Q: What is the difference between mobile processor and normal processor, please explain and why mobile processor used in laptops

A: When processors run they generate heat. Lots of heat. Because mobile devices are considerably smaller than computers, the heat generated by a running mobile processor is often amplified and can seriously harm components, or even melt them. Therefore, the developers and designers of the devices limit, or throttle, the speed at which a mobile processor can run. This means that if a processor is getting hot, it will limit its speed, which equates to slower performance. Because of this throttling, the processor on many phones will actually run slower than the advertised speed. In fact, the advertised speed of mobile processors is normally the maximum. Compare this to most computer processors, where the advertised speed is usually the average running speed, and you begin to see why computers are more powerful. The second big difference is connected with performance. If you take a computer and compare it to a mobile device with the same speed of processor, the computer will usually be able to do more. This is because the processor is limited in what it can do by the other hardware components, like the RAM, Graphics Processing Unit, etc. Computers have more space, so they can fit more advanced components, and are consequently able to do more. That being said, processor and other mobile technology is advancing at a blistering pace and it is highly likely that mobile hardware will continue to increase in overall power, and eventually be able to compete more effectively with larger computers.

Q: What is the battery life?

A: During regular use (atom, sublime text, python, ruby, javascript, chrome with 50 tabs), I get a good 8 hours. I'm not sure what the battery would be like if I were streaming video for a full charge, but I have easily gone a whole day of regular use without charging. I just opened it from being asleep for 5 days from the previous charge and I still have about 80% battery. HP's site boasts 12 hours, and I'd say that's close enough to accurate for me. There were reports of terrible battery performance on a different model, but the 13-ae011dx has been great to me.

Q: Where is the biometrics on this computer??

A: Thank you for your question! The Fingerprint scanner is located on the right side of the laptop near the USB-C ports!

Q: Which Intel Core I7 comes with this product? I am looking for a laptop with the newest 8550 processor.

A: This laptop comes with the 8th Gen Intel® Core™ i7-8550U mobile processor.

Q: How many ports does it have and what are they? (I see many new models with only one - looking like a usb-c. - this is confused by calling it a Thunderbolt type 3)

A: 2 USB C which they call Thunderbolt 1 standard USB 1 SD card reader phone jack I haven't found anything that connects to USB 3 yet so its only good for the power in jack

Q: is the memory up-gradable and if so what is the maximum

A: No, The memory is soldered onto the motherboard. You can however purchase the 8gb, or 16gb version. 8GB version with the i7-8550u processor runs very very good!

Q: The laptop comes with a pen and a sleeve or just with a pen?

A: The laptop comes with a very nice sleeve that protects the computer nicely when I am out and about. The pen also comes with the laptop, I have not utilized the pen much but my son loves it and stated it was an excellent choice.

Q: Doesit have international warranty? If yes what is the duration?

A: Yes, it has a one-year international warranty.
