HP - Spectre x360 2-in-1 13.3" Touch-Screen Laptop - Intel Core i7 - 8GB Memory - 256GB Solid State Drive - Natural Silver

HP never disappoints. This laptop can be held in tablet mode, tent mode or table mode. Touch screen works well in all. Only drawback is weight is a little more than I expected and that makes it slightly awkward. Regardless, I love it!!

After my son reviewed the specs he was looking to utilize as he is a full-time college student. We decided the Spectre-360 would be the best choice. The lightweight and versatility is easy to handle as well.

I was Looking to a purchase a light weight laptop for my home office use, I purchased a open box Laptop from store. Laptop box not displayed any proper information about laptop specification. I was looking for a i7 with 256 SSD laptop. Best buy store assistant said it is SSD laptop. After coming back to home I noticed it was 1TB hard drive and returned the laptop. Again I searched in the store and I found this HP Spectre 360 online and went 30 miles store to purchase. This open box item $810 and new one $899 (10% on the new laptop). Previous best buy offering the $50 off and on open laptops, so requested for $50 off from store floor manager. He said that store may be offering $50 on open box but we are not able to honer. I bought for $810+ tax. after coming home start installing, then noticed the power plug not related to USA( attached screen shoot). This is a Geeksquad certified open box( attached screen shoot). Geeksquad not verified when they are certified. My final recommendation please don't buy open box laptop's from best buy. This is a worst experience with Geeeksquad certified. I spent my time to travel,toll tax and Gas expenses to buy this laptop.Really very bad experience with open box laptop's from best buy.

I have been using this laptop as my daily driver for almost 1 month now, and I must admit I'm thoroughly impressed. This is an HP product I have bought after a long while (I had some bad experience with my previous HP printer and laptops), and I honestly took a bet after seeing the Spectre x360. The design is exquisite. It's not the lightest one out there, but still its incredible the power it packs for such a small device. Booting up and normal operation is a breeze. The loads of available ports actually makes a mockery of the dongle-madness that has ensued by the new MacBook Pro and even the new Spectre x360 (Kaby Lake). My only grievance is that the tablet mode is not the best - it's definitely no Microsoft Surface. The HP Active Stylus is not good as the Dell one (which I think is hard to find right now). It would've been a nice touch if they could bundle the pen with the laptop. Also, the included neoprene sleeve is not very convenient as it's too tight. The glaring keyboard light hotkey is an eyesore (fortunately you can turn it off in the updated BIOS setting). The sound is not the best, as both the speakers are bottom-firing. But overall, I really like this laptop for its aesthetic design and raw power. A definite buy if you're looking for a good convertible/2-in-1 and it's within the price range.

Dang, this Spectre X360 (in cool Ash Silver) is by far more elegant than any other computer I've ever had, and I was a high-end Sony Vaio guy. Screen images are incredible and wireless works flawlessly. I'm getting about 7 hours battery life with screen at 80%. That was a major worry for me because of other reviews I'd read. Seems pretty good to me; my Vaio only got 4 hrs at best and took twice as long to charge. I had gone in to get the new Surface Pro 4 but the connectivity was very poor -- no SD card ports, only 1 USB, and who uses that weird new USB anyway? Only 1 thing at a time can connect to the Surface Pro without extra junk to lug. Meanwhile the Spectre rages with convenience and portability -- I was just in a coffee shop switching back and forth between Photoshop, Word and InDesign plus AOL and Edge all open continuously, with a small external hard drive, two built-in USBs and camera card (SD 32 gig) all working together like lightning. Had some huge photo files open (300 dpi CMYK at 30"x16" for a magazine story) and using the pen to clone down at the 2 pixel level from one 24 gig photo to another). With the Surface I would have had to drag along the $200 external docking port and some sort of SD card adapter to do what the Spectre already has; more stuff to lug, no thanks, Surface. And the Surface is only an i5; the guys at Best Buy said no way would it handle Photoshop, InDesign, Edge and the large photos for a sustained period. Sadly, the HP pen cannot match the Surface Pro 4. It is not snappy and the image appears "below" the glass, unlike the Surface -- so "that's" where they got the name. The HP pen isn't too bad but often acts a little confused but I'm learning better ways to use it and it's improving. I hear the Dell pen works better on the HP. And I had my Sony Bluetooth headphones going too. Bluetooth connectivity is great. Just swipe-in from the right side of the touch screen and Viola! Touch the "connect" icon and it happens almost automatic. Wireless in the coffee place happened perfectly too, in a split second. I am thinking the haphazzard connectivity I read about in some reviews was in machines with the older (Broadwell?) chips from last Fall or something. I'll have to go back and check those dates, this X360 is working fantastic. I hope I have no updates on this. I had no prior love of HP, in fact the opposite, but I'm becoming a believer. When I bought it I figured anything goes wrong, anything, its going back but the opposite is happening. It starts up in 30 seconds ready to go with zippy performance even with a half dozen apps open. By the way, Photoshop is not perfected yet on any 2-in-1s (SP4 included); those scaling issues are a drag and make it appear small. It fits on the screen but the text things like "File" and "Edit" are pretty small. I understand there are reasons for this but I look forward to some sort of downloadable scaling fix. Make it soon, Windows/Adobe! Adobe InDesign appears bigger and far more manageable; MS Word is fine, maps and Edge, in fact all my other apps are A-OK. Where I had lingering doubt as to whether I should have gotten the Surface Pro 4, the 3 USB 3.0 ports and SD card inputs and awesome looks of my (Ash Silver) Spectre eradicated them. The killer was, I got an i7 256 gig for the same money the i5 cost in the Surface. All in all I figure I got a better, faster machine for $550 less (the $200 dock, $200 to upgrade to the i7 and $129 for the type cover plus tax and dongles/adapters. I did have to buy the HP pen. One last thing -- I had concerns that the charger would be the same old big brick of the past. Not so, it's pretty small. Wahoo!

I have nothing negative to report in this laptop. It took me a little time to become familiar with using this laptop as I changed from an Apple MacBook Air. Yes, this seems like it has more functionality for what I am needing for an online masters program. The tech support has also been phenomenal to work with!

I like that this solid state drive is fast to start up and shut down. The image is crisp and vivid and sound is great. Back-lighted keys are useful. The BAD is that I am finding black spotted and linear pixelated debre littering many pop-up windows and menu bars, sometimes blacking out the texts completely. At other times a shadow of this activity presents itself before a window fully loads--but is still a "spectre" of a deeper issue with either the OS or the video card, I am suspecting. I had the geek squad look at if it is a software issue-- but so far it is unresolved, and my fear is that it may be a big repair. Anyone hear of this happening? Also, the sensitivity of the touch-pad mouse required heavy tapping rather than a touch to activate the curser. I end up clicking the mouse button instead of tapping all the time. The Mute button is always getting stuck in "on/lit" position when I use it and requires computer shut down or reboot to resolve each time! WTF?!!

The Spectre 360 is perfect. It's light, great screen, terrific colors and converts so easily to tablet mode. The new write on screen functionality is probably one of the best features. Best of all, it's truly affordable.
