HP Star Pro 14 evaluation: 13 generation core standard pressure +2.8K ultra-clear screen strength advanced French fries LOGO

When I got the HP Star Book Pro 14 notebook, I even thought I had used the wrong machine. Previously, the circular mirror HP LOGO on the A side actually became the French fries logo, which is a pioneering design language only used in HP Spectre series and ENVY series. Its concise and sharp lines have long been printed in my mind, and now they appear in the new generation of HP Star Book Pro 14 notebooks. Is it a promotion? On second thought, isn't this design just in line with the self-confidence and enterprising spirit of white-collar workers in their fast-paced work and life? The HP Star series, which has always been represented by elegant design and strong performance, has also advanced into the HP Star Book Pro series, growing up with young people in the workplace!

Elegant inheritance, advanced design

The exquisite professionals of generation Z have a high demand for the appearance of notebooks, which is simple without losing their individuality. The brand-new HP star Book Pro 14 is the change of the LOGO of French fries, which will definitely bring them a visual impact that is enough to scream. Such happiness came too suddenly. Not only that, the three-sided metal materials are carefully crafted, and the four fashionable color schemes of moonlight silver, meteorite ash, streamer gold and slightly drunk powder also provide diversified choices for more demanding users. The fuselage is as thin as 16.5mm and as light as 1.4kg, which can show elegance and calmness in cafes, libraries and commuting.

Wi-Fi antenna is built in the top of A-plane, which increases the signal coverage and also plays a decorative role, and has become another landmark of HP Star family. When it comes to detail design, HP Star Book Pro 14 has a "small heel" design for its rotating shaft, with moderate damping. After opening the A side, the rear of the fuselage is slightly raised, which is not only helpful for effective air intake and auxiliary heat dissipation, but also meets the ergonomic requirements and brings a comfortable typing angle.

The C-face of HP Star Book Pro 14, including keyboard, touchpad and hinge, keeps the same color scheme as that of the A-face, and its elegance can be consistent whether it is closed or opened. The key stroke rebound of the key is 1.3mm, and the key distance is 18.4mm, which makes typing comfortable and reduces the possibility of accidental touch. Moreover, the keyboard is equipped with an adjustable backlight design, so that even in a dark environment, the keyboard can be seen at a glance, thus being manipulated like flowing water. This notebook is also equipped with a fingerprint identification module. After opening, you can swipe the quick login desktop, especially in public, which is much safer than entering a password.

Compared with the previous generation products, the touchpad area of HP Star Book Pro 14 has increased by 20%, and it can easily complete multi-finger touch when manipulating, zoom and scroll web pages or documents more freely, and the silky touch experience can easily replace the mouse.

It is worth mentioning that in some versions of HP Star Book Pro 14, there is also an interactive breathing light on the side of the touchpad. Through the cooperation with Hui, the breathing lamps will have different colors, which are very atmospheric.

Keep looking at the design of the fuselage. For young people in the workplace, often copying materials, or connecting a projector during a meeting, the interface of a notebook is definitely a hard demand. No one wants to always wear a "small tail", let alone forget it often. HP Star Book Pro 14 is a "grand slam" in terms of interfaces, and basically all commonly used interfaces are provided. There is a 3.5mm headphone/microphone audio jack, a USB 3.2 Gen 1 interface and a Micro SD slot on the left side of the fuselage, which is very useful for users who often export photos and video materials.

A USB 3.2 Gen 1 interface, an HDMI 2. 1 interface supporting 4K video output, and two full-function USB Type-C 3.2 Gen2 (supporting PD charging and DP display output) are provided on the right side of the fuselage, which can meet the daily connection requirements in terms of types and quantities, such as connecting USB flash drives, Bluetooth receivers, projectors, external monitors, etc.

Stunning 2.8K organic light-emitting diode full-sensing screen

In view of the fact that the work of more professionals is closely related to content creation, HP Book Pro 14 has made great progress in screen. 14 inch 2.8K OLED screen presents amazing visual effects, which not only makes the graphics clearer, but also makes the colors brighter. Moreover, it has a high contrast ratio of 1, 000,000:1,and the picture has a sense of hierarchy. Of course, if you don't need an OLED screen, you can also choose the version of 2.2K IPS ultra-clear screen, and the experience effect can also meet the demand.

It is worth mentioning that this screen also has a high refresh rate of 90Hz, a fast response time of < 1ms, and has passed the dual certification of TUV+Eyesafe low blue light. For users who rely on laptops for a long time, it can effectively relieve eye fatigue and protect eye health.

The organic light-emitting diode screen of HP Starbook Pro 14 also has film-level 100% DCI-P3 color gamut coverage, and HDR 500nits has high dynamic range brightness, which not only meets the color requirements of office and creation, but also can obtain a brighter and more layered immersive visual experience when watching movies.

In the screen standard mode, we measured the screen color gamut with the color calibrator i 1 display Pro Plus. The results show that both sRGB and DCI P3 have reached 100% color gamut coverage. The average δ e value of color accuracy is only 0.38, which is far lower than the standard δ e value of 2 and exceeds many professional display standards.

In terms of efficiency, the screen ratio of HP Star Book Pro 14 is 16: 10, and it is designed with a narrow bezel, accounting for 87% of the screen. You can see more than the screen of 16:9. In addition, the 5-megapixel high-definition camera installed at the top of the screen also has TNR noise reduction function, which can display the video picture more clearly, and can also be used for facial fill light and other effects. In terms of call effect, it is equipped with dual-array AI intelligent noise reduction microphone, which can clearly receive sound even in noisy environment, and the call between the two parties will not be missed.

Hui Xiaowei, an intimate assistant for efficient office entertainment.

ChatGPT, which is popular all over the world recently, makes everyone know AI again, which shows how much we want to liberate our hands. In fact, HP's thin series has long been pre-installed with Hui Xiaowei's intelligent voice assistant. Originally, it can only be realized by intelligent Hui Xiaowei through the interaction between his hands and his notebook, such as listening to songs, news and weather forecast. This can be easily achieved by calling Xiao Wei Xiao Wei, thus freeing your hands.

Hui Xiaohui is definitely more than entertainment. When attending a meeting, we usually take minutes. Traditional handwriting has long been out of date. If you record it, you will waste a lot of time and have a headache. It is much simpler to use Hui's meeting minutes, which can not only be recorded, but also be immediately converted into words with a little modification, and it is not only Chinese, but also supports the translation of multiple languages. If you are watching a video in a foreign language, it is much easier to translate it with subtitles.

In addition, Hui Xiaowei also achieved system-level artificial intelligence control. For example, when watching a movie, if you want to adjust the brightness and volume of the screen, Hui Xiaowei can also help you easily realize it.

The above is the design introduction of HP Starbook Pro 14. The biggest change is the adoption of the French fries logo and the blessing of the organic light-emitting diode screen. As the saying goes, it is necessary to have both face value and strength. How is the performance? Let's continue to look at the hardware configuration.
