- A review of the HP Spectre x360 15-eb0001na premium 15.6" 4K OLED laptop
The HP Spectre x360 convertible is the pinnacle of HP’s premium range of prosumer laptops. The 2020 model has slimmer bezels, a smaller webcam unit, new GTX graphics options and naturally Intel 10th Gen processors. Is it enough to make it a flagship laptop? Let’s see if it’s worth an Archer.

This is one of the most professional reviews I've seen on this laptop. Fantastic job!
Thanks, really appreciate it 👍
Amazing review! Showing off great aspects and some bad aspects. Not to mention showing the competition. It shows that you value that people buy the right laptop for them. I had my eye on the Spectre for a while but I now realize that the Asus Zenbook pro duo is just what I needed! This video really guided me, thank you!
best review channel I have came across! keep it up man.
Wow, thanks!
Hands down the best review I've seen in a very long time .. very good quality content ..
Really appreciate that. It takes a lot of hard work to get each video out! 👍
@@Dovecomputers yeah dude I agree .. hp should be paying you for this .. I bought one seeing your review ..
The 4k Display on it...is just love!
On point
Excellent. This is what a review should be like. Btw, now they have the 15 inch version with the tiger lake processer and intel Xe graphics. Hopefully it has better battery life and thermal performance. I am waiting for some reviews before buying it.
Thanks! As soon as its out (Tiger Lake) we'll get our hands on some laptops with it. 👌
Cool video bro keep up
Good review. Just one thing, only the type c usb on the corner is a thunderbolt on the 15 inch model. At least that is the case for the models in the US, Australia & NZ.
Why do CZcamsrs always (low-key) market Apple devices into Windows reviews? Last time I checked MBs don't have:
1. touch screen,
2. pen support,
3. 4k display,
4. 2-in-1 design,
5. 180-degree screen,
6. MicroSD card read,
7. number pad,
8. face recognition
9. upgradability, etc.
MBs are not alternatives to HP Spectres. People want 2020, not 2010, hardware...lol
Finally, why not review HP Spectres with a U-series chip?
HP don't offer U-series CPUs on their Spectre range.
We don't have the U option in the UK. Tends to be the H CPU's or the 1165G7 variants.
very nice laptop i even decided to by this for college the design and graphics is just ...
i liked your question "what other laptops to look for?" haha well im in an HP spectre 25 laptop review and obviously i searched the term to be in this review. so yes i am looking for HP spectre hehe
Hello, do you know how to fix the sleep mode problem when connected with the monitor as 2nd display? Whatever the sleep time mode I select, once it reach and go to sleep mode, the screen never wake up until it is restarted.
Great review, even better that it’s UK relevant! Any idea on when the 11th gen i7 version of this laptop will be out? I’m ready to purchase this but wanted to get this latest version.
Thanks. The 11th Gen versions (i5-1135G7/i7-1165G7) are already out on the HP Store with the 13.3" and new 14" 3:2 models. The 15.6" models will be out in Feb 2021. If you waiting on the 11th Gen H-series, the Tiger Lake H35 CPU's you will be waiting two to three months. 👍
@@Dovecomputers any update on the 11th gen H series spectre x360 15?
Yes I just bought the 11th Gen i7 version 15.6" 16GB/512gb will be delivered to me tomorrow. I am getting over excited already that's why I came here, lol . can't wait to lay my hands on this beast.
@@Chopmoney5823 happy with the iris xe? Doubt it...
I'll go for the 2020 model...
Im just wondering! Isn't it a little to much LAG for gaming with high settings? It was looking to be lag in the video! Sorry it's not to be complaining but u want to know?
💚💚💚
which software are u using to record your laptop screen
Mixture of XBOX Game Bar screen capture and Screen-O-Matic 👍
you all prolly dont care but does someone know a way to log back into an Instagram account..?
I was dumb forgot my account password. I love any tips you can offer me.
@Mason Rhys instablaster =)
@Zev Sergio Thanks so much for your reply. I found the site on google and I'm in the hacking process atm.
Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Zev Sergio It did the trick and I now got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D
Thanks so much, you really help me out :D
What a great and professional review. I have to decide which laptop i watn to buy for studying. and am curious which one you would recommend. I am deciding between the ne Asus Zenbook Flip SW (UX371) and this one.
Would really appreciate your help! Thanks in advance!
Thanks. Would love to get my hands on the Zenbook Flip to review. The Spectre x360 is pretty special. Waiting to get hold of the 3 by 2, 14 inch version for review. 👍
@@Dovecomputers thanks for your answer. I think I will go with the HP Spectre X360 15. Really like the fact that it has a real graphic card. Besides I need it for studying but like to watch netflix on it so 16:9 is the better ratio to go with. Just isn't easy to decide between this and the new flip🙏
Good review. I have two questions:
1. Can we continue working on the same files as we use the 360 hinge?
2. Is there any other convertible laptop having better display than this for eye comfort?
Thanks. 1) Yes 2) Yes, there is a non OLED 4K model of the Spectre x360. Although no problem using the OLED for long hours.
Thank you for your revert. I am currently using Macbook Pro early 2015 and I am facing a lot of glare as I just wiped off all its uneven anti-glare coating. I hope glare is not an issue with OLED Hp spectre and also that its anti-reflective coating would not come off just like Macbook’s did after two years of purchase..
In the past I have thought you might have gone a little easy on HP, this time I would have to dissagree. This laptop is designed for a specific type of user, a director, site general manager, or other executive level user. Clearly the design and display are most important here. I would argue based on the specs battery life is surprisingly good. A MSI gaming laptop with similar specs gets only about one hour on its battery. Also I would venture to guess that most users of this machine would not be road warriers anyway, so a docking solution of some kind would almost always be used, making the number of ports and types excellent. But that MSI gaming laptop with almost identical specs is under $1000, making this twice as much. So for the average user, or power user this laptop is a no go. But in the C Suite, this laptop would be sweet.
What 2 in 1 Laptop you consider is the best for using it with an extern monitor. Is there any 2 in 1 Laptod what can handle couple of taps opend, skyp, word and other things at the same time and perform good. Because it looks like for me that this model wouldnt handle it well.
I need the 2 in 1 Laptop for university, cutting videos but not for gaming.
Thanks for you time and you videos are brilliant.
Sorry when there some speeling mistakes.
The HP Spectre x360 will happily do what you need with plenty of performance. Most laptops will connect to an external monitor. The Dell Inspiron 13 7306 2-in-1 in my recent review shows that this is a very good 2-in-1 laptop. The 15 inch version is excellent too, especially the one with the Iris Xe Max graphics.
I would like to start off by saying this was the best review I have seen of the hp spectre! I do have one question, would you recommend configuring it with the 1 TB PCIe® NVMe™ M.2 SSD
or the 1 TB Intel® SSD + 32 GB Intel® Optane™ memory
? I would be using the laptop for everyday browsing, youtube, Microsoft office as well as adobe lightroom and photoshop.
Thanks. Definitely the 1TB with Intel Optane will give you that extra 'boost'. 👍
"Runs battlefield V at 79 fps"
*Shows it running at 3 fps*
Nice in depth review! I like the data reported for performance, but I really am wondering about those choppy rendering clips haha
Caught me! Didn't optimise the laptop to run at full performance settings before recording the footage. 😉
Hi is there a particular setting to get the best from this laptop for video and graphics. Not sure if its me but the 4k oled screen didn't scream out unless there's a setting to get the best out of, if so please let me know thanks
@@cncmedia1461 assuming you have the gtx 1650 ti model, install Nvidia geforce experience and update your graphics driver, open Nvidia control panel and select your Nvidia card as your preferred rendering device, open the hp control center and select the "optimized" or "heavy cpu load" modes, and possibly change your battery settings from "performance preferred" to "best performance". You can also change the screen color configuration by right clicking on the desktop.
@@relariistheparadox221 thanks Phillip will give it a shot.
I was wondering about that.
The pen is quite bad, the handwritten notes come out terrible. The area for resting the palm is quite less, making it bit uncomfortable to type. And yes it heats, even for light usage, i always have to rest it on my cooling pad. It is a very good laptop nonetheless, but for the price, it should have been better.
I am thinking of HP Spectre 15 .6 " 1 TB, 16 GB 11th gen i7, would you recommend as worth investing?
That would be an awesome spec laptop 👍
@@deronmomanyi8254 me too!!! i am wondering if Amoled will be better than IPS, i wouldn't like to get burn in, anybody knows if this is still an issue out there?
Did any of those games not start stutter?
I'm a bit concerned about the heat. Should I wait for 15.6 inch OLED 11370H or 11375H until spring 2021 and go with built in Intel® Iris® Xe Graphics? I assume because of 28-35 Watt vs 35-45 Watt
there will be less heat generated and better battery life? I think there won't be any more dedicated graphic cards since Intel® Iris® Xe has improved performance.... please Give your opinion. Thanks
Will be interesting to see what the new Intel Tiger Lake-H35 CPU's will be like when they come out. Allowing the CPU to draw from a TDP range of 12 to 35 watts.
It's really to sad there isn't a 32gb memory option.
Alot of the competing laptops you mentions aren't even 2 in 1's....
Since SSD's are fast as hell, you can use them to expand the ram for big ass tasks
What gaming controller is best to use for the HP Spectre X360 4K laptop ?
Any PC compatible controller will work including the XBOX controllers. 👍
you sold me
Do you notice any dots? Many ppl including me seem to have this problem. Its called screen door effect
Yeah it affects Samsung AMOLED panels when you look up close at white backgrounds for example. Some people will notice it more than others. Hence why HP have a non AMOLED 4K version of the Spectre.
why does your gaming look so choppy?
Has anyone with this hp x360 computer been successful installing a new SSD? I have tried Samsung and Western Digital SSDs. Neither of them will show up in the BIOS or even diskpart. I think HP terminates the port for non-HP serviceable SSDs.
Hi.... It can be charged by usb type-C connector? Regards from Colombia 😃👍
Yes
So purdyyyy. I'm waiting for the new Intel 11th gen version to come out and then I will jump on it 🤓🤓🤓😍😍😍
I would. HP will be launching the 11th Gen models by the end of the year. 👌
@Stuxnet Cabal pickin mine up 2
Grabbed this on open box for 1199 usd at best buy. Box was still sealed and unit brand new
Bro are there any overheat issues on this laptop?? Does it bother the user.??
It does get very warm and hot in areas. You can reduce it with the HP Command Center but performance will be lowered.
Do u recommend this laptop or dell xps 13! I need a laptop for university please help me! I dont want the lap to get over heat or slow ..
The new Dell XPS 13 has the newer Intel 11th Gen processors, the Spectre will be out with their 11th Gen version next month. Tough choice!! 👌
@@Dovecomputers its really hard to pick one of these but id really like to know which one should i buy!
@@haiberzz3188 You must what your heart desires my boi. The time for wait is no. The time for act is yes. We was ready. We was willing. We. Are in control now. To seize the destiny.
Broh I’m getting this later this week I’m worried about the graphics specially after you showed a 3fps battlefield V gameplay. I need it for college but I still want to play light games on free time. Can you please put on some info about it
It's fine for gaming with the 1650Ti, the footage was recorded in battery mode so we didn't optimise it for the recording. 👍
@@Dovecomputers I'm going to be honest I have this laptop. You really should have reconsidered recording on performance mode. The difference between battery and plugged in mode is MASSIVE.
You said light games ? I play league on the highest specs , all shadows all everything with apps in the background at 60 fps capped easy. Multiple games in a row.
If I have the computer on battery mode the frame rate drops to 50 fps on medium .. it's a big difference. You can optimize your nvidia card settings and your thermal profile , network priorities, and power mode and you get amazing performance for a laptop that's obviously not a gaming laptop.
How hot would it get for casual, light gaming?
The Spectre does get warm even with general use or light gaming.
@@Dovecomputers a laptop that gets warm on light use can you imagine gaming or more this is a very bad flaw in the design my previous one never got as hot as the new ones why would anyone want to buy an expensive laptop like this with heat issues!
What do you all think of 4k wled vs amoled. I ordered one but it’s too late to change 😭
Didn't bother me with using the AMOLED daily, but I can see some people would be sensitive to this type of panel. Personally, I prefer the natural (true) 4K colours from a WVA (Watch my Dell Inspiron 13 7306 Review) or IPS panel (Watch my HP ZBook Studio G7 Review) as I use Adobe Creative Cloud programs. 👍
I am not accustomed with oled as the Samsung tv I have is 4k UHD and it’s beautiful so telling myself if it’s like that I would be happy as I never experienced oled to know what I am missing 🙈 thanks for the response
i have this laptop and battery life is around 4 hours MAX how did you manage to reach 6?
Battery life figures are always subjective as users will use it in different ways and also dependent on what battery settings are enabled. Six hours was general usage, browsing, emails, office work, streaming, listening to Spotify, etc. 👌
Dove Computer Solutions Ltd Correct, however i have done multiple battery callibatrion tests since i have called hp two times due to this same issue. The tests consist of entering the laptops bios settings and performing a memory test on loop until error(Which would only occur when the laptop completely discharges) during which the laptop does literally nothing except that singular test, and still manage only 4 hours to maybe 4:30. Would you consider this do be an issue worthy of return?(By your own criteria). Thanks for replying by the way!
Is the case aluminum or plastic?Thank you
CNC aluminium chassis 👍
@@Dovecomputers Thank you! That helped me a lot.
will be nice if using 16:10 aspect ration
The HP Spectre x360 14 has a 3:2 ratio display. The 15 is due out later this year. 👍
Why wouldn't they include an ethernet port?
There's a category of thin and light laptops that exclude things like ethernet ports aka Apple. Although my preference would be to have one available OR more ports on the Spectre x360.
If it was $200 or so less and didn't get so hot I'd buy it. Not sure how much if the heat is more attributable to the OLED screen or the Intel processor.
It's using a 'full fat' Intel H-series CPU along with the dedicated GTX 1650 GPU and compact dimensions, heat will be generated. Noticed the new 2021 models sport the lower wattage i7-1165G7 processor instead to compensate for this.
Spectra....
For 900$ would this be a steal?
If you can get it for that price, snap it up already!
Dove Computer Solutions Ltd I did it! I’m loving it so far
I am very hesitating to buy a Hp Spectre x360 15 , or Apple Macbook Pro 16 , for long term use , nice design , powerfull performances , video editing and some little gaming like League of Legends.
Hp Spectre cost : 2499€
Apple Macbook Pro : 2699€
(If i choose Macbook i will change configuration to i9, 32gb ram , AMD Radeon 8go(instead of his default i7,16 gb ram , AMD 4go) it will cost around 3774€)
Which one i must buy ?
Have you looked at the HP ZBook Create G7? I have a review of the twin model, the HP ZBook Studio G7 with Quadro GPU. (The Create G7 has a RTX 2070)

Damn, I hate that the keyboard letters are switched in this, don't know if its the US Keyboard or UK keyboard . You can check the position of the @ symbol. Damn (10:32)
