HP - Spectre x360 2-in-1 15.6" 4K Ultra HD Touch-Screen Laptop - Intel Core i7 - 16GB Memory - 512GB Solid State Drive - Dark Ash Silver

I have been looking to replace my current laptop and tablet with a capable 2 in 1 device, but was waiting for certain features to standardize before making a purchase. With the newest version of the HP Spectre 15t (8th Gen Intel CPU), I have finally found what I need. The device size offers a perfect combination of portability yet enough screen real estate to get work done. The 4K screen is beautiful by the way, but is glossy so will reflect light. I use a MS Surface Pen, and it works perfectly with OneNote. Ample IO ports including Headphone Jack, Full Size HDMI, SD card reader, 1x standard USB Type A, and 2x Thunderbolt 3 enabled USB Type-C ports. Both ports will charge and provide Thunderbolt3 data speeds, including all 4x PCIe lanes being open so it will work perfectly with an eGPU enclosure for added graphical performance. I am Currently using this as a desktop replacement at work, where 1 USB Type-C cable goes into my dock, and provides power, keyboard, mouse, speakers, and outputs to Dual Displays. The backlit keyboard is excellent and provides a great typing experience. Large track pad feels great and supports Win 10 gestures. Performance wise, this thing rocks. It has the newest 8th Gen Intel CPU with Quad Core support, 16GB od RAM, and a dedicated Nvidia MX150 GPU. While not as powerful graphically as an actual "Gaming Laptop"(nor as bulky) it is way ahead of integrated graphics found of most notebooks. Screen shot attached of a 3DMark benchmark score to compare performance for those interested. Overall I have been very pleased with this laptop, and love the added functionality of the 2 in 1 design.

Right out of the box, this computer is gorgeous. Having used it for a few weeks now, I can confirm that it's not just about looks. It feels very solidly-built. It is very capable in running a number of modern games (although I am not playing anything extremely intensive), as well as heavy web browsing (lots of tabs open simultaneously). The 4K display is beautiful. There were very small issues with scaling in a few programs, but they are fairly simple to resolve, even if it requires signing out/signing in a few times to get it right. And the battery life is great. Even with the power-hungry display, I can use the computer most of the day without needed to plug in. The only thing I wish is that HP made it easier to figure out: 1) where you can get a second charging cable and 2) which active pen styluses work on this computer. (I went into a BestBuy store to test some styluses and ended up getting the Bamboo Ink, which works perfectly with my model.)

I purchased this hybrid 2 in 1 laptop almost 3 years ago in 2017 and it’s still a beast. Top of the line specs still apply such as the memory and intel i7 processing chip which is now in its 10th generation. Powers up ultra fast due to solid state drive. Battery power is manageable under battery saver but could be better on higher end laptops such as this. Great facial recognition software which protects from unauthorized use. Comes with great carrying and storing case which protects the laptop. Overall great purchase and hopefully will continue its amazing usage for many years to come.

The moment you take this laptop in your hands you realize you are holding something extraordinary and expensive, just like jewellery. And provably this is the reason why I keep picking up this laptop in my hands without any reason. Programs open up lightening fast, there is no boot lag, and installation is also a breeze. If you have a lightening fast internet, you will come to know its real might on this machine. This laptop doesnt come with a stylus, so i bought a bamboo ink. The response to thincknes of lines is amazing. Tried a bit of gaming too like CS GO, and it didnt dissappoint. I got it just for 1200 bucks on sale, so its bang on bucks for that rate.

I have the laptop connected to a USB-C hub that connects the cat5, power, two Logitech receivers, and HDMI.Handles those connections just fine off of a single USB-C port. There is an additional USB-C port on the laptop itself. As well as a HDMI port although I am using the one on my USB-C hub in order to only have to unplug one cable on the go. The HDMI is a 60" 4k monitor that I have split into desktops. This system handles it with a breeze.

This product is absolutely amazing. It works much better than expected. I specially love the display as well as the facial recognition protection. Only I am able to get into my computer. Don’t hesitate to purchase this product. You will not be disappointed.

outer of the screen too small so when hold the screen to move the laptop the contend scroll down because its a touch screen. mice pointer is white color and so small difficult to find it on screen. when folding to a tablet the keyboard keys still loose make it difficult to handle the tablet mode. power button should be in diffirent location there are lot of time accidentally turn off laptop when moving it. the 2 USB C so close to each other so when plug in the adapter for USB it cover the other USB C.

Pros: Powerful, long lasting battery, bright and rich screen, keyboard, and tack pad Cons: Left speaker is on the fritz; sometimes it doesn't work at all or sounds like there is a loose connection. Video camera has a purple tint in all but the brightest of rooms. In low light the screen noticeably dims, causing me to manually readjust back. For a flagship HP product I would anticipate better quality. Now I need to figure out how to get these issues resolved under warranty. Not what I would have anticipated a month or so into ownership. Based on Google searches my issues are not rare.
