QuestionThe color is "ash silver" but some say ash copper or ash bronze or black/gold. I thought the Spectre series of computers has only 2 colors: ash silver and silver. How would describe the color the shiny metallic bits on this ash silver model?
Asked 9 years ago by Arby.
- Answer There are 2 finishes to the Spectre x360. One is called Natural Silver which is what regular silver looks like. The other color is Ash Silver/Copper. The Ash Silver/Copper model is the one that looks dark brown with a copper colored metal finish. I hope this helps.

QuestionIs there any way to get this laptop with Windows 10 Pro vs. Home, or do I just need to upgrade to Pro when I get the computer?
Asked 9 years ago by maddog.
- Answer Be sure to uninstall McAfee as it will not allow the upgrade. I spent 16hrs with Microsoft and HP support, they had me do a clean install which killed the touch screen and I had to return the unit and order another one.

QuestionIs there any difference between this model and the ash silver model 13-4195dx
Asked 9 years ago by Joe.
- Answer Joe, There is a HUGE difference! The one you're looking at has only 8GB memory compared to the 16GBs, & 256 GB SSD compared to 512 GB. For another $150, you could get double the memory and speed. Also note that, if you'd like, you have a color choice between ash silver and ash gold. But note that if you choose the ash gold color, it will need to be ordered through Best Buy --- mine only took less than a week to come in, and I am truly happy with my purchase. I hope this helps! Best wishes!

QuestionFinally! so glad i seen this before i bought!!! when can i get it? i've asked everywhere.
Asked 9 years ago by Jordan.
- Answer purchased mine on 9/28/16 at HP website with consultation from HP on phone. They were very helpful and saved me $250 due to it being on sale, this was something I knew nothing about. I also purchased 3 ye extended warranty after research. Their warranty is less expensive than BB and covers accidental damage and tech support.

QuestionWill any current user let me know what the real-world battery life of the product is? (Web-surfing+Microsoft Office Use)
Asked 9 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer Hey, We recently bought this laptop and we noticed that the battery stays good for 5+ hours. This I believe is when we use the laptop for light to medium applications. When I use some SW applications which are CPU and memory heavy especially related to big data analytics, youtube videos etc. the battery stays good for < 3 hours. But I think it's really a decent battery. I had used other laptops from other vendors where the battery does not hold charge for that long. For now I am really happy with this laptop as it's light weight but extremely powerful.

QuestionHow does the HP Spectre compare to the MacBook Air by Apple in memory, speed and power?
Asked 9 years ago by KKBTSG.
- Answer I just returned the imac pro with Retina display. There is simply no comparison to the Spectre 360. The imac is seriously underpowered and is much slower than the HP. The imac has less memory and is more money than the HP. These are just a few of the differences.

QuestionWhich Stylus pen will work on this laptop? I have tried bamboo and the surface pro pen and these do not work.
Asked 8 years ago by Wilmie.
- Answer While you can use your fingers to control the screen, great for zooming in or just general browsing or watching videos. No matter which stylus you use with these types of touchscreens you will not get accurate input. I wouldn't recommend using this laptop or other similar touchscreens for handwriting or drawing with a stylus. In order to get accurate input, you need to use a touchscreen specifically designed for stylus input such as a bamboo table, microsoft surface, or ipad pro with pencil.
