960 grams, the weight of my backpack. It's also the weight of an HP Star 13 Air thin and light version of the Ryzen™ Edition.
Although I have been getting this machine for a few days, I still remember the feeling when I first got started: it was "light", and I could lift it with two fingers. At that time, I thought that if I could have this computer when I was in college, I would probably travel to and from my dormitory and library a little more.
But holding such a light computer, I can't help but wonder: can its performance really beat? Curious, I embarked on a two-week experience.
Lightweight office
As an editor, my day-to-day work doesn't really involve much of the big software.
To the company to browse the news information, it is inevitable to open many tabs, less than 10+, more than 30+, but at this time the star 13 Air light and thin book, the fan is only slightly rotating, calm as water, put the ear close to hear the three-phase motor rotation sound.
Whenever a new product arrives, the drawing and post-production work are also an important part of the article. The Star 13 Air is thin and light enough to meet my daily retouching work.
When entering the stage of writing the manuscript, WeChat, web pages, documents, and PS are all hanging in the background and are on standby at any time. The AMD Ryzen™ 7 5800U mobile processor, combined with dual-channel 16GB of memory as standard, withstands multiple tasks simultaneously.
Usually at this time, I also connect an external monitor. The moment my old notebook was plugged on the outer screen, the fan would immediately whistling and struggling. This time plugged in the star 13 Air thin and light book, even if the external large screen is still quiet.
Video browsing
This 2.5K screen of the Star 13 Air is thin and light, with delicate graphics and brilliant colors. The screen has reached a high color gamut of 100% sRGB, which is especially important when dealing with the task of retouching, and whether the color is accurate in the later stage is closely related to the reader's experience when watching on mobile phones and computers.
The screen of the Star 13 Air light and thin book has a very accurate color tuning, and you can see the real color of the world as soon as you open the screen, which is the first step for the creator to fully display his ideas, and there is no room for deviation.
With a 16:10 screen ratio, the 13.3-inch screen gives a larger screen view visually, and it is also suitable for watching movies.
With the DC dimming without strobes, I prefer to read and work on this screen, which is also a thoughtful design that takes into account the needs of students and business people reading documents and browsing the Web.
It boasts a brightness of up to 400 nits to maintain a clear display outdoors in sunny weather. Sometimes I want to catch my breath and work in the company's small garden, and I can see every word on the screen with my back to the light.
Moderate entertainment
After experiencing the retouching work, I can't help but start to think about further testing, can the star 13 Air light and thin book without a unique display be used to play games?
I downloaded "Hades", which won this year's GDC Game of the Year Award, and played it for a while, the playing experience at the highest quality was not bad, and then I used it to play twice when my hands itched, and there was no problem in solving the problem.
For reference, I also played the national online game "League of Legends", in the 2K resolution + full special effects mode, the Star 13 Air light and thin instinct to stabilize the frame rate of about 110, more than enough to play.
"Wen can write a manuscript to watch blockbusters, Wu can repair pictures and play games", the Star 13 Air light and thin book did it.

It also supports 65W PD fast charge, charging to 50% in half an hour. Even if it is a long-distance business trip, I only need to bring a PD charger to charge the mobile phone and computer, and I have to say that in recent years, after the popularization of the C port, it has saved consumers a lot of burdens.
At the same time, it has enough interfaces to ensure its versatility, I can take one less docking station when I travel, and the user experience adds one point.
The appearance of my star 13 Air is a streamer gold color, which does not look tacky. The overall line is stylish and smooth, and the HP logo on the A side is the appropriate embellishment.
I've been on several trips this month with the Star 13 Air, which is ready to handle my work and play needs in terms of performance, battery life, and versatility. In the past, in order to achieve lightweight, the thin and light costs often made compromises in some places.
Thankfully, the star 13 Air didn't compromise on its own in order to achieve lightness.
In the end, the impact on the direction of the user's purchase decision is still the price, the star 13 Air light and thin with a lightweight fuselage of 960 grams to capture people's hearts, and then with more than 5,000 yuan of pricing to capture the wallet, HP this set of combination cards, play just right.
