Q: The model that is on sale this week for $599--does it require activation?

A: I purchased at Best Buy and did not need to purchase a Verizon contract. I have T Mobile. I removed the Verizon SIM and installed a pay as you go SIM from T Mobile. It recognized my T Mobile SIM, but I have not purchased and data to test out completely. It does pick up the signal and says T Mobile so I do not see a problem with it working.

Q: Are the RAM and/or Solid State Drive upgradeable?

A: Good question. The RAM and SSD are not upgradeable on this model. I hope this helps.

Q: How can you connect this to other monitors via HDMI (converter or is there a port already on the computer)? Thanks

A: Good question. This computer does not have an HDMI port. It comes with 2 USB-C ports. You can use a USB-C to HDMI adapter to make it connect via HDMI. I hope this helps.

Q: solid state

A: Good question. SSDs provide extra security, boots up your computer faster and opens programs faster than a traditional hard drive, and they run more quietly. For a more detailed discussion on SSDs and a traditional hard drive (HDD), please visit the following link: http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2404259,00.asp I hope this helps!

Q: Does this model (Hp spectre x2 2 in 1) come with backlit keyboard

A: Yes, the keyboard is backlit.

Q: Which Windows 10 does it have? Home? Pro? 32 bit? 64 bit?

A: Good question. This laptop has Windows 10 Home 64-bit. I hope this helps.

Q: What is the wifi that comes with this laptop ?

A: This laptop has AC WiFi and you can also get 4G LTE on the go with Verizon. I hope this helps.

Q: Can you use any USB-C to HDMI port to connect to a TV?

A: Yes, you can connect this to a TV.

Great Productivity Tool!
I am very happy with me decision to purchase my new HP Spectre. I needed a laptop / tablet for business and after an exhaustive search I decided to go with the Spectre. It's a much better deal than the Microsoft Surface. I like the keyboard better than the Surface, and I love the fact that it comes with a Verizon SIM card. The Verizon pre-pay service is great! Sometimes faster than WiFi. I did notice that it sometimes has a hard time connecting to my Microsoft Wireless Display adapter. I also wish the speakers were louder. Overall a great deal!

Great simple device
I don't know what's not to like. Windows 10...amazing, Intel M-Core processors...sufficient, Hp sturdy stamped aluminum design....GREAT and Amazing. My 3 year has already dropped it down a hill at the zoo and all it got was a little dink in a corner and of course a few scratches, but it's a PCI-E SSD M.2 drive so no worries about glitches or losing data as on an standard HDD. Super fast and supportive for games. I still play WoW on this thing with better performance than my AMD with Radeon graphics, yes my AMD is 6 years old, but keep in mind this is just an M-core processor. Thank you Intel for stepping up your GPU Game. So who ever says M-core isn't enough is way wrong. Yes the Battery life isn't 9 or 10 hours but I get a steady 7 - 8 hours of normal daily use. Color is great, camera is great. Pen support is amazing. I love the pen response and draw capability. It is even able to read cursive and translate to print, but that's another Windows 10 feature. Kick stand IMO is better than the surface. I use it as a handle all he time which it doesn't recommend, but It works...lol! Type-c ports are 3.0 and super fast in data transfer. 3.0 only works if whatever is connected is 3.0 as well. If it is 2.0 you will only see 2.0 data transfer. Only down side is that I can't seem to get Bang and Olufsen to work on external speakers. It only works on the built in speakers. :-( Wi-Fi signal is super strong. Oh yeah and backlit keyboard comes standard. If you can get the M5 or M7 go for it, but I love my M3 Spectre x2. I take it everywhere and use it daily.

Best lower cost alternative to a surface pro 4.
Lets be real, people are probably cross shopping this with the Surface Pro 4. They are possibly thinking that they want a surface pro 4 but can't afford it or can't justify spending so much for one device. With that said, even that this is a lower priced alternative it hits all of the main points and is truly a great value. The keyboard is great and has speakers in it... best of all, its INCLUDED. The kickstand is useful because you can hold it in many different ways. The battery life is great and no fans needed so it operates silently. Performance is actually quite good and this has the same CPU and Ram as the cheapest surface pro 4. There are some negatives... the large bezels and heavier weight (not by much). The resolution is lower than the SP4 but that can be a positive because it taxes the CPU/GPU less and saves some battery life. The ports are USB C (not the typical rectangle A port) and although this is the future, most people aren't there yet and most people use type A... at least HP includes a dongle (Unlike apple who charges you for one). The Spectre X2 manages to offer a "Surface-esque" product built with the same attention to detail and luxury at a fraction of the cost. Do yourself a favor and take a look at the Spectre x2 when you are cross shopping the competition, you may end up like me and find something that checks all of the boxes and costs hundreds less.
