HP Spectre x360 Convertible 2-in-1 Laptop: Finish work on time with this HP Spectre x360 convertible laptop. An Intel Core i7 processor and 16GB of RAM handle multiple office programs effortlessly, while the 522GB SSD and 32GB of Intel Optane memory offer ample media storage and rapid OS boots. This HP Spectre x360 convertible laptop has an NVIDIA GeForce MX330 graphics card, which renders detailed visuals on the 15.6-inch 4K touchscreen.
Q: Is this laptop compatible with the oculus rift s?
A: The Best Buy Chat Agent told me it was compatible, twice. So I ended up purchasing this model. I specifically asked if the graphics card met the requirements. Now that I have it, I see there isn't even the required DisplayPort. Way to go, Chat Agent!
A: The specs will run the software you are asking about. The question is how big are the files and how much memory do you consume on a regular basis? For example on my desktop I run a AutoCad several drawings at once, lots of excel files, Adobe, and other typical software so I really use my 32Gb of memory. When I move to the Spectra I can't open as much because it has 16GB of memory, plenty on a laptop for me. If you are using under 16GB now this should handle it fine. The other thing you might think about is resolution. 4K in 15 inches is amazing but with that comes small print, menus, etc. Auto scaling is better now days but I would look at someone who runs your software on a 15in 4K and make sure that the auto scaling in that software is handled well. Beautiful screen with bad auto scaling in the software = frustrated user. Hope this helps.
Q: I'm going to use this for Zoom meetings. How are the speakers and is there a built-in microphone?
A: I have a similar model. HP support and other forums have many posts of the internal array mic not working with Zoom (and other online and offline applications). User after user reports trying the standard solutions of updating drives, running the trouble shooter, checking privacy settings, etc. etc., with no actual solution in sight for many frustrated owners. In addition to this, the x360 models seem to have video issues (same thing, connecting to basic apps such as Zoom). For such an expensive computer, it's pretty frustrating to have constant issues with audio and video and not much in the way of support on the forums (most people just copy and paste standard troubleshooting responses without bothering to read the OP or consider the fact that if hundreds of people have the issue, it's probably not something specific to the user at hand). If you get a Spectre or probably any HP, I guess make sure to get the extended support, but from what I've read on forums, their solution is to send the unit back lol. Maybe a bunch of us do just have defective ones. Who knows.
Q: Does this come with the stylus/pen?
A: yes, it does.
A: This model does not have the OLED screen, it has a WLED backlight display.
A: It only fits MicroSD cards - not full-sized (regular) SD cards.
A: My son got this computer a few weeks back. He hasn't mentioned the heat, but he has mentioned the crackling noise from the speakers though. My kids other gaming computers always seem to run warm though so I think this isn't necessarily out of the ordinary
Q: Is the RAM expandable on this laptop?
A: It looks like the RAM on this computer is "surface mounted" and not expandable
