I enjoyed your excellent real-world review because you hit all the hot-spots I needed to make my decision. Thank you!
+Michael Irwin No problem at all. Thanks for watching!
It's Not Magnesium If It Was, Water + Magnesium = Mad Chemical Reaction
Michael Irwin this was obviously sponsored haha but I am considering it, this or the yoga 920.
+akachuy Sponsored doesn't always have to mean dishonest. 😎👊
same man, very usefull and insight on it
Finally, a reviewer on youtube that sounds like a rapper when reviewing =) Subscribing
+NeoAlgus 🤣😂🤣😎Thanks!
And you're saying that like it's a GOOD thing?
I made my decision, which didn’t come easy until I saw your video. Thank you so much! Not too technical yet straight to the point and informative.
+Jorge Smithers Thanks so much for the positive feedback! I'm sure you'll love it!
Me too!
Ordered one of these with a 4k display, core i7, and 16gb of RAM. Can't wait to get it and put my trusty Macbook Air to rest.
+Eddie Cobb You'll love it!
Eddie Cobb How's your experience with the battery life so far? I want one with a 4K display but am still a bit nervous that it'll last only like 5 hours
I really enjoy it. I've had it a couple months now and it's performing great. It's been a bit of a transition coming from a Macbook Air but the touchscreen and speed is pretty hard to beat.
+Tom Tom I know your question is directed to Eddie, but this has been my only computer since the day it arrived. It still performes just as good as in the video. The battery life is still REALLY good for me. However, I do charge it every day before bedtime. It does get pretty hot at time and you will hear the fan kick on, but it doesn't bother me since it doesn't happen all the time. Even when it gets hot, the performance doesn't seem to be affected. Hope that helps.
hey Eddie I really want to get this laptop for collage as it is perfect for collage and note taking and productive work. But the problem is I am scared to give up macos and break my apple ecosystem with my iPhone,mac and apple watch. Do you think the trade off is worth it.
great video
+itsAlexClark Thanks!!
itsAlexClark Alex how could you do it to jaiden
WOAH WHAT R U DOIN HERE
Wow. This review was actually fun and informative.
+Seun Olumurewa Thank you!
Dude, you get so hyped up it's contagious. Nice review!
+Joao Pereyra Haha! Thanks... If you think THIS is hyped... You should see some of my headphone reviews. Lol! 😂🤣
the fast boot time is from the ssd not the processor.
Just giving feedback because i've been watching a lot of these xps 13, spectre x360, asus zenbook reviews lately. Keep doing what you're doing as far as format. As someone said, i really like how you don't waste 8minutes going through the specs which everyone sees on a spec sheet anyway. Viewers just want toisee/hear about real world scenarios. Also just an fyi, if you go into cpu settings and change the cpu power to 99% instead of 100% it stops the cpu from going into that turbo boost mode which helps a lot with heat without hindering performance too much.
Thank you!
Exactly!!!
Great review, so tired of reviews that can't get passed the technical stuff which you just look up on a spec sheet anyway.
Mikael Falk Thank you for that. I feel like tech reviews need more personality. After all, the average consumer really just wants to know if it's gonna work when you need it to and how long g the battery will last.
Hey this was a great review, your energy made it more interesting. Thank you so much! I never knew there was a spot for the pen in the sleeve.
+lbush8261 Thanks for checking it out!!
By far the best thing you mentioned, which is very accurate is that the laptop is "future proof." Everything will move to USB-C/ Thunderbolt, and this puppy is already ahead of the curve!!
that is my next laptop. the most beautiful!
+Salau Mojirayo I agree!
Salau Mojirayo I suggest you not to buy this you will hate this after 2 months
I too own it and I am using it from five months touch is not working properly and it produces a scratchy sound after some time with excessive heating and 1 hour light gaming
Awesome review! I will be getting mine tomorrow, can’t wait! 🙏🏾
You'll love it... It's still my daily computer.
You are probably the best reviewer on youtube , thank you !
Thank you!
I just got mine 🙌🏽 I love it
+Lauren Murray Yayeee! 😎😁👍
those hinges are just...so...smooth........
Sold! Great, quick, and entertaining; review hit all the points I needed to see! Was on the fence, now I know exactly what I needed to know. Cheers!
I really like this review. Got what I needed to know and I like the way you talk. So smooth.
I love that when you are talking and doing the review you sound like you are talking to us like we are family or friends...which makes it feel more like a real honest review..thank you for your time of making this review...I am really considering this computer over the macbook pro 2017
You are awesome, love this review! I will receive mine tomorrow, can’t wait!!!
Great video, got mine 1 week ago and it performs just as well as you state
I ordered the 15.6' 4k one. I can't wait to try it out!
+ODETHIOUS You're gonna love it!
YOU, sir, have to explain Huawei (and Lenovo), why I spent my money on this HP. Great review!
I gotta save up for this.
I also got mine 2 years ago and I still love it and it still looks brand new
I just got this laptop and I love it!! Great for drawing, coding, and music production. And I'm still drooling over the Ash Silver styling option omg
So after a year, tell me is it worth buying? I want to get one for creative work
I see people say it is noisy and gets hot
Never been an HP fan, but this may change my mind. Have one on order. Thanks for the real review.
Love the review straight on points
Thanks for checking it out! 🙌
the most effective review I feel like I've experienced in my life 😂🙌🏾 thanks for sharing
Thanks for checking it out! 🙌
This review was great! I love your enthusiasm!
+Ko0lHaNDLuKex Thank you... Glad you enjoyed it!
I like your review.. you're sooooo entertaining man.. Keep doing what you do... thank you.
+Rowan kt Thank you so much!
hp really stepped up their game... best windows laptops currently
I just bought this laptop, But not computer savvy. So it’s gonna be awhile before I can actually flow through this. It’s super cute and lightweight.
Awesome review man, I think I've got a new computer right here.
Thank you for your awesome review. You've sold me on this laptop. :)
Thanks for the awesome review, I bought an hp Spectre but really hadn't watched many reviews on it. I will tell you that your are spot on. I do work using google drive, binge watch, household budgeting, slide shows, photo editing, and listen to music using a blue tooth speakers and head phones. It's light weight, easy to carry, tent mode is awesome, tablet mode is great for reading. My D.C Comics collection really looks awesome on the Spectre as well. Not sure if your a Vet or not, Great Shirt, Oorah!
+mikedavonwash I'm glad you're liking it. I'm still impressed with it and still nothing worth complaining about. And yes... USMC... Semper Fi!
this actually helped so much!! I've been looking at all types of tablet laptops for drawing and school. I know now ima get this one. but hey! u forgot to mention if this computer will be great for artists!
+Lacey Oleksuik I'm glad it helped you out Lacey! Now as for your question... Hmmmm good for artist? It's hard to say because I'm so far from being an artist. But I WILL say that the accuracy and pressure sensitivity is great! The little playing around with drawing that if done didn't feel too unatural or querky.
+Lacey Oleksuik Hope that helps!
+Just Doin' Reviews N' Stuff yes thankyou! ur review was awesome and easy to understand!
+Lacey Oleksuik Awesome! This was actually a pretty tough one to do... It's a laptop and it does so much and there's so much I could talk about; but I had to keep it as simple as possible. I'm really glad you liked it!
Great review! You should have wayy more subscribers!
+GameTechSuperSham Thank you!
Dude IDK if that is your crib right there but that is some sick decor you got going on you know how to put it together man nice review you got a thumbs up and a subscribe. Thanks!
+Evan Roggenkamp Hey thanks man! Yes, it's my house. We thought we decorated it pretty simple. Lol!
Sometimes simple is the way to go. Keep it up brother!
+Evan Roggenkamp Thanks again!
HP has the latest new laptop market.
I got the exact same laptop. overall it's great! just one drawback would be that it gets pretty hot once you really put it to use like video editing.
just an fyi, if you go into advanced cpu settings and change it from 100% to just 99% it prevents the cpu from going into turbo boost mode and spares a ton of heat.

how to do that?
How is the battery life?
Awesome vid dude. Been thinking of getting this soon
+Cameron Creekmore You'll love it!
:)
Great videos .... keep them coming ... LOVE & SUPPORT
+Seid Delic Thank you!
Great review. Thanks for your video.
Great video! thank you. I saw below that you corrected its not 4k display hence the really good battery life ;)
Great video, thank you so much! I especially appreciate hearing about your experience with the battery. I'm trying to decide between 4K and FHD display. I've been hearing that the 4K can really cut down on battery life. I don't do much video/photo on my laptop--but I do multitask a number of text, spreadsheet, and multiple website regularly. How long would you say the battery take to run down to empty from fully charged? Do you notice a drop in performance at 4K resolution? Thanks for your feedback, and keep up the good work on the reviews! : )
Very very gorgeous and after all these beautiful reviews of the different 2 in 1 laptops I don't which I will get I'll make the decision when I go!🤩🙋♀️💻
Great review man. I'm sold
New Subscriber. Awesome review. Lots of great information. Can't wait to see more.
Great review thanks
mate you give a real good size comparison showing how big it actually is
🙌
I would love to have this Notebook for the school work :) i need some powerful and portable machine like this for civil engeneering :(
Subscribed had fun watching the video and now am bout to get hp 😂
Great video man.
+tominfhl Thanks!
I really enjoyed your review. Thank you!!!
Thanks for watching!
I have the i7-8550 version with the 4k display and its just plain beautiful..
Thank you for this review! I was thinking of getting this for college and video editing.. what software did you use to edit?
A very great video! You are flowing through the video. Good job!
What is about hand clench detection?
Great vid man, bought today, happy to say the least :) subbed
James Sykes how is the computer holding up
My next laptop 😍
Good stuff!
Very nice review ;)
Great Review and you hit all important points for my decision
I'm glad I could help!
I just returned mine after using it for a week. It is without a doubt beautiful, runs excellent and does everything that I wanted but it dies quickly when it is not plugged on charge. I did everything I can too make it last longer: power saver, brightness at the lowest, use earphones. I was also constantly surfing the web, writing a paper, with two e-texts open. No videos or streaming and it still only lasts me 4 to 5 hours. I thought I had a defective one and asked for a replacement but the best buy guy told me that it is really the approx battery life for such a powerful computer. I was disappointed because I love that laptop but it just really doesn't meet my needs when it comes to battery life.
+LadyJaja Wow! That doesn't sound like this laptop at all. I still get the same type of battery life I talked about in the video. Sorry it didn't work out for you though. 😔
I'm either getting this laptop, or the Envy. I'm also looking at the 15 inch flavors as well.
Andy Kessler this laptop is soooo Good, i just got it
Andy Kessler The battery life on the envy is no good, I have one and battery life goes down really fast with just doing internet browsing
M. How is the laptop holding up, and how is the battery life so far
Awesome video! indeed I have one just need to know how to configure the pen with it
Nice review
"we need that 360 baby" lol subbed
+Everin James 👊 Thanks for the support!
great review! I can't decide if I should should get the HP Spectre or the HP Spectre 360x since I'm taking graphic design
V Puduri thanks man great advice
that is awesome!! I need to hang out with you more often!! 😀👌
+MayitoTek Ha! I want to get a collab going someday soon!
let me catch up with you :)
I use mine for work and pleasure, as a marketing specialist you find yourself editing photos, videos and presenting reports to clients. All mentioned in the review points are correct and valid in my opinion this machine is a great tool. It is well build and is super light. Battery life is great for me. Although I constantly have a range of tabs opened I can work in my garden for 5-6 hours without having to charge it, whilst having video conferences and performing general admin/marketing duties. Would defiantly recommend it myself too. Good video for those that want to find some general information about this laptop.
really really awesome.. tq bro.
+warak anda Thanks!
Could you comment on the heat management? I keep reading that it gets overheated too quickly. What is your experience?
+kodomolion76 There have been times where it has gotten pretty hot... Then of course the fan turns on. It hasn't been anything that has concerned or bothered me though. I'm not even sure I noticed a drop in performance when it happens.
Great video! 👍🏼
Thanks!
Great reviews!
+Quan Qi Thank you!
you're one handsome man
EDIT: I laughed so hard at 4:58
so relatable.. I loved this review, it put spectre on the radar.
you convinced me to get it, fam.
Fun review, thanks
+paulvsmith thanks for checking it out!
I just returned mine, it worked amazing and I loved all those features but it REALLY gets very hot and it's noisy. The biggest problem occurred when I was making a pp presentation and the screen suddenly shut down, the keyboard was working perfectly but the display was not working. I had only used it for 20 days so I tried to ask for my guarantee and they told me it would take at least 20 days to get a new one. I have to say that HP service is terrible, that's why I decided to ask to get my money back and I finally chose to try with the Dell XPS13, wish me luck...
I love your energy :p
Good review! Are you still using the laptop to edit videos? What program are you using to edit? Thanks!
Yes! I'm still using it literally daily a year later. There have been a few hiccups here and there, but it's still my daily driver and I love it.
Just Doin' Life awesome thanks for the quick reply. I’m trying to decide between the 13 or 15” models.
That's definitely a personal decisions. the 13-inch has been extremely portable and I don't see myself wishing I had a bigger screen at anytime. Hope that helps
Just Doin' Life you’re one of the first I’ve seen to mention you were able to edit videos on it. That’s one of the reasons I am wanting to get a laptop. Right now all of the videos on my channel were edited with either the iPhone or more recently an iPad Pro. It’s frustrating using either. Thanks
No problem at all
daaamnn love it
This guy is the Wiz Khalifa of Tech Stuff.
+Gtm Nayan Hmmmm... I'm not sure if that's a good or a bad thing! 😂
Hi! Great review, I found it extremely helpful. I'm just wondering what generation core this is (the spec sheet on the links didn't say).
Thanks!
How is the battery life?? How long does it last for online streaming?
I bought this in September of 2017. The screen is cracked tho still usable. They want $300 Cdn to replace it cause it is a touchscreen. I'm also looking for a hard case to protect it but having a hard time finding one.
Thats nice!!!
Stopped watching at sponsored by hp
Tavi Ghita Same. His opinion can't be trusted.
+Bullet Tooth Tony several months late this is still my only computer. I still stand by everything I said in the video including battery life. I charge it completely every day, and it takes care of everything I need... Including editing and processing all of these videos you claim to be dishonest. I've taken it to Cancun and Rand my business in the go as well as using it to watch Netflix while we were in our hotel suite at night. It does heat up from time to time and yes, the fan kicks in but the performance doesn't seem to be affected by it. I still think it's a fantastic laptop. This only thing I wish it had is an HDMI port.
I understand some reviewers will boldly lie about some products just because they got them for free... I don't do that.
Hey man, I have a couple of questions.
What about the screen woble/mechanism, did it get worse or still the same ?
How about the battery, has it been consistent ?
And lastly the touchpad, any issues with it ?
+alexisaddicted Months laand multiple everyday usage I don't have any issues with any of those. I really do think it's well built.
what about the pen
I just bought mine recently in 2020 and I really like it. But mine didn’t come with a pen or laptop bag. It was just the laptop and charger. Are they supposed to come with it or is it bcos this video is sponsored? I want to know pls. And besides, ur packaging is way better. I even did a short video unboxing mine and uploaded it. It’s different.
I’m trying to choose. Should I get this. Trying to get Black Friday deals
Could you do a review of the 15 inch? Cause I am torn between the two. I might so some light gaming (Skyrim, medium settings or witcher 3, extremely low settings) which is why I am going crazy for the 15 inch.
Watching the office
Excelllent review vid. Very Helpful...
+Just Me Thank you... Happy to help!
You're really pretty good with these review presentations, do you do it professionally?
I picked one of the HP Spectre X360 UB, and it is very impressive. Have it connected to a 4K monitor, and its quite stunning. I use it for coding and virtualization, and it has a strong processor for that work, and very portable (..coming from a MAC background).
Question: Regarding the X360 features (tablet, tent, and presentation stands), touchscreen, and stylus pen ---Do you actually use these features?
Other than the "cool" factor with the touch stuff, I have not found it that useful. I'm guessing it takes a bit to adapt a touch ecosystem?
+Just Me Thanks for the compliment! This is about as "professional" as it's gets for me at this point. As far as the the added modes and features... I don't use the pen very often, only when I'm working with photos. As far as the different modes... I use all of them pretty frequently, not every day, but they actually do come in handy.
Do any of you guys know if this model has the issue of the motherboard burning out over time? There's numerous reports of this on the old one.
hi, I am currently looking to buy one of these and I am getting mixed feelings, a lot of people kept writing reviews of how the spectre has an extremely fragile screen that would randomly crack, and would not be covered under the warranty. a bunch of other people talked about how they were having software issues. at the same time, i love the look of it, and it looks like it has great specs, and a lot of other people seem to love it. so I was wondering if I should buy it?
sick laptop
I have the same laptop but no writer got it. From the internet an HP active pen ordered, but does not go ..? can you help me?
Hey, awesome review , but i would like to ask how is hp spectre for college work which includes using softwares like autocad etc for 3d graphic designing!! So which would be better hp spectre, macbook pro 13inch without touch bar, surface book or the all new surface laptop?
Good review. My problem is it doesn't come with HDMI so I can't hook it up to an extra monitor? What's the cheapest solution to this problem?
