight for the one that comes with the 51Wh battery and a non-touchscreen display.

Since weight is one of the most important reasons to consider this laptop, I find it very annoying that HP would try to deceive you with the wrong weight.

This is really tempting and I was eyeing this before it dropped another $100, but the 13th gen and the screen resolution were my hesitations. I ordered the Spectre x360 14" for about $200 more from HP on Monday and I'm not necessarily sure that that is a better buy than this, but I would def rather have the newer iGPU and higher-resolution display.

When I played with this at the store, however, it was really nice.
