A:AnswerIt does not. The older Spectre laptops (about a year ago) did; the newer ones have thunderport 3 (USB C) which you can access HDMI via an adapter (I bought this one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0746BCZWV/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1).
A:AnswerI had the same issue and I had to send it out to geek squad. They replaced the entire LCD screen due to poor connection. Take it to them and have them send it out to get fixed.
A:AnswerI have had this little gem for 2 weeks now. This is the 5th tablet - 2 in 1 that I've tried and I don't think there is much this little laptop can't handle.
My main machine is a 2017 iMac 27" but, I needed something portable for video editing when traveling.
So far I've used the 13" Spectre X360 for Final Cut Pro / Adobe Premiere for youtube videos (youtube.com/daerney) and Logic Pro X / Studio 3 / Reaper for sound mixing, recording, editing. I've also been able to use a Presonus AR12 Mixing board that configured flawlessly with this little gem.
My website, deberney.com, is specifically geared towards musicians - videographers. Most of the content on my youtube.com/daerney channel are music and review videos.
I also have a series on youtube.com/c/rvingminstrel that is a video morning letter to family and friends of travels, adventures, and day to day rants.
All of this video editing takes A LOT of processing power and this little laptop does it all faster than my iMac, without a hiccup.
This has been tested with all of the above programs which are extensive memory hogs, drawing with sketchpad and Adobe Photoshop Elements. I've been playing Wild West:New Frontier which has quite a bit of 3D graphics. Haven't tried any action games on it.
I would also suggest a look at the Dell Inspiron 7000 and XPS series. I tried out the Inspiron 7000 and it met all of my performance requirements but, didn't have the active screen I needed for my drawing/painting applications.
The Dell XPS is highly rated for gamers and it may also be something to look at.
A:AnswerThese laptops do look identical, and I have wondered the same thing myself. I believe they are exactly identical, but have not cracked 2 open to find out.
I have noticed that Best Buy, and some other retailers, are starting to get their own nearly identical, but slightly different products, with different sku numbers. The main effect of this I see is that they get out of price matching that way, because they aren't really the same product.
I noticed this with the Plantronics Voyager 5200 headset. Best Buy has their own exclusive packaged version, with one more charger, and they price it high. Since they don't offer the same model as Amazon and other retailers, they don't have to price match.
