News Summary

HP and Dell have disabled built-in HEVC (High Efficiency Video Coding) hardware decode support on some of their latest laptops, despite the presence of integrated decoding support in the processors. This decision affects multiple business notebook models from both brands, including HP’s ProBook 460 G11, ProBook 465 G11, and EliteBook 665 G11, as well as certain Dell laptops. While HP has disclosed this change in their product datasheets, Dell has not explicitly mentioned it in product descriptions, leading to some user confusion. Users have reported issues with video streaming and system performance due to this disabling, as HEVC support is crucial for modern video playback.
