Specs were great fit for me. battery life seems fine. It is light weight and quite thin. Very compact. I seems to run a bit hot when kept on lap. Fan is not loud most of the time. When I took it out of the box it had several scratches on. The top is not very sturdy and even though it is matte it is a finger print magnet. Overall it is a very nice laptop for a daily user.

Intro: After searching for a perfect laptop this fell into my lap. This may just have everything I want or need. In the box: HP Spectre x360 laptop, Power adaptor, Case, Instructions and Manual. Appearance: The HP Spectre x360 convertible has a beautiful design. It is a piece of art because it is well designed with quality in mind. I know it can easily out do or go toe to toe with any of the top competitors. Setup: The Spectre x360 comes charged so you can just power it on and start your setup. It is about 10 minutes for a complete setup. Performance: The Spectre x360 is a 8th generation Intel Core i7 processor and 256GB drive. This is a powerful laptop and it already have the windows 10 installed. I can do anything that I want from quick web browsing to working on a project. I continue finding new features as I dig in. It transform from a laptop to a tablet now how cool is that. This is touchscreen so the possibilities continues with this 13.3 Spectre. The touchscreen is smudge resistant because after using it my screen is still looking great. Everything seems easy to locate and if you are having trouble finding something you can always ask Cortana. Price: It might feel like it’s expensive but you get what you pay for in this case. If you spend the same amount with something equivalent in price you will not get the features and power that this have. Most of the competitors are still not using i7 processor. Features to like: Facial log on, laptop to tablet, Bang & Olufsen speakers, Backlit keyboard. Closing: I love this laptop and I cannot say anything negative about it. Everyone have their own expectations but I will suggest giving the Spectre x360 convertible a test drive. I do not think you will take it back or have any remorse after knowing how good it is. This feels good while handling it and right underneath your fingertips you have a powerful HP x360 that help you get just about anything done.

I recently received the HP Spectre x360 laptop. Below are my thoughts. Design: This has to be the coolest looking 2-in-1 laptops on the market. The silver finish and sharp edges makes this a slick polished looking computer. The hinge design on the display works pretty well but I do wish it was a littler stiffer to not allow as much movement. Another thing I like is how thin the computer is. It measures 12.03 x 8.58 x 0.54-inches making it the thinnest and lightest 2-in-1 computers on the market. Display: The 13.3-inch full HD display is bright and colorful and looks fantastic. I really like the thin bezels around the screen. Performance: The Core i7 processor and 8gb of ram makes the computer fly. Multitasking and watching movies was a breeze. The computer comes with an intel HD graphics card that gives you decent gaming capabilities. It's definitely not ideal for full time gaming. Battery life has been fantastic on this computer. I'm averaging about 8 hours using the computer during the day for work related activities. Audio: I love the quad speaker setup by Bang & Olufsen. It delivers crisp and clear sound. Keyboard/touchpad: Keyboard is well designed and works very well. The touchpad is a very good size but I noticed that there was not a left or right mouse buttons. That is a huge bummer. Overall this is a great computer with an excellent design, screen, and performance.

Overall this is a decent little computer. The size is good if you're looking for something small to carry with you or hold comfortably while you work. The screen folds smoothly and rotates automatically when you change positions. It seems stable when positioned in an inverted V as well. However, when you pick it up in the traditional position the screen is prone to folding back which makes me worry about how well the screen will retain the ability to stand up straight over time. The fan is quiet and unobtrusive. The keyboard will light up, but isn't excessively bright, which is helpful when I'm working in the dark with someone trying to sleep. I miss having a number pad, but there isn't room and to include it the keys would have to be uncomfortably small. As it is, the keys are a good size. The mouse pad has a good feel and is responsive, but has no buttons which makes scrolling difficult without using the touch screen. I find it awkward to go between the two. Having directional arrows helps. The touch screen is a nice feature for when you are using it in an inverted V, or as a tablet. It's very reflective (as you would expect of a tablet), so there's a glare on it at all times. I like the metallic feel. It gives it the impression that you are holding something of substantial quality despite its comfortable size and weight. The software is very familiar to me as I have another computer with Windows 10. It does include some bloatware; mostly games. The sound isn't great. It is workable, but has a tinny quality, even with the bass turned all the way up. I would recommend headphones for anyone doing a lot of listening, or anyone who needs good quality sound.

I purchased this computer on Jan 30th 2018 and am writing the review on Jan 16th 2021, so almost exactly 3 years of daily use. I have used this computer for school and it worked excellently. The battery life is great, it runs the programs very smooth, and it is extremely lightweight and portable. After school it transitioned entirely into a work unit. No highly intensive programs, but I typically have between 15-25 tabs open all at once, including google services, a property management program for hotels, several email tabs, and various 3rd party websites, and it handles them seamlessly. The screen resolution and speakers are great as well, though I never got much use out of folding it into a 'tablet' or using the pen. I'm going to list every single issue this device has given me in the last 3 years- 2 weeks ago it froze for the first and only time so far, resulting in me turning it off and on again and it working fine. About a week ago the speakers stopped working dependably. Headphones and blutooth are fine, but the built in speakers will be working one moment and then cut out the next. I am not sure if this is a software issue or hardware, but I was sure to update all of my drivers and its still giving me issues. The rubber stoppers on the bottom of the computer started peeling off around 6 months ago and one came off entirely. Super glue seems to fix the issue but I am all out at the moment. Shortly after the first year of ownership, one of the fans stopped working, resulting in the computer's safety features kicking in to protect the rest of the computer and shutting it off to keep it from overheating. 1 year is of course the standard warranty with purchase, but they allow you to purchase the extended warranty for an additional year if you purchase it within the 2nd year. It begins at the end of the first year standard warranty. I purchased the extended warranty, sent it off, and when it came back I didn't have another problem until the speakers and the 1 time it froze up on me. That is every single issue I have experienced in 3 years of ownership with this unit, which I think bodes well as my experience has been that non Apple computers tend to only last around 2 years. It has slipped off my bed a few times without breaking (18in drop to the floor) and I regularly carry it around in my backpack, so while I won't say that its highly durable, it is durable enough to withstand light bumps and daily wear and tear for years. Its battery life is still good enough to watch Fantastic Beasts completely through and still have gas left in the tank. It does get pretty hot when watching netflix or otherwise streaming, but its heat dispersion designs seem to work extremely well. All in all, as it still runs extremely smooth after 3 years of ownership, I am very happy with the device and would absolutely recommend it to others. I love the combination of battery, screen quality, and a sleek slim easy to manage size, coupled with how reliable it has been. I am probably going to purchase a new HP Spectre model to replace this one in the near future, but for an average of $600/year for the life of the device, you definitely get what you pay for with this machine.
