      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

    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.

    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.

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 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 :-)

      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

      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].

    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?

    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 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!

    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.

    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.

    Switch the video from 4k to 1080 and you'll see how long that battery really lasts. And the overall performance will also improve. I'm surprised you did even try that.

      Ugh, thank you for this! I was wondering why my battery was getting drained so quick.

      @@sharminsultana2173 I have the high end version 13-aw00023dx (13" 2020). I love it when it's not overheating, and the battery isn't getting drained within 3 hours. This battery tip from Vic has worked wonders. Also, I realized that I had A LOT of programs running that caused the comp to get a little hot. And when I say hot, I don't mean that it gets obnoxiously hot. You can place it on your lap with no problem, but it feels really warm to the touch. In my opinion, this is hands down the best 2 in 1 for the money. Hope that helps :)

    Your comparison charts aren't consistently comparing the Spectre to the same competition products.
