2024 HP Spectre x360 14 REVIEW - This Changes Everything

[@rickvanderwijk5291]

I just bought the HP Spectre x360 14 inch 32gb 2tb, great laptop no fan noise at all, only turn them on when I am charging the laptop. Battery life is still a bit of a guess for me, but I think around 10/11 hours with normal use in internet and Microsoft apps. Thank you for this video! Choose this one because of your excellent video.

[@rickvanderwijk5291]

Hi Andrew, saw you liked my message. Quick question, I have the brightness on 40% and battery saver mode on. With this I guess I can get around max 10 hours while your video says 13 hours. I like to have my screen brighter, are there other improvements to make while having a brighter screen?

[@alexandermalinsky7426]

Congratulations! Any issues with palm rejection while typing? Do you know of a solution for it? Best regards, 😊

[@drenmuji7673]

Hey Rick, I just ordered exactly the same one and just wondering how its going till now? Did u had any problem or anything with it? Thank you.

[@rickvanderwijk5291]

@@drenmuji7673hi! Only problem for me is the battery. I have the feeling it drains too fast, and the times shown for estimated battery time change a lot by every %. Now since a few weeks I have the feeling that at the top middle of the touchpad that the case is a bit highter than the other parts around. And also at the left of the touchpad there is a small gap for the whole lenght, while at the other sides there is no gap. Just really small, but I can see it and it gets a bit dust in it. Because of the battery draining faster than expected I use all the battery saving options, which makes the laptop slow down a bit, but still very fast.

[@MzBeanieBoo]

​@drenmuji7673 hi, any issues with this model? Thinking if I should go with this or just go with the omnibook. Same specs.

[@medicgaming2705]

So my take on the 16 inch version so far (1800p OLED, 16/1tb, 4050 55W). I quite like it but it’s not quite as good as I’d hoped in certain areas. First of all, the display: it’s pretty good, gets decently bright, but as with HP their touchscreen OLED displays have this visible ‘haze’ when you look up close. The best way of putting it is that it looks like there’s always ‘noise’ in the display, but from a normal viewing distance, you don’t really notice it. 120HZ, and apparently G-SYNC compatible thanks to the 4050, but haven’t found a setting to suggest that. Pleasant screen to use, but I wished it got dimmer. My Latitude 9330 reaches as low as 0.9 nits which is 1 nits lower than my iPhone, it’s so dim to the point where I’m struggling to see the display when it’s pitch black. Performance: whilst the Ultra 7 155H is good, I wasn’t expecting the fans to keep intermittently engaging. What makes things worse is the power modes are all over the place. Let’s talk about unplugged: high performance tends to result in the least fan noise, whilst Smart Sense and Balanced engage the fans far more often. Here’s the thing, power saving mode maxes out the fans! There is definitely a bit of work HP need to here. When the laptop’s plugged in, the power modes make more sense. 4050: it’s a low power variant (55W according to Nvidia’s Control Panel) but I’ve found gaming performance to be quite decent. For games that support DLSS 3, it’s going to easily beat a 3050 Ti (85W), but for those without, the 3050 Ti wins, and it’s a sizeable win for some games like TF2. The system cools really well, playing TF2 whilst connected to an external monitor uncapped, and GPU temps don’t even exceed 55 degrees, and the fans are unbelievably quiet (performance mode). They have a higher pitch to them, and more so at lower speeds, hence why I don’t like them turning on and off constantly. Keyboard and Trackpad: Personally I prefer the Envy 15 x360 OLED keyboard, it just has more travel and is more satisfying to type on, but the one featured on this laptop is still very good. Trackpad is massive, glass but palm rejection isn’t the best. Haptics are quite nice. Speakers: Honestly a disappointment. My 13.3 inch Latitude 9330 sounds far better. Much greater depth and the clarity of voices is better as well. By the size of the speaker cutouts on the front edge, I would have expected a much beefier system, but they’re nothing special. Not that I own the Envy anymore because of the 1080p OLED display which I deemed too low res when drawing, but the speakers on that were better. You can probably infer that a laptop’s speakers are quite important to me, and it certainly won’t be the case for many others. Also to mention is the high RAM usage. Even with 16GB of soldered memory (the 32GB option was £300 more at the time I pre ordered) it gets used up an awful lot by HP software/bloatware. I uninstalled the OMEN hub because that was pointless, and would take up around 400MB all the time. Removing that and McAfee the situation has improved a little. Webcam: Not sure what the hype is honestly. It’s 9MP, sure, but my latitude 2MP webcam is more colour accurate, and looks as sharp if not more so 😅. It still dunks on Dell’s XPS offerings though, so there’s that! Microphones are excellent. I’m still choosing to keep it thanks to its form factor and the fact it plays games well without overheating at all. From looking at the underside, it doesn’t look much different to a Victus machine with the same dual fans side by side. My overall rating would probably be a 7/10, for the money. Improvement points, speakers are comparatively weak to even 13 inch premium convertibles like my Latitude, and so better speakers would be nice. Fan curves are odd and power modes are all over the place.

[@rccc07]

This Spectre looks gorgeous. I hope the thermals to be way better than the previous editions and that the fans don't make much noise.

[@BlackCeII]

Second this request. 14's are just too small for my eyes

[@leobroski94]

3:2 aspect ratio was what made it special. Most other laptops and convertibles are 16:10 these days. I'll never understand this "argument" that you'll have black bars on the top and bottom when watching media. That's the case with every aspect ratio, even with the terrible 16:9 aspect ratio. On an OLED it matters even less since it's just completely black anyways. For office work, Internet browsing etc. 3:2 aspect ratio is just way better.

[@dondgc2298]

Totally agree. We keep getting strong horizontal screens forced on us. 3:2 is what made this machine special.

[@RK-um9tu]

100% Facts. Laptop makers seem to forget that adults use their laptops primarily for work, not entertainment.

[@AlexWent]

Disagree that 16:9 is terrible. Movies shown on 16:9 ratio screens actually have less letterboxing than on 16:10, for obvious reasons. Also, the argument that 16:10 is better for multitasking is odd, since the wider the screen, the more side-by-side tabs or windows you can accommodate. The central canvas in Photoshop or equivalent is also larger since 16:9 can more easily accommodate two side-panels.

[@LouisPhilippeBourret]

nice video review! 1 suggestion could be to look at perf (and comparison) when unplugged / running on battery v.s. when using AC

Great review as usual. Wish you cover the pen performance when it comes for typing and drawing when you review 2 in one laptops. 🎉🎉 Keep up the great work

[@medicgaming2705]

I just pre-ordered the 16 inch model with a 4050. £1600 is a lot don't get me wrong, but i'm partial to HPs keyboards; they are quite literally my favourite, excellent comfort for long typing sessions. Delivery in 10-15 days.

Thank you so much for this detailed review. This is exactly what i was looking for. I‘ve spent the last couple of weeks searching for a new pc that could replace my existing pc as well as the iPad Pro and was confused with the numerous models available in today’s market. There is just too much to choose from and that left me utterly confused. i needed something for research as well as on the go portability. When I came across this, I was surprised with the specs and was almost certain I’ll be going for it. I just needed this confirmation that it is the one that I will go for. Just placed the order for it. Thanks again for this detailed video.

[@trubadyr99]

Great review as usual. Thank you, Marc! Now, every reviewer and their dogs talk about one finger lid opening... This is absolutely unnecessary IMO. To me, a strong, tight, wobbling-free hinge which is not so easily opened by one finger is an advantage of a laptop, not its negative quality.

[@desiputtar89]

The sound quality appears to be the same in both HP Spectre 360 and MacBook Pro.

[@thegochie]

I wish you talked more about the drawing experience: Pen technology, line wobble, hooking, etc. as I think artists are some of the main audience for 2-in-1s. Otherwise, great review!

[@antoniovalencia1362]

Hey Andrew, great review! I just received a customized Spectre but I got several blue screen errors and the laptop wouldn't even load for the first time. Surprisingly, this is the second Spectre I've purchased (prior gen) with the same issue. Wonder if anyone has had similar issues? I'm returning mine but I appreciate your thoughtful comparison to other laptops, your insights are spot on!

brilliant reviews you have. I have one question for you which one would you recommend between the 2024 HP Spectre x360 14" and the 2024 Lenovo Yoga 9i 2-in-1 14" ?

[@CrustaceanAllergyEnjoyer]

Did you decide on something?

[@christiansvendsen4072]

​@@CrustaceanAllergyEnjoyer I ended up choosing the Lenovo Yoga 9 Ultra-7/32/1000GB 14" and am very satisfied with it. Initially, I tried the Lenovo Yoga Slim 7x Snap-12C/32/1024 14.5" with Copilot+, but I had to return it because it didn’t support the Google Drive app on Windows due to its chipset incompatibility. Since I use Google Drive for everything, that was a deal-breaker.

Funny, that HP had added speaker grills on the sides of the keyboard, while Lenovo did the exact opposite with thr X1C G12. Win for HP in my book.

[@Anton_Litvin]

[@norcalpacific]

Damn this checks off about every box for me, 120 hz! Dedicated Graphics! (I dont need Nvdia level graphics). I do wish it went on a diet, lost a little weight, as 3 and quarter pounds is kinda heavy for a "Ultra Book", I think it needs to be 3 pounds max. But I can deal with that for these specs.

[@nikenpeeps]

I preferred the gold frame and hinges, etc. Those are what made it stand out and feel more premium to me.

[@BlackCeII]

That's exactly how I feel about the Dell XPS carbon fiber look that they apparently have ditched much to my dismay. I almost got that one just because of the looks. But I went with a 16-inch HP Specter and I have no regrets

[@morten1]

I'm at the opposite. I'm interested in this laptop now that the gold is gone :D

[@jheasley2]

Hi Andrew. I purchased this machine a couple of weeks ago and it developed a severe keyboard lag (I mean, 1 to 3 seconds before letters appears) and there doesn't seem to be anything to do about it other than advice from HP to "turn off filter keys", which is already off. Just wondered if you or anyone has heard of a solve for this. It renders the computer pretty much useless. Thanks!

[@andrewmarcdavid]

I have not experienced that at all l. I would return it for a new one

[@jheasley2]

Thanks. Yep, they’re making me do a full OS reinstall today so we will see what happens after that, but it will be going back I’m 80% sure.

Hi congrats,1 or 2 TB , any problems with palm rejection while typing? best regards

[@盾神京矢]

As a long-time Surface user since 2015, I do prefer 3:2 (1.5:1) for 2-in-1. However, I find 16:10 (1.6:1) better for pure laptops and 7:5 (1.4:1) (the iPads at 11 or 10.9 inches are roughly that aspect ratio) for pure tablets.

[@DrGiulioski]

An other reason I took this laptop is Wifi 7 support. This is an other game changer. I work always online , on cloud, on a NAS at home and on a NAS in the office. Whatever ever network you work on the lag is lower when opening and saving files. If you can, then add a Wifi 7 adapter to the ethernet port of your modem. Actually they are a bit expensive but at the end of this year you can find them at reasonable prices.

[@abcdef7660]

Bro, coud you please do PWM test for every OLED display laptop from now on?

[@ousi00]

I appreciate the total weight part, but for laptops that can be charged with "normal" travel USB-C charger (35W -> 65W), practically we can ignore the charger because folks would have at least one of such charger when on the road for phone and other stuff. But that is not true for "gaming laptop" or workstation laptop that requires 230W+ power bricks.

[@DrGiulioski]

Bought in june 2024. Payed in Italy 1600 euro tax incl., 1315 euro VATax excluded. Got 2 Terabyte and 32 GB ram. Pen IS included. Extra USB Hub is NOT included like in the video. Supplied with Win11 Home edition which is a shame ! Have now to worry to get the Win Pro edition upgrade. The power adapter is by far not small for beeing 65W and not worth to travel with it's original calbles. So I'm using an original Samsung 65W adapter, it takes less of the half space and is much lighter. The touch grid is not to worry with, would'nt notice it. To use the original adapter I'm using C5 to female C8 adapter and a simple radio shack cable otherwise you can't move with the big and heavy original cable. No problems at the moment with the trackpad. For sure this is a very good buy at this price and what you get.

My previous laptop had a fingerprint reader. The HP Spectre has a fingerprint reader and the IR camera. You can't immagine how happy I am for that. The IR camera's do not always work and could be frustrating if you have multiple accounts but the fingerprint reader is fast and do always work and gives you much more security. I have enabled both of them. If I'm wearing my glasses this is fantastic. For those that have to choose about this and an other laptop I would give for sure more value to the fingerprint. BTW, none of the laptops I considered had both options, the HP Spectre gives you much more of comfort.

I was really exited for this laptop until I first turned it on. The Windows 11 install screen (mostly white) looked horrible from up close. The screen, especially on lighter colour backgrounds, has these hexagon-like shapes that are uncomfortably visible. However, all my worries quickly disappeared when i started using it like a usual laptop. From a normal distance away from the screen, the said "Screen door effect" almost completely disappears and the screen looks incredible. Also, everyone raves about the trackpad being haptic, but as someone that has used normal trackpads for most of their life, it felt odd. However I quickly got used to the new vibrations. One positive is that the "click" is able to be felt throughout the whole trackpad and not only the bottom corners.

On desktop keyboard it doesn't matter that much but on a small laptop I just can't get used to the slightly slanted typing position. There are 4 rubber strip that supposedly kept the screen away from the keyboard when closed. This somehow 'dig' into the screen and delaminate the contact point on the screen. And because a pair of them is in the bottom of the keyboard, the delamination point is in the middle of the screen. They're not dead pixel, not noticeable on brighter program like word/spreadsheet. It's between the outer glass and the panel. The material they use feel premium but it doesn't wear well, the palm rest in mine got discolored as if it was painted not anodized. Also one of the keys somehow missing it's coating and the backlit bled through it. Overall quite disappointed, my older thinkpad and macbook have better wear&tear and they are at least 2yo older with similar use

If it's in Tent Mode on a desk using an external keyboard and mouse, what is protecting the leading edges from being scratched by the table?

looking forward to see some great GPU based laptops of 2024,. from the new CES..

[@nnannaoketa7675]

I just got one. Good laptop but the picture quality is not as good as the previous versions.

My HP Spectre X360 based an old i5 (2013 model) Just die.... today.... after 11 years 😃 Rest in peace my boy. Iam on my way for Zenbook S13 Oled, i7.

[@anonymoussimp1507]

I hope every HP laptop comes with those adaptors 🥺

[@Wreckingknight1720]

Help me choose one : Hp spectre x360 16/32 gb 1 Tb 16” or Apple macbook pro m4 16 gb / 1 TB

I got this one the other day, with a 32gb RAM. I returned it the day after. Beautiful screen, great keyboard but awful trackpad. The worst thing, it was lagging like it was 97 again, when using Lightroom. The delay. I can forgive a bit of delay, but not half a second to one second even in performance mode. I am spoiled with my M3 16 inch Max:ed out but didn’t expect x360 to be so bad. Battery life is great. Could survive a few hours Lightroom (even though lagging all the time) and Netflix without being plugged in. My search for a perfect Windows laptop to bring on my travels instead of my heavy Mac keeps going. But don’t think I’ll ever find one, haha.

I can't immagine for which reason it's comparable for pure cpu performance? However I use it every day in my printing industry with Photoshop, Illustrator and Indesign and I'm very happy with it,

Thanks, I was waiting for this, i need HP 14, OLED 120 FPS, wow Intel + Arc

[@andrewmarcdavid]

No problem!

[@mehmetalieser3789]

I wish you covered some light gaming too since you gave info about how much it drains the battery in the related section. Overall a great review though, my first yime watching one of your reviews and this one was through and detailed besides what I mentioned previously. Although it is understandable since this is not meant for gaming but I am specifically looking for a device for college that can also handle some light gaming just incase I decide to give that a shot since I used to game my whole life except for the last year.

Does the pen charge when attached to the side ? or only via usb-c? thanks

[@andrewmarcdavid]

via USB-C to charge the pen.

[@todopegado01]

@@andrewmarcdavid thanks for the content very useful and for the reply !

[@mihaipredescu]

Great job, as always, Andrew! A real joy and life-saving videos you make. Really grateful for that! Keep it up! I wait for Lenovo new 2024 laptop line, curious about what do they have in store for us.

[@hamsterhub]

But is the usbc charging port replaceable if it stops working? Have an older version of this and the usbc isn't replaceable - it means it needs a whole new motherboard!

[@Rocky_KO]

Only the Framework laptops have replaceable ports.

[@morten1]

Those cutouts with ports at the edges looks pretty sharp. Problem?

[@tonyong7526]

Great review! i am wondering is the 14 inch come with midnight black?

[@khapham7336]

I've been using 2 spectre x360 so far (2017 and 2021), also recommended for a few friends of mine. Everything is nice except for the battery (great at first but wear out real quick, the current one that i am using can no longer be active after just 2 years 😂) and the SSD (1-2 years and your device might refuse to start up all of sudden). Customer service is not very responsive, and Smart Charging feature is nowhere to be found (such a shame for a hi-end laptop). Still love it for the gorgeous design and the versality, but im switching brand right now 😅
