The main reason many students buy 2 in 1s is to use them for note taking using stylus and you just completely overlooked that part like most other youtubers. Please try to include the stylus experience like latency and palm rejection when you review a 2 in 1 because that's probably the most practical use of a touch screen laptop. Like you said, no one wants a 16 inch tablet, they buy it to use as a note taking device which can run a proper pc OS.
The pen works well, I have the HP one, charges using USB C, very responsive. A good feature is it works with Microsoft MPP2 compatible pens like the ones on the surface so you may be able to get a cheaper equivalent. The keyboard is amazingly nice to type on.
@@rahilarious you actually take in information better when it's written rather than typing. Most professors and students agree on this. And that's what works for me
For someone with chronic fatigue this laptop. Changed my life, carrying it around to different places, being able to work lying in bed , it got me a new job . I can only thank you hp for producing such a nice product I’ve truly enjoyed it and it’s been 5 years
THANK YOU for mentioning Halo Infinite’s performance on this computer. Most reviews I’ve seen for graphics cards and laptops that show game performance don’t include Halo (occasionally they do show the average FPS of MCC, but not Infinite). I’ve heard it’s not the most optimized game on PC so I’m always unsure how well a computer I’m looking at is going to run it
The screen wobble when you touch the screen in laptop mode would drive me nuts... I've seen reviews where the screen wobbles when typing on a desk. I'll stick with regular strong laptop hinges and avoid the convertible gimmick.
just say you can't afford it instead of making up excuses. as for gimmick, convertibles have been around for over a decade and every big Windoes laptop makers has one. bet you feel pretty stupid right about now...lol
I am literally watching from my Precision 5530 2-in-1 (XPS 2-in-1 15" 9575 equivalent). Not seeing Dell come out with an updated model has me frustrated and my machine is an 8th gen. As of today, it looks like there's a 12th gen option in the x360 now.
I bought this and plan to use it to edit PDFs. I did not see anything in your review about the pen and "writing" on the screen. Can you comment on the pen and is this a good laptop for editing PDFs? I plan to mark them up, save them and email them to colleagues.
As someone who has this laptop, don't get it, the screen rubs on the chasis, gets covered in scratches from that and general use of the stylus, it gets concerningly hot when charging, battery lasts maybe 2 hours, and the stylus is pretty unresponsive
Is the entire case made of aluminum (or some sort of metal), or is it metal sandwiched in plastic? I have the ZBook x360 and love it - I believe it's magnesium.
Thanks for the thorough presentation. I am also looking for something very portable. For 4K-5K video editing in davinci and large video exports, would you rather go with this one or with lenovo yoga pro 9i 32GB RAM ? (If macbook is not an option)
I have i7 pavillion 360, it is very very usefull in music making where i use bigger screen for the playlist window and bottom laptop screen as mixer window. Where i touch faders through touch screens.
I'd love to see a poll of how many people are actually using these things as tablets. I used to have a Lenovo Yoga 11S with only an 11.6" screen. It still felt unwieldy to use in tablet mode for leaning back and reading, etc. Now, I could see this having value as a drawing tablet.
I use tablet mode to put on piano and read notes while playing music, I can also bend laptop 270 degrees so I can put it over the steering wheel while watching movie in the car, I can also hold it up more easily while in tablet mode and using it in bed.
@@RK-um9tu With something that size, it would be crazy. I at least had hope that my 11.6" Windows tablet could be a good substitute for an iPad, but it really wasn't.
Why I love the spectre x360 17' is because of the numeric keys, but now they've removed it. Must hp try and copy apple? We accountant we need laptop that has numeric keys that's why we always choose hp products but 👎🏽

@@jjlatinopedia awesome, Just keep it updated all drivers and softwares you won't face any issue Sometimes Microsoft sends an update which doesn't match with the drivers for this tablet format , so you need to update drivers as well. Laptop is fantastic

What an 11th gen in 22 while the current version of other manufactures have 12th gen that are more efficient? Who is paying top $ for last years stuff?
I have searched for that same thing on this PC too. But.... after weeks of other 2-1 reviews & research I went to HP website & customized my own with 32gb ram & 2tb with 13th gen Intel i7 12 core processor & OLED screen.

Warning, Warning Troll Alert. Funny how trolls find problems that no tech reviewer or tech publication reports AND never reached out for tech support to solve these "problems". They just spend a thousand plus dollar on a product, say the product is trash, and instead of doing anything to solve the "problems" they would rather find a UA-cam channel to post over-the-top negative comments...lol
*You NEED to mention in title and description that this is a year-old model and NOT the 2022 refresh people are very eagerly waiting for.* Disliked for deliberate dishonesty.
I have one, really wanted to love it. But the trackpad is just GARBAGE! And the battery life is even worse than I expected (And I knew it would be bad).
Warning, Warning, Troll Alert. Troll lies about products that they don't own. All tech reviews that use standardized battery test (PCMark 10 and continuous video loop) report over 12-13 hours on the non-OLED and 7-8 hours on the OLED Spectre. Also, the track pad on this Spectre has been highly praised for using Microsoft percusion drivers. Funny how trolls post all these problems, but NEVER say they returned the laptop or reached out for tech assistance from the manufacture or store.
@@RK-um9tu Except I do own this laptop. Way to spew crap though. I tried to post a picture of my name and your name with the laptop but apparently UA-cam doesn't allow that because it keeps getting removed. There are countless threads on Reddit about trackpad issues and those of us getting 4-6 hours of battery life with this exact laptop (Real world usage, not synthetic).
First of all, I have used this for 1 year (15 inch) and let me tell you from my own personal experience. If you care about your money, DONT BUY!!! If you do not want to wake up one day and find that the screen has cracked and the replacement will cost more than 45% of the original cost of the Laptop. Very poor sound Worse Battery Overheating or getting super hot Can not even edit 1080 clips smoothly, not good for simple vloging It is a nice looking but poor quality and performance Laptop. if you really wan the best for your money, go get the M1 MacBook. I never used Mac and always hesitated because I have used Windows for more than 20 years. I still use a Windows Desktop PC that I setup myself, but the M1 Macbook Pro is just a life saver in so many aspects. You'll thank me later.
Your statement holds no credit once you said "wake up one day and find that the screen has cracked". Screens don't break by themselves. This laptop that you are commenting on also has pretty good sound and doesn't get hot at all (I own this exact laptop that is being reviewed, not a year old model like yourself).

did you buy it brand new ?
how long can it last with a game playing and no power plugged in?

Share the benchmark results (Geekbench and PCMark 10). We don't need you to spend 3 mins talking about the Gem cut design, we can see it...
want me to do it for you? if you send me links I can do it since I have one
What does he say at 3:03 , "there is no path refresh rate screen"?
Is the camera webcam reliable on this laptop?
Almost the perfect large ultraportable if it had a 4K 120hz OLED with RTX3060 switchable graphics.
Samsung does not yet make laptop 120Hz OLED, but you can get miniLED 120Hz on a number of laptops this year if you want HDR gaming on mobile.
It's big and it's 'beautiful'.. and the up & down arrow keys still suck.

Why an 11th gen Intel CPU in 2022? Odd choice for what seems to be the top end Spectre. Should have a 12th gen IMO.
Because 12th Gen does not have good battery life and their single core scores are not very different from 11th Gen.
