Performance & Use Experience (Expected)

Strengths / What It Does Well

• The Intel Core Ultra series is newer and includes an NPU (Neural Processing Unit) which helps with AI workloads and accelerations. HP Support

• The Arc 140V integrated GPU is relatively powerful for an integrated solution, good for content creation, light to moderate gaming, and GPU-accelerated tasks.

• 1 TB NVMe SSD with Gen 4 ensures fast storage performance.

• The 2‑in‑1 convertible design gives flexibility (laptop, tablet, tent mode).

• Good port selection, especially inclusion of Thunderbolt 4 + HDMI 2.1 makes it versatile for external displays and docking.

• Decent battery capacity (68 Wh) and fast charging support.

• Sleek and modern design; relatively thin for a 16‑inch convertible.

Potential Weaknesses / Caveats

• RAM is soldered / onboard (i.e. non-upgradable). So 16 GB is what you’ll have for life.

• The 2K IPS display is good, but not as premium as OLED (if that is important to you).

• For heavier GPU loads (e.g. AAA gaming at high fps), the integrated GPU will have limitations compared to discrete GPUs in gaming laptops.

• Weight of ~1.88 kg is not ultra‑light; carrying it all day may feel noticeable.

• Convertible hinges can be a weak point over time, so durability of hinge is something to watch (common concern for many 2‑in‑1 devices).

• Depending on the region, wireless (Wi-Fi 7) support might vary.

Value, Price & Suitability

• In Pakistan, the listed price for this model is ~ Rs. 264,900 from Acom.pk. Acom Distributors

• Other retailers show similar pricing in the ~ Rs. 270,000 range. Galaxy+1

• Given the hardware, the laptop offers strong specs for general productivity, creative workloads, software development, etc.

So is it a good choice? It depends on your use case:

• If your main tasks are productivity apps, coding, design, light video/photo editing, and you like the flexibility of a 2‑in‑1, this is a solid option.

• If your use is gaming, 3D rendering, or workloads needing heavy GPU horsepower, you might find it limiting compared to a machine with a dedicated GPU.

• Because the RAM is non-upgradable, make sure 16 GB is enough for your future demands.

• Check the build quality (especially hinges) and see in person if possible before purchase.
