I’ve had my X360 for about 4 1/2 years and it’s been flawless. I’ll likely keep it for as long as it lasts. It seems run as smoothly and as fast now as when I bought it. I rarely use the tablet mode with one exception. It’s perfect for resting it in your lap and rocking back in your favorite recliner.
I think David's reviews are very good. Different from other reviewers, he actually uses them on daily basis for few days and comments on pros and cons. He is by far the most helpful reviewer on youtube
You missed the pen support that this laptop has which is one of the big reasons that tablet mode is so good. Provided the fact that you use the latest Dell pen then you practically have a really good hybrid that has pen support
+RandomChannelIWasForcedToMakeByGoogle It doesnt but I have used it for a month now and its only slightly less precise than my old sp3. Threshold 2 perfectly fixes this too, the latency is reduced and missed clicks are almost non-existent. I applied a matte screen protector and it sounds and feels like I am writing on paper now :P Sidenote I have used both the Skylake and Broadwell models and the Skylake one definitely feels better.
+haXona How does the skylake and the broadwell models differ? I can get the broadwell version for $200 less but it's refurbished and I'm looking for a really long battery life.
I get around 1-2(total around 10) hours more than the Broadwell model with 25% brightness and balanced when using onenote. So its really up to you there. Performance-wise the CPU is really close to the Skylake but the GPU definitely got some upgrades. Its up to you if it motivates the 200$ cheaper price-tag, hope it helped a bit :) Keep in mind that if you are going to use the pen support then the Skylake models definitely fear better than the broadwell models(probably updated FW on the digitizer)
I like how your videos differ from other youtubers, u're sincere, honest, gives really professional and unbiased opinion, and most important of all u do know your stuff unlike some (a lot in fact)other youtubers who just read out from the spec sheets. Subscribed, keep it up!
I stumbled onto your videos the other day and can honestly say you are one of the best tech reviewers on TH-cam. You have a professional tone and presentation with a down to earth personality also nice choice of background music. definite sub from me, keep up the good work!
I've had this model in skylake version for 2 months now ($750 on Amazon) and it's a gem. I use it a lot for photoshop work, youtube viewing, and web development using command line, sublime, etc. It performs exactly as I'd hoped. The only thing is that when it's plugged in it overheats, and sometimes too much video viewing makes the fan kick in and it gets very hot. But my model is refurbished maybe that's why although that's a really minor complaint. The 360 capability has been a revelation to me, Never had a touch screen or 2-in-1 before and I'm NEVER GOING BACK. I use the touch screen all the time even in laptop mode, and I often use various tent modes when watching videos on a flight or in the car. When I wanna watch some videos during longer bathroom trips ;) I hold it like a tablet. It's also my first SSD and never going back. It powers on faster than my desktop PC wakes from sleep. Programs start up extremely fast as well. This thing is pure class.
I feel similarly. I could survive without a 2 in 1/360 capability, but I will probably never again buy a laptop without touch, and i will never buy anything without an ssd. And not to mention--she is so, so sexy. People are wowed by how thin my laptop is and how well it performs despite being stuck on integrated graphics.
this is an old comment but have you had any problems with it since? I've seen multiple complaints about the heat being pretty bad but is it really that terrible? thanks.
No still have it and my opinion hasn't changed. The heat gets bad while plugged in, and if I have it on a blanket in bed while watching a movie it heats up pretty bad, but my girlfriend's macbook pro does the same.
If they cut the tablet/touchscreen/rotating hinge cost, god this laptop will be purchased by millions. The functionality is there for basic laptop needs, but I am pretty sure in the world today, people would prefer touch screens on tablets like samsung/apple. At Singapore here, the total cost for it is about $2399 retail. Holy moly. If those options I mentioned were removed, I would easily its good laptop under $2k.
I'm more eager to see your vids than mkbhd :D , mainly it has the contents I wanted. Yesterday I was like "Dave, dude it's been 1 week, where is your vid???". Couldn't be happier when I woke up to see this video :).
been watching this review for many times, till I get the spectre with the same specs. Still, I rewatch this. Really enjoyable videos, please make more!
Thanks for the great review, love the visual graphics you used in the video. Helped me in my decision to get the laptop in June last year, albeit i probably should have waited a few months when the newer one hit the shelf. LOL
Idk what it is about this channel. I can't get myself to like you dave since your polish and sophistication kindda gives me a snobby vibe but it's that same polish and sophistication that makes your videos so fluid and mesmerizing
Great review, Dave! Liked and subbed. As for the machine itself, I like the overall look and feel, I much prefer this look over the gold trim version of the Spectre, but again - the points you made about other aspects of the machine were good to watch. Thanks!
I've had one of these for a long time with an i7 and ssd, and it plays games on the integrated graphics that would blow your mind. It runs Dolphin like a champ, it plays Skyrim on lower specs, it plays tons of steam games. It's amazing what it can do if you have an external cooling fan. That being said, I really bought it to read ebooks (mainly textbooks for college). It's kinda heavy and bulky for that, but if you don't have a kindle or don't have your kindle with you it's a good option as it will save you the price of a tablet.
I totally like your review of this 2 in 1 laptop. I returned this laptop after using it for a couple of weeks, because as you mentioned it is not comfortable to use in table/tent modes.
Wow! The quality of your videos is right up there with people like MKBHD, TLD etc. Just keep up the good work and i am sure that some day you will also reach the skies.
bought mine a few days ago. Every thing is good especially the case (mine is the special edition brown/copper). The battery life is about 6 hours per charge rather than 12.5 hours as mentioned on the website. this could be due to gaming though. the fan is almost silent and does not kick in normally. It is a very nice laptop and so far the best in terms of built quality.
hey! i really liked your review. Can you please suggest if you would have to choose between HP - Spectre x360 and MacBook Pro 13 inc which one would you buy?
Hi Dave, i have a question that maybe you can help me with. I am a programmer, and i mostly use visual sutidio to program webpages, i sometimes use video and image editing programs, and i am looking for a great ultrabook that can handle these things well. Will you recomend this Spectre x360 or maybe annother one? Thanks for reading!
+Robert L hi i need to know if hp spectre can handle the engineering programs and modeling i searching for a light machine but it can do well with my many programs without any problems if this is a good enough ? or i just get a normal laptop like asus zenbook ?
I think you missed the point of the hinge. I bought the Yoga 900 which uses the same mechanism. I upgraded from the original surface pro which i used propped up as a tablet (having upgraded to that from an iPad) 90% of the time. This device will be great in tablet mode for those of us who use it and it can quickly transform into a laptop when needed. Its the best compromise between a tablet and laptop i have seen
Do you ever feel like you activate the trackpad while typing? It happend all the time at this laptop we had in school and I'm worried it can happend with such a big trackpad?
Big question about to ask. I am wondering what kind of laptop would be really good for rendering 10-30 minuter videos in 1080p that runs multiple programs like Photoshop Sony Vegas Adobe after effects and some high running games. Budget $1,500 and below if possible lower ! Thanks guys !!
Dave Lee: If not wanting to purchase this particular "hinged" tablet for the exact same reasons as you mentioned in your video (not worth the $$$ for something that I have little to no interest in), what would you then recommend for anyone still interested in purchasing a higher end HP laptop/tablet/notebook etc.?
You should re-review the HP spectre x360 13". They redesigned the Kaby Lake version, it's thinner (something you dinged it for in the review). It also includes 2x Thunderbolt ports, which you talked about as a plus in another review. The high end model comes with an 512GB NVMe SSD and 16GB of memory and can be bought for $1149 (search for w023dx)
Great review. very useful. I viewed the review after I got the laptop as a Birthday present, but I have no complaints. Felt reassured that my family made a good decision.
Is the screen big enough to work on two Word documents side by side? I went to Best Buy today to take a look at it and the screen seemed rather small...
Hai, I am confused between three laptops for buying, lenovo thinkpad x250 or hp spectre 13 or lenovo thinkpad 450s or do you have any other suggestions. Thanks
i need a hybrid for work(Office suite), project management , systems modelling and sound editing. Is the HP Spectre x360 worth buying for my needs? what are the alternatives?Any help is greatly appreciated.
I bought this beauty and your review helped me a lot to do so. If I could make a request, I would love to see a guide how to game on machines like these. You always say that you love to game and use mainly laptops. But for me its totally new. Its my first laptop and I normally use consoles for gaming. Maybe you could do a video on how to configure a laptop for gaming. I know the spectre isnt a gaming machine, but I think with some useful tips I could play more than windows games. Anyway, love your reviews, keep up the good work.
Hey Dave, love your reviews. Quick question- I'm between buying the i5 and the i7 versions of this laptop. Do you think the drop in battery life would be significant if I go for the i7 model, and if so, do you think the performance gains would outweigh the battery life costs?
Siddesh, I own the i7 and I can say the battery life is great. Gets through a whole day no problem. Skip the quad HD screen, which would be a bigger battery drain and is not worth it on a small screen. Also, the SSD drive is worth it as well. Super fast, low energy, boots from off to desktop in under 10 seconds. Loving the laptop so far, I would buy it again. Dave, great review video as always!
Really nice review, nice shots, informative and clean, you are getting better and better :) Also, I like this fully rotating hinge, it is very useful for watching videos while lying in bed.
Jasterrrr thanks! It's super cool that it can rotate but even when watching media in bed, the experience feels just like a notebook to me. Really great device all round though.
Hi Dave, great video. Im looking for a 2 in1 solution. arount 1000$. What would you recomend?will do regular stuff, work, play lighter games ect. cheers
Hey Dave, i got this laptop recently and I've noticed a soft buzzing when I'm in a quiet room. I was wondering if this was happening with yours as well. I think it might be the fan but otherwise it's not too noticeable.
Would you be able to do your verdict on the late 2016 version? I am a college student looking for a new computer and I'm stuck between the new version of this and the xps 13. I am curious on your verdict!
Just bought my Spectre today and my toggle switch does not stay lit :) But keep in mind that I am from Canada and it is the 2017 model so a bit different. The touch screen is just so useful even if it's only for just scrolling up and down. I don't think I can ever go back. If you currently don't have the money to buy this one then go for HP Pavilion x360. That's essentially the same as this one with a few changes. Both are 2 in 1. But make sure to buy one of the i5 and ssd versions.
I like your reviews and your judgement. If you had to choose a 2 in 1, which would you go for based on your experiences. I'm tossing up between the Spectre and the Yoga 3 Pro. I'm also interested in your thoughts on QHD on a 13" screen...is it a waste of money? Thanks for the reviews.
This or the HP omen? Going to college in a few months and I'm looking for something that can easily be carried in my bag, will get the job done for assignments/research, and will be occasionally used to play games that don't require much.
Hi Dave ! Really loving your channel ! I'm traveling to NYC on NYE and i wanted to upgrade my laptop. I saw the videos of the Dell XPS13, Surface Pro 4, Asus UX305 and this one to compare what is best for me but i can't really decide for one. I'm studying informatic engineering and i'm a software/game developer. I'm looking for a really lightweight laptop (because i move it from home to college, from there to work, and back home), with at least 8gb of ram, no dedicated GPU and a i5 proccessor and at least one HDMI port or something to connect it to another monitor. The XPS13 and the Surface Pro 4 are really cool and the Surface Pen is a plus but the problem here is my budget, i can not spend more than 800/900. Do you have any recomendations ? Thanks a lot ! !
Awesome review. The Spectre x360 is definitely on my list of laptops to consider and your review just confirms that it's a great device. Curious though, what desk are you using? Looks very spacious and minimal which I like.
Thanks for the great review, I didn't know Microsoft helped HP with the hardware, it definately is better as a laptop than a Surface Pro 3, and this probably has the best trackpad in the industry.
Hello, how are you doing? I'm from Brazil, and I'll to USA in january.. I really need to buy a new laptop, but I have a lot of doubts.. Could you help me? which one is better? HP Spectre x360 - 13-4102dx or New Inspiron 13 7000 Series 2-in-1 Special Edition ? Thanks for your video!! :)
I bought this laptop with 128 gb of ssd. But after 2 years it isnt enough and i am thinking of upgrading the ssd or buy a new laptop. any suggestions???
which ultrabook would you recommend for a "low" price?? i need a good processor (i5 or similar) and 8 GB ram with min 256 gb ssd zenbook ux305 HP spectre x360 lenovo yoga dell inspiron 15 7000 dell xps ??? i dont need a gaming laptop but every ultrabook is missing something... the screen is lacking color or resolution, not enough RAM or not enough storage ...
If you want an i5, 8 gb of ram, and 256 gb of storage, you're not gonna find anything below $900. The XPS 13 and Spectre x360 both have what you are looking for in the $999 configuration
My mom has this notebook and I felt the exact same issue with the "tablet mode" It is very uncomfortable to use like that, but as a regular laptop, this thing is freaking beautiful.
I’ve had my X360 for about 4 1/2 years and it’s been flawless. I’ll likely keep it for as long as it lasts. It seems run as smoothly and as fast now as when I bought it. I rarely use the tablet mode with one exception. It’s perfect for resting it in your lap and rocking back in your favorite recliner.

Honestly, this is the best laptop I've ever owned. If I can make any recommendation for a laptop, I'd say just get this one.
Hey bro doesn't have a fingerprint
And can it holds 1t
Also it's good for student
Will it be good for a student?
hi..is hp spectre x360 is also good for school and games?
Newer? Like what? It's very expensive if I buy the newest product..
Can anyone tell me which is a good laptop? For school and game? :)
Man.
The introductive clip with the on-chassis printed HP logotype sliding to the left is simply AMAZING and creative.
You're a damn pro!
***** Thanks! Glad you liked it. Still wasn't perfectly happy with that shot. Gotta keep doing more =)
I'm not really interested in the product nor do I usually comment but I just wanted to say that your reviews are absolutely fantastic!
+Nate Kerber thanks for the support! =)
+Very Good Boy You look like an old soviet genetic experiment on humans that failed horribly.
Can you do an updated review on the 2017 model.
This video literally was teh deciding factor in my laptop choice - thank you.
Great video, superbly produced.

Microsoft surfacebook is pretty beefy. The old Spectre is pretty good if you make sure you're getting quality components.
this is an old comment but have you had any problems with it since? I've seen multiple complaints about the heat being pretty bad but is it really that terrible? thanks.
No still have it and my opinion hasn't changed. The heat gets bad while plugged in, and if I have it on a blanket in bed while watching a movie it heats up pretty bad, but my girlfriend's macbook pro does the same.
I love the quaility of your video, sound, filming, all that. Keep it up.
I just love your reviews Dave! Can you do more full fledged unboxings?
best looking laptop since the zenbook infinity.
bob james Na the HP Sleebook's look really good with their brushed aluminum.
They don't look bad mate but you can't say they're on the same level as the spectre and don't even come close to the zenbook.
bob james Ehhh I do't know I owned one myself and it was the sleekest laptop I ever owned..it's just my taste I guess.
Oh and look at the "I owned one" statement. I actually short circuited the poor thing. :(
bob james and every macbook
This channel just keeps getting better and better, keep it going Dave!!
Soydementiras thanks!
i bought a hp spectre x360 today and so far i'm loving it!!
Ruben van Dreumel glad you like it!
If they cut the tablet/touchscreen/rotating hinge cost, god this laptop will be purchased by millions. The functionality is there for basic laptop needs, but I am pretty sure in the world today, people would prefer touch screens on tablets like samsung/apple.
At Singapore here, the total cost for it is about $2399 retail. Holy moly. If those options I mentioned were removed, I would easily its good laptop under $2k.
2k dollars? that's quite a lot unless you refer to the currency you use there wich I do not know the value of

nvm its adobe premier pro lol
Do you ever feel like you activate the trackpad while typing? It happend all the time at this laptop we had in school and I'm worried it can happend with such a big trackpad?
do you think I should get the 2016 spectre or x360 (I'm planning on doing some heavy gaming from time to time)

Love the way the SD card fits in. Easy to expand storage, which my Mac can't do
thanks for the review we need some reviewer like you
Never stop making your videos! Amazing quality :)
You will grow big one day

Hi dave , I have to make choice between HP spctre X360 and lenovo 710s, which one is better ?
Hi Dave, What camera and Audio setup you use to film your video?
+Charanjit Singh it's in my setup video. gh4. random crappy mic.
i need a hybrid for work(Office suite), project management , systems modelling and sound editing. Is the HP Spectre x360 worth buying for my needs? what are the alternatives?Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks for the review. Dose this laptop support 4k monitor at 60Hz using mini display port?
Since the sides are polished do they scuff easily? I just have this thought that after a few weeks this thing would be really scratched up.
I don't know why but when you mentioned the size of the track pad and said, "It's like iPhone 6 big" and placed your iPhone down I started laughing

Fish Kungfu Double Thanks!
Dave bro.. I'm starting college this year. which would you recommend? the dell xps 13 or the HP spectre 360??
Can't go wrong with either. Really just personal preference
Outstanding review...very informative and unbiased.
Really nice review, nice shots, informative and clean, you are getting better and better :)
Also, I like this fully rotating hinge, it is very useful for watching videos while lying in bed.
Jasterrrr thanks! It's super cool that it can rotate but even when watching media in bed, the experience feels just like a notebook to me. Really great device all round though.
Your all videos have some different thoughts thats really helpfull and enjoyable .Really like your all videos almost ......Keep it on Thank you
Hi which one do you recommend for post processing, Dell xps or HP 360 ?
This or the envy? What's the difference between the two. I would like to buy one for college, coding and media consumption.
Great video! Love this background music, however, I couldn't find FILI Tribe Called Mess anywhere on the internet.
Hey, do you know what material the sleeve for the laptop is made out of? Thanks!
Hi Dave, great video. Im looking for a 2 in1 solution. arount 1000$. What would you recomend?will do regular stuff, work, play lighter games ect. cheers
Great review! Loved it. May I ask what kind of speaker do you use on your desk? Thanks
I've been debating this laptop but it's a bit pricey. Is there something that's comparable with specs and quality but a bit less expensive?
Why does the middle of the keyboard look like its bulging out? Is it just the camera angle? Might get this
Hey Dave, i got this laptop recently and I've noticed a soft buzzing when I'm in a quiet room. I was wondering if this was happening with yours as well. I think it might be the fan but otherwise it's not too noticeable.
Rickyygee probably a fan. you can control it with HP coolsense software if you want
ah awesome, thanks for the reply!
Would you be able to do your verdict on the late 2016 version? I am a college student looking for a new computer and I'm stuck between the new version of this and the xps 13. I am curious on your verdict!
Just bought my Spectre today and my toggle switch does not stay lit :)
But keep in mind that I am from Canada and it is the 2017 model so a bit different.
The touch screen is just so useful even if it's only for just scrolling up and down. I don't think I can ever go back.
If you currently don't have the money to buy this one then go for HP Pavilion x360. That's essentially the same as this one with a few changes. Both are 2 in 1. But make sure to buy one of the i5 and ssd versions.
dude bro, the groove at the top of the screen when closed is where the wifi antennae is located. it's not just a "design accent".
I like your reviews and your judgement.
If you had to choose a 2 in 1, which would you go for based on your experiences. I'm tossing up between the Spectre and the Yoga 3 Pro. I'm also interested in your thoughts on QHD on a 13" screen...is it a waste of money?
Thanks for the reviews.
indeed he cuts straight to the review and audio video is exellent
This or the HP omen? Going to college in a few months and I'm looking for something that can easily be carried in my bag, will get the job done for assignments/research, and will be occasionally used to play games that don't require much.
Hi Dave ! Really loving your channel ! I'm traveling to NYC on NYE and i wanted to upgrade my laptop. I saw the videos of the Dell XPS13, Surface Pro 4, Asus UX305 and this one to compare what is best for me but i can't really decide for one. I'm studying informatic engineering and i'm a software/game developer. I'm looking for a really lightweight laptop (because i move it from home to college, from there to work, and back home), with at least 8gb of ram, no dedicated GPU and a i5 proccessor and at least one HDMI port or something to connect it to another monitor. The XPS13 and the Surface Pro 4 are really cool and the Surface Pen is a plus but the problem here is my budget, i can not spend more than 800/900. Do you have any recomendations ? Thanks a lot ! !
+Dave Lee Can you run World of Warcraft on this on medium settings?
Awesome review. The Spectre x360 is definitely on my list of laptops to consider and your review just confirms that it's a great device. Curious though, what desk are you using? Looks very spacious and minimal which I like.
Gazziza29 drafting table. it's old and isn't made anymore =(
Thanks for the great review, I didn't know Microsoft helped HP with the hardware, it definately is better as a laptop than a Surface Pro 3, and this probably has the best trackpad in the industry.
Love your videos, and the 4K 👌🏼
Is this Laptop good for 1080p Video Editing? Or which laptop would you recommend for $1,000?
I'd like to know too
He literally mentioned it in the video. Watch the whole thing and pay attention to what he says.
+Reggie MCH Editing is best done on real quad cores
ALWAYS NICE AND SOLID REVIEWS ... KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!
One Clone thanks for the support =)
This or an XPS 13 or a Razer Blade stealth? I consider the price factor too so wich one gives the better performance for the price?
what's the better model? hp spectre 13 or this one? would love some opinions! (:
Many people saying it stops functioning properly after like 2-3 months, is it really the case?
i believe you're gonna as big as marques
good luck
How does the 2015 HP Spectre i7 5th generation 8GB RAM 256 GB SSD compare to today's Spectre? Any reason to upgrade?
This laptop or the Dell 13-Inch 2 in 1? They both look great, unsure as to which one's better though.
this is definitely better than the dell
Hey Dave, Is the Core i5, 8Gb, 256 SSD variant still worth it in 2020?
which notebook would you recommend, dell xps 13 or similar spec hp spectre x360 ??
Which is a better computer: hp specter x360 or hp envy 13t? Thanks!
Hello, how are you doing?
I'm from Brazil, and I'll to USA in january..
I really need to buy a new laptop, but I have a lot of doubts..
Could you help me? which one is better? HP Spectre x360 - 13-4102dx or New Inspiron 13 7000 Series 2-in-1 Special Edition ?
Thanks for your video!! :)
this laptop is great. really like the multimedia mode
hi Dave,
Can you suggest a laptop similar to this one around $1000?
I bought this laptop with 128 gb of ssd. But after 2 years it isnt enough and i am thinking of upgrading the ssd or buy a new laptop. any suggestions???
which ultrabook would you recommend for a "low" price?? i need a good processor (i5 or similar) and 8 GB ram with min 256 gb ssd
zenbook ux305
HP spectre x360
lenovo yoga
dell inspiron 15 7000
dell xps
???
i dont need a gaming laptop but every ultrabook is missing something... the screen is lacking color or resolution, not enough RAM or not enough storage ...
If you want an i5, 8 gb of ram, and 256 gb of storage, you're not gonna find anything below $900. The XPS 13 and Spectre x360 both have what you are looking for in the $999 configuration
My mom has this notebook and I felt the exact same issue with the "tablet mode" It is very uncomfortable to use like that, but as a regular laptop, this thing is freaking beautiful.
