I enjoyed your excellent real-world review because you hit all the hot-spots I needed to make my decision. Thank you!

[@NewStuffTV1]

+Michael Irwin No problem at all. Thanks for watching!

[@lewismurray9663]

It's Not Magnesium If It Was, Water + Magnesium = Mad Chemical Reaction

[@jp23x]

Michael Irwin this was obviously sponsored haha but I am considering it, this or the yoga 920.

[@NewStuffTV1]

+akachuy Sponsored doesn't always have to mean dishonest. 😎👊

[@joaofpocas]

same man, very usefull and insight on it

Finally, a reviewer on youtube that sounds like a rapper when reviewing =) Subscribing

[@NewStuffTV1]

+NeoAlgus 🤣😂🤣😎Thanks!

[@m4cdemos]

And you're saying that like it's a GOOD thing?

[@samuelirom]

I really like this review. Got what I needed to know and I like the way you talk. So smooth.

[@josuehernandez9427]

I love that when you are talking and doing the review you sound like you are talking to us like we are family or friends...which makes it feel more like a real honest review..thank you for your time of making this review...I am really considering this computer over the macbook pro 2017

[@jorgesmithers8599]

I made my decision, which didn’t come easy until I saw your video. Thank you so much! Not too technical yet straight to the point and informative.

[@NewStuffTV1]

+Jorge Smithers Thanks so much for the positive feedback! I'm sure you'll love it!

[@nicky5684]

Me too!

[@NewStuffTV1]

[@BlueElwood]

Great video, got mine 1 week ago and it performs just as well as you state

Great review! You should have wayy more subscribers!

[@NewStuffTV1]

+GameTechSuperSham Thank you!

[@jeffreyalai3607]

By far the best thing you mentioned, which is very accurate is that the laptop is "future proof." Everything will move to USB-C/ Thunderbolt, and this puppy is already ahead of the curve!!

[@christiethorold]

Great review. Thanks for your video.

[@CelineAdobea]

the most effective review I feel like I've experienced in my life 😂🙌🏾 thanks for sharing

[@NewStuffTV1]

Thanks for checking it out! 🙌

[@odethious5639]

I ordered the 15.6' 4k one. I can't wait to try it out!

[@NewStuffTV1]

+ODETHIOUS You're gonna love it!

[@markc3719]

Just giving feedback because i've been watching a lot of these xps 13, spectre x360, asus zenbook reviews lately. Keep doing what you're doing as far as format. As someone said, i really like how you don't waste 8minutes going through the specs which everyone sees on a spec sheet anyway. Viewers just want toisee/hear about real world scenarios. Also just an fyi, if you go into cpu settings and change the cpu power to 99% instead of 100% it stops the cpu from going into that turbo boost mode which helps a lot with heat without hindering performance too much.

[@NewStuffTV1]

Thank you!

[@nicky5684]

Exactly!!!

[@valeryt1997]

Great video! thank you. I saw below that you corrected its not 4k display hence the really good battery life ;)

[@mikaelfalk6720]

Great review, so tired of reviews that can't get passed the technical stuff which​ you just look up on a spec sheet anyway.

[@NewStuffTV1]

Mikael Falk Thank you for that. I feel like tech reviews need more personality. After all, the average consumer really just wants to know if it's gonna work when you need it to and how long g the battery will last.

[@j.bdamesi6366]

Love the review straight on points

[@NewStuffTV1]

Thanks for checking it out! 🙌

[@Seid108]

Great videos .... keep them coming ... LOVE & SUPPORT

[@NewStuffTV1]

+Seid Delic Thank you!

[@James-dy6zh]

the fast boot time is from the ssd not the processor.

[@eddiecobb959]

Ordered one of these with a 4k display, core i7, and 16gb of RAM. Can't wait to get it and put my trusty Macbook Air to rest.

[@NewStuffTV1]

+Eddie Cobb You'll love it!

[@SolarSailor]

Eddie Cobb How's your experience with the battery life so far? I want one with a 4K display but am still a bit nervous that it'll last only like 5 hours

[@eddiecobb959]

I really enjoy it. I've had it a couple months now and it's performing great. It's been a bit of a transition coming from a Macbook Air but the touchscreen and speed is pretty hard to beat.

[@NewStuffTV1]

+Tom Tom I know your question is directed to Eddie, but this has been my only computer since the day it arrived. It still performes just as good as in the video. The battery life is still REALLY good for me. However, I do charge it every day before bedtime. It does get pretty hot at time and you will hear the fan kick on, but it doesn't bother me since it doesn't happen all the time. Even when it gets hot, the performance doesn't seem to be affected. Hope that helps.

[@wickbob5374]

hey Eddie I really want to get this laptop for collage as it is perfect for collage and note taking and productive work. But the problem is I am scared to give up macos and break my apple ecosystem with my iPhone,mac and apple watch. Do you think the trade off is worth it.

[@korpulian]

YOU, sir, have to explain Huawei (and Lenovo), why I spent my money on this HP. Great review!

[@missbrownskinlady23]

Very very gorgeous and after all these beautiful reviews of the different 2 in 1 laptops I don't which I will get I'll make the decision when I go!🤩🙋‍♀️💻

A very great video! You are flowing through the video. Good job! What is about hand clench detection?

[@kruai453]

I just got this laptop and I love it!! Great for drawing, coding, and music production. And I'm still drooling over the Ash Silver styling option omg

[@franciskintungi]

So after a year, tell me is it worth buying? I want to get one for creative work

[@franciskintungi]

I see people say it is noisy and gets hot

[@shanyialexander]

Good stuff!

[@James-tz2qj]

Great vid man, bought today, happy to say the least :) subbed

[@lelizzy2746]

James Sykes how is the computer holding up

[@laceyoleksuik5516]

this actually helped so much!! I've been looking at all types of tablet laptops for drawing and school. I know now ima get this one. but hey! u forgot to mention if this computer will be great for artists!

[@NewStuffTV1]

+Lacey Oleksuik I'm glad it helped you out Lacey! Now as for your question... Hmmmm good for artist? It's hard to say because I'm so far from being an artist. But I WILL say that the accuracy and pressure sensitivity is great! The little playing around with drawing that if done didn't feel too unatural or querky.

[@NewStuffTV1]

+Lacey Oleksuik Hope that helps!

[@laceyoleksuik5516]

+Just Doin' Reviews N' Stuff yes thankyou! ur review was awesome and easy to understand!

[@NewStuffTV1]

+Lacey Oleksuik Awesome! This was actually a pretty tough one to do... It's a laptop and it does so much and there's so much I could talk about; but I had to keep it as simple as possible. I'm really glad you liked it!

[@linradke1751]

I love your energy :p

[@zane9793]

Nice review

[@mikedavonwash]

Thanks for the awesome review, I bought an hp Spectre but really hadn't watched many reviews on it. I will tell you that your are spot on. I do work using google drive, binge watch, household budgeting, slide shows, photo editing, and listen to music using a blue tooth speakers and head phones. It's light weight, easy to carry, tent mode is awesome, tablet mode is great for reading. My D.C Comics collection really looks awesome on the Spectre as well. Not sure if your a Vet or not, Great Shirt, Oorah!

[@NewStuffTV1]

+mikedavonwash I'm glad you're liking it. I'm still impressed with it and still nothing worth complaining about. And yes... USMC... Semper Fi!

you're one handsome man EDIT: I laughed so hard at 4:58 so relatable.. I loved this review, it put spectre on the radar.

you convinced me to get it, fam.

hp really stepped up their game... best windows laptops currently

[@bujarsalihu80]

I have the same laptop but no writer got it. From the internet an HP active pen ordered, but does not go ..? can you help me?

[@fulhouse1212]

I would love to have this Notebook for the school work :) i need some powerful and portable machine like this for civil engeneering :(

[@educationalchannel3815]

Would be really helpful if you can address my query: Can I do screen recording while writing using stylus (inking pen) and produce the same in form of a video?

[@MayitoTek]

that is awesome!! I need to hang out with you more often!! 😀👌

[@NewStuffTV1]

+MayitoTek Ha! I want to get a collab going someday soon!

[@MayitoTek]

let me catch up with you :)

[@gabia9224]

Thank you for this review! I was thinking of getting this for college and video editing.. what software did you use to edit?

[@everin247]

"we need that 360 baby" lol subbed

[@NewStuffTV1]

+Everin James 👊 Thanks for the support!

[@ivysantafe]

Great video, thank you so much! I especially appreciate hearing about your experience with the battery. I'm trying to decide between 4K and FHD display. I've been hearing that the 4K can really cut down on battery life. I don't do much video/photo on my laptop--but I do multitask a number of text, spreadsheet, and multiple website regularly. How long would you say the battery take to run down to empty from fully charged? Do you notice a drop in performance at 4K resolution? Thanks for your feedback, and keep up the good work on the reviews! : )

[@kick3n3mini]

I gotta save up for this.

[@emilywhite8041]

Hi! Great review, I found it extremely helpful. I'm just wondering what generation core this is (the spec sheet on the links didn't say). Thanks!

[@kodomolion76]

Could you comment on the heat management? I keep reading that it gets overheated too quickly. What is your experience?

[@NewStuffTV1]

+kodomolion76 There have been times where it has gotten pretty hot... Then of course the fan turns on. It hasn't been anything that has concerned or bothered me though. I'm not even sure I noticed a drop in performance when it happens.

[@user-dv3wy6lz6b]

HP has the latest new laptop market.

[@dalewangZJ]

I had bad experience with the heat generated which i just watching youtube only . and it's in air condition room.The heat is at speaker location .Do you guys had the same issue ? Do i need to look for HP support?

[@noother1196]

Do any of you guys know if this model has the issue of the motherboard burning out over time? There's numerous reports of this on the old one.

[@jesusortiz3260]

I got the exact same laptop. overall it's great! just one drawback would be that it gets pretty hot once you really put it to use like video editing.

[@markc3719]

just an fyi, if you go into advanced cpu settings and change it from 100% to just 99% it prevents the cpu from going into turbo boost mode and spares a ton of heat.

[@markc3719]

How is the battery life?

[@timothyflores7895]

great review! I can't decide if I should should get the HP Spectre or the HP Spectre 360x since I'm taking graphic design

[@timothyflores7895]

V Puduri thanks man great advice

[@Nana-ix8qx]

Please how did you set up if pen?, thank uAnd I love your video

[@H0LDENSUX]

Good review. My problem is it doesn't come with HDMI so I can't hook it up to an extra monitor? What's the cheapest solution to this problem?

[@ycy-wav]

My hp spectre (the same with 15", 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD and the Radeon graphics card) gets a blackscreen after using it for about two hours. Only my cursor shows, but i can't do anything. Then I have to force a shutdown and restart it. I already tried the things that were recommended on the hp website, but nothing changes. Can someone help? 🙂

[@amreen8949]

Does the stick works on how pavillion 360 convertible touch laptop

[@TTTHEAVEN]

I just bought this laptop, But not computer savvy. So it’s gonna be awhile before I can actually flow through this. It’s super cute and lightweight.

[@itsme-jx9xt]

can you compare it with the samsung notebook 9 pen? and tell us if they are suitable for university students. does this hp laptop have a voice recorder?

[@arjunmittal9419]

Hey, awesome review , but i would like to ask how is hp spectre for college work which includes using softwares like autocad etc for 3d graphic designing!! So which would be better hp spectre, macbook pro 13inch without touch bar, surface book or the all new surface laptop?

[@anneqert2]

What is pen that comes with it? I didn't get it so I need to find it

[@juicyman6920]

sick laptop

[@JustMe-gu5hc]

Excelllent review vid. Very Helpful...

[@NewStuffTV1]

+Just Me Thank you... Happy to help!

[@JustMe-gu5hc]

You're really pretty good with these review presentations, do you do it professionally? I picked one of the HP Spectre X360 UB, and it is very impressive. Have it connected to a 4K monitor, and its quite stunning. I use it for coding and virtualization, and it has a strong processor for that work, and very portable (..coming from a MAC background). Question: Regarding the X360 features (tablet, tent, and presentation stands), touchscreen, and stylus pen ---Do you actually use these features? Other than the "cool" factor with the touch stuff, I have not found it that useful. I'm guessing it takes a bit to adapt a touch ecosystem?

[@NewStuffTV1]

+Just Me Thanks for the compliment! This is about as "professional" as it's gets for me at this point. As far as the the added modes and features... I don't use the pen very often, only when I'm working with photos. As far as the different modes... I use all of them pretty frequently, not every day, but they actually do come in handy.

[@Zontois]

Could you do a review of the 15 inch? Cause I am torn between the two. I might so some light gaming (Skyrim, medium settings or witcher 3, extremely low settings) which is why I am going crazy for the 15 inch.

[@theharlemword3077]

Which video editing software do you use? I won one of these at my job Christmas party.

[@chelseaarends4087]

Just bought one of these

[@felixt1470]

I bought this in September of 2017. The screen is cracked tho still usable. They want $300 Cdn to replace it cause it is a touchscreen. I'm also looking for a hard case to protect it but having a hard time finding one.

[@KidCannon4407]

Hey would this laptop be good for music production and video editing?

[@akess505]

I'm either getting this laptop, or the Envy. I'm also looking at the 15 inch flavors as well.

[@user-mj6qr2ky9d]

Andy Kessler this laptop is soooo Good, i just got it

[@lelizzy2746]

Andy Kessler The battery life on the envy is no good, I have one and battery life goes down really fast with just doing internet browsing

[@lelizzy2746]

M. How is the laptop holding up, and how is the battery life so far

[@Sean_Lightning_OBrien]

How does the pen compare to other devises such as the Microsoft surface pro's pen?

[@NewStuffTV1]

+Sean O'Brien My old device is a surface pro 3... I feel like it's the exact same experience. Also, the surface pen works great with this.
