  • HP Spectre X360 14: bit.ly/3oToWJX
    HP came out with an update to the Spectre x360 in late 2020 and added a 3:2 aspect ratio OLED display. They kept the very attractive gem-cut design and 2-in-1 form factor.
    I decided to pick one up and review it for those looking for a high-end ultrabook. The x360 Spectre model I reviewed comes with a 3000x2000 OLED display, 1,000GB SSD, 16GB RAM, and an Intel Tiger Lake i7.
    Overall, this HP Spectre x360 14 is one of my favorite PCs that I have ever used. The combination of power, speed, and portability is one of the best I have seen on a PC. The only slight disappointment is battery life.

    Love the review, great insights. Has pushed me across the line to order mine tomorrow.
    I will be using for RAW photo (but not video) editing with Lightroom. Any thoughts on if I will need a separate monitor? (They don’t seem to match the 3:2 format though)If so, ideas for one. I don’t do gaming either btw.

    Thank you for the great review. I ordered this model yesterday online I hope to get it in 3 days.
    I like the 3 x2 resolution. I had to return the Eny model because I did not like 1920 x1080. The downside is the battery I wish it was better

    I'm a little bit late, but thank you very much for you review! I was having a hard time choosing between the 1920x1200 or the 3000x2000 and with you input about battery life I will be going for the 1920x1200 for the extended battery life, since I will mostly use it in College.

    We bought one that arrived with a HW issue diagnosed by online HPa support. Returned for repair on new laptop, HP did nothing more than reinstall all SW. returned to us with same HW failure. Sent item back, replaced with a new laptop that had serious cosmetic damage and hinge damage, neither occurring during shipping. Returned and now replaced by the 3rd new laptop. 3rd Spectre still had one hinge that is not quite right but serviceable. After many hours on the phone with being passed from dept to dept trying to resolve the issue I can only say I would not purchase another HP laptop after my experience. 🤔

    I have a separate HDMI connector … All I want to know is … in which slot should I connect … ?
    And another question is as u said it has wifi 6 …
    I have a 4G router … will it connect to specter and will it connect in India …

  • @msp5138
    @msp5138 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    In future, could you please mention:
    1. Which power mode you were using. HP Spectres' have four different power modes that greatly impact battery life. The power modes are not the settings that appear on the task bar's battery icon;
    2. If battery saver was on/off;
    3. What level of screen brightness you were using. Going down in brightness improves battery life at a marginally decreasing rate (think child's slide in a playground);
    4. Whether or not apps were running in the background. If yes, how many and watch ones;
    5. What chip your Spectre has (U-series is for efficiency, H-series is for performance, G-series is in the middle).
    At 50% brightness with no apps open in the background, power saver on, and power mode on balanced, I get between 12-13 hours of continuous TH-cam viewing on my 15-inch HP Spectre x360 (11th gen G-series chipset). Without this degree of specificity, reporting a laptop's battery life is at best not very useful and at worse extremely misleading. Keep up the good work...
