HP Spectre x360 14 (2024) Review - 6 Months Later!

[@mrs.w1577]

This was an insightful and detailed review, helped me make a decision

[@AveryCheng]

Glad it helped!

I was close to buying this laptop recently as it’s on a massive discount, but the display at 400 nits just wasn’t bright enough for me. But a lovely laptop nonetheless.

[@AveryCheng]

Totally agree with you; definitely wish it had a brighter display

I bought hp spectre after watching your video, been using it for past 4 months..I roughly get around 6 hours of battery life for just watching lecture videos, browsing like light usage which seems definitely not enough for university student like me. I wish there should have been more ports and I really hate this jaw drop usb type A port...for the high price point, they should have given a dedicated nvidia gpu in 14 inch model.

[@AveryCheng]

Thanks for sharing your experiences! It definitely would be interesting to see what a Spectre with a dedicated GPU would perform like...

Hello! I bought one, but sent it back. 1st drossels noise was insanely loud. 2nd charging noise was louder than in my old notebook. Did you face same issues?

[@AveryCheng]

I have not faced any of these issues in my time using this laptop, but thank you for sharing your experiences though!

Right now HP has the Slate blue with Windows Home and 1gb SSD for 1150 or Nightfall Black with Windows Pro and 2gb SSD for 1400...is that worth 250 bucks?

[@AveryCheng]

Assuming they both have the same RAM, you're an average user (i.e. you won't notice the difference between Windows 11 Home and Pro), and you don't care about the colour, it really all depends on how much you're gonna be storing on your laptop. I personally wouldn't upgrade just for more storage, but I can't decide that for you.

personally i got an accessory as u said no usb-c converter only pen include my laptop spec was Core ultra 7 with 32GB RAM and 1TB SSD :)

[@AveryCheng]

Thanks for sharing!

Need a new Laptop and got a great deal: HP Spectre Intel Core Ultra 7 155H 32 GB RAM, 2 TB SSD Should I just take it? It may be overkill for my needs (just a business student) but for this price i'm just too tempted. I'm a tech enthusiast so having nice specs for a really good price is what i really look for. My budget is around that pricetag so i don't know if there are better options or do you have any recommendations I could look into aswell?

[@AveryCheng]

I'm not really too well-versed in what else is on the market at this price point, but if it suits your needs/wants and it's a good deal, then you won't be unhappy with it

[@themarkanthony888]

Im thinking about this laptop or a macbook pro. I mainly need it for work . I like touchscreen but i had an hp envy and now lenovo yoga. Both had to be replaced within 2 years. Im not a mac fan but everyone i know who has one lasts multiple years. I think im fine converitng if it means my laptop is fine for 5 years or more. Any thoughts on this ?

[@AveryCheng]

I can't speak to the longevity of this laptop yet since it's only been out for a year and I've only had it for just over six months. I'd suggest maybe ranking the things that you value in a laptop from most to least important, and assess based on that. Hope that helps!

[@ToxapeTV]

nice production value, you should really consider a hair cut though. bro needs a life changing fade fr.

[@AveryCheng]

Appreciate the feedback! I'm just trying out different styles at the moment!

[@way437]

nah he has the front double taper he’s chilling

[@Origin820]

Could you see the i5 (rather than 7) still being worth it?

[@AveryCheng]

It could be worth it if it's on sale and you're only doing light tasks with your laptop

[@ashlyevepinuela36]

is it good when gaming?

[@AveryCheng]

For light titles, the integrated graphics on this laptop should be fine. But since it doesn't have a dedicated GPU, I wouldn't recommend it if you're gonna be doing any somewhat serious gaming on it

[@akin242002]

Is the office work from your summer internship since you are in college?

[@AveryCheng]

"Office work" for me mostly means doing school stuff with Microsoft Office or the G Suite of apps. Apologies if the wording made it seem otherwise

[@RamseySimeon]

Great laptop

[@AveryCheng]

It really is!
