I like HP EliteBooks a lot but this company should be shamed, ashamed, and punished in the marketplace for continuing to release products at this resolution. It continues to baffle me that anyone working there thinks this is ok.

They proved it’s possible to address it, but not that it can be done successfully. Do you have sales numbers for those machines? Have you ever seen any in the wild? Me neither.
To HP's credit, they have an alternative for only 30$ more (I dod'nt understand why this is not part of this article):
"the new 6W AMD A6-9220C processor, with 2 cores/2 threads, 1.8GHz base clock/2.7GHz boost clock, and Radeon R5 graphics. It has a 1920x1080 touchscreen display."

Like the announced the Acer, I'm fine with the display but not the SoC. It is too old for the given TDP, low perf.nirolf - Monday, January 7, 2019 - link

Doesn't say if it's VA or S-IPS, so I'm guessing its also TN panel, for maximum ugliness.Brane2 - Sunday, January 6, 2019 - link
Two EXCAVATOR "CORES" ?That's effectively one core end even that looks crappy compared to Zen line cores.
Why do they even bother with that crap ?

Leftover parts? Unused 28nm capacity? Both?
