Eddie Cobb How's your experience with the battery life so far? I want one with a 4K display but am still a bit nervous that it'll last only like 5 hours
I really enjoy it. I've had it a couple months now and it's performing great. It's been a bit of a transition coming from a Macbook Air but the touchscreen and speed is pretty hard to beat.
+Tom Tom I know your question is directed to Eddie, but this has been my only computer since the day it arrived. It still performes just as good as in the video. The battery life is still REALLY good for me. However, I do charge it every day before bedtime. It does get pretty hot at time and you will hear the fan kick on, but it doesn't bother me since it doesn't happen all the time. Even when it gets hot, the performance doesn't seem to be affected. Hope that helps.
hey Eddie I really want to get this laptop for collage as it is perfect for collage and note taking and productive work. But the problem is I am scared to give up macos and break my apple ecosystem with my iPhone,mac and apple watch. Do you think the trade off is worth it.
Just giving feedback because i've been watching a lot of these xps 13, spectre x360, asus zenbook reviews lately. Keep doing what you're doing as far as format. As someone said, i really like how you don't waste 8minutes going through the specs which everyone sees on a spec sheet anyway. Viewers just want toisee/hear about real world scenarios. Also just an fyi, if you go into cpu settings and change the cpu power to 99% instead of 100% it stops the cpu from going into that turbo boost mode which helps a lot with heat without hindering performance too much.
By far the best thing you mentioned, which is very accurate is that the laptop is "future proof." Everything will move to USB-C/ Thunderbolt, and this puppy is already ahead of the curve!!
I love that when you are talking and doing the review you sound like you are talking to us like we are family or friends...which makes it feel more like a real honest review..thank you for your time of making this review...I am really considering this computer over the macbook pro 2017
Thanks for the awesome review, I bought an hp Spectre but really hadn't watched many reviews on it. I will tell you that your are spot on. I do work using google drive, binge watch, household budgeting, slide shows, photo editing, and listen to music using a blue tooth speakers and head phones. It's light weight, easy to carry, tent mode is awesome, tablet mode is great for reading. My D.C Comics collection really looks awesome on the Spectre as well. Not sure if your a Vet or not, Great Shirt, Oorah!
Mikael Falk Thank you for that. I feel like tech reviews need more personality. After all, the average consumer really just wants to know if it's gonna work when you need it to and how long g the battery will last.
this actually helped so much!! I've been looking at all types of tablet laptops for drawing and school. I know now ima get this one. but hey! u forgot to mention if this computer will be great for artists!
+Lacey Oleksuik I'm glad it helped you out Lacey! Now as for your question... Hmmmm good for artist? It's hard to say because I'm so far from being an artist. But I WILL say that the accuracy and pressure sensitivity is great! The little playing around with drawing that if done didn't feel too unatural or querky.
+Lacey Oleksuik Awesome! This was actually a pretty tough one to do... It's a laptop and it does so much and there's so much I could talk about; but I had to keep it as simple as possible. I'm really glad you liked it!
I just returned mine after using it for a week. It is without a doubt beautiful, runs excellent and does everything that I wanted but it dies quickly when it is not plugged on charge. I did everything I can too make it last longer: power saver, brightness at the lowest, use earphones. I was also constantly surfing the web, writing a paper, with two e-texts open. No videos or streaming and it still only lasts me 4 to 5 hours. I thought I had a defective one and asked for a replacement but the best buy guy told me that it is really the approx battery life for such a powerful computer. I was disappointed because I love that laptop but it just really doesn't meet my needs when it comes to battery life.
+LadyJaja Wow! That doesn't sound like this laptop at all. I still get the same type of battery life I talked about in the video. Sorry it didn't work out for you though. 😔
Salau Mojirayo I suggest you not to buy this you will hate this after 2 months I too own it and I am using it from five months touch is not working properly and it produces a scratchy sound after some time with excessive heating and 1 hour light gaming
just an fyi, if you go into advanced cpu settings and change it from 100% to just 99% it prevents the cpu from going into turbo boost mode and spares a ton of heat.

Dude IDK if that is your crib right there but that is some sick decor you got going on you know how to put it together man nice review you got a thumbs up and a subscribe. Thanks!
That's definitely a personal decisions. the 13-inch has been extremely portable and I don't see myself wishing I had a bigger screen at anytime. Hope that helps
Just Doin' Life you’re one of the first I’ve seen to mention you were able to edit videos on it. That’s one of the reasons I am wanting to get a laptop. Right now all of the videos on my channel were edited with either the iPhone or more recently an iPad Pro. It’s frustrating using either. Thanks
+kodomolion76 There have been times where it has gotten pretty hot... Then of course the fan turns on. It hasn't been anything that has concerned or bothered me though. I'm not even sure I noticed a drop in performance when it happens.
I bought this in September of 2017. The screen is cracked tho still usable. They want $300 Cdn to replace it cause it is a touchscreen. I'm also looking for a hard case to protect it but having a hard time finding one.
I just returned mine, it worked amazing and I loved all those features but it REALLY gets very hot and it's noisy. The biggest problem occurred when I was making a pp presentation and the screen suddenly shut down, the keyboard was working perfectly but the display was not working. I had only used it for 20 days so I tried to ask for my guarantee and they told me it would take at least 20 days to get a new one. I have to say that HP service is terrible, that's why I decided to ask to get my money back and I finally chose to try with the Dell XPS13, wish me luck...
Just Doin' Reviews N' Stuff Are you not able to turn the 15 inch silver like this one? I want the 15 inch with the 4k display but I dont want that black and gold color. scheme.
Fissle Wine for the Unity engine and the android plugins (+ Java compiler) is no problem. but Multitasking more things while programming for example making models in blender, photoshopping and co. its too much. But i'm right now working on an 2D Android game and had no problems at all (sometimes tiny "loading" lags and thats it) yes u need and external CD port to read/write a CD
Hi. How are you?. I have to buy a laptop and I love this HP model but I have a couple of doubts and maybe you can help me. The Specter x360 model of 2015 is easy to differentiate from the 2016 model but I do not know how to differentiate the new 2017 model from 2016. They are identical in appearance. I just know that the new HP has an extra ventilator to improve the laptop's heat. Are there more differences between 2016 and 2017? Is a great help to find the new model by Amazon, eBay, HP Spain (I'm from Spain) .... thanks man !!!
+Lolo Alcalde I actually don't know about the differences between the two. But if the 2017 has better cooling, I'd go with that one. I haven't had any issue with mine getting too hot (it does that up though) but others say it's a problem for them.
Hey, awesome review , but i would like to ask how is hp spectre for college work which includes using softwares like autocad etc for 3d graphic designing!! So which would be better hp spectre, macbook pro 13inch without touch bar, surface book or the all new surface laptop?
Hi.. hope you can help me and answer my question.. i really really want this laptop, but my only thing its holding me not to get this is THEY SAID IT GETS HOT LIKE HOT.. and im scared to get it.. please tell me
Kitty Rocoa no problem in unity and Unreal at all. but Multitasking more things is too much (Unity, java compiler, Blender, photoshop) but for just using the engine and java its enough
Thanks, as I am serious considering this as a university laptop, and thunderbolt makes the system future proof, and considering it can be connected to two 4k displays and even used with an external GPU this laptop can also become a desktop system... Which comes to my next and last question, how does this perform when you connect and external GPU to it?
+Vongola X That's hrs to say, I'm not an artist but I have played around with drawing on it. It doesn't feel as natural as paper of course, but it's pretty accurate as far as touch, movement and pressure.
Hi, so my model is the HP Spectre x360 - 13-w023dx. I'm looking for the right pen to use with it. Any recommendations? I need it to be very precise for engineering drawings! Thank you
I've even asked HP what's the compatible pen for my model, but still need to give it a try to see if the one they suggested works. I'll make sure to try the surface pro pen. Thanks so much for the response!
Do you think using Lightroom 6/CC (or any other photo editing software) runs well if you do medium - heavy edits? Also, how's the display when using it outdoors?
+ACpiano94 Your software should run really well on this. All of mine does with no problems. Using it outdoors is ok... Not the best. The biggest issue is the screen glare.
Just Doin' Life thank you, you’re very helpful. I’ve been looking for a laptop that will handle both school and not intense sessions of gaming. Would it make a difference if I were to change it from having an i5 prossesor to i7?
My hp spectre (the same with 15", 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD and the Radeon graphics card) gets a blackscreen after using it for about two hours. Only my cursor shows, but i can't do anything. Then I have to force a shutdown and restart it. I already tried the things that were recommended on the hp website, but nothing changes. Can someone help? 🙂
I use mine for work and pleasure, as a marketing specialist you find yourself editing photos, videos and presenting reports to clients. All mentioned in the review points are correct and valid in my opinion this machine is a great tool. It is well build and is super light. Battery life is great for me. Although I constantly have a range of tabs opened I can work in my garden for 5-6 hours without having to charge it, whilst having video conferences and performing general admin/marketing duties. Would defiantly recommend it myself too. Good video for those that want to find some general information about this laptop.
Could you do a review of the 15 inch? Cause I am torn between the two. I might so some light gaming (Skyrim, medium settings or witcher 3, extremely low settings) which is why I am going crazy for the 15 inch.
hi, I am currently looking to buy one of these and I am getting mixed feelings, a lot of people kept writing reviews of how the spectre has an extremely fragile screen that would randomly crack, and would not be covered under the warranty. a bunch of other people talked about how they were having software issues. at the same time, i love the look of it, and it looks like it has great specs, and a lot of other people seem to love it. so I was wondering if I should buy it?
can you compare it with the samsung notebook 9 pen? and tell us if they are suitable for university students. does this hp laptop have a voice recorder?
Just Doin' Reviews N' Stuff no, it didn't. I bought mine today and there is no pen or such! So do you know any other pen that I can use? and what is the name of the program you use the pen for? 😓
I just got mine and my screen is literally coming unglued on the right side extremely disappointing I'm going to try to get another hp if that has the same problem I'm getting a MacBook Pro.
Just Doin' Life yeah this laptop is defective I returned the last one and now got a new one and it worked fine the first day I put all my information in since I need it for schooling and now it simply stays on a black screen this is insane.
I wish these reviewers get in the habit of quoting the actual model number ( or HP Part number) of the devices they review. The link provided is for a FHD version, and people that have bought the 13 inch UHD Spectra 360 cannot get the HP stylus pen to work. So I still got no clue which model he has reviewed.
Thanks for the reply, but after extensive reading of HP support forums, a lot of people are peeved they bought a unit that does not support the stylus. You need to quote the full manufacturers part number, as there are literally dozens of models. Oftentimes, HP reps will end up ordering incorrect part. I would still like the exact part number of the unit he reviewed.
I had bad experience with the heat generated which i just watching youtube only . and it's in air condition room.The heat is at speaker location .Do you guys had the same issue ? Do i need to look for HP support?
Great video, thank you so much! I especially appreciate hearing about your experience with the battery. I'm trying to decide between 4K and FHD display. I've been hearing that the 4K can really cut down on battery life. I don't do much video/photo on my laptop--but I do multitask a number of text, spreadsheet, and multiple website regularly. How long would you say the battery take to run down to empty from fully charged? Do you notice a drop in performance at 4K resolution? Thanks for your feedback, and keep up the good work on the reviews! : )
Very very gorgeous and after all these beautiful reviews of the different 2 in 1 laptops I don't which I will get I'll make the decision when I go!🤩🙋♀️💻
I enjoyed your excellent real-world review because you hit all the hot-spots I needed to make my decision. Thank you!
+Michael Irwin No problem at all. Thanks for watching!
It's Not Magnesium If It Was, Water + Magnesium = Mad Chemical Reaction
Michael Irwin this was obviously sponsored haha but I am considering it, this or the yoga 920.
+akachuy Sponsored doesn't always have to mean dishonest. 😎👊
same man, very usefull and insight on it
Finally, a reviewer on youtube that sounds like a rapper when reviewing =) Subscribing
+NeoAlgus 🤣😂🤣😎Thanks!
And you're saying that like it's a GOOD thing?
great video
+itsAlexClark Thanks!!
itsAlexClark Alex how could you do it to jaiden
WOAH WHAT R U DOIN HERE
Ordered one of these with a 4k display, core i7, and 16gb of RAM. Can't wait to get it and put my trusty Macbook Air to rest.
+Eddie Cobb You'll love it!

I made my decision, which didn’t come easy until I saw your video. Thank you so much! Not too technical yet straight to the point and informative.
+Jorge Smithers Thanks so much for the positive feedback! I'm sure you'll love it!

+Joao Pereyra Haha! Thanks... If you think THIS is hyped... You should see some of my headphone reviews. Lol! 😂🤣
Wow. This review was actually fun and informative.

I love that when you are talking and doing the review you sound like you are talking to us like we are family or friends...which makes it feel more like a real honest review..thank you for your time of making this review...I am really considering this computer over the macbook pro 2017
Never been an HP fan, but this may change my mind. Have one on order. Thanks for the real review.

+mikedavonwash I'm glad you're liking it. I'm still impressed with it and still nothing worth complaining about. And yes... USMC... Semper Fi!
the fast boot time is from the ssd not the processor.
You are probably the best reviewer on youtube , thank you !
Thank you!
I just got this laptop and I love it!! Great for drawing, coding, and music production. And I'm still drooling over the Ash Silver styling option omg
So after a year, tell me is it worth buying? I want to get one for creative work
I see people say it is noisy and gets hot
Hey this was a great review, your energy made it more interesting. Thank you so much! I never knew there was a spot for the pen in the sleeve.
+lbush8261 Thanks for checking it out!!
You are awesome, love this review! I will receive mine tomorrow, can’t wait!!!
YOU, sir, have to explain Huawei (and Lenovo), why I spent my money on this HP. Great review!
Sold! Great, quick, and entertaining; review hit all the points I needed to see! Was on the fence, now I know exactly what I needed to know. Cheers!
Awesome review! I will be getting mine tomorrow, can’t wait! 🙏🏾
You'll love it... It's still my daily computer.
Great review, so tired of reviews that can't get passed the technical stuff which you just look up on a spec sheet anyway.
Mikael Falk Thank you for that. I feel like tech reviews need more personality. After all, the average consumer really just wants to know if it's gonna work when you need it to and how long g the battery will last.
I really like this review. Got what I needed to know and I like the way you talk. So smooth.
I just got mine 🙌🏽 I love it
+Lauren Murray Yayeee! 😎😁👍
I ordered the 15.6' 4k one. I can't wait to try it out!
+ODETHIOUS You're gonna love it!
this actually helped so much!! I've been looking at all types of tablet laptops for drawing and school. I know now ima get this one. but hey! u forgot to mention if this computer will be great for artists!
+Lacey Oleksuik I'm glad it helped you out Lacey! Now as for your question... Hmmmm good for artist? It's hard to say because I'm so far from being an artist. But I WILL say that the accuracy and pressure sensitivity is great! The little playing around with drawing that if done didn't feel too unatural or querky.
+Lacey Oleksuik Hope that helps!
+Just Doin' Reviews N' Stuff yes thankyou! ur review was awesome and easy to understand!
+Lacey Oleksuik Awesome! This was actually a pretty tough one to do... It's a laptop and it does so much and there's so much I could talk about; but I had to keep it as simple as possible. I'm really glad you liked it!
those hinges are just...so...smooth........
I just returned mine after using it for a week. It is without a doubt beautiful, runs excellent and does everything that I wanted but it dies quickly when it is not plugged on charge. I did everything I can too make it last longer: power saver, brightness at the lowest, use earphones. I was also constantly surfing the web, writing a paper, with two e-texts open. No videos or streaming and it still only lasts me 4 to 5 hours. I thought I had a defective one and asked for a replacement but the best buy guy told me that it is really the approx battery life for such a powerful computer. I was disappointed because I love that laptop but it just really doesn't meet my needs when it comes to battery life.
+LadyJaja Wow! That doesn't sound like this laptop at all. I still get the same type of battery life I talked about in the video. Sorry it didn't work out for you though. 😔
Great video, got mine 1 week ago and it performs just as well as you state
I also got mine 2 years ago and I still love it and it still looks brand new
that is my next laptop. the most beautiful!
+Salau Mojirayo I agree!
Salau Mojirayo I suggest you not to buy this you will hate this after 2 months
I too own it and I am using it from five months touch is not working properly and it produces a scratchy sound after some time with excessive heating and 1 hour light gaming
I got the exact same laptop. overall it's great! just one drawback would be that it gets pretty hot once you really put it to use like video editing.
just an fyi, if you go into advanced cpu settings and change it from 100% to just 99% it prevents the cpu from going into turbo boost mode and spares a ton of heat.

how to do that?
How is the battery life?
This review was great! I love your enthusiasm!
+Ko0lHaNDLuKex Thank you... Glad you enjoyed it!
I just bought this laptop, But not computer savvy. So it’s gonna be awhile before I can actually flow through this. It’s super cute and lightweight.
Dude IDK if that is your crib right there but that is some sick decor you got going on you know how to put it together man nice review you got a thumbs up and a subscribe. Thanks!
+Evan Roggenkamp Hey thanks man! Yes, it's my house. We thought we decorated it pretty simple. Lol!
Sometimes simple is the way to go. Keep it up brother!
+Evan Roggenkamp Thanks again!
Love the review straight on points
Thanks for checking it out! 🙌
I like your review.. you're sooooo entertaining man.. Keep doing what you do... thank you.
+Rowan kt Thank you so much!
Thank you for your awesome review. You've sold me on this laptop. :)
I'm either getting this laptop, or the Envy. I'm also looking at the 15 inch flavors as well.
Andy Kessler this laptop is soooo Good, i just got it
Andy Kessler The battery life on the envy is no good, I have one and battery life goes down really fast with just doing internet browsing
M. How is the laptop holding up, and how is the battery life so far
mate you give a real good size comparison showing how big it actually is
🙌
Awesome vid dude. Been thinking of getting this soon
+Cameron Creekmore You'll love it!
:)
Good review! Are you still using the laptop to edit videos? What program are you using to edit? Thanks!
Yes! I'm still using it literally daily a year later. There have been a few hiccups here and there, but it's still my daily driver and I love it.
Just Doin' Life awesome thanks for the quick reply. I’m trying to decide between the 13 or 15” models.
That's definitely a personal decisions. the 13-inch has been extremely portable and I don't see myself wishing I had a bigger screen at anytime. Hope that helps
Just Doin' Life you’re one of the first I’ve seen to mention you were able to edit videos on it. That’s one of the reasons I am wanting to get a laptop. Right now all of the videos on my channel were edited with either the iPhone or more recently an iPad Pro. It’s frustrating using either. Thanks
No problem at all
Could you comment on the heat management? I keep reading that it gets overheated too quickly. What is your experience?
+kodomolion76 There have been times where it has gotten pretty hot... Then of course the fan turns on. It hasn't been anything that has concerned or bothered me though. I'm not even sure I noticed a drop in performance when it happens.
I have the i7-8550 version with the 4k display and its just plain beautiful..
Great review man. I'm sold
I bought this in September of 2017. The screen is cracked tho still usable. They want $300 Cdn to replace it cause it is a touchscreen. I'm also looking for a hard case to protect it but having a hard time finding one.
hp really stepped up their game... best windows laptops currently

Hey ! Does hp make the natural silver model w a 4K display ? You mention it's a 4K display but the amazon link is the FHD model
+REBECCA GAFFIERO I'm SO sorry... That's my mistake in the review. Its Full HD. The 15" is available in 4K.
Just Doin' Reviews N' Stuff thanks for the reply ! Vid was great 😊
+REBECCA GAFFIERO No problem at all... And thanks for watching!
Just Doin' Reviews N' Stuff Are you not able to turn the 15 inch silver like this one? I want the 15 inch with the 4k display but I dont want that black and gold color. scheme.
+2Lavelle Sorry, I believe this is the only option.
Great video! thank you. I saw below that you corrected its not 4k display hence the really good battery life ;)
How does the laptop stand up as a programming laptop for say android? Also do you need to buy an external CD-ROM for disc based installations?
Fissle Wine for the Unity engine and the android plugins (+ Java compiler) is no problem. but Multitasking more things while programming for example making models in blender, photoshopping and co. its too much. But i'm right now working on an 2D Android game and had no problems at all (sometimes tiny "loading" lags and thats it)
yes u need and external CD port to read/write a CD
Awesome review man, I think I've got a new computer right here.
I have the same laptop but no writer got it. From the internet an HP active pen ordered, but does not go ..? can you help me?
Great review! You should have wayy more subscribers!
+GameTechSuperSham Thank you!
Great video man.
+tominfhl Thanks!

Thanx, Bro... I'll think it!!!
Great review. Thanks for your video.
Hey, awesome review , but i would like to ask how is hp spectre for college work which includes using softwares like autocad etc for 3d graphic designing!! So which would be better hp spectre, macbook pro 13inch without touch bar, surface book or the all new surface laptop?
Hi.. hope you can help me and answer my question.. i really really want this laptop, but my only thing its holding me not to get this is THEY SAID IT GETS HOT LIKE HOT.. and im scared to get it.. please tell me
true
I am coming from Mac, and final cut, you said you do your video editing and photo editing with it, but witch software do you use?
+Ben Stirrup I use Movie Studio Platinum
the most effective review I feel like I've experienced in my life 😂🙌🏾 thanks for sharing
Thanks for checking it out! 🙌
I cant decide to buy this or the macbook pro 13 version 2017. 😭😭😭 does it get hot like intensely is my question??
OZORRA don't get a MacBook
How does the pen compare to other devises such as the Microsoft surface pro's pen?
+Sean O'Brien My old device is a surface pro 3... I feel like it's the exact same experience. Also, the surface pen works great with this.
Do any of you guys know if this model has the issue of the motherboard burning out over time? There's numerous reports of this on the old one.
what about using it to program in android studio and unity and unreal games engine?
Kitty Rocoa no problem in unity and Unreal at all. but Multitasking more things is too much (Unity, java compiler, Blender, photoshop)
but for just using the engine and java its enough
Thanks, as I am serious considering this as a university laptop, and thunderbolt makes the system future proof, and considering it can be connected to two 4k displays and even used with an external GPU this laptop can also become a desktop system...
Which comes to my next and last question, how does this perform when you connect and external GPU to it?
Where did you get the laptop sleeve, I have the same laptop but without the sleeve?
Mine came with it.
I really enjoyed your review. Thank you!!!
Thanks for watching!
Do you think the pen is sensitve and responsive enough for digital art?
+Vongola X That's hrs to say, I'm not an artist but I have played around with drawing on it. It doesn't feel as natural as paper of course, but it's pretty accurate as far as touch, movement and pressure.
Great Review and you hit all important points for my decision
I'm glad I could help!
What's the difference between this version and 2016 version? In my country there is only the 2016 version should i wait for this one?
+Lamia Al Daej o would definitely wait for this one. They've improved on all of the stuff that people complained about from 2016.
How is the battery life?? How long does it last for online streaming?
Good review. My problem is it doesn't come with HDMI so I can't hook it up to an extra monitor? What's the cheapest solution to this problem?
you're one handsome man
EDIT: I laughed so hard at 4:58
so relatable.. I loved this review, it put spectre on the radar.
Hi, so my model is the HP Spectre x360 - 13-w023dx. I'm looking for the right pen to use with it. Any recommendations? I need it to be very precise for engineering drawings! Thank you
If you can't find the actual HP pen... The Surface Pro pen works great too.
I've even asked HP what's the compatible pen for my model, but still need to give it a try to see if the one they suggested works. I'll make sure to try the surface pro pen. Thanks so much for the response!
No problem!
I’m trying to choose. Should I get this. Trying to get Black Friday deals
Do you think using Lightroom 6/CC (or any other photo editing software) runs well if you do medium - heavy edits? Also, how's the display when using it outdoors?
+ACpiano94 Your software should run really well on this. All of mine does with no problems. Using it outdoors is ok... Not the best. The biggest issue is the screen glare.
Cool sounds good. Thanks for the response! Love your content!
+ACpiano94 No problem at all... Thanks for checking out the videos!
Will it handle a little bit of gaming? I plan on getting this for schoolwork but I also want to be able to play on it without it slowing it down.
It should be fine with light duty gaming. It will heat up a bit, as well but it will still perform.
Just Doin' Life thank you, you’re very helpful. I’ve been looking for a laptop that will handle both school and not intense sessions of gaming. Would it make a difference if I were to change it from having an i5 prossesor to i7?
The way I see it, you'll be better off with the i7... That was tge power is there when you need it.
My hp spectre (the same with 15", 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD and the Radeon graphics card) gets a blackscreen after using it for about two hours.
Only my cursor shows, but i can't do anything.
Then I have to force a shutdown and restart it.
I already tried the things that were recommended on the hp website, but nothing changes.
Can someone help? 🙂
Awesome video! indeed I have one just need to know how to configure the pen with it
When you talked about the Battery Life, did you have your brightness at full? 50%? 60%?
+Rpay I keep it on auto brightness, so indoors and at night it was probably between 50 and 75%
I use mine for work and pleasure, as a marketing specialist you find yourself editing photos, videos and presenting reports to clients. All mentioned in the review points are correct and valid in my opinion this machine is a great tool. It is well build and is super light. Battery life is great for me. Although I constantly have a range of tabs opened I can work in my garden for 5-6 hours without having to charge it, whilst having video conferences and performing general admin/marketing duties. Would defiantly recommend it myself too. Good video for those that want to find some general information about this laptop.
Could you do a review of the 15 inch? Cause I am torn between the two. I might so some light gaming (Skyrim, medium settings or witcher 3, extremely low settings) which is why I am going crazy for the 15 inch.
hi, I am currently looking to buy one of these and I am getting mixed feelings, a lot of people kept writing reviews of how the spectre has an extremely fragile screen that would randomly crack, and would not be covered under the warranty. a bunch of other people talked about how they were having software issues. at the same time, i love the look of it, and it looks like it has great specs, and a lot of other people seem to love it. so I was wondering if I should buy it?
great review! I can't decide if I should should get the HP Spectre or the HP Spectre 360x since I'm taking graphic design
V Puduri thanks man great advice
can you compare it with the samsung notebook 9 pen? and tell us if they are suitable for university students.
does this hp laptop have a voice recorder?
which one should I get yoga 910 or Spectre x360?
+Danial khan I can't speak for the 910, but I can definitely say I love my x360!
Just Doin' Reviews N' Stuff yeah, most people are liking Spectre more than yoga for some reason. Maybe because of the ugly bezel on bottom.
+Danial khan haha! It's just an all around great machine. And it doesn't hurt the it looks GOOD. 🤓
New Subscriber. Awesome review. Lots of great information. Can't wait to see more.
A very great video! You are flowing through the video. Good job!
What is about hand clench detection?
What about a pen?? which pen and which Program can u use??
+M. It should come with its own pen.
Just Doin' Reviews N' Stuff no, it didn't. I bought mine today and there is no pen or such! So do you know any other pen that I can use? and what is the name of the program you use the pen for? 😓
+M. Sorry I'm late getting back to you. You can also use the Surface Pen... Mine works just fine with the Spectre.
I just got mine and my screen is literally coming unglued on the right side extremely disappointing I'm going to try to get another hp if that has the same problem I'm getting a MacBook Pro.
+Matts 1234556 Wow! How long have you had it? Are you able to return it?
Just Doin' Reviews N' Stuff I think it's Up to a week at Best Buy.
I've had it for about 4 days now so I hope it's not a problem.
+Matts 1234556 You better hurry!
Just Doin' Life yeah this laptop is defective I returned the last one and now got a new one and it worked fine the first day I put all my information in since I need it for schooling and now it simply stays on a black screen this is insane.
+Matts 1234556 You've got to be kidding me! 😲😲
I wish these reviewers get in the habit of quoting the actual model number ( or HP Part number) of the devices they review. The link provided is for a FHD version, and people that have bought the 13 inch UHD Spectra 360 cannot get the HP stylus pen to work. So I still got no clue which model he has reviewed.
Thanks for the reply, but after extensive reading of HP support forums, a lot of people are peeved they bought a unit that does not support the stylus.
You need to quote the full manufacturers part number, as there are literally dozens of models. Oftentimes, HP reps will end up ordering incorrect part.
I would still like the exact part number of the unit he reviewed.
I would love to have this Notebook for the school work :) i need some powerful and portable machine like this for civil engeneering :(
Great review thanks
Isn't that thunderbolt 3 not usb c? There's quite a difference between the two
Brennan Hochrein It doubles as both.
I had bad experience with the heat generated which i just watching youtube only . and it's in air condition room.The heat is at speaker location .Do you guys had the same issue ? Do i need to look for HP support?
Great video, thank you so much! I especially appreciate hearing about your experience with the battery. I'm trying to decide between 4K and FHD display. I've been hearing that the 4K can really cut down on battery life. I don't do much video/photo on my laptop--but I do multitask a number of text, spreadsheet, and multiple website regularly. How long would you say the battery take to run down to empty from fully charged? Do you notice a drop in performance at 4K resolution? Thanks for your feedback, and keep up the good work on the reviews! : )
Should I buy this for school use and music production?
i think it wouldnt be too bad for music production
Can you try editing and rendering 4k footage? I'm debating whether I get this computer or not. thx
Are you looking for a specific amount of time it takes to render a certain amount of footage?
Very very gorgeous and after all these beautiful reviews of the different 2 in 1 laptops I don't which I will get I'll make the decision when I go!🤩🙋♀️💻
Which is better? '15 or '13? Btw, great video😁👍
+Nede Yoow Thank you. I honestly cannot answer that question. I'm still using the 13" every day for everything I do... And LOVE IT!
Just Doin' Life btw, does it really comes with a pen? What are the color options of the laptop? Thanks!😁✋
Great videos .... keep them coming ... LOVE & SUPPORT
+Seid Delic Thank you!
