This review totally sold this model to me. Going to order one now and I am very very confident that this will be great. Great review, lots of details, well edited and you have a great likable voice so now you have yet another subscriber. Thank you very much Andrew!
@@crispyMP3 I am very pleased with it, upgraded to Windows 11 without any issues, its fast and comfortable to work with. No complaints at all. It was a bit tricky to find a suitable docking station with TB3 but I took one from Lenovo at it works flawless. All in all, can recommend it.
I have this laptop and that sleeve is much more handy than I thought it would be. No need to worry about scratches, a perfect spot for my pen. I love the bundle.
No habia escrito nada, pero tengo este pC hace varios meses, y este review me sirvión "a lot", me gustó ucho todos los aspectos que diste. Kepp going!!
Just ordered it, could only get the silver, no Poseidon Blue available in the UK. Wish they would have made it pure 14 inch rather then 13.5. Loved the review.
@@charlesjanczur I ordered mine more then a week ago from the HP store (due date of arrival is middle of Jan), you are right though, I just checked the i7 in silver does seem out of stock now, but they have the i5 in blue (personably would have preferred the i7 in blue)
Excellent PC. Great keyboard layout (one of the best I have seen). Camera and microphone are good. Don't care for the soldered in memory and WiFi but what you get is probably more than sufficient for most users. HP should consider putting another port either USB A or USB C or better yet HDMI port if it would fit in the corner Gem cut where the power button used to be. The only other drawback with opening up this unit is HP putting some of the screws under the rubber strips. Still a great PC and one of my favorite laptops. Also equally a great review.
I ordered the non oled version and waiting impatiently for it to arrive lol. I am upgrading from xps 14 after 8 long years!! Thanks for the in depth review especially the comparison with 15inch. I was wondering about the size ratios and that helped!
Hi andrew, excellent video as usual. May I ask, is the ram 3200MHz? What are your thoughts about it considering other brands like Dell offer the LPDDR4x 4267MHz ram on the new Intel's 11th gen models?
I just can't decide between xps 15 and spectre 15... I need 32gb ram and I like the 16:10 aspect ratio more on the xps, but on the other hand I like the pen for drawing on the spectre and the price is significantly lower for nearly the same specs...
Great review...this is the laptop I wanted but here in the UK, HP just couldn't give me a date when or even if this configuration would be released (apparently they are cutting back on their SKU's in the UK) - in the end I got fed up waiting so have gone with the Asus UX393EA which I'm picking up tomorrow.....makes me even sadder after watching this lol.
@@chloesmith9272 That’s cool, I really do think you’ve chosen a great laptop. I called HP twice, and the people I spoke to just could not give me any details on this laptop and did not even know if it was coming to the UK. However, I did get the feeling they could not be bothered to find out the true situation. I know they have the silver version listed on the UK website, but I specifically wanted the black version in a certain configuration. I pick my ASUS laptop later and I’m happy with the choice I’ve made, hopefully it turns out to be as good as I’m expecting.
@@rufdymond yeah it's pretty annoying that the UK release is much later than the US release, and I really wanted the black model too but was told that it wouldn't be coming in until later in the year. The UK cost is also more expensive than in the US. They currently only have the option for the i5 FHD or the 11th generation i7 OLED. I would have preferred the 11th gen i7 FHD instead of the OLED for battery life, but sadly not possible right now. Hopefully battery life Will still be sufficient. Good that you were able to find something else instead! :)
I recommendet this laptop to my sister since she needed something for studying. First we thought an iPad Air 2020 would be a good fit, but those things are more expensive than anticipated (800€ without pen or keyboard). Now she is going to replace her old laptop with this. If Im not mistaken, two QHD monitors can be connected via a thunderbolt hub and the laptop used in tablet mode for note taking at the same time, right?
Just here to already drop a like, will watch later but I already know this is gonna be an excellent and very informative review. * proceeds to cry in German, 2099EUR preorder if I want the thing in April *
Bought it already Andrew...and yes ... 3:2 ratio is really make sense since I read more. It is nice, snappy and just match with my fingers without adding more weight than 15" varian. sure I miss the numpad, but can live without it either....everything is just perfect for now and hopefully nothing problem with the screen like my older 15" that I returned. and that is true with your words....we can not kept on delaying in buying laptop since new generation and better version will always come almost every month....you need it...you like...you search...then you buy it NOW....or you will never buy and always compare :-))
There are already many problems reported : like the fact that the volume buttons have been removed, it is now on the keyboard, but when you use it in tent mode or tablet mode the keyboard is disabled so you actually don't have access anymore to the volume button and also to the power button, because the physical power button also dissapeared... and then there is the issue with the rubber feets that fall off after 6 months (a problem existing for three spectre generations now, without any solution) And what happens when you want to press the delete key and you accidently press the power button all the time
If you watch movies or TH-cam videos a lot would it be better to go with the 16:9 aspect ratio vs. 3:2 You did not show it but I assume on a movie has black space at the top and bottom vs. full screen or is that adjustable? I am thinking of purchasing one as I have had issues with my XPS-13 2 in 1 with screen flash and black outs.
This review is exceptional!!! Thank you so much. Please what is the dedicated vram size of this laptop? I want to order it but I need to know if it can run certain graphics intensive apps and games. Thank you so much
Hi Andrew - did you notice a difference in the display between the hp spectre 14 oled and the spectre 15 oled? I temporarily have both, and the colors on the 15 oled look paler and less popping for some reason... it looks more like the dell xps 15 4K, which makes me worry that HP might have sent me a 4K rather than 4K oled
Andrew thanks for another great review -- just 2 suggestions: most if not all of your segments contain a comment on the webcams in these laptops. But since it's almost never the case that a webcam is actually good, and beyond the usual 720 resolution, why include this at all? It's just a waste of time as I see it, unless a particular laptop miraculously exceeds the usual level of performance on the cam. On WIFI cards -- you usually say "future proof for the foreseeable future" -- why not just say "future proof" and leave it at that?
Hi Andrew, Great video. I'm very interested in this laptop, but do you think they'll be releasing a new model soon. I read somewhere HP does October releases. Wondering if they may introduce an AMD version.
I am impressed at the massive difference in gaming benchmarks, up to 60% faster in gaming for the Lenovo. I would probably buy the Lenovo just for that reason. Are you sure those benchmarks are accurate? It's supposed to be the same graphics chip
Yeah, it’s one of the things I look at that makes me glad I ordered the 15t, although I do like that they moved the usb a port to the other side for the 14t, I also think I prefer the exterior power button. Other than that it would seem besides the 15t having better thermals, the 14t is a 15t with the number pad hacked off.
Hi Andrew, thanks for your review. Do you have an indication on battery life with the oled panel but running at FHD resolution? On a 13.x inch screen I don't mind FHD, and with oled you'd still have the infinite contrast even when driving your display at the lower resolution. Have only had oled tv's since 2014 and excited to see more options on laptops.
Spectacular review! Looks beautiful, the Spectre 14, but wish they made it a bit less gaudy. By the way, are you going to test new laptops with Cinebench R23 now?
Andrew, great review as always. Would love to see one of your smackdown videos comparing the Spectre 14t, Yoga 9i 2-in-1 14" and the Dell 9310 2-in-1. In the meantime, which one would you buy for someone in need of productivity work and media consumption?

Does it wake up from sleep when you touch the screen outside of laptop mode?
Im am looking to buy a Dell xps 15 with the i7-10750h or an hp spectre 15 with the New i7-1165g7. I will be using for light video editing and don't know if the new processor is better. I am not a computer guy and could really do with some help.
One question, how is the keyboard backlight for the hp specter 14 in silver version? Some claim that it does little contrast, as the keys are also light in color. Can anyone tell me something about it? Thanks
I don't understand why no one talks about the sound / speakers. I want to love it... But the sound is so, so damn soft. It's easily 1/3 as loud as my old macbook. And the sound always fades and grows quiet randomly. Completely ruins my experience with it.
Andrew, another great review. HP is always on the radar for me. A question, What is CES looking like for 2021? Will it be in-person, and will you be part of it. Have a great rest of the holiday season.
@@andrewmarcdavid Thanks. I think I’ll go with the 300 nit then. Specifically was looking at the envy x360 13 inch. 300 nit model is $850 vs the customizable build on hp’s website which is $1000 after customizing the same specs
It doesn't look like the 3000 x 2000 OLED screen is available anymore. I only have the option of selecting between the 1920 x 1280 Brightview or Privacy Screen versions.
Best Buy only has this laptop with the intel optane ssd, how does this compare in performance to the samsung nvme ssds without optane like the 970 evo plus?
@@andrewmarcdavid How difficult is it to upgrade the ssd on this laptop? I believe the rubber strip has to be removed to get to some of the screws. Just using your finger nail may work for that??? Thanks, and great reviews and channel you have here.
After I used this machine for around 2 months, I have come to a similar conclusion to him CONS 1. OLED Panel gives me about 5 and half hours of battery life, if you want better battery life, get the IPS panel. I really wish battery life was about at least 8 hours 2. The Graphics card (Intel Iris Xe) is not meant for gaming. I tried gaming on this PC, it is ok but a dedicated graphics card would have made this device overall nearly perfect 3. No user upgradability in terms of RAM, but I don't mind that too much PROS EVERYTHING ELSE! Conclusion- Get the device, if you have the money, if you wouldn't really mind the above cons
And one more thing, the pen on this device doesn't charge wirelessly with the magnets, which is kinda expected so it has to charged via a USB C charger (at least they include a charger in the box that can be used to charge the pen)
I ended up ordering the 15t tigerlake with oled screen, other than size difference do you feel they are equivalent, been wondering if I made a mistake, very few reviews on the 15t update other than it’s implied it may be a little faster because the thermals are better.... also it seems oled is a custom order now for the 15t so I’m not expecting to see any reviews if the one I ordered
Good review thanks Andrew. If only they would provide a decent webcam and make it easier to get into (no having to pull feet off). Then it would deserve 5 stars.
anyone knows a better stylus than hp pen that's compatible with the spectre 14? I've been looking for one similar to the surface pen all over amazon and google and couldn't find one
Hi In March 2019 i bought the HP Spectre x360 15”. In the first 2 years I’ve had it, the screen has been replaced 3 times. The lighting on the screen is awful at the best of times. If I’m looking at a predominantly white background (ms word or excel), the lighting is very uneven and ends up giving me eye strain. The screen has been replaced because of these dark vertical lines that keep appearing - starting from the bottom of the screen. I have a 3 year guarantee on the machine, and HP have offered to either replace the laptop with something else or give me back my money. I like the overall build of the x360 however. My question is, does anybody know of the 2021 version has ironed out tie screen problems (the problems I’ve had are apparently known design faults)?
Hey David, Love your Channel and content. Could you please review Lenovo Thinkpad E14 Gen 2 AMD Ryzen 5 4500U . It would be very helpful for students like us and for programmers
I'd like my next laptop to have 32 GB of RAM and at least LTE (preferably 5G) connectivity. I assume that is not available on this computer. If only the Elite book had 3x2 form factor. Also, the video camera seemed not perfect.
Editors choice award should tell you and probably a good indicator of laptop of the year, the biggest surprise to me after watching tons of videos on tigerlake laptops is how big thermals play a part, it’s why I kinda expect the 15T to out perform the 14T.... the proof seems to be the razors numbers.... there attempt to keep tigerlake cool seems to almost be like they are running a different chip
This is so good - my first choice if I was buying today. Stick in AMD, get rid of the Gem cut, put in full size SD slot - pretty much perfect spec but everything compares to a practically fanless Apple M1.
I bought this laptop after I saw Just Josh review it. It's incredible. I love it. Such a good value for the price. Best Buy had a great black friday sale on it, keep an eye on there for future sales. HP Sales Support and Return Policy is awful!
On the HP website in the uk it’s got £200 off and has a 3 year support warranty
Yeah even I got it, but before any reviews even came out as I needed a laptop asap, so I trusted HP and now I am fully satisfied.

After I used this machine for around 2 months, I have come to a similar conclusion to him
CONS
1. OLED Panel gives me about 5 and half hours of battery life, if you want better battery life, get the IPS panel. I really wish battery life was about at least 8 hours
2. The Graphics card (Intel Iris Xe) is not meant for gaming. I tried gaming on this PC, it is ok but a dedicated graphics card would have made this device overall nearly perfect
3. No user upgradability in terms of RAM, but I don't mind that too much
PROS
EVERYTHING ELSE!
Conclusion- Get the device, if you have the money, if you wouldn't really mind the above cons
And one more thing, the pen on this device doesn't charge wirelessly with the magnets, which is kinda expected so it has to charged via a USB C charger (at least they include a charger in the box that can be used to charge the pen)
The gold edges kinda ruin it for me. Wish the blue version had silver instead.
I ended up ordering the 15t tigerlake with oled screen, other than size difference do you feel they are equivalent, been wondering if I made a mistake, very few reviews on the 15t update other than it’s implied it may be a little faster because the thermals are better.... also it seems oled is a custom order now for the 15t so I’m not expecting to see any reviews if the one I ordered
I have the 15t tiger Lake OLED and it's great. My review will drop in a day or so
@@andrewmarcdavid awesome ❤️
can you compare the 4k+ in the dell xps 15 to the 4k OLED in the spectre 15, love this video!
Good review thanks Andrew. If only they would provide a decent webcam and make it easier to get into (no having to pull feet off). Then it would deserve 5 stars.
HP Spectre x360 14 or Dell 7306 13.3 2 in 1?
I dont see option to add an LTE WWAN card on any SKUs in US store. Is that not available?
Not sure if it's an option
Read the option is coming 1st quarter
anyone knows a better stylus than hp pen that's compatible with the spectre 14?
I've been looking for one similar to the surface pen all over amazon and google and couldn't find one
You are the best!
I’m trying to buy this on hp website and I don’t see an option for OLED display. Does it come with it automatically?
Best Buy sells the option for OLED
Hey Andrew, can you review the HP Pavilion x360 with the Intel 11th gen chips please?
I anticipate getting a unit from HP
@@andrewmarcdavid Your reviews are great man... I'll be waiting for that one. Thanks!
is the keyboard backlit and does it have level of brightness options? ty
Yes, multi level backlight
I travel a lot, will you recommend it for me ?
Yes highly recommended
Hi
In March 2019 i bought the HP Spectre x360 15”. In the first 2 years I’ve had it, the screen has been replaced 3 times. The lighting on the screen is awful at the best of times. If I’m looking at a predominantly white background (ms word or excel), the lighting is very uneven and ends up giving me eye strain. The screen has been replaced because of these dark vertical lines that keep appearing - starting from the bottom of the screen.
I have a 3 year guarantee on the machine, and HP have offered to either replace the laptop with something else or give me back my money. I like the overall build of the x360 however. My question is, does anybody know of the 2021 version has ironed out tie screen problems (the problems I’ve had are apparently known design faults)?
I am still waiting for hp zbook 14 firefly g7 review.
15 vs 14 performance please
Hey David, Love your Channel and content. Could you please review Lenovo Thinkpad E14 Gen 2 AMD Ryzen 5 4500U . It would be very helpful for students like us and for programmers
The best tech chanel ever
Thanks really appreciate it!
I'd like my next laptop to have 32 GB of RAM and at least LTE (preferably 5G) connectivity. I assume that is not available on this computer. If only the Elite book had 3x2 form factor. Also, the video camera seemed not perfect.
Can someone tell me if this is better than the lenovo yoga 9i 11th gen and dell xps13 11th gen
Thanks 😉😉💖
I think you meant Fahrenheit, Celsius.
great review. can you compare The Asus ZenBook Flip S (UX371) is Powered by the latest 11th Gen Intel®️ Core™️ i7 1165G7
What is your pick yoga 9i 14 or this spectre?
Editors choice award should tell you and probably a good indicator of laptop of the year, the biggest surprise to me after watching tons of videos on tigerlake laptops is how big thermals play a part, it’s why I kinda expect the 15T to out perform the 14T.... the proof seems to be the razors numbers.... there attempt to keep tigerlake cool seems to almost be like they are running a different chip
Agreed, the difference between laptops is considerable in performance and price regardless having same specs in paper.
This vs ideapad 5?
This is so good - my first choice if I was buying today. Stick in AMD, get rid of the Gem cut, put in full size SD slot - pretty much perfect spec but everything compares to a practically fanless Apple M1.
