Former VAIO Duo 11 owner here. I'm more excited about the Spectre Folio than I have been any convertible in years. Love the battery life, love the materials, and LOVE the form factor.
for me the winner is hmm yeah it is a freaking Porsche.. aka Porsche Book 3200x1800 +500nits screen (SB2 is 360nits) and also better sRGB coverage then fx SB2 and other of the Surface line screen variants, and then you also get Wacom 4096 stulys on top, and not Ntrig + intel wireless that is way faster then fx SB2 in iperf-test on notebookcheck.. SB2 get 500mbps Porsche Book 650mbps. and build and hinge mech, no contest, + thunderbolt3 in the 7mm tablet section +50% bigger battery in tablet part then SB2 (25wh vs 18wh). Porsche Book should really make a vers2 as I was blown away by the vers1 side by side with SB2. ´way better then SB2 in build and screen and ports and 360 feature and the exact same touchpad as SB2. all the other 3-1 is mehh, though I do like what HP does with the folio 2-1 and real leather.. that will be nice to move around and touch. and on non ultrabooks My choice would go in direction of Asus Pro duo.
Microsoft and HP are killing it in terms of design lately. Microsoft seems to be the new Apple in many ways, which is great, imo. I have a Surface Pro 2017 and love it. But I've got to say HP is the more exciting in terms of design. They are really making stylish products that don't look like anything else on the market at all.
I really think MS and HP are getting along well. MS is definitely doing a great job of suggesting new form factors and setting up references, and HP is really doing good with building up on that.
I've always had a headache making a choice of which laptop to buy till I watched your videos. Slick detailing like a pro. Thanks for the great job and God bless you richly.
Lisa, I bought the HP Spectre Folio. The speakers are horrendous. No amount of audio tweaking rescues it. The trackpad is small, I thought I could live with it but it’s not adequate. Guys, stick to the Surface line.
Odd, the speakers are the best I've heard on a Spectre over the years. The trackpad is certainly small compared to other Spectre models, but as measured with the ruler, is nearly identical in size as the Alcantara Type Cover trackpad.
MobileTechReview at a $1,400 retail cost, it’s closest competitors are the MBP and Surface Laptop 2. I compared the speakers of the Folio with the Surface Laptop 2, the Folio sounded tinny and bass-less. There’s one more thing to mention, the Y series i7 is pretty bad. I saw noticeable lag on startup and heat dissipation on the bottom. This laptop is gorgeous but when you look closer, you see the cracks in the beauty. If someone has $1400 to spend, consider the Surface Laptop 2.
Microsoft's precision trackpad drivers should work with the Folio. It works wonderfully on my Pavilion and 2 Spectres and definitely makes me feel like I have more touchpad real estate. I prefer HP's trackpads over Apple's anyway, so I'm slightly biased :)
Another great smack down, really like what HP has done here and they've made a unique product. Unfortunately, here in Australia, there's a $600 price difference between these two, even when taking into account the pen & keyboard add-ons for the Surface.
Thanks - again - for your excellent and charming work. - I was considering the HP Folio until I realized that there is no second (back) camera. Appreciating a decent cam for paper scanning and blackboard/whiteboard photography, this is a killer (but not in a positive way).
@T Gaming I got one today. I use it for programming. It's amazing. I'm also getting the book 3 when it comes out hehe. Never going away from surface line again
Sara Delice I sold my 6 and bought a surface go. I still own the go. The reason I sold the six is I switched to Apple. Apple phone, iPad, iPad mini, and MacBook Pro and of course Apple Watch. (Which I cannot find) Haha I’m a lunatic.
Great review, thanks -- I think if you like a Surface as a single device (laptop and tablet), the HP is out of the running. I've already got the Lenovo for a convertible laptop that sometimes serves as a tablet, but if I can only travel with one device, it's the Surface. (That said, I currently travel with the Surface Go 8g because I really love the small size for those little coach tray tables ;) ) I think you're right about the keyboard as well - the surface keyboard is an acquired taste, but I love it.
Microsoft computers are much more interesting than Apple computers these days. Oh, how times change. Surface Pro really can replace a tablet and a laptop, and does it well.
For me it was the surface go that replace a tablet and laptop. The pro is to big for one hand use. Surface Go has been my laptop/tablet for umm on the go but when I was using surface 3, which isnt a pro but has the same size as the pro, I didnt bring it outside that much because it cant fit on my lap and the armchair of my seat. I had to bring a heavy, inconvenient and hot as hell gaming laptop, at least that can sit on my lap and armchair without me worrying that it'll drop from small movement. That is why Go is better for that term laptop/tablet.
About a year ago my daughter bought a spectra laptop with the bang and olefson speakers system. She used it at college for a few weeks. The speakers crackled after playing for a few minutes. She returned it and got another. Same thing. She brought it home and I played it in my office sure enough speakers crackled. Others on Google spoke of the same thing. No fix. We returned it again to best buy got another. Well wouldn't you know it.... Crackling speakers. She returned it and bought a Mac. We tried.
Could be a software issue my surface pro used to have the crackling issue but recently with use and updates i can even do music production on it without a single issue
I have two problems/disagreements with Lisa's findings. One, I didn't hear mention of the sound, specifically when changing modes. While the speakers sound decent in laptop mode, the placement muffled the sound when adjusting modes. The sound is deminished because it is hidden behind sound absorbing and sound robbing leather when in tent or tablet mode. Secondly, the unit I tested did get warm when I was using it in tablet mode. Other than that, I enjoyed using the HP device. There were no flaws in found. It was refreshing to see something sort of unique because I liked the revisted design that Sony/Vaio created and HP certainly improved upon it.
I wouldn't mind a comparison between the 2018 thinkpad X1 tablet and the surface pro 6. I'm buying one with my bonus and am not sure which to go with. (Also possibly the Dell 5290) the folio looks great but it's not for me.
@@mobiletechreview Both are 10-inch devices which are super portable, so I think they are similar in size. Both use core-Y CPU, so computing power not so powerful after all. Both come with AES pen, good for note-taking and sketching. Price is indeed different, but the idea is that this comparison may give us a clue about which 10-inch device running Win10 might be a better choice for what kind of people.
MobileTechReview since you seem to prefer the surface pro pen, would it be possible for you to try using it on the Spectre folio? Since they both use entrig tech I was wondering if the surface pro pen would also work on Spectre folio and if the tilt levels would work better using that pen?
another great video :) I decided to give up my gaming and simulator software's (I own game systems anyways) ... and go for the hp spectre :) . the suraface pro 6 was the only other one I was debating between and this video helped me make my decision on the folio.
Great job Lisa. I just love your smackdown videos... Can you please consider doing a smackdown video between the Microsoft surface pro 6 and Samsung notebook pen convertible laptop. Please please please.
Here's the distilled comparison: the Notebook 9 and Pen family have a much better pen- likely that's most important to artists and designers. You also get a traditional easy on the lap design. Surface Pro is more compact and lighter to use as a tablet. Has a better screen too, though Samsung's are decent.
Great review. I do have a question. How do the manufactures come to conclusion on battery life? I'm not sure if I'm saying that properly or not, but it seems like they are really optimistic on such specs.
I have the Folio 4K. Gorgeous screen, but it definitely hurts the battery life. Typical usage? 5-7 hours vs. the 1080p version. Nonetheless, I still love the device.
If you had to choose between the Surface Pro 6 or Galaxy Book 12, considering they have the same specs (only difference being the new gen of the i5 in the SP6), which one would you choose for someone more interested in a device for drawing ?
Hey Lisa random question. I bought the laptop but haven't received it yet (Australia). I was wondering if it came with a case. I'd assume not since it itself is already leather bound but just wanted to know if it came with one in the box like previous Spectres
Hi Lisa, Regarding the Lenovo Yoga C930, does the pen have a button for functions such as eraser mode or to advance a presentation? Additionally, does it support Windows Hello? Thank you
Hey Lisa, what was the name of the art app you suggested that helps with line jitter? "Lazy" something or other, couldn't make out what you said :-) Thanks!
7:38 PS supports tilt for MPP(Former N-trig) digitizers. It gets a bit technical to set it up properly, but it still kind of works out of the box on modern versions of PS.
A little hard to do a direct performance comparison since they don't run the same OS and programs/apps. As for benchmark scores- we'll post that in next week's iPad Pro review.
Also, the type cover frequently disconnects. I have to basically detach and reattach to get it to work again... annoying... Hp design is better, as it just has the cover their the whole time.
Great comparison, thanks Lisa. I was close to buying the Folio, but swung to the Surface Pro for the edge of portability for travel working. But I use it as a tablet a lot. And compared to my outgoing iPad Pro Windows is just awful - so frustrating. Sometimes a finger works, sometimes the pen, sometimes neither... oh wait, it did, but the 5 sec delay meant I asked it to do something else! Maybe it's just getting used to it, but I wonder, do you think the Folio solves the lack of input sensitivity by having the touchpad available in tent-mode?
Hi Lisa! Great video, I really like that HP is tackling Microsoft's (overpriced) Surface tablet. 2 weeks ago I watched your Asus Zenbook 3 review and ordered it from Amazon right away, AND I LOVE IT!!! However, it came with a "case" that closes using magnets and I'm worried that the magnets will damage the HDD. Do you know anything about this matter? I've read some articles that say that the magnets could potentially damage the HDD but they would have to be much more powerful and since the case came in the box I hope that Asus wouldn't put in the box knowing it's harmful.
You shouldn't worry about something like that. Asus would not put magnets near sensitive hardware, and I'm assuming that they are only powerful enough to clip together and stay shut, this is nowhere near powerful enough to affect the HDD.
What is the pen like on the Surface 6 for writing? All well and good doing a bit of a doodle but I'd have thought that most people want to use Onenote and take some notes. Surface 4 pro pen absolutely sucked for writing for me, it dampened all motion and tracking was dreadful. Hp tablet is much better.
Pen lag is similar to watching a live tv in youtube from pc and phone at the same time. Video comes 1st in phone then pc. Also laptop got very expensive.
Instead of making a lesser version of a Surface product, I think companies should make products with similar performance and price, but make them user upgradeable. It's not like they need to be waterproof! Make modular designs that are accessible so that these massive investments at least feel more justifiable.
Well the MBA has the same CPU as the HP, so about the same, maybe slightly better depending on what you are doing with it and how good MacOS is tuned for it.
Bravo HP. You are so close to making what I REALLY want If it was... A. 3:2 display instead of 16:9 B. Capable of accepting at least a MicroSD slot for external storage C. Running ChromeOS D. Available in black Then I would be really mad as I would -- HAVE TO -- pony up the money and get myself one. (No sarcasm here, I actually feel this way)
Not a fan of HP's "executive desk accessory" aesthetic. And "leather" like that is a real leather substrate with a polymer surface that irons out all the imperfections in color and texture. I personally prefer an honest synthetic to plasticized leather.
Former VAIO Duo 11 owner here. I'm more excited about the Spectre Folio than I have been any convertible in years. Love the battery life, love the materials, and LOVE the form factor.
For me, the winner is...
your shirt.
It's pointless
I see what u did there! 💕
It's Lisa. :)
Copy.exe; ctrl c + ctrl v
for me the winner is hmm yeah it is a freaking Porsche.. aka Porsche Book 3200x1800 +500nits screen (SB2 is 360nits) and also better sRGB coverage then fx SB2 and other of the Surface line screen variants, and then you also get Wacom 4096 stulys on top, and not Ntrig + intel wireless that is way faster then fx SB2 in iperf-test on notebookcheck.. SB2 get 500mbps Porsche Book 650mbps.
and build and hinge mech, no contest, + thunderbolt3 in the 7mm tablet section +50% bigger battery in tablet part then SB2 (25wh vs 18wh).
Porsche Book should really make a vers2 as I was blown away by the vers1 side by side with SB2. ´way better then SB2 in build and screen and ports and 360 feature and the exact same touchpad as SB2.
all the other 3-1 is mehh, though I do like what HP does with the folio 2-1 and real leather.. that will be nice to move around and touch.
and on non ultrabooks My choice would go in direction of Asus Pro duo.

My girlfriend said she'd castrate me if I brought home another laptop. :-( I'm gonna' miss her. :-(
Or you could keep her and miss your balls.
Time to change your locks.
you dont have a girlfriend. so its ok
I will do with a Surface Pro 6 instead of balls. Balls are overrated.
Or them
hello everyone
10:20 almost 7 months in on folio. Looking good like a new.

It's a shame. This most recent generation of HP laptops have awful speakers and QC has tanked.
Odd, the speakers are the best I've heard on a Spectre over the years. The trackpad is certainly small compared to other Spectre models, but as measured with the ruler, is nearly identical in size as the Alcantara Type Cover trackpad.

Lisa is overpowered with her level 9000 shirts!!!
Shes hot
I always come to your videos whenever I want to buy a tablet. I love your very informative videos.
Nice t-shirt! I like it!😊👍
That shirt is pointless
I think it has at least 3 good points.

Excellent smackdown
Seems like HP could of did even better with both Pricing and Performance by going with Ryzen 2600 or 1500X.

Love you Lisa, You're Spectacular!!
Thanks for the smack down Lisa! 😁👍
Thanks for your powerful videos
Can u do a full review on surface pro 7
I have that same shirt!
I have the Folio 4K. Gorgeous screen, but it definitely hurts the battery life. Typical usage? 5-7 hours vs. the 1080p version. Nonetheless, I still love the device.
That folio looks terrific
uh, comparing a laptop with a 2 core cpu with 4 threads to one with a 4 core cpu with 8 threads. Not a fair fight at all
Great review. Thanks a lot!
What about the folio European version with 16 GB ram? Do you have any scores for it on geekbench?
Which one is better Specter folio or Elite folio? Like faster, thiner and lighter?
If you had to choose between the Surface Pro 6 or Galaxy Book 12, considering they have the same specs (only difference being the new gen of the i5 in the SP6), which one would you choose for someone more interested in a device for drawing ?
An u guys possibly review the zbook x2 g4
a comparison/review video on the 2018 iPad pro please
Is refreshed product of sprectre folio coming?

Can you use the surface pen with the HP. Like would the erase feature work by turning the pen upside down

it seems difficult for HP and microsoft to add a wacom EMR in 2k$ machines, but easy for others in 0.5k$ machines.
Thanks Lisa
This reviews are so awesome that when a new one comes, I pour some whiskey and put relaxing background music before watching.
What was the Samsung?

7:38 PS supports tilt for MPP(Former N-trig) digitizers. It gets a bit technical to set it up properly, but it still kind of works out of the box on modern versions of PS.
Which Photoshop version were you using in this video?
I like the T-shiry. Is it for sale?
How does the surface Pro compare to Apples new I
Pad in terms of performance?
A little hard to do a direct performance comparison since they don't run the same OS and programs/apps. As for benchmark scores- we'll post that in next week's iPad Pro review.
Where do you get your tees?
Brand of bag at 5:00 please?
Also, the type cover frequently disconnects. I have to basically detach and reattach to get it to work again... annoying... Hp design is better, as it just has the cover their the whole time.

Hi Lisa!
Great video, I really like that HP is tackling Microsoft's (overpriced) Surface tablet.

@@iElectryXi no problem, glad i could help, enjoy your new laptop :D
I wouldn't buy anything with a HDD anymore. Stick with SSD, no magnetic parts.
I am planning for surface pro6 8th gen 128gbas my secondary tablet come lappi#
I am a full windows guy in corporate world# so no ipad etc ..
HP is actually busted. It's insane that they have so many damn ports and *gasp* USB C?
Hmmm... If only Microsoft thought of that.
What is the pen like on the Surface 6 for writing? All well and good doing a bit of a doodle but I'd have thought that most people want to use Onenote and take some notes. Surface 4 pro pen absolutely sucked for writing for me, it dampened all motion and tracking was dreadful. Hp tablet is much better.
Pen lag is similar to watching a live tv in youtube from pc and phone at the same time. Video comes 1st in phone then pc.

Lisa - can you do a Civ 6 ultra book/convertible smack down? Ask fir axis to sponsor???
Instead of making a lesser version of a Surface product, I think companies should make products with similar performance and price, but make them user upgradeable.
It's not like they need to be waterproof! Make modular designs that are accessible so that these massive investments at least feel more justifiable.
That would be the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 tablet.
HP gets some extra style points.
I’m curious about how the new MacBook Air would fare against both of these
Well the MBA has the same CPU as the HP, so about the same, maybe slightly better depending on what you are doing with it and how good MacOS is tuned for it.
I won't buy anything that doesn't have usb c charging because I will not go back to different chargers for my laptop and phone when I travel.
I thought it had a headphone jack on the left side
Would you review the new Alienware?
I will.
Love the t-shirt. 🙂
Will you be reviewing the alienware m15?
The hp is the best deal
my like for the T Shirt!
Bravo HP. You are so close to making what I REALLY want
If it was...
A. 3:2 display instead of 16:9
B. Capable of accepting at least a MicroSD slot for external storage
C. Running ChromeOS
D. Available in black
Then I would be really mad as I would -- HAVE TO -- pony up the money and get myself one.

Hewlett Packard 👍👍👍
Not a fan of HP's "executive desk accessory" aesthetic. And "leather" like that is a real leather substrate with a polymer surface that irons out all the imperfections in color and texture. I personally prefer an honest synthetic to plasticized leather.
