Q: How long is the battery life?

A: The specs say 12 hrs, but it is a little less (10 hr) with constant minor use like typing or web searching. It is a lot less if streaming movies or YouTube videos. More like 6 hours. It recharges very fast, though. 1/4 charge in 20 min. Full charge in 1 hr. It takes a little more time to charge if using it. This is still the longest battery life I have seen in real world use of a laptop.

Q: The specs list several ports (No. of USB 3.0 Type A Ports: 1; No. of USB 3.1 Type C Ports: 4; No. of Thunderbolt 3 Ports: 2 = 7 total), but I can only see 1 USB 3.0 Type A & two that look like USB-C. Where are the others?

A: According to HP, these are the ports on this laptop: 1 headphone/microphone combo; 2 Thunderbolt 3 (Data transfer up to 40 Gb/s signaling rate, Power Delivery, DP1.2, HP Sleep and Charge); 1 USB 3.1 Gen 2 (HP Sleep and Charge); and 2 USB 3.1 Type-C Gen 2. Here are the specifications from HP: https://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c06213882

Q: Does this laptop have the one-touch button privacy screen?

A: No, it does not. There are other configurations that do, but the configuration with the 4K screen does not. I actually bought the HP Spectre with the integrated privacy screen before I purchased the HP Spectre with 4K from Best Buy. I returned that laptop because the screen seemed oddly dim at the highest resolution that it came with the privacy screen which was 1920 x 1080. According to a program that I was running, the resolution didn't even reach 1920 x 1080, and that was without the privacy screen even being turned on. I called HP and I was told that the privacy screen, whether on or off, could inhibit the resolution to be as good as it should. Then he said I should probably get a different one with a higher resolution if it didn't reach my standards. So I returned it and got the one with 4K from Best buy. Best technological decision I've ever made. I freaking love this laptop.

Q: Does this include the stylus?

A: Yes, it comes with a stylus and leather sleeve.

Q: Does anybody know whether the keyboard brightness is variable they used to only be on or off, but I would like to dim the keyboard at times thank you

A: The keyboard backlighting is turned on or off using the f5 key and there are two levels of brightness that it cycles through.
