Customer Ratings & Reviews

Went from my MacBook Air to this HP - needless to say, I will not be going back to Apple anytime soon.

I actually bought the silver colored model. Looks like the same specs. System works great.

This is by far the fastest, lightest laptop Ive ever purchased. I love this product.

Well built laptop with excellent features. Fast and stunning graphics.

Needs customisation or flexibility with its components upon purchase.

This's my best laptop hp so far I'm so happy with this sistem.

Very nice laptop. Performs wells, great battery life.

It was an ok system, I bought it for the first time.

One of the bests ultrabook for sale. Serious MacBook enemy

this is a very good laptop with a gorgeous outlook

Cheaper than HP price. Cost effective. I love best buy

i liked this, very comfortable and nice, works perfect

Actually the product I bought is vale for money. .

this is such a disappointment. they say not to judge a book by its cover yet i couldn't help myself. it looked like a solid laptop, but looks can be deceiving. from day 1, there have been a myriad of issues that 48+ hours of geek squad support and exchanging for a newer model cannot help. a few days in, i had to exchange it for a diff model (dell xps) because of such poor performance. my issues: -this thing is LOUD. so loud that cortana cannot hear you. due to its slim profile, it only has one fan and back vent that do not cool this laptop efficiently. -because its so loud, it gets HOT HOT HOT. i have burned myself on the gold parts because it does not cool efficiently. if you want to use a LAPtop on your lap then look for a diff computer. -display is truncated. no one really notices how the screen has been shortened because they only look at the display itself (clarity, etc). due the bottom spacing for the "hp" logo the screen is actually quite short. while browsing the web, i noticed something about the display seemed off. because ad banners at the top take over so much space and the "hp" logo area at the bottom also take up lots of real estate, the actual reading area is small. i even tried making the font smaller, but then this just led to me squinting and trying to get closer to the screen -display brightness is too bright on the dimmest setting. for those of you who like to surf the web or watch a movie right before bed, the dimmest brightness is actually too bright. if you're sensitive to light (or an insomniac) i'd look for a diff computer. -keyboard keys are a pain to type on. they are springy/bouncy - something that's important to me while i type. likely due to the reduced height of the laptop. also, while there is an option for backlit keys, there is no ambient lighting feature. kind of defeats the purpose when it's pitch black. i have the keys memorized, but it would be nice if it could detect ambient lighting and automatically turn on. -no page up/down and home/end keys. they have to be turned on with the Fn key. huge annoyance for me. -processing speed. as a disclaimer, i am not a gamer nor am i a heavy graphics user. i use this laptop to surf the web (online shop), netflix/hulu, play music, and occasionally for work (word, excel, powerpoint). i do like to have multiple tabs open and i was told i should have no issues with this laptop. WRONG. there is lag time, simple programs like sticky notes won't open (when it's the *only* app open), and the entire laptop will freeze. i've had to restart numerous times, but when that didn't work i had to manually shut down. -not a fan of the trackpad. i played around with the sensitivity, momentum, etc. in the settings, but it's not very responsive. i have to use a lot of pressure and clicking is an issue. like with all 13" laptops, trackpad placement is tricky so you won't accidentally activate it while typing. pros: -quick startup time -slim, sexy design -pretty light. even rivals the macbook air -i hate the glossy display. either going to return this laptop or find an antiglare display protector -the display doesn't bend all the backwards. while i know it's not the touchscreen version, most PC laptops will bend all the way down. again this is an issue when i'm using this on my lap. it's at the wrong angle but it can't bend any further back. it would be nice if it could bend just a little further back. -charging and battery life are awful. this thing can't last 4 hours if you don't have it plugged in. it also shuts off automatically around 12% battery so you don't even get the 12% battery to power through. to charge from zero (or 12%), it takes HOURS. this is surprising since it doesn't seem to last long on battery, i figured charging it would be quick as well. -bloatware. beware, there are some programs that come with your laptop and you won't be able to get rid of them (ie xbox). geek squad phone support had to provide me admin permissions to do so. -admin permissions. i bought this computer full price and am well over 18 years of age. i should be able to do whatever i want to this computer. however, even though your account will be labeled "administrator," they lock you out of certain local drives and you won't have full permissions. just beware. -apparently with windows 10 there is no such thing as a "guest account." i simply wanted this feature in case i had a friend over who wanted to use my computer. rather than having them create a new windows account it would be infinitely easier to just switch to a guest account. apparently, not possible. it technically is possible to load the profile, but not usable. oh, how i hate windows 10. -i won't go into how awful one drive is as this is also a software issue...but there are tons of issues with windows 10. just saying. meh: -sound seems fine. could be louder, but with all the design flaws it's ok -camera is fine. nothing to write home about -USB-C ports. they had to sacrifice space another way so there are 3 USB-C type ports (1 is for the power). luckily, they provide a USB>USB-C adapter. -also included in the package is a "leather" sleeve. there's no flap to close it so it could fall out, but it's tough to slide in. i imagine it's also tough to get out.

Bought this notebook hoping that it will live up to the expectations, but so far, the performance is poor. It halts while toggling between the tabs and using chrome or any other Softwares. Very disappointed with the halting issues.

Very fast, super light, great screen. My one big complaint is heat/fan noise when at load. it gets pretty hot when on your lap. With standard workloads this isn't much of an issue. Very good computer.

The laptop gives a first impression that I dare say no other laptop can currently. When you get it out of the box clean, unlike the display model that may give one pink eye; it is a gorgeous device. First impressions were mixed. The screen is luminous and sharp enough without the potential battery consumption that a 4k display brings. The stereo speakers are acceptable considering the excessive thinness of the body. The performance of such a small device with no heat problems is pretty impressive. The cost of that is a very wheezy fan that sounds as though it is rattling upon startup. Unfortunately the screen refused to turn on with the laptop for quite a few restarts, so I lost a lot of confidence in its permanence and overall reliability. Be aware that this is reported to occur once in a blue moon with every laptop that has ever existed. In my brief acquaintance with the Spectre, battery life was good for its size, but I would expect 6.5 hours to diminish quickly to 3.5 with a couple years of age. I'll be looking for a different option for now, but I am excited to see how this product gets refined as time goes by.

If anyone is in the market for the Latest & Greatest Look no further. Beautiful Display that I play 4K Video on, Golden Accents, premium carbon panels that make it the lightest notebook on the market.. I had to learn about Windows 10 a bit ,but I got it down now. This is the latest model w/256GB Flash Memory/7th Gen i7-7500U Kaby Lake ... The computer takes 5 seconds to boot up ONLY!!! It's comes w/ a nice Black Leather sleeve and a USB C to USB adapter which I use to charge my phone or plug in a external Storage device. Very happy w/the purchase and is currently my favorite PC ever.

No inbuilt CDs or CVD player. I felt like I didn't make use of my money.

Great design but poor quality control. Fan failed during the first start, it's generating a loud noise. Laptop is overheating, you cannot touch the rear. My wife likes the design and light weight, I will return it and ask to try a replacement unit at the store, if it's not possible I will replace it by another model and brand. There is a recurrence in fan issues with Sceptre and Pavilion models. I already replaced a Pavilion X 360 for similar reason.
