Today we got the HP Battle 66 fifth generation Ryzen™ version, still silver body, still very recognizable LOGO, this appearance seems to have not changed much of the guy, after getting started, will find that the original interior but there are amazing changes, which have a lot of improvement in endurance and video conference, let's take a look at it.
First of all, its configuration is as follows
Processor: AMD Ryzen™ R5 5265U
Memory: Dual channel memory 16GB DDR4
Hard disk: 512GB PCIe
Screen: 15.6 inches 100% sRGB
Excellent endurance
"Portable, mobile office, endurance", these label words have always been the primary vane for most users when purchasing business books/ thin and light books. Thanks to the excellent power control of the 5000 Series Ryzen™ processor, the 1W low-power battery and the increase in battery capacity, the fifth-generation Battle 66 also maintains a leading position in this level of business in terms of endurance.
We tested using the PC Mark10 in the following test environment:
Battery level: 98%, Battery mode: Balanced, Screen brightness: 50%, Power saving mode off
Endurance testing using the modern office mode of PCMARK 10. The final result is 14 hours and 13 minutes, which can basically meet the needs of the whole day without plugging in the office, and the power can be fully sustained.
In addition, according to the official endorsement, HP Battle 66 Fifth Generation supports fast charging function, and when the battery level is 6%, we connect it to the power supply.
After 30 minutes of charging, the power returned to 51%, using the fragment time to charge the notebook, you can quickly return the blood, and then fight for n hours, which is still very satisfactory to me.
In addition, for me personally, if the laptop battery is less than 40%, I will start screening and turn off any unnecessary software to maximize power savings.
If the battery is less than 20%, it is like a countdown to me, and it is close to the stage of "madness", which will be quite anxious. This time, I also tested this pain point.
I adjusted the Battle 66 V to 40% screen brightness, turned off wifi, Bluetooth, volume, etc., used the Windows default player, and played non-high bitrate local videos. The test time is 17:00, at which point there is 16% of the power left.
At 18:26, nearly an hour and a half of play time, consuming 10% of the power, it seems that the fifth generation of the war 66 can easily solve the problem of most people's power anxiety.
In the face of endless video conferencing, then upgrade the camera
In this era of the epidemic, people's working styles have changed dramatically, and the "explosion" of the place of work without knowing when has increased all kinds of uncertainty in work. Under this environmental factor, what gradually makes everyone adapt is more and more video conferencing. HP also has insight into the new capabilities that need to be possessed in notebooks now, and has found the use needs of many users, which has been strengthened around the "video conferencing" for the fifth generation of the battle 66.
This seemingly "ordinary" camera is the biggest highlight of the fifth generation of the battle 66. The camera features an 88° wide angle and supports ambient light sensing for TNR timing noise reduction. The 88° wide angle allows users to participate in video conferences without deliberately adjusting the computer angle and sitting posture to put their entire face in the camera, including more screen content.

At the same time, it can automatically detect ambient light and adjust it, for example, business people are in a dark environment, HP War 66 fifth generation can rely on this function, in low-light environments can adjust the face light, business people in all kinds of lighting environments can use the intelligent adjustment of facial light function, meetings do not have to hold the computer to run to find a place, adjust the angle.
Can the picture be enriched a little more?
This series of features is one of the richest ones we have seen in the built-in camera model in recent times.
Of course, the increase in the frequency of camera use also increases more potential dangers, so its camera continues the previous generation of automatic physical paddle anti-peeping design, and the camera can be turned off by gently sliding when not in use, effectively protecting user privacy and security.
In addition to the video improvements, the fifth-generation Battle 66 is equipped with dual array microphones with Noise Cancellation Software Intelligent Al Noise Reduction Bi-directional Noise Reduction. At the sound level, it has an AI2.0 noise reduction function, which can filter out the environment and the noise of others speaking in the scene of multi-person meetings, so that the voice of the presenter is clear and loud.
Through visual and auditory improvements, the fifth generation of The Battle 66 brings users a clearer and smoother online meeting, giving more business people a reliable choice.
If the endurance and camera function alone make you greatly impressed, you can only say.... In this way, the fifth generation of the war 66 only exerted half of its strength.
