This is my review of the HP Spectre 360 late-2017 version laptop computer, model # 13-ae011dx. . I have owned the 2015 version of the HP Spectre for 2 & ½ years and I must say that it is a superb machine and the newest model is even better. I also own an HP desktop, the Elite 700-414. I have been extremely happy with HP’s computer products, especially the Spectre series. I have not had to contact HP for any reason and that tells me that their products are built well; they are reliable; they are low-maintenance; and they will work for me until I am ready to get a new one. I have the Intel i7 chip in the 2015 version and 8 gigs of ram. The new model that I own has the latest generation of the Intel i7 chip, and it also has 8 gigs of ram. Even though it has the equivalent hardware it runs much faster. Also, because it does not generate as much heat, the fan does not need to run as often so it conserves power, runs quieter and the battery life is much longer. In the older model Spectre the fan kicks on a lot more and can be a little disturbing at times. I fell in love when I saw the ads for the Spectre back in 2015. It is a sleek, thin powerhouse. The newest Spectre is even lighter and more compact. By taking the active screen almost clear out to the edge of the lid they cut the length and width down by a full 1/4 inch the whole way around, making it smaller and lighter as well as thinner, without sacrificing screen real estate. The Spectre is a 360 machine, meaning that the lid can swivel all the way around, disengaging the keyboard and essentially turning it into a tablet, making it very convenient in certain situations. I like to stand it up like a tent to watch videos and listen to Spotify. The Bang and Olufson speakers are on the bottom of the body, but when you have the Spectre standing in tent fashion or fully open in tablet mode, they are facing you. The sound is good no matter what position it is in in the newest Spectre. They sounded a little like they were inside a can in the older model, but not in the newest version. Both Spectre models I own have a 1080P HD touch screen and that is perfectly adequate for my needs, but you have the option to get 4K because the Spectre is customizable. The HD screen is crisp and clear in both models, each using Intel’s integrated graphics 520 and 620 respectfully. The 2015 Spectre has a card reader that fits a standard XD card, 3 USB-2.0 ports and a charging port. The charging cord on the older Spectre is what I would call a standard setup. It consists of the wall cord and then the adaptor with a charging cord that goes to the charging port on the left side of the laptop. It is sort of bulky like most laptop chargers, but together the cords are about 6 ft. long. The new Spectre uses a type-C thunderbolt to charge and it is fast. The charge cords are about 8 ft. long overall. At the wall plug end it is set up similar to the Mac Pro. You can use one cord directly or you can change the plug setup and use both cords to extend to the full 8 ft. From 15% power it only took 1 hour and 15 minutes to reach 100% power on the new Spectre! The older Spectre takes about 3 hours. Plus, there is another type-C Thunderbolt port for data or media. Not only is Thunderbolt faster, but you can insert the connector in any direction. There is no shape that must match up like with the standard micro USB, or USB 2.0, or USB 3.0. Also on the back-left side behind the start button there is a USB 2.0 port. More towards the front on the left side is a micro card reader that is great for folks with an Android phone that use a card, or someone who films and shoots pictures with a drone. I almost forgot, this Spectre (2017) also came with a pen and it works great with the new Windows 10 fall upgrade. The newest HP Spectre 360, model # 13-ae011dx is overall a faster, quieter, smaller machine than the 2015 version. Again, I thought the 2015 Spectre is light, but the new Spectre is a lot lighter, no heavier than the 12.9 iPad. I own a Surface Pro 2, a Surface Pro 3, a Surface Book, a Mac Pro (2015), and the HP 700-414 desktop. Out of all of them I use the Spectre as my travel computer. It holds a charge much longer than my other laptops and is thinner and lighter as well, and it has a touch screen. Also, it has proven to be more dependable, and my newer model has been even more reliable than the older Spectre. If you consider that I have owned the HP desktop for 3 years, and the Spectre for 2&1\2 years and I have never had any issues with them, this testifies to the quality of the HP products. I highly recommend you consider the HP Spectre 360 if you are looking for a quality laptop that looks great too. If you cannot find a model that suits your needs, then customize one. (The Spectre is a higher-end machine so I cannot testify to what the quality of HP’s cheaper machines is.) I believe that you cannot go wrong with that decision in my opinion and you will be glad you made that choice now and 2 years from now too.

amazing laptop! does everything you need it too. perfect for college
