Spectre x360 2-in-1 13.3" Touch-Screen Laptop - Intel Core i7 - 8GB Memory - 256GB Solid State Drive - HP finish in dark ash silver

This is a very great laptop with really good quality.

I found it better then MacBook, it’s user friendly, eye catching look

I loved everything about it until this week I noticed the case splitting in front between the case and the one piece keyboard/surface. I have it on my desk 99% of the time and the few time I brought it out was in a thick cushioned case. Hopefully covered since I bought it 15 months ago.

This PC was purchased for my work in commercial wireless network design, to run Ekahau Site Survey and the MS Office suite. Ekahau Site Survey is a very powerful surveying and planning tool for use in planning and evaluating large wireless networks. I've done warehouses up to 750,000 square feet with it, as well as factories, office buildings, schools, medical facilities, and so on. It uses data collections via multiple Network Interface Cards to build a database, and advanced mathematics to show available coverage in a surveyed building. It can also place Access Points in a subject facility, which is even more compute intensive. I've been using an i5-based Ultrabook, since it is light and easy to handle, but it's gotten some years behind it, so it was time to look at upgrades. This PC will calculate coverage maps and create reports in about half the time it took to do the same with the previous PC. It is lighter, and has better graphics. It also computes predictive placement of APs similarly fast. The only downside is that it is too "pretty" to take into some of the hostile environments I survey. For that, I'll keep the old, less glamorous Ultrabook, but I'll take the collection of data from the older laptop (using a USB flash drive) and map/report it on the Spectre x360. It looks to be an excellent acquisition. Battery life is good. I use a "slice" battery on the Ultrabook, which nearly doubles its weight to about 2.5 kg. With that, I can survey for an eight hour day and have 30-35% of total battery remaining. The Spectre x360 looks as if it is going to have similar run time, without the external battery. Time will tell, but if I can survey for six hours on a charge, it will be excellent. And I've neared that with over 40% battery remaining so far.

This is a great versatile laptop and offers great value for its price. I was looking for a laptop that was lightweight and convertible, but would still give me the option of using it in true laptop form (as opposed to the Surface Pro). I had looked at laptops like the Surface Book before buying this model and felt the Spectre x360 offered the best price and value, sleekest design, and best functionality. I also appreciate that HP includes so many bonus items in the box, which many other brands do not - the extension cable, stylus, and even a carrying sleeve. I truly only needed to pay for the laptop, no added fees for accessories needed. The 2 reasons I did not give this 5 stars are because 1) the contact with the charger and the port could be better. I often found that I had to really push the charger in to get my laptop to start charging, and could easily knock the charger out of contact with the port by very slightly moving or touching the laptop. 2) The screen, while great in its multi use functionality, is very reflective and there can be a big glare in bright light settings.

I received the computer with a page of instruction regarding the pen but no pen. Best buy when informed (Mari Mgr.) that their experts said that model does not come with a pen. If you look at the picture of the laptop on this form you will see the pen lying at the bottom of the computer. My daughter has the exact model and when showing me the things that the pen can do I decided on the same model as her. HP said because I did not purchase from them directly there was nothing they can do but added that I am not the first to complain that there were several others who purchased from best buy and found no pen. Please answer my review and see if there is anything that can be done about sending me a pen. Mari said if I came in I could get a refund or she will give me a $2.00 bamboo pen.

After several months of research, I was stuck between a Apple pro, Microsoft and a HP Spectre. Multiple visits to best buy store, conversations and questions with store associates. I chose a HP spectre and I have no regrets. sleek smooth design. 8Gb speed and 256Gb flash drive. its enough to power through grad school and still keep you as a professional. The future hardware ability I cannot vouch, but the present status is a perfecto.

After a long research between Apple, Microsoft, Lenovo, Dell and even Google Pixelbook laptops - HP X360 is the BEST possible solution for any business person. HP was able to get everything that you need for everyday use into one super light, portable and powerful machine. STRONGLY recommend to anyone!!!
