HP Spectre x360 Stress test

What's up guys here is my stress test & gaming test on the all new HP Spectre x360.

[@arthurgraziano3610]

Your video reviews of the spectre were amazing. I wish every youtube review was like yours. Thank you very much.

[@wooboo5056]

Currently viewing this on my sisters HP spectre x360 lol

Inception

[@SimplyBergman]

How do you find the laptop so far?

[@starfish2323]

The laptop is actually pretty good I like it

[@Gussamuel]

This is a very good stress test video Andrew, amazing job. :)

[@Eternal2007]

***** Thank you Gussamuel. :)

[@bucketfuljoy4772]

As always great vid Andrew!

[@joshgenet742]

Thanks for your quick review and stress test videos on this laptop! I'll be picking one up when they hit Best Buy on the 15th.

[@Eternal2007]

Josh Genet You're welcome, thanks for watching. :)

[@davidwine1692]

straight ti the point, great job! i like this laptop quite a bit...

[@Eternal2007]

David Wine Thanks David. :)

[@NOFATCHICK1]

I just bought a 12 inch macbook, and now I miss my spectre x360

[@B3you_]

should got a macbook air 11in.

[@NOFATCHICK1]

+brandon prdo but the screen is soooo bad

[@B3you_]

+NOFATCHICK1 There really not though . I was worried about that too! but it runs videos in 1080p. there very bright and its conserves the batterey for 9 hours !

[@NOFATCHICK1]

+brandon prdo when compared to the retina display on my macbook it made the the air display seem so dull and colorless, but I'm sure it's not as bad as people say.

[@annoyingguy3]

Thanks for the video! It'd be great though if next time you add a conclusion or your personal final thoughts on the laptop.

[@peterwynn2319]

Lol some things never change! I vowed never to get another HP product because my old device used to overheat regularly, and the fan sounded like a vacuum cleaner. Looks like they're renowned for that!

[@lakshmang94]

thanks for this!

[@ButterNuggetMC]

Nice video Andrew

[@Eternal2007]

ButterNuggetMC Thank you. ;)

[@HenryTheBoilermaker3rdYear]

What da..... My God that 100+ Celsius is crazy! Why didn't the laptop shut down?

[@mcgrathkeller]

94 degrees CELSIUS? that's hotttt

[@galebcastro2170]

Amazing new test Great video ;D can you do the same for the toshiba e45-b4300

[@bassamkhalifa9226]

AMMMMMMMMAZIIIIING review man ! thanks so much ! i was abt to buy a pro 13" , but what do u think abt battery life on the x360 on both heavy tasks and light usage ?

[@BizarroNightmare]

Hey Andrew, theres a new gaming notebook out there called the Msi GE62. You should look into it soon :)

[@Eternal2007]

Dead. New account: I'mBizzy Awesome, I will look it up.

[@gaged8997]

cool

[@Alexandergmc]

Awesome thank you! would you recommend this laptop for office/casual gaming? how long do you reckon you could game before temperature becomes an issue?

[@DBJones277]

So I just bought this beauty. Mostly for work but be good to know what games I can expect to play on it. I wouldn't even have assumed to try Battlefield on it. But what about Pillars of Eternity, Endless Legend, and Tower defense games? Just bought Deathtrap as it seemed like a good level game for this thing.

[@DBJones277]

Love it. I usually use my desktop for most games but all the ones I listed have worked. Darkest dungeon as well. Get a mouse though. The right click button is in a weird spot

[@danielneumann9633]

Overclock, set settings to performance, clear it out, and get 10 fps more

[@Solomons-World]

Plz do a video on the HP Envy J140na

[@BBXFX]

I heard a few different opinions about the webcam. "Full HD" was more like Full VGA. Any thoughts?

[@thevampire85119]

Hi Andrew. Its really nice to see a Vietnamese guy who also got interested in Hp spectre x360 :D Where do you live?

[@eastdemon4125]

Damn that gameplay, wut rank are you

[@DanielBahena51]

Andrew does it get hot while playing csgo. Does it also make loud fan

[@tipoomaster]

Can you do this with the Kaby Lake one?

[@kathleenlake2583]

Andrew is there a youtube vid out for replacing the HP Spectre x360 screen / display? The hinges are out of my league , cant find the release to remove display assembly from base

[@ferencdemendi2583]

thx.

[@PavelPotashnikov]

What time is it works under load, I plan on it to take photos. Though about?

[@joshua.guevara]

Hey Andrew I know this video is a bit old but I'm so in love with this laptop. Don't know if to get this or the ux303 from asus. This looks SO good though you know? But that heat thing really bothers me my old ho overheated a lot but I love this so much! Any tips?

[@gabrielahernandez4236]

Hi! great video :) Do you know if Im supposed to turn it off? Because I know that in the case of macs most people just leave them at "rest" all the time, like we do with iphones that we almost never turn off. But I don´t know if an HP Spectre x360 also works this way or if it would stop working if it was not turned off for say, a month.

[@JohnnyZenith]

Is there a 15.6 inch version coming of this?

[@shaeugfie]

would this be a good laptop for video editing?

[@justinkeathley8448]

How well would it run skyrim? (I realize that the game is four years old, but I freaking love it so I know I'll want to play it on here)

[@brandona9326]

Justin Keathley well, it runs Dark Souls 1 flawlessly and my old pc which was much worse ran skyrim very well, so you're good for sure.

[@legendsquad9879]

Hi Andrew, first thank you for the video. Secondly, I did a review of all 2015 ultrabooks and so far HP Spectre is #1 on my list. As per your experience is the heating an issue for this model? Btw, I am just an average user, not a gamer, using mostly the internet, email and few other applications ocassionaly. Thank you for your feedback.

[@peterm.abrahambsnrn4198]

Was this on the 13" or the 15" model?

[@prabha23utube]

Compared to XPS ,spectre x360 seems hotter,but do you think spectre x360 is the hottest machine in this category of ultrabooks or other ultrabooks you tested so far?the temperature test results make me feel that spectre x360 is terribly hot.(because the numbers doesn't mean much to me as you only compared with xps which I haven't used so I can't put this into perspective to understand how hot the device is).is the temperature test result normal for a ultrabook of this category?or it's up normally hot?.You might have tested thousands of ultrabooks for stress tests so far, what do make of Spectre x360's temperature ?is it the worst you have seen?or this result is quite normal? I know I asked too much question,it's because I decided to buy this machine but now bit concerned about heat,I never bought a HP laptops because of their poor heat management but this seemed a nice machine.Anyway it would be very much useful if you could answer clarify all my doubts.Thank you.

[@Omari1125]

Would this run Maya Autodesk 2010 without crashing.

[@jonshaffett1774]

Hey I was wondering would I be able to run world of war craft on this?

[@nicolaid9883]

Nice reveiw. How laud is the fan? :)

[@jonfowler7375]

+Nicolai D The fan is very quiet and unless playing games hardly kicks in with other use (browsing, processing, work-related).

[@bhegedus77]

my i5 6th gen with 256 gb SSD is getting delivered tomorrow. no games fir me. strictly spreadsheets, weird processing, email, music, Web browsing and youtube/netflix. can't wait

[@dr.strange6458]

bhegedus77 I have been thinking day and night of getting the Spectre with the i5 6th gen. How do you like it? the good and the bad? also how much do you get of free memory from those 256gb? is it worth $1000 bucks..etc.. ty

[@Dnwudc8]

review the thinkpad yoga

[@Rhaa69]

How about Dragon Age 3, could I play it on this laptop?

[@SimplyBergman]

Hi, Andrew. Good video! But what about the tablet mode? What are the temperatures and noise levels then?

[@kamalmasarweh]

Also interested to know about the temperature and noise in tablet mode!

[@Eternal2007]

SimplyBergman Hi Bergman.. in Tablet mode the overall temperatures were pretty good. The only area where it was warm was the bottom left where the fan is. The fan noise was pretty quiet for the most part however it does kick on and off depending on your usage. The average CPU temperatures were around 51 degrees Celsius with a high up to 70 degrees Celsius. I was browsing websites like CNN, CNET, Yahoo and mixed video streaming like Netflix and KZbin. This was a 25 minute test and I was pretty satisfied with the overall heat performance in tablet mode.

[@Eternal2007]

[@SimplyBergman]

***** Nice! Thank you very much for your response and keep up the good work!

[@MrFadellity]

If I'm looking to play games like League of Legends or Overwatch on this laptop casually, how will it do?

[@HumorousObject]

Hey, not sure if you are still interested in the laptop but figured I'd reply. I have it myself and play LoL on it while at school and I usually get anywhere between 60-120fps. HOWEVER, after awhile (3 games) my fps will go all the way down to 2-5fps. Yeah. I think its because of how hot the laptop is getting so I just ordered a cooling fan for it. Otherwise, it can run LoL at very high settings easily and still maintain anywhere between 60-120fps.

[@RubyDoobieScoo]

how does this compare to the spectre X2? and how well will they run Europa Universalis 4? it's a fairly heavy cpu centric game and whether a laptop/laptop tablet hybrid can run it will decide whether I buy it so if anyone has any insight or recommendations it would be greatly appreciated, I'm looking to spend 2000 at the very most.

[@Zer0Company]

Nice video man, Im look to buy a new slim lightweight laptop mostly for studying but also for some gaming once in a while, i will not use it for heavy gaming tough (Overwatch, World of tanks, Civ) and im really concidering this alternative as it seems to be the best of these kind of "bendable laptops/tablets" but how does the HP Spectre x360 compare to the Yoga 900 or the Yoga 3Pro? Thanks ahead for answers :)

[@altzard6170]

perhaps im late but ill still anwer, first dont get the pro 3, a core m sucks big time, and between the yoga 900 and the spectre i would recommend the spectre, it has a better screen and support for synaptics, in the looks i personally rather lenovos but is beacose im biased towards the xps 13 wich has a sandiwch look such as lenovos yoga, in resume yo shoukd get the spectre but thats my opinion

[@kristroms]

i had a discount on a store where they didnt sell the XPS, i did go for the Spectre x360 with I7, Intel Iris and QHD. I`m very happy with it :)

[@Zer0Company]

yup its Iris

[@saiff1924]

was this i7 or i5 ... mine is i7 and i cant do damn thing. i am getting 75 - 80 by just web surfing (tried them all)

[@schuschu52]

Would this be able to run skyrim? I wouldn't need peak settings by any means, but could it handle mid-low?

[@Eternal2007]

schuschu52 The Intel HD 5500 will not be able to run Skyrim above 30 FPS. However, you can run it at very low settings at 1280 x 720 and get an average of 27 fps.

[@maritakoschedoubova6519]

Hello can gaming sims 4 on this laptop ?

[@returndrevenant4829]

Could this play ac4?

[@mujjuman]

Is there someone who did the same thing to the new XPS 13 with skylake?

[@kirikouwepeutihmecemonami4219]

But how does it handle league of legends ?

[@zane9793]

Can this play dying light?

[@JCshizle]

I think prefer this laptop over the xps mainly due to the fact that it's aluminum so there will no fingerprints on the laptop

[@JCshizle]

lol its only a few degrees hotter than the dell

[@hoodinisandstorm9727]

Good, my hands won't freeze during the winter!.

[@Jrockindo]

Ok, I really know nothing of laptops/computers etc. But can this one handle Guild Wars 2?

[@TimTams_64]

This is not a gaming laptop it is a model for content creation and entertainment.

[@jorgechabo9715]

But can it run games like league of legends and heroes of the storm?

[@mohamedmoudiab7607]

+Jorge Chabo it does for me , i also play Tera online on it

[@brandona9326]

Lol any pc can run LoL

[@moraserick5921]

What is the game

[@williamortega9484]

for some reason my dedicated video ram on my spectre x360 is 128 mb?? but everyone I know that has one can run actual games

[@lajloka1]

the laptop seen to run kinda hot right?

[@Eternal2007]

lajloka1 In some test it does run sorta hot. However, during casual usage the temperatures were pretty good it was just a tad higher than the Dell XPS 13.

[@prabha23utube]

Hey andrew.you said at the left top corner around vet it seemed hotter,and at the bottom too,but is it uncomfortably hot or just feels little bit warmer?.what about other parts of the machine?are they cool to touch?.and compared to XPS how hot does Spectra x360 feel to touch?is it significantly hotter to touch compared to XPS or not much difference when you touch both machine at the same time?

[@Eternal2007]

Josh Hey Josh, it's not uncomfortably hot but it feels very warm. The rest of the body is pretty cool compared to those areas I mentioned. The XPS 13 is indeed cooler overall from the internal parts to the keyboard section. The full aluminum on the Spectre x360 is very nice but it just attracts heat more than Carbon fiber with soft touch material which is found on the palm rest of the XPS 13.

[@prabha23utube]

***** Thanks Andrew.So i think this is not a big deal breaker for me considering tones of good features packed with this machine..definitely will go for spectre x360.Thank you for the wonderful review.

[@fennec7906]

***** Great review! So, because the machine throttles and the Dell XPS doesn't, would you say the Dell is better at multitasking? I'm a heavy multitask user. On my current laptop I usually have a video playing with 20+ Chrome windows open among other programs. So I'm wondering if due to high temperatures this will become problematic and cause crashing, freezing or sluggish performance? Also, if I was to rest the laptop on my bed (where I watch movies) will the back middle of the laptop get too hot since that's where part of the ventilation is? I'm a bit leery about HP products because a number of HP owners I know have issues with their HP's overheating. Plus, wouldn't the temperatures affect the longevity of the laptop? Overall I like the design of this laptop better than the Dell XPS 13 and It's a big plus that I get an extra USB 3.0 port and better keyboard. Looking forward to a reply.

[@lamya1167]

Among Elitebook Folio 1020, Dell XPS 13 and Spectre x360 13t Elitebook is the coolest i mean temp, but oh well (; specre is the second and Dell XPS 13 is the hottest. it can get really hot, 10 degrees above the norm

[@alexhails4137]

Can we use this laptop to play games like Cs Go

[@hxnnxssyy]

Watch the video mate...

[@tresjolieme81]

Will Secondlife play well on this this computer without over heating. I guess its a 3 D game but its mostly walking around or dancing in clubs. Does anyone know?

[@AbhishekPathak21]

Lisa Yes I have played it and it lags on my older laptop. I guess this can handle it pretty well, if it can handle CSGO at 1080p medium settings

[@mgv1996]

Can i play sims 4 with this?

[@skippyj9239]

no its way to low end...

[@genedy9233]

Why do I feel like a robot is talking?

[@jsavage4625]

Bought this computer. Very laggy, fairly slow. Wouldn't recommend to be honest, screen is pretty small too

[@phaseyon5825]

J Savage your internet I guess

[@alexanderalexander3891]

Can I play Minecraft pvp with this model?

[@Eternal2007]

Hr. Gudrun Yes, Minecraft is playable on this laptop.

[@gordoncheong2540]

How about modded minecraft ? Will it play smoothly? (About 100-200 mods)

[@jonahmartinez3065]

92 degrees Celsius!!!! That's 197.6 degrees Fahrenheit

[@--DM]

Hi Andrew, I have watched Linus video, where he water cooled Macbook and thought that was awesome idea, but maybe there is smarter way than water cooling. :D Can you make a short video of Spectre i7 stress test on something like this: www.webstaurantstore.com/images/products/main/130972/174087/plate-cooling-20-88rct-ss.jpg I am very curiouse how drasticly will that change performance.

[@cody5182]

Rather just get a cheaper Gaming Laptop

[@MikeHedges1993]

+Cody Ruffenach this is for people who want something incredibly thin and light, if you dont need that then its a waste to buy this

[@MikeHedges1993]

+Rohit Joshi my gaming laptop has 2 ssds in it with room for 3 more?

[@MikeHedges1993]

+Rohit ssd drives aren't that expensive anymore.

[@SafirAksel]

+Thormejh SSD are still expensive

[@MikeHedges1993]

Sapphire no they aren't, i got a samsung 500gb for 130 bucks on sale.

[@noobplayer_01]

Over 100 degree C?!?! HP What a joke! Same kind of convertible, Lenovo yoga runs much cooler

[@garyc7569]

intels run cooler than amd cpus... yeah BS
