HP Spectre x360 15.6" UPDATE [4 months later] - Best Student Laptop 2019?

[@keygenexe4868]

This is the most beautifull laptop i have ever seen .

Just picked up my HP Spectre 360 and I love it.

[@mrudangpathak3160]

@@MikeOBrienMedia I REALLY WANT TO BUY SPECTRE X360 , but I am in great dilemma about some problems heard about this latop ..... Can you please clear my confusion by explaining your daily reviews and elaborating about all following doubts? 1.Heating throttling issues 2.Fingerprint Functioning failure 3.Extreme Screen Wobbling 4.System Crashes and bloatwares 5.Speakers are mediocre , not loud and bassy?

[@lunabright94]

I got the one from the hp website instead of the one best buy. I was hesitant after Linus Tech Tips tore it apart, especially regarding the trackpad... trust me, the guy was dead wrong about the trackpad. This is the best 2 in 1 that hit every single checkmark that I was looking for (the full size keyboard was the last selling point since I'm a data cruncher). It keeps the internal temperature cooler then you might expect and it does amazing with the options it has potential for. I will never keep quiet about how much I have loved using this 2 in 1 and I definitely recommend it.

[@ryanrichard6164]

@@mrudangpathak3160 if you get a defective take it back. Simple.

[@Waltkat]

@@lunabright94 Linus's review is way off base. Not sure what his issue was but his is the only bad review that I've seen on KZbin or anywhere else. I've lost all respect for anything he says now and stopped watching his videos. I love my X360 though I do have an issue with the finger print reader not seeing my finger. I'm going to try reprogramming it to see if that solves the problem. Update: The issue with the finger print reader was...me. Lol. I wasn't keeping my finger on the sensor long enough. On rare occasions it has trouble reading my finger but the majority of the time it works fine. Most of the time when it doesn't read the first time, all I have to do is move my finger a little bit (after lifting it off completely) and it will read fine.

[@mayexist]

thank you so much for putting a useful summary in the description, I wish more reviewers did that ❤

[@MikeOBrienMedia]

Thanks for watching/reading!

[@ngregoirenc]

May not be your use case but I definitely found the 2in1 aspect of it to be really useful for college classes and taking notes. It let me either write out notes or mark up lecture slides really easily. Its not perfect, but if you want to take electronic notes it’s definitely capable and so you won’t need to buy another device to do that.

[@ngregoirenc]

@@francescovilla2227 Surface pro doesnt have good enough specs for my use case as an engineering student. Programs like solidworks just chugged on my friends, but runs great on the specter

[@ngregoirenc]

@@francescovilla2227 It can get hot and the fans can spin up pretty loud. I use one note and its decent, the pen that comes with it is serviceable. I like digital notes the best and this was a good compromise so I didn't need to buy a separate tablet for notes.

[@Audrey-on7si]

Francesco Villa I also need a laptop with specs that can handle music production and Adobe Creative. After finding out that the Spectre gets really hot just watching a KZbin video, I’m definitely not getting a Spectre. The Surface Pro is still an option for me because I can get the one with higher specs

[@Marco-vp8wl]

How did you find the tablet mode? Was it sometimes a bit to big and heavy or did you get used to the size? I'm currently trying to find out if I should get a 15.6 or a 14inch laptop. Generally I prefere 15.6inch in normal mode, but I'm a bit afraid that it might be to bulky in tablet mode. What's your take on this? I'm currently looking for a laptop for my engineering studies starting this year.

[@King0fHero]

@@Marco-vp8wl I have the 15.6 inch model aswell, so I thought I'd take the liberty of answering for him. First off: I have to say that generally 2-in-1s aren't good at beeing a tablet for handheld use because of the then weird placement of the keyboard on the back and additionally the 15.6 inch Spectre is pretty heavy to always hold in your hand. But then again you always have a "stand" with you when you set it down in tent mode and most often I use it flat down on a table to take notes with the pen in class for example. So I have a portable device with which I can do heavier workloads like editing and gaming - even VR titles - and do all kinds of stuff for university all in one. So you'll want to consider your personal possible use cases first and then decide whether you want to accomplish them with several devices which are maybe more specialized or go with a 2-in-1 which is maybe often more of a "jack of all trades, master of none" type of device. I hope that helped maybe a little in making your decision.

Keep it up and thankyou!

[@Kyledaniels85]

Love this laptop I just bought it last week at bestbuy. I did have a MacBook Pro(2017), been using only macs for 8 yr but I was ready to go back to windows. This PC is a powerhouse, I am in the medical field and I do a lot of office and PowerPoint presentation, and light video editing and this computer powers though it without breaking a sweat. Loved your review very informative.

[@MikeOBrienMedia]

Thank you!

[@DarrinLin]

Best Buy is a scam. I showed them the exact model on HP website for $250 less and they refused to pricematch it. Don't bother buying from BB for anything other than if you want to look at the physical product. Only thing they're good for. Their employees don't know shit and will try to sell to you with basically no knowledge of the products.

[@ciarajessie3362]

@@DarrinLin I was in best buy today looking at this and I had a question about the keyboard and if they make covers for the keyboard when its flipped to protect it from damage. They looked like teenage boys and laugh at me when I had to repeat my question like yeah they have backpacks for it. I was very dissatisfied and it honestly upset me on how they treated me. It's a simple question and I still dont know the answer. I do hope there are no issues with having it flipped and the keys dont het damaged.

[@katgirlblue]

@@DarrinLin you can say that again! I was really shocked when I went to BB because I'm debating between a Spectre and an Envy, and wanted to see them in person. The people working there didn't know anything and couldn't answer even one question! I'm not a tech person and rely on these video reviews and ask tech people questions whenever possible, so it can be hard to know what to buy. I have to say, going to BB was a total waste of time and no help whatsoever. (I'm still in a dilemma).

I am 73 and just ordered a mid version of this computer. I am not a heavy type software user, however I do want to start editing some of my drone videos, especially the one where I flew it into a tree and have video until it hit the ground, then the video stopped for some reason. The real reason I ordered this Corvette instead of using my older i5 laptop or i7 desktop sedan? Two very good reasons, one I like the looks and Mike says it feels solid too. Mostly though, I travel a lot and carry a laptop in my camper. I get very impatient waiting for the computer to decide when it is ready to do something. I have thousands of photos and quite a few videos and I like to look at them, and they appear slowly on my old one. I used to build a new desktop every year, however that is just not practical or for me, even possible. I like that this one is soldered together so I can carry it on my electric bike or wherever. While I don't necessarily like that I have to use a separate DVD deck to watch or make DVDs, at least it has ports to make it really fast.

Five months after purchasing the labtop and with very light use, the hinges became misaligned and made a popping sound when I opened the lid. It had to be sent to service centre for repair, and the whole lid and hinges were replaced. It took three weeks before it was returned to me because the parts were on back order. Then about two weeks after it came back from being serviced, the trackpad had issues. The pointer disappeared and the trackpad was unreponsive. After being with online support for 3 hours without success in solving issue, I was told the laptop had to be sent in again for service. When it came back three days later, it worked okay for a day. Then the trackpad issue re-occur. I can not scroll, enlarge or do anything else with the trackpad except move the cursor and even then, it freezes intermittently, sometimes every 5 seconds. Tomorrow, I will have to call customer service again ... for the third time. It's been so frustrating. So much time wasted trying to get what is supposed to be a premium product to work. Meanwhile, my old Dell laptop which I've had for more than six years and bought at a quarter of the cost is still chugging along, and it never had to be serviced.

[@pewwbz9647]

Dells are built like tanks. I could easily see hinges being an issue and Linus talked about the track pad being garbage. Some people were saying download different drivers. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@abehaile2659]

Thanks for the follow up review! 6:38 when would you ever need to use the laptop’s display in the position you’re demonstrating it has a wobbly“weakness”. I honestly believe the hinges are engineered to loosen in that section of the 360° as you should LIKELY only be opening or closing from that position 🤔

[@mrsmcavoy6898]

Nice. What Configuration/specs you have on your machine?

[@TactikewlRN]

I will also add that I use this in combo with the new generation USB hub from HP. So when I'm at home, I simply plug in the single usb cord from the hub and use it more of a desktop, and simply unplug the single cord take with me on the go as a laptop for meetings at work, etc. The hub supports upto 3 screens and just really magnifies the usefulness and flexibility of a already great laptop. I rarely ever have to use the power cord that comes with this laptop.

Take a look at the MSI PS63 (or the Prestige 15 if you need 4K, but it's not released until 9/10/19). It's a few hundred cheaper than this one, really premium feeling, and IMO it's a better all-rounder without the 2-in-1 feature.

Then I had a tech come to the house to change the WiFi card and he seemed to think my speed was good and it would be fine. Not so. Still booting me off the Internet. Tomorrow I will be returning it to Dell - not happy about it as I loved the Computer. It was fast and so nice to work on.

I will summarize it for everyone in 10 seconds: Mike really likes the HP Spectre x360 with a few minor quibbles such as when you turn the speakers up really loud, the fingerprint sensor can be touchy and some components are soldered in so you can't replace them (and why would you). Otherwise its great.

To add to your comment, in my personal experience, he also happens to be wrong about a couple of his quibbles. 1. My fingerprint reader has absolutely no issues when scanning my print. 2. I have mine opened up right now, in the process of upgrading from 16GB to 32Gb of memory. Also, I'm looking at my M.2 SSD right now, which is obviously another easy upgrade, should I decide to do so.

The rubber pads under my HP Spectre 360 have fallen off. That is really crappy to me. Also my finger print reader has stopped working 2 X now. Not good. The "Fit and Finish" are lacking but I do like the keyboard.

[@carlosnoelrodriguez2009]

I'm looking to buy a laptop and I like this one but I don't know if this is good enough for drawings. I use a lot CAD software and other electricals sofrwares. Do you think this HP is good for drawings?

[@amialice6005]

I have had hp for cad programs like autocad and revit to together with no problem

[@sharonbyrd5631]

Maybe they did the bright settings for those who may have a hard time seeing the keys.

[@WasifulFahim]

please review the New LENOVO YOGA C940 (10th GEN i5 version) 🙌

[@RosarioCaliColombia]

hey guys a question.... this one is $1095 now at bestbuy, is this a good deal or would it be better to hold out till new years? thanks!

[@mgkavi1990]

I got it in this deal

[@Alex-yi5gv]

There's actually a deal on HP's website where you can get it for 997.49 plus tax with their promo code (HOLIDAY10) for 5% off. I'm still debating myself to see if best buy will price match it.

[@kn1853]

Mike, do you find that the track pad is noticeably on the louder side than other laptops? When I scroll on it, it makes clicking noises. Is this normal? Also, I had to calibrate the colour as there was a very noticeable yellow tint to the display out of the box. Are these issues I should be concerned about?

[@MikeOBrienMedia]

Hmm... I would say that clicking on the trackpad is a bit loud but I got used to it so I can't say I notice it anymore

[@konaunit5328]

is it durable for traveling and reliable ?

[@hypanova]

Damn I'm torn between this ($1630) and the new Dell XPS 15 7590 with the OLED panel ($2100) (Maybe the MacBook Pro 15"?). I can't determine if the XPS is worth the extra money or not nor do I know which is going to last me longer since I need it for at least 5 years.

[@phynwolf3054]

This is where I'm at also.

[@hypanova]

@@phynwolf3054 I think I'm going with the Spectre

[@ramyhydayatullah]

Any ideas? This is literally my issue

[@hypanova]

@@ramyhydayatullah I got the Spectre, and so far I'm pretty satisfied with it. Only issue I'd say is the battery but that's probably because I have tons of chrome tabs open 24/7. Besides that it's great!

[@ramyhydayatullah]

@@hypanova Three questions please: first, what are you primarily using it for and how extensive is the work you conduct on the device. Two, would you have opted for the 13 inch variant now that you have used it. Third, is there whining or any other issues present. Thanks

[@gryphynwing]

all the laptops on the spectre line is amazing based on features and specs. However, HP's quality just isn't there. Although not the gem cut model, i do have the 2018 x360 and the battery life isn't the best (though still useable throughout the day). Though the main issue were the hinges not being aligned properly and the fan dying on me. HP was able to fix the fan for me, but their attempt at fixing the hinge misalignment only made it even worse. again, amazing laptop, feature and spec packed, but do more research to consider the potential problems down the road. (fyi these problems came up within 2 months for me)

[@mariamkinen8036]

Yess! Probably buying once-in a lifetime, so not a cardboard- toy.

[@stephangerhards8887]

Thinking about this compared to the new XPS 15... anybody know how the power of both Laptops compare? Is the HP much slower than the Dell? Thanks for the video!

[@MikeOBrienMedia]

Please elaborate. Faster at doing what? Could you please share a source. I am interested in reading more

[@bobspence5322]

my biggest complaint was too few connectors buuut.. i cant argue with their vision. i can use splitters.

[@sy-zu4uz]

What's the colour of the laptop you reviewed?

[@justaninja1]

Really? You're complaining about the "wobble" in case you bump the table???

[@cherylhickmon8573]

I don't think he is complaining, just sharing info. That wobble might actually be a deal breaker for someone, but it appears to be very minor.

[@vivekkrishna4785]

can these laptop support usb type-c charging?

[@jamice4u]

The Ram being soldered on the motherboard is a deal breaker to me with 32 GB ram being so cheap at around $125.00 I don't mess with computer that don't allow the user to upgrade the computer.

[@CraigLively]

It's not soldered. Neither is the M.2 SSD.

[@ivantan8877]

Googling this laptop.. it have weak hinges ?

[@sanjaymehta5872]

Thanks for your review 🙂. Have read reviews about this laptop that it gets really hot, what's your experience on that? Would it be recommended for software development and web development? Thanks 👍

[@sikhpilot.]

Is this the Nightfall black or Dark Ash Silver? Thanks

[@ruslan8765]

how the touch screen is with a pen for drawing/note taking?
