I haven't purchased a computer (aside from my phone) in years. I did a fair amount of research before deciding on this one. Pricey but worth it!

I was long long over due for an upgrade and I already had a HP Envy from 4 yes ago and it was time for something new and fast and the New HP Spectre x360 is amazing. It's start up is like 5 seconds which is the fastest I've seen... And it's super light weight which is great.

I am generally pleased with my purchase. Battery life was an issue as noted by several reviewers before I purchased. Needed to do a BIOS update and that increased life from about 6 hrs. to 10-11. Just keep the BIOS update in mind. I am not much of a tablet person, but bought this to have the option available. I bought the i7 processor because I do a lot of math heavy work and have multiple proprietary analytical programs open simultaneously and this unit has worked well under those conditions. I would have preferred to have a 1 TB SSD drive available, as it is I may have to upgrade to a 1 TB in the near future. Lack of 1 TB option is a definite negative for this computer given all of the other superior features. Screen clarity is great. USB 3 ports seem well powered, I have a Tron 4 port USB 3 hub (non powered) and have been able to plug in 2 SSD drives the hub and have both readable and fast for data transfer (I haven't tried transfer between the 2 external drives, however). There were reviewers complaining about excessive heat when running on battery power, I have not notice that, although I am not running games or video which would really put a load on the battery. I bought a couple of after market 45 Watt power supplies to use when traveling and have had not issues. The battery recharge is quite rapid, but I can pretty much be on battery power all day at a meeting without running out of power. One final remark about something I discovered by chance; I have a 125 Watt hour portable battery that I used with my older computers when traveling. It is sold by Power-U, but I have seen similar units from other vendors. Anyway non of the tips that came with this unit were going to fit the much small plug-in on the HP 360 Spectre. I thought I would have to invest in a new external battery, just to have the comfort level of spare power. While looking for an affordable external battery I found the Lizone AC Power cord charger Laptop adapter tip connector converter that works with one of tips from my old external battery and allows me to continue to use the old unit. I found this on Amazon. So for $10 I saved the cost of $100 external battery. Only other issue I have is that Windows 10 is a chore to get accustomed to from Win 7 and the whole tablet centered universe is not what I normally use. Also be prepared to switch to Microsoft Edge because Explorer 11, while it works on this computer, is not optimized for this computer. Edge also takes some getting accustomed to. Also like every other new computer there is a lot of bloat ware, you just need to purge all of that garbage and get down to the basic unit.
