Its a really gorgeous laptop and I want to keep seeing this design but a few things need to be tweaked first! What do you guys think? Hit me up on discord.gg/mattmoniz if you have any questions!
Battery life should have been the main focus of this video since its sooooo poor. Work on that. Your recommendation should have been a hard no on this at the end of your video.
Wish it had a bigger touchpad since both the palm rest and touchpad are just too small for your typical scrolling. My Yoga C940 14 has a bigger touchpad than this lol. You can fix the performance loss btw with with Throttlestop disabling and locking turbo boost to 45w watt TDP. Also, have you tried HDR? HDR is bugged on like almost more than half of Spectre 15 2020's out there. You'll see it lag like a beast there when other laptops with the same iGPU don't suffer from this
My HP x360 15.6" Spector (i7-10510u, 16 ram, 512 ssd, NVIDIA GeForce MX330 graphics) gets 14-15 hrs of continuous UA-cam viewing using 1080p resolution; 50% brightness; Wifi, Bluetooth, and battery saver all on. For basic office work and data analysis, it easily lasts more than 1 day. Read the Best Buy reviews and you will see other people praising its battery life...
To clarify for others who read this comment, the review model is a higher-end model with much more power demanding 10750H processor. The battery measurements in the review is accurate.
Would you consider going over the drawing capabilities when reviewing similar devices in the future? As a digital artist, a 2-1 laptop won’t be worth it if the pen function isn’t up to snuff. Even if you’re not into illustrating yourself, a simple test of pen sensitivity and accuracy would be very helpful.
Reason why he only got 3-5 hours battery is because his HP Spectre x360 has nvidia graphics card which is a dedicated one. You will never get 15-19 hours battery with a dedicated graphics card.
@@tseyksuli4541 of course you will. At least 10 hours. Many laptops have integrated GPU+discrete GPU and they switch when needed. But 3h30 of battery is totally unacceptable.
@@melomaniakjm not really, laptops with discrete gpu will never get 10 hours even if it uses intel HD. It will only last 3-5 hours max. Since nvidia gpu is consuming power even if laptop uses intel HD as main gpu. The nvidia is stil powered with electricity from battery. So please don't come here and say you can get 10 hours with a laptop having both intel HD and nvidia since that is not true.
I purchased the Spectre x360 with 4k UHD a couple of months ago as a replacement for my primary laptop. I upgraded from an 8 year old ACER so I think almost anything would have been an improvement. So far as the battery life is concerned, I can get out about 5 hours with normal usage. If I'm doing something more intense such as photo editing, the life drops considerably, but in any case, no where near the 17 hours HP advertises. I also think the webcam is horrible, especially in low light situations. I wound up buying an external cam. So far, however, I am satisfied with my purchase and with it's performance, although if I had to do it over, I would have gone with the Dell XPS-15. But so far it has handled everything I have thrown at it.
Hi, I'm thinking of buying the ssme laptop. Since you've posted this, has there been anything else that you've notice or uncomfortable with. 11 months later, how has it held up so far, any glitching or display issues? Any issues with battery? Do let me know please
I purchased this new HP Spectre x360 15 last month, but I specifically chose the model with the IPS screen and U-processors over the higher-end configuration Matt reviewed here. And honoustly, I am 100% satisfied with my purchase! The processor doesn't throttle, because of it's lower TDP the heat management is waaay better (the fans are almost always off) and the IPS screen is also more efficient than a power hungry OLED screen. I find the battery life to be amazing: I streamed 3 hours of Netflix with the brightness set at 50% last night, and it only consumed 18% of battery life. So if you're not doing very intensive tasks, I truly recommend this laptop with the "lower" configuration :-)
I have the 2019 model of it (u series), and i too agree with that the ips screen is much more efficient, i can get 8-10hrs of school work done with 50% brightness.
The tiger lake has an intel evocore certification regarding battery life and boot up etc. The tiger lake is also 16:10 which means more room for keyboard/trackpad and has integrated XE graphics which will ensure longer battery life than what Matt got with his. After all with a 70Wh battery I might also be expecting some good duration for the battery. It might be worth a further review.
i have this laptop, bought it for design work, and tobe honest, it handles photoshop and illustrator(especially) well, i optedd for mx250 geforce (to save money) since both photoshop nad illutrator are primarily CPU and memory intensive apps. another reason is so i can pair it with a eGPU (which I have done)... and it works great. With just 2 cables (power and tb3) i boosted the power of this little laptop. There are a few things to work out, since i wanna game on it too, but other than that, I am happy. My gripes are, there is no place to hold the pen (not that big of a deal) and it seems the cooling takes way too long to cool it down other than that pretty happy. Also looks baller in any setting :D
@@blade4174 I've only been able to get 5-6 hours of battery life.. and in that time I was editing videos, uploading videos. Organizing photos and browsing the web
i have the 2019 model 15" with i7 10510u 10hrs of battery life easy, with the 4k screen as well. love the laptop. Edit: Update, now i have the 2020 model with 10750h, + 1650 ti max q, battery is 8-9hrs with the ips, and my cinebench R23 score is 7030, feel like the early bios was shit in the review sample he had
alif durjoy hmm I’m not too sure about the current line up but from what the video shows, definitely don’t buy this model. If you don’t mind last years one, then yes buy that. It’s worth the money. Only thing is it will have an 8th gen processor as compared to a 10th gen. But again you should do some of your own research into the matter
My main issue with it and when selling it at Best Buy is that I've had returns on the issue that it overheats. I've had at least 5 different ones come back because of overheating issues. I'll sell it if the customer truly wants it, but other then that I typically steer clear of it now.
Bought mine new from Best Buy when I went back to school a year and a half ago. Battery is shot, because I constantly had to charge it. I had hours of school work to do, and the battery life was not ever long enough. Overheats and one speaker has already gone out. Screen flickers and goes black in the middle of assignments. It’s a bummer. It’s so pretty and I had such high hopes for it.
I have this laptop 16gb ram, cost $2,000. I love it and the gaming is really good. I played call of duty warzone. For sure I will try out a video editing software.
it doesn’t suck at video editing AT ALL. i switched from macbook pro to this spectre 1TB/gtx/16ram so i could run FL simultaneously, faster. and it out performs apple and surface in nearly every category. with a great pen and 4k touch screen … truth is, a laptop with these same specs from apple would be over 4 grand.
Thanks for this video, I was really considering this laptop based on some other reviews and because it looks great, but I had to actually go back and make sure you said 3 hours when referring to the battery. For $1800, having a 3 hour life is pathetic to say the least and HP saying 17 hours is just blatant false advertising. The below-base clock underclocking is also unbelievable.
Hi, I have my eyes on this one, but your review is making me doubt. Which is a good thing! I am wondering what the best alternative is to this laptop? 2-in-1 15 inch? Thanks
Probably surface book 15. It costs a LOT but comes with at least 16GB, you can use screen as tablet and has more powerful GPU with [if this review is anything to go by] surprisingly similar CPU performance. If llenovo c940 he showed is available in your region with dedicated graphics that might be best option to save some money [and if it has wacom might have better pen as well].
I don't need any laptop as I've bought a MacBook pro just recently and it's working fine .... But I had almost made my mind to buy hp spectre x360 today after watching some ads and just casually checking out a sponsored review.... Thankyou for changing my mind ❣😂
Since I use my laptops plugged in like 98% of the time, and only use them for very short periods unplugged, I don't have a problem with a short battery life. For me, a laptop battery's main purpose is to keep the machine from immediately shutting down if the cord gets unplugged causing me to lose work. Three hours works for that. I also don't mind the performance being a little lower than other laptops because I was able to get this particular laptop at a massive discount. But what is the biggest concern for me is some people reporting online that it might not work at all with some VR headsets. When I use VR, I don't need my settings maxed out: I just need something that's good enough at VR to be playable. Would this work for that purpose?
thanks for the review- I returned 3 HP and 1 Dell laptop because of a webcam issue- 2 Elite books and a Spectre 13.3 inch. I am waiting for the Spectre 16 inch or Elite book Dragon Fly max- I understand they have 5 mega pixel cameras.. Still not available in India though...
Well, I don't know what or how you tested, but my results are a bit, a way bit better than you are complaining about. Heat? No problem, battery life, my daughter worked on it with graphics ( the latest Paintshop Pro version), with the music on and stuff kids do while multitasking, for 6 hours and the battery has approx. 40% left. The vents are doing steady and no alarming noise or things that could be annoying where noticed. Now, what Spectre I tested: Hp Spectre x360 convertible 15-eb0100nd. That has the 10th generation Intel I-7 , 1 GB soliddrive, 16 Gb Ram, NVidia Geforce MX-330 2 GB etc. I think the best 2 in1 available on the market yet. Now, I can't compare it with my Envy, that one is tagged about $1100 higher in price.. and isn't a 2 in 1 either..
I purchased this laptop about four months ago. I'm not a gamer, not a video person, just needed a laptop with beaucoup storage for beaucoup documents. My only complaint is the weight, it's a little heavy. Very sleek, great aesthetics.
I have this exact model of this laptop. I went with the OLED screen for better colour accurate as I am a photographer. You do make a trade off with this screen as I read several reviews where people were saying that the battery life with OLED screen was worse than with LED. I use this as a student as well and for gaming. I love my spectre and wanted the 2 in 1 for tablet mode for taking notes and reading. I haven't honestly used it a lot yet and might get a small, cheap tablet just for reading because with the 15" screen, it's a bit awkward to use. That being said, I adore the screen. The computer is really fast and never unresponsive. The battery life is only thing I would change. You can change screen and battery settings to make it last longer though. It will be interesting to see how it fares when I am back in a university setting from class to class. Luckily, it doesn't take long to charge so that's a plus when dealing with a battery that dies quick.
Thanks for the detailed review. I was about to but this laptop but the PWM flickering just won't do it for me. Also the battery life is awful, I have watched the 13" & 14" reviews and looks like they are way better. Such a shame for such a beautiful machine - like beauty without brains lol. I hope HP does something to sort out the problems otherwise this might be one of the worst rated laptops in 2021.
I've bought 3 different hp laptops over the course of the last 15 years and they all sucked. Everyone of them had thermal issues. After about 8 years of not even considering an hp, I decided to buy last year's spectre model for my daughter since the reviews were so good. It got hot as soon as we started it up. I immediately wanted to send it back but it was a Christmas present that I purchased 2 months in advance. After8 months of use, even after trying to repaste it, the fans sound like a jet engine. I have a 4 year old Dell XPS that still works great and doesn't get hot and I've been able to upgrade the ram to 32G and update the SSD to a Samsung Evo. Works like it's new
I returned that laptop. It couldn’t keep up with me on Adobe. I’m a UA-camr too. You are right on point with the performance. It’s a great student laptop. Not for editing... The Dell XPS 15 9500 4K Frost White is so much better!! 👏🏼
As a software engineer, I bought this machine for my new job, your final thoughts are spot on. I’m actually getting ready to return it and buy a different computer. I picked it up for its impressive specs/hardware, but when you try to do any kind of heavy computing and actually utilize that hardware, it gets incredibly hot. Your analysis is 💯
I bought a 13 inch about 2 months and I wish I had seen this review before. The one that I bought sucks! And I am not using it for video editing or anything like that. I wanted it for school. Just to do my papers and my classes online. About the third day that I started using it, I had to restart it and it took more than three hours to restart. It was also not opening apps like Cortana and it took forever to open windows. The search bar was not working and basically it was too slow. I thought it was my wifi connection but it wasn't. At the moment HP has it and they are reparing it. I had such a bad experience with their sales department and with the product. I needed something reliable and it let me down in the middle of my semester. I do not recommend this product to anybody!
Woah, I waited for this for so long at the beginning of the year. I finally got an HP Envy 15 for 1k. I'm so happy I didn't buy the Spectre. Dodged a bullet I guess,
I actually just bought this laptop.. now I'm now I'm not doing anything too crazy on it. I edit videos, watch UA-cam.. look at my photos.. type things up. It looks beautiful and feels very premium. I was using a 2018 HP 15.6 inch i3 laptop previously so this was a huge upgrade compared to that.
@@anonymex9260 I tested it out last night... a full battery life got me around 5-6 hours.. was editing videos, and uploading, organizing photos and browsing the web.
matthew moniz outstanding hp spectre x360 youtube video overall 101%. between hp spectre x360 3 sizes 1. 14 2. 15 3. 16 which order is battery life longevity ??? can you list hours of each size ??? i did all my homework/research & did purchase hp spectre x360 15.6" which did arrive today.
3 hours?! That's insane...... other reviewers are getting much more battery life. I genuinely love the look of the spectre and am considering to buy one but after watching your video I am scared. PLEASE get another unit and test that, I'll be extremely grateful...
Is it just changing the resolution on Windows to 1080p. Thinking of getting this for my SO since she loves the design so if turning down the resolution helps battery life, I’ll feel better about getting this for her. She needs a laptop for work just itll just be stuff like excel and word mostly,
@@chia-haochou8102 yeah she doesn’t need the dedicated gpu for work, but she does use her old one a lot for streaming to I thought the 4K screen would be nice for her to have.
There’s two version of this laptop one with LCD screen and one with oled. The LCD is screen laptop maybe is the one with advertises 17 hours, as other reviews are showing close to 11 hours on the LCD version.
Whats the best laptop for music production and video editing, which also suits programing? I want an all rounder. Was gonna buy this laptop for the look and power, but sounds like it's not great on performance.
you want this computer but with 1tb ssd. homie doesn’t know what he’s talking about and hasn’t used it. he showed some reviews. i run FL and premier pro simultaneously with other apps running in the background. i still get 5+ hours from the battery, outperforms my 2016 macbook and my homies surface pro, which he also says are better. just a load of garbage. and the flicker under 50% brightness is also a straight up lie. idk what he’s reviewing here bc it’s nothing like my spectre i7 gtx
I just bought this in the black friday sale, waiting for it to arrive.. I will be using it for getting into video editing so I am in pain to hear you say the performance is poor. Is there anything I can do to mess with the specs in anyway? The battery life doesnt concern me but agreed that is pretty poor
Hi mate. I’m looking for a laptop. I would mainly be using it for college work/ using for charts to trade. Nothing much just general use. Can you recommend a good laptop for a reasonable price please? My budget is £1000 tops but preferably the lower the better
After researching ALLL of so many laptops, I learned a lot about ram, processing speed, resolution, etc. I have 4 Dells one is desk top, an Acer, 3 HP's. And a MacBook air. None work, but HP 's, which the tops have broken from the hinges,, so I do like that the Spectra has a slight wedge like space that allows easy lifting of the screen.. The screen is crystal clear with the Oled, and I Love love the backlight, its nice and bright not over powering. The case and stylus adds added pleasure for me, as I have a little time to purchase a case. So, I suggest, get out and see, feel, for yourselves, because everyone has different interests and nit picks, that may not be your concern, such as, the stickers on the laptop...bahahahaaaa, I paid that absolutely no attention. But that's me,, shoulders hunch. I needed a speed, ram, durability, clear screen with glare protection as I wear eyeglasses, backlight as I teach and learn, using my laptop so I liked the cutesy color which will cause me to use more frequently. I did like the HP 15 Envy, it is a great choice as well, however I think the Spectra had the i7 processor and not the Envy, with it, still not bad but not Cute, oh, and I like that the Spectra is a 2 in 1, also has the camera slide, not the right terminology, but hey, I suggest you go to a good store with a knowledgeable sales representative, and tell them what YOU WANT,...worked for me, or there is return, repurchase. I within my home, HP's or the MacBook air haven't let me down. MacBook is cool as fan on any day!, just not mine, and It doesn't have a ten key pad, and I don't favor the scroll on it, or the resolution, those are my nit picks about it,, again, that's me..Happy shopping!....GREAT REVIEW, WATCH! I'll have to see about this battery life, though I did follow the directions that says to plug it in, before turning it on, and I let it stay charging. You know, when you get new electronics, you supposed to let them fully charge, to "guarantee " quality battery life. I don't know, ill update us, I'm curious as well. Oh, I did see a review on Amazon, where one was delivered damaged screen. This made me leary, however, return, is on my side, so ill keep that thought in mind, about the flicker, but I'm getting ready to enjoy it,...until next time....
They shouldn't decrease the depth. They should increase it. Depth is important for ergonomics. This is just way too cramped in terms of depth. That's why moving to 3:2 is such a great change
Oh how I loved how matter-of-factly and succinctly you stated the true 3 hour battery life compared to the absolute trash of a lie HP listed "17 hour, 59 Minute" time where they sit it on the BIOS update screen for the duration.
First of all 16GB RAM is a solid number. Second, they do have a 32GB version of the Spectre x360. Third, it has been more than 3 years. Fourth, If you didn't know any of this, you probably don't even need a pc with 32GB to begin with. store.hp.com/us/en/pdp/hp-spectre-x360-laptop-15-eb0065nr?intel=10gi7&jumpid=cs_con_nc_ns&INT_CONS_8-10G_HGM_BR-DT&adid=390170928372&addisttype=gpla&3E916UA%23ABA&gclid=CjwKCAjwoc_8BRAcEiwAzJevtcQVsn_mKsxJ6nVat2bgDT4A41CWaYoDRlTRGkUmk_kCA6B94F_wjxoCnfcQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds
sorry bro, you musta got a lemon. i got the i7/16RAM/1TB/NVIDIA GTX , same one i believe you’re reviewing here… and it 100% outperforms macbook and surface, simultaneously running premier pro and FL Studio. and while downloading/updating/installing background applications, i can still get 5hr out of the battery. also, you’re nitpicking with the stickers.. who cares? it’s the most appealing design of any 2 in 1 laptop, so much so that stickers can bother you since there’s nothing else bad to say.
I just purchased and i started using it. I’m using it for excel and Word. So I’m good according to you. but how about Zoom, AutoCAD, GIS, and Microsoft Teams?
Dude a laptop with those specs really should do fine even in those apps.. I mean even my potato PC is acceptable, let alone a significantly more powerful laptop..
Me too. I had just placed my order for the 15 inch and then an hour later I noticed the 11th gen refresh was announced. Mannnnn, I got on that phone and cancelled my order real quick 😂😂😂
They could keep the physical size of laptop and increase display size. That way palm rest would remain same size and comfortable and also giving users larger screen
I have the 2019 13 inch version with almost all of the upgrades and my battery life is terrible at 2 hours (I paid $1500). Hinges aren't aligned too. My wife ordered the same model too and she got 2 models with bad hinges so she returned them and went down to the entry level (I think Envy) and is happy as that model as it has a different hinge design and also much better battery.
i fell you man, i got the 2018 model and payed 1500 as well for the 3-4 hour battery life, it thermal throttle and couldn't even run csgo at a 100 fps, totally scammed with that mx150, its like a minicooper, good looking on the outside, trash on the inside
I think you might have a bum model, or HP needs to do some firmware/driver updates. HP wouldn't advertise 17 hours and then only give you 3, they would get sued for false advertising. That and it doesn't make sense having a H processor and getting such poor performance.
@@clanky44 Thank you. That's really terrible. Have you contacted HP support about this? Really curious to what their reasoning would be. To be honest 17 hours was a long shot at best, but if its advertised then I really don't know.
Hey Matthew thanks for the review.. im looking for a 2in 1 laptop to do heavy work on it like video editing ext n digital art which one do i go for ? Please help
I had this, the battery sucks like you said, about 2-3 hours average. I sent mine back because the bottom of the laptop melted a plastic folder by watching UA-cam. Yes, it gets that hot!
@@mohamadelassaad2087 If you don't mind integrated graphics & a smaller screen, I would get the 14 or 13 inch model. I have the 13 inch model now. The 16 inch looks quite promising though.
@@mohamadelassaad2087 Yes. They keyboard can get uncomfortably hot. In art class at school, the bottom of the laptop melted a thin plastic folder. I have had two units & they both have the same problem. I see reviews online & they don't seem too bad. From my experience, I wouldn't buy another one. You could change the thermal profile to cool so it doesn't get hot but the fans are always loud. If you are buying one, make sure there is a guarantee so you can get a refund if it is too much of a problem. You never know, I might have just had two unlucky laptops.
As someone who bought a hp spectre x360 about 3 years ago, the battery life might be 3hrs when it's NEW but that certainly isn't the case after a few years. I literally can't get half an hour.
I'm hearing mixed reviews about this laptop and don't know what to do with the one I have. I think I am still able to return it and don't know if it would be worth it to keep it.
I love mine (spectre x360 13) it seems to have gotten better with age! I don’t have issues with a loud fan anymore and battery life is actually pretty decent. I’ve had it for a few months
Already got my xps 13 on the way 11th gen CPU HP spectre I had ran too hot for me , and when I used super cool profile it gimped the cpu so badly it would stutter just scrolling webpages. The OLED screen though :-) Everyone should own at least one OLED 4K screen in their lifetime. Gorgeous watching 4k videos on youtube.
Why do they insist on making the palmrest so small, might as well use a taller display and hence a squarer design that allow for more palm space like a Surface/Macbook/XPS 15in, win-win
watching you from my new hp spectre 15 exactly like yours but i noticed after you flip it that your vent holes are bigger and you have 3 vents in the back that mine does not have. do you think i got a fake hp? and glad you you said it takes 3 hrs from 100 because mine is the same. it didnt make it for the 16 hrs they promised.
I got my xps 13 11th gen arriving around oct 20. If it boils my balls while on my lap , it's getting returned. I had the spectre 13 OLED , gorgeous screen , but it runs way too hot I was able to get it to cool down a little but I was still within return window I just want a "LAP" top that doesn't burn my "LAP" or cook my balls. I could get a cooling pad , but WHY buy a thin and lite and get a cooling pad? Might as well get a beefy 15 inch thick boy with proper cooling. The new XPS allegedly had some cooling improvements. I'll find out soon enough.
Matt i want to buy a gaming laptop with a good gpu like 1070,1080 or even rtx 2060 / gtx 1660, but over here gaming laptops are way to expensive, i have a $900 laptop right now with a gtx 1060 and i5 8300h , 8gb ram, 512gb storage and can run any game i want.. but its in a bad shape right now not working, etc etc.. i want to buy another laptop but its too expensive as i said, but computers are way too big for me, im ALWAYS travelling and need something i can put in my big suitcase.. any ideas? small cases that can give me alot of power for cheap? if i had a PC with the same specs as my laptop it would be half the price..
Its a really gorgeous laptop and I want to keep seeing this design but a few things need to be tweaked first! What do you guys think? Hit me up on discord.gg/mattmoniz if you have any questions!
i just think that the presence of the xps 15 neutralizes it pretty much
It truely is beautiful but asus zenbook takes the cake with gen 11.
Battery life should have been the main focus of this video since its sooooo poor. Work on that.
Your recommendation should have been a hard no on this at the end of your video.
Not really this is a convertible XPS 15 is not
Wish it had a bigger touchpad since both the palm rest and touchpad are just too small for your typical scrolling. My Yoga C940 14 has a bigger touchpad than this lol. You can fix the performance loss btw with with Throttlestop disabling and locking turbo boost to 45w watt TDP. Also, have you tried HDR?

For basic office work and data analysis, it easily lasts more than 1 day. Read the Best Buy reviews and you will see other people praising its battery life...

To clarify for others who read this comment, the review model is a higher-end model with much more power demanding 10750H processor. The battery measurements in the review is accurate.

"3 hours of battery life is unacceptable." Mean while I am on my Mac Book Air from 2010 that only gets 2 hours.
You still have 2hours of life after 10 years...?
Reason why he only got 3-5 hours battery is because his HP Spectre x360 has nvidia graphics card which is a dedicated one. You will never get 15-19 hours battery with a dedicated graphics card.
@@tseyksuli4541 of course you will. At least 10 hours. Many laptops have integrated GPU+discrete GPU and they switch when needed. But 3h30 of battery is totally unacceptable.
@@melomaniakjm not really, laptops with discrete gpu will never get 10 hours even if it uses intel HD. It will only last 3-5 hours max. Since nvidia gpu is consuming power even if laptop uses intel HD as main gpu. The nvidia is stil powered with electricity from battery. So please don't come here and say you can get 10 hours with a laptop having both intel HD and nvidia since that is not true.
My laptop doesn't even turn on without being plugged in
I purchased the Spectre x360 with 4k UHD a couple of months ago as a replacement for my primary laptop. I upgraded from an 8 year old ACER so I think almost anything would have been an improvement. So far as the battery life is concerned, I can get out about 5 hours with normal usage. If I'm doing something more intense such as photo editing, the life drops considerably, but in any case, no where near the 17 hours HP advertises. I also think the webcam is horrible, especially in low light situations. I wound up buying an external cam. So far, however, I am satisfied with my purchase and with it's performance, although if I had to do it over, I would have gone with the Dell XPS-15. But so far it has handled everything I have thrown at it.
Hi, I'm thinking of buying the ssme laptop. Since you've posted this, has there been anything else that you've notice or uncomfortable with. 11 months later, how has it held up so far, any glitching or display issues? Any issues with battery? Do let me know please
How does it perform with raw photo editing ?
I miss when laptops had DVD drives.
Yes. Me too
Who tf still use dvd
@@lizxu322 Who the fuck ask questions like that. The person only said he miss laptops with dvd.
You can add one on this laptop ;)
I definitely agree. I still like to occasionally watch dvds on my old laptop.

I purchased this new HP Spectre x360 15 last month, but I specifically chose the model with the IPS screen and U-processors over the higher-end configuration Matt reviewed here. And honoustly, I am 100% satisfied with my purchase! The processor doesn't throttle, because of it's lower TDP the heat management is waaay better (the fans are almost always off) and the IPS screen is also more efficient than a power hungry OLED screen. I find the battery life to be amazing: I streamed 3 hours of Netflix with the brightness set at 50% last night, and it only consumed 18% of battery life. So if you're not doing very intensive tasks, I truly recommend this laptop with the "lower" configuration :-)
In that case, the advertised battery life seems legit
I have the 2019 model of it (u series), and i too agree with that the ips screen is much more efficient, i can get 8-10hrs of school work done with 50% brightness.
The tiger lake has an intel evocore certification regarding battery life and boot up etc. The tiger lake is also 16:10 which means more room for keyboard/trackpad and has integrated XE graphics which will ensure longer battery life than what Matt got with his. After all with a 70Wh battery I might also be expecting some good duration for the battery. It might be worth a further review.
Mine is getting to hot, what can I I do please
What is the quality of the web camera? Are the colors true?
i have this laptop, bought it for design work, and tobe honest, it handles photoshop and illustrator(especially) well, i optedd for mx250 geforce (to save money) since both photoshop nad illutrator are primarily CPU and memory intensive apps. another reason is so i can pair it with a eGPU (which I have done)... and it works great. With just 2 cables (power and tb3) i boosted the power of this little laptop. There are a few things to work out, since i wanna game on it too, but other than that, I am happy. My gripes are, there is no place to hold the pen (not that big of a deal) and it seems the cooling takes way too long to cool it down other than that pretty happy. Also looks baller in any setting :D
Finally the review i wanted to see
I get the choose wisely. That battery life alone would drive me crazy
@Neal Queen how much does it give you nowadays?
@@blade4174 I've only been able to get 5-6 hours of battery life.. and in that time I was editing videos, uploading videos. Organizing photos and browsing the web

Great video. Straight to the point, and let me know what I didn’t think I needed to know
i have the 2019 model 15" with i7 10510u 10hrs of battery life easy, with the 4k screen as well. love the laptop.
Edit: Update, now i have the 2020 model with 10750h, + 1650 ti max q, battery is 8-9hrs with the ips, and my cinebench R23 score is 7030, feel like the early bios was shit in the review sample he had
Sounds great!! I was considering the 2020 ASUS ZENBOOK though.
yeah the 2019 model was great. The 2020 model just sucks
@@harpreetsinghtoor315 if i want to buy this now which model should i buy? How good is the performance? What bout battery life
alif durjoy hmm I’m not too sure about the current line up but from what the video shows, definitely don’t buy this model. If you don’t mind last years one, then yes buy that. It’s worth the money. Only thing is it will have an 8th gen processor as compared to a 10th gen. But again you should do some of your own research into the matter
Bryan Shaw if you’d want a gaming centred laptop then this isn’t it. This is more of a productivity laptop
My main issue with it and when selling it at Best Buy is that I've had returns on the issue that it overheats. I've had at least 5 different ones come back because of overheating issues. I'll sell it if the customer truly wants it, but other then that I typically steer clear of it now.
Bought mine new from Best Buy when I went back to school a year and a half ago. Battery is shot, because I constantly had to charge it. I had hours of school work to do, and the battery life was not ever long enough. Overheats and one speaker has already gone out. Screen flickers and goes black in the middle of assignments. It’s a bummer. It’s so pretty and I had such high hopes for it.

Can't imagine anything more disappointing than getting an i7 with a dedicated GPU that sucks at video editing
I have this laptop 16gb ram, cost $2,000. I love it and the gaming is really good. I played call of duty warzone. For sure I will try out a video editing software.
@Adnan Manna works perfectly. I recommend
it doesn’t suck at video editing AT ALL. i switched from macbook pro to this spectre 1TB/gtx/16ram so i could run FL simultaneously, faster. and it out performs apple and surface in nearly every category. with a great pen and 4k touch screen … truth is, a laptop with these same specs from apple would be over 4 grand.
Thanks for this video, I was really considering this laptop based on some other reviews and because it looks great, but I had to actually go back and make sure you said 3 hours when referring to the battery. For $1800, having a 3 hour life is pathetic to say the least and HP saying 17 hours is just blatant false advertising.
The below-base clock underclocking is also unbelievable.
That’s bc of the graphic card he’s using, according to one of the comments
Is there any laptop would you recommend?
Hi, I have my eyes on this one, but your review is making me doubt. Which is a good thing! I am wondering what the best alternative is to this laptop? 2-in-1 15 inch? Thanks
Probably surface book 15. It costs a LOT but comes with at least 16GB, you can use screen as tablet and has more powerful GPU with [if this review is anything to go by] surprisingly similar CPU performance. If llenovo c940 he showed is available in your region with dedicated graphics that might be best option to save some money [and if it has wacom might have better pen as well].
Thank you for your honesty. Man I almost bought this. Whew!
Thanks for talking about the PWM. Too many reviewers overlook it when talking about displays.
You're very welcome! I usually only talk about it when its present, mostly OLED displays.
I don't need any laptop as I've bought a MacBook pro just recently and it's working fine ....
But I had almost made my mind to buy hp spectre x360 today after watching some ads and just casually checking out a sponsored review....
Thankyou for changing my mind ❣😂
Since I use my laptops plugged in like 98% of the time, and only use them for very short periods unplugged, I don't have a problem with a short battery life. For me, a laptop battery's main purpose is to keep the machine from immediately shutting down if the cord gets unplugged causing me to lose work. Three hours works for that. I also don't mind the performance being a little lower than other laptops because I was able to get this particular laptop at a massive discount. But what is the biggest concern for me is some people reporting online that it might not work at all with some VR headsets. When I use VR, I don't need my settings maxed out: I just need something that's good enough at VR to be playable. Would this work for that purpose?
thanks for the review- I returned 3 HP and 1 Dell laptop because of a webcam issue- 2 Elite books and a Spectre 13.3 inch. I am waiting for the Spectre 16 inch or Elite book Dragon Fly max- I understand they have 5 mega pixel cameras.. Still not available in India though...
Well, I don't know what or how you tested, but my results are a bit, a way bit better than you are complaining about. Heat? No problem, battery life, my daughter worked on it with graphics ( the latest Paintshop Pro version), with the music on and stuff kids do while multitasking, for 6 hours and the battery has approx. 40% left. The vents are doing steady and no alarming noise or things that could be annoying where noticed. Now, what Spectre I tested: Hp Spectre x360 convertible 15-eb0100nd. That has the 10th generation Intel I-7 , 1 GB soliddrive, 16 Gb Ram, NVidia Geforce MX-330 2 GB etc.
I think the best 2 in1 available on the market yet. Now, I can't compare it with my Envy, that one is tagged about $1100 higher in price.. and isn't a 2 in 1 either..
I purchased this laptop about four months ago. I'm not a gamer, not a video person, just needed a laptop with beaucoup storage for beaucoup documents. My only complaint is the weight, it's a little heavy. Very sleek, great aesthetics.
How is the front camera & the sound?
I CANT BUY IT, THE STICKERS ARE OFF, AHHHHHH
I have this exact model of this laptop. I went with the OLED screen for better colour accurate as I am a photographer. You do make a trade off with this screen as I read several reviews where people were saying that the battery life with OLED screen was worse than with LED. I use this as a student as well and for gaming. I love my spectre and wanted the 2 in 1 for tablet mode for taking notes and reading. I haven't honestly used it a lot yet and might get a small, cheap tablet just for reading because with the 15" screen, it's a bit awkward to use. That being said, I adore the screen. The computer is really fast and never unresponsive. The battery life is only thing I would change. You can change screen and battery settings to make it last longer though. It will be interesting to see how it fares when I am back in a university setting from class to class. Luckily, it doesn't take long to charge so that's a plus when dealing with a battery that dies quick.
I agree with the sensation your hands are out of the keyboard, also that it is very conservative on heat management.
Sorry am late I was outside. Nice video Matthew! 👍
3 hours? I think they can count on a lot of returns. What good is a 3 hr laptop? Good review.
Thanks for the detailed review. I was about to but this laptop but the PWM flickering just won't do it for me. Also the battery life is awful, I have watched the 13" & 14" reviews and looks like they are way better. Such a shame for such a beautiful machine - like beauty without brains lol. I hope HP does something to sort out the problems otherwise this might be one of the worst rated laptops in 2021.
I've bought 3 different hp laptops over the course of the last 15 years and they all sucked. Everyone of them had thermal issues. After about 8 years of not even considering an hp, I decided to buy last year's spectre model for my daughter since the reviews were so good. It got hot as soon as we started it up. I immediately wanted to send it back but it was a Christmas present that I purchased 2 months in advance. After8 months of use, even after trying to repaste it, the fans sound like a jet engine. I have a 4 year old Dell XPS that still works great and doesn't get hot and I've been able to upgrade the ram to 32G and update the SSD to a Samsung Evo. Works like it's new

Great video, almost bought it today but now seeing the video I'm confuse on what to buy, what about Dell? or stick to the envy?
I've had it for about 3 months it's a great laptop. battery life is a shambles but it charges super quick. depends what you want it for i guess
@@ollieseddon7740 Im thinking about buying one. Do you know if your model is the eb0010ca or the eb0003na? And about how long does your battery last?
I returned that laptop. It couldn’t keep up with me on Adobe. I’m a UA-camr too. You are right on point with the performance. It’s a great student laptop. Not for editing... The Dell XPS 15 9500 4K Frost White is so much better!! 👏🏼
But one problem is xos 15 isn't convertible. I also wanted to buy it but bad luck for me
The del looked creamy instead of white in word etc. Did you see that?
Is it better than HP elite book x360? What is the difference, except design?? Thank you!
Glad I watched this. Great review.
The hp 15 you did an unboxing of touchpad looks bigger than this one. I received my hp envy 15 today and I'm liking the large touchpad.
I as well like the large touch pad,, enjoy!
As a software engineer, I bought this machine for my new job, your final thoughts are spot on. I’m actually getting ready to return it and buy a different computer. I picked it up for its impressive specs/hardware, but when you try to do any kind of heavy computing and actually utilize that hardware, it gets incredibly hot. Your analysis is 💯
Thanks man! Sorry to hear its not going your way its a beautiful looking laptop though
@@MatthewMoniz agreed 100%. Amazing looking machine, I want to love it, but I just can’t.
What's the alternative you're planning to get ?
I bought a 13 inch about 2 months and I wish I had seen this review before. The one that I bought sucks! And I am not using it for video editing or anything like that. I wanted it for school. Just to do my papers and my classes online. About the third day that I started using it, I had to restart it and it took more than three hours to restart. It was also not opening apps like Cortana and it took forever to open windows. The search bar was not working and basically it was too slow. I thought it was my wifi connection but it wasn't. At the moment HP has it and they are reparing it. I had such a bad experience with their sales department and with the product. I needed something reliable and it let me down in the middle of my semester. I do not recommend this product to anybody!
Woah, I waited for this for so long at the beginning of the year. I finally got an HP Envy 15 for 1k. I'm so happy I didn't buy the Spectre. Dodged a bullet I guess,
I was about to buy a spectre and then went envy last minute 😁 thank God my gut feeling was right
Thanks for the review. Is it worth going for intel optane memory or the Nvme SSD is good enough.?
Even if it's the same price. Don't go for optane. It's useless since optane was created for regular HDDs. NVMe SSd M.2 should do just fine
I actually just bought this laptop.. now I'm now I'm not doing anything too crazy on it. I edit videos, watch UA-cam.. look at my photos.. type things up. It looks beautiful and feels very premium. I was using a 2018 HP 15.6 inch i3 laptop previously so this was a huge upgrade compared to that.

3 hours?! That's insane...... other reviewers are getting much more battery life. I genuinely love the look of the spectre and am considering to buy one but after watching your video I am scared. PLEASE get another unit and test that, I'll be extremely grateful...
@Shreshta Jaiswal I can get last years to go to 8 hours, but that's with a lot of customiztion to open programs and voltage tuning.
Look at other reviews
If I turn off my 4K screen I tend to get 8+hours from it
Is it just changing the resolution on Windows to 1080p. Thinking of getting this for my SO since she loves the design so if turning down the resolution helps battery life, I’ll feel better about getting this for her. She needs a laptop for work just itll just be stuff like excel and word mostly,
@@andya.6482 Maybe try the version without dedicated gpu? Since Excel and word are really lightweight
@@chia-haochou8102 yeah she doesn’t need the dedicated gpu for work, but she does use her old one a lot for streaming to I thought the 4K screen would be nice for her to have.
Can't beleive there is someone on this planet complaining about stickers placments and symmetry...
Well, one of my colleague have OCD. Everything have to be symmetrical. If he received his laptop with crooked stickers, he'll be freak out.
There’s two version of this laptop one with LCD screen and one with oled. The LCD is screen laptop maybe is the one with advertises 17 hours, as other reviews are showing close to 11 hours on the LCD version.

Whats the best laptop for music production and video editing, which also suits programing? I want an all rounder. Was gonna buy this laptop for the look and power, but sounds like it's not great on performance.
you want this computer but with 1tb ssd. homie doesn’t know what he’s talking about and hasn’t used it. he showed some reviews. i run FL and premier pro simultaneously with other apps running in the background. i still get 5+ hours from the battery, outperforms my 2016 macbook and my homies surface pro, which he also says are better. just a load of garbage. and the flicker under 50% brightness is also a straight up lie. idk what he’s reviewing here bc it’s nothing like my spectre i7 gtx
I just bought this in the black friday sale, waiting for it to arrive.. I will be using it for getting into video editing so I am in pain to hear you say the performance is poor. Is there anything I can do to mess with the specs in anyway? The battery life doesnt concern me but agreed that is pretty poor

Thanks again!
After researching ALLL of so many laptops, I learned a lot about ram, processing speed, resolution, etc. I have 4 Dells one is desk top, an Acer, 3 HP's. And a MacBook air. None work, but HP 's, which the tops have broken from the hinges,, so I do like that the Spectra has a slight wedge like space that allows easy lifting of the screen.. The screen is crystal clear with the Oled, and I Love love the backlight, its nice and bright not over powering. The case and stylus adds added pleasure for me, as I have a little time to purchase a case. So, I suggest, get out and see, feel, for yourselves, because everyone has different interests and nit picks, that may not be your concern, such as, the stickers on the laptop...bahahahaaaa, I paid that absolutely no attention. But that's me,, shoulders hunch. I needed a speed, ram, durability, clear screen with glare protection as I wear eyeglasses, backlight as I teach and learn, using my laptop so I liked the cutesy color which will cause me to use more frequently. I did like the HP 15 Envy, it is a great choice as well, however I think the Spectra had the i7 processor and not the Envy, with it, still not bad but not Cute, oh, and I like that the Spectra is a 2 in 1, also has the camera slide, not the right terminology, but hey, I suggest you go to a good store with a knowledgeable sales representative, and tell them what YOU WANT,...worked for me, or there is return, repurchase. I within my home, HP's or the MacBook air haven't let me down. MacBook is cool as fan on any day!, just not mine, and It doesn't have a ten key pad, and I don't favor the scroll on it, or the resolution, those are my nit picks about it,, again, that's me..Happy shopping!....GREAT REVIEW, WATCH! I'll have to see about this battery life, though I did follow the directions that says to plug it in, before turning it on, and I let it stay charging. You know, when you get new electronics, you supposed to let them fully charge, to "guarantee " quality battery life. I don't know, ill update us, I'm curious as well. Oh, I did see a review on Amazon, where one was delivered damaged screen. This made me leary, however, return, is on my side, so ill keep that thought in mind, about the flicker, but I'm getting ready to enjoy it,...until next time....
They shouldn't decrease the depth. They should increase it. Depth is important for ergonomics. This is just way too cramped in terms of depth. That's why moving to 3:2 is such a great change
Oh how I loved how matter-of-factly and succinctly you stated the true 3 hour battery life compared to the absolute trash of a lie HP listed "17 hour, 59 Minute" time where they sit it on the BIOS update screen for the duration.
Which is the best the Envy or the Spectre . I live in Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺.
Ty for ur recommendation ✅
Shame,you said the 2019 model was the battery king, how did they mess this up
They have been producing spectres for three years and for three years they did not bother to put in more than 16GB RAM. Shame.
? Literally have the 16 gb version of the x360
First of all 16GB RAM is a solid number.
Second, they do have a 32GB version of the Spectre x360.
Third, it has been more than 3 years.
Fourth, If you didn't know any of this, you probably don't even need a pc with 32GB to begin with.

sorry bro, you musta got a lemon. i got the i7/16RAM/1TB/NVIDIA GTX , same one i believe you’re reviewing here… and it 100% outperforms macbook and surface, simultaneously running premier pro and FL Studio. and while downloading/updating/installing background applications, i can still get 5hr out of the battery. also, you’re nitpicking with the stickers.. who cares? it’s the most appealing design of any 2 in 1 laptop, so much so that stickers can bother you since there’s nothing else bad to say.
Why don't you make review on Spectre X360 14"? It is in second place on theverge. I don't undestand, is it so bad?

Can you compare this laptop with the Macbook Pro M1?

I think you might have a bum model, or HP needs to do some firmware/driver updates. HP wouldn't advertise 17 hours and then only give you 3, they would get sued for false advertising. That and it doesn't make sense having a H processor and getting such poor performance.

Why do they insist on making the palmrest so small, might as well use a taller display and hence a squarer design that allow for more palm space like a Surface/Macbook/XPS 15in, win-win
I got the same laptop in Canada but non optane and I can confirm the battery absolutely sucks. It's honestly disappointing
I have the 13 inch Hp spectre with oled display and and the battery life is alright (it came upto 7 hours watching netflix)
watching you from my new hp spectre 15 exactly like yours but i noticed after you flip it that your vent holes are bigger and you have 3 vents in the back that mine does not have. do you think i got a fake hp? and glad you you said it takes 3 hrs from 100 because mine is the same. it didnt make it for the 16 hrs they promised.
Hold on your preorder and wait for 11th gen CPU. There’ll be plenty to choose around October and November
I got my xps 13 11th gen arriving around oct 20.
If it boils my balls while on my lap , it's getting returned.
I had the spectre 13 OLED , gorgeous screen , but it runs way too hot
I was able to get it to cool down a little but I was still within return window
I just want a "LAP" top that doesn't burn my "LAP" or cook my balls.
I could get a cooling pad , but WHY buy a thin and lite and get a cooling pad? Might as well get a beefy 15 inch thick boy with proper cooling.
The new XPS allegedly had some cooling improvements. I'll find out soon enough.
Please tell me more it is November. Why is it better?
Advertised 17 hours of battery life but in reality it gives 3 hours and 22 mins. That's next level puffery
I've been able to get 5-6 hours of battery life max just on regular setting. But yeah the 17 hour is a bunch of BS lol
Any chance you might be reviewing the latest 14" 11th gen with i7 Evo (1165G7)?
Matt i want to buy a gaming laptop with a good gpu like 1070,1080 or even rtx 2060 / gtx 1660, but over here gaming laptops are way to expensive, i have a $900 laptop right now with a gtx 1060 and i5 8300h , 8gb ram, 512gb storage and can run any game i want.. but its in a bad shape right now not working, etc etc.. i want to buy another laptop but its too expensive as i said, but computers are way too big for me, im ALWAYS travelling and need something i can put in my big suitcase.. any ideas? small cases that can give me alot of power for cheap? if i had a PC with the same specs as my laptop it would be half the price..
