It ran Solidworks like a champ. Read up on 4K scaling issues before you buy. As long as you don’t mind small icons, it’s fine. Unfortunately, I took mine back. Here’s my review. I bought my first Spectre X360 15” a few weeks ago as an impulse Black Friday purchase. I’d been looking for a laptop to use for CAD class at school. The Spectre filled the bill perfectly, and I got a great deal!! Then a week in, the sound sounded terrible after sleeping all night. It worked fine the night before. I assumed it was Netflix. So I launched HBO GO. Same issue... I changed browsers, no change. I restarted the machine, now no sound at all!! After a 30 minute call to Bestbuy tech support, (the tech logged on and tried to fix it without result), the consensus was I got a bad one, take it back. So, I did. New machine, new install of windows, and apps, and logins. Within 24hrs, same problem. After 3hrs and a complete reinstall of Windows by the HP tech support guy, I had perfect sound again. It even lasted for almost a week. I think it sensed I was starting to trust... Then today no sound again. Back to Bestbuy. The Geeksquad guys said it’s a common HP driver issue (?) I left with a new Lenovo 730, same specs. I’m still not happy. The Spectre feels like a flagship, like years of experience and a clear design language. A laptop built by a company with the confidence to build beauty, over function. Like a MacBook. The Lenovo would be fine if I hadn’t started to get to know the Spectre. But I did and it makes the Lenovo feel....less. I’m disappointed HP. You almost beat Apple at its own game...but.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It should work well with those programs. Its specs meet those recommended to run these programs.
