    I like this 16 laptop here is my one day review PROS: KEYBOARD- feels roomy to type on, I like that there is no number track pad and my hands are lined up and type naturally on the keys. The keys have a nice bounce and click feel to them. I really like this keyboard feels really good to type on. To me personally I feel that that the Spectre keyboards are best in class. I am comparing to the HP Spectre 14" 1195G model that keyboard has the same nice click feel but my hands felt cramped in the smaller chassis keyboard. The fingerprint reader next to the alt and left arrow key is a nice placement does not get in the way. The top row keys have your usual volume up, down brightness up, down etc. Some new key buttons are the HP Command center button allows you to launch one of these four apps, the HP command center, OMEN Gaming Hub , My HP, HP Palette CAMERA: Had not tried to use on a video call yet it has some nice upgrades looks smoother and less grainy. Has auto zoom in feature to always track you when you are on a video call so that the viewers always see you. The Auto lock when away is a nice touch, I can walk away from my laptop and it will lock, and when I approach the laptop it will auto unlock. It has shoulder surfing which has two settings that allow the user to get a notification from the bottom when someone is looking at your screen. You can also set up the blur effect to block out the screen. The problem with that in a coffee shot setting you are not going to get much work done if there are many prying eyes passing by and looking at the monitor. I will test out this feature some more to see how it behaves. DISPLAY- the 3K screen is ok not the clearest quality of the laptop, but I can understand why they went the 3K display to save on the battery life and make it be able to be EVO certified. That is a plus feature about this laptop comparing to the Spectre 14” 1195G OLED, that display was a chonker in chewing the battery life so fast, I got 3 hours of battery life when using the 14” OLED Spectre. This new 16” laptop battery has greatly improved on the battery life. I can some hours of the laptop without having to worry about needing to be plugged in. Another plus is when I am looking at the display the screen will dim itself to conserve battery life and then resume brightness when I look at the screen again. When I step away from the laptop the screen will go dark and will not use battery life until I set back down and face the screen again to start working again. PHONE CALLS- when using the YOURPHONE app from Microsoft the person on the other end of the call said that they sounded like they were talking to me in a tunnel. I was speaking fine from the Laptop but the listener said when they were talking it sounded like a tunnel. Fans – Not always spinning but wow they are very quiet. Super quiet and hardly noticeable. The bottom surface of the laptop is cool to the touch, not warm at all. This is a first for me for the bottom to not be hot. Graphics- Laptop has Iris graphics. This model does not have the NIVIDA 3050 graphics card. The black models carry the NIVIDIA graphics card. The blue HP Spectre has the INTEL EVO – means that battery longevity is the primary focus for this model. Fast charging in 30 minutes, screen to unlock is fast as well. This lightweight laptop wakes in less than a second and powers faster media editing with the Intel Evo platform. CONS: The keyboard screen wobbles when typing on it. Feels slower than the HP Spectre 14 inch like it takes a few seconds longer to open up applications. Maybe because it is still new that it is still coming up to speed. Why is there a barrel charger on this Laptop in 2022? We now have USB-C which can charge and transfer data. They should remove the barrel charger port and use the USB-C as the main way to charge the laptop.

    Coming from an HP All In One desktop computer, this laptop is awesome! Love the touchscreen and ability to twist and flip this any which way. I only use as a laptop, but it is cool to know if I want to watch a movie on it I can flip the keyboard all the way back. The keyboard takes a bit to get used too, but not a deal breaker. The screen is beautiful.! Looks so crisp and nice and bright. The speakers are good, could be better, but are good. I personally use with my air pods and the blue tooth connectivity stays connected and I haven't experienced any glitching. The battery life is good. I don't use the pen that much, hardly at all, but it is cool to know I have it. It works good too, I wrote and colored a few images on it to test out. Works just like my apple pen2 with my iPad pro. This laptop was a bit pricy but it is worth it, I purchased when it was $200 off, so I am happy. I would definitely recommend.

    As an owner of the **HP Spectre 2-in-1 16" 3K+ Touch-Screen Laptop**, I can confidently say that it's a fantastic device. Here's my personal review: The **Intel Evo platform Core i7** processor provides me with a smooth and efficient performance, allowing me to multitask and run multiple applications without any lag. The **16GB of high-bandwidth RAM** and the **512GB SSD +32GB Optane** ensure that my laptop boots up quickly and transfers data at a fast pace. The **16" 3K+ Touch-Screen** is one of the standout features of this laptop. The display is crisp, clear, and offers a stunning visual experience. The touch-screen functionality adds an extra layer of convenience and versatility to my daily use. The additional features like **Wi-Fi 6**, a **backlit keyboard**, a **fingerprint reader**, and an **MPP2.0 Tilt Pen** enhance the overall user experience. The backlit keyboard allows me to work comfortably in low-light conditions, while the fingerprint reader provides an extra layer of security.

It's a laptop that I would highly recommend to others.

    Great computer, decided to pick up a computer for my wife she went from having apple to windows based and love the touch screen and yoga style set up, super fast easy to set up, my only issue is the windows 11 bug, to where it will not disable the keyboard when you got it in tablet mode

    So far so good! I replaced my old laptop of 12 years with this one. It's not a cheaply priced laptop but when you keep them as long as I do you don't mind spending more. I think that it is well worth the money. No problems out of the box. I love the touch screen. I bought a wireless mouse to go with it. They work well together making things go smoothly. It's fast, surf the internet, and browse files quickly with no problems. I'm very happy with my purchase.

    This is a very nice computer. It is quite responsive and let's me do everything I wanted to be able to do. It includes a touch screen and can fold over to be a tablet, I haven't explored that yet, but will be soon. Spent last 50 years using computers and writing software. This is a fine machine to keep doing that.

    I purchased this laptop for my daughter who is a college student. She wanted a laptop that had touch screen ability and a pen so that she would be able to write on the screen since she is a student teacher. My daughter was replacing her previous computer which was a Microsoft Surface Book 3. She likes this laptop much better.

    So far this has been a solid replacement for my 2012 Dell XPS. The screen is clear and the touch interface is a clear advantage to those of us that can point quicker and more accurately with a finger than a mouse. Also I was able to hook up 3 external monitors with the HP usbc docking station. 4 if you include the laptop screen. HP Spectre 360 16 16 gb ram 500 gb sad hd

    Bought for my daughter starting college. Seems to be a great computer with way more horsepower than what she will need. The stylus/pen was a nice surprise, as we didn't realize that it came with one, and so far she really likes the fact that she opted for one with a touchscreen. And, of course, her favorite thing about it, it's blue! I'm in the market for a new computer myself, and after this purchase, I'm likely to get an HP for myself.
