Great 2 in 1 laptop
I bought this as a gift for my mother. She loves it. I personally enjoy my Spectre 2021 model. The Spectre model I got during the holiday season so there was a good discount. This computer is wonderful for everyday use. It came with a pen. The display is beautiful too and the touch screen responds well. I did like that for this 2024 model they added the touch ID on the power button as opposed to 2021 model where it was taking up a whole space where the ctrl button would be. What I do wish this model had that the 2021 model has was a physical button to turn off the camera. Additionally the 2021 model came with the laptop sleeve and this one did not. The laptop also connected well with my HP printer, albeit some issues setting up at first, but once that was solved very easy to bluetooth print. Overall wonderful 2 in 1 touch screen laptop.

Great 2in1 if you don’t need a Gpu.
This laptop was great, I just wish dedicated graphics was an option. I loved everything about it, ultimately returned it because I didn’t see myself ever using the 2 in 1 features, they just feel weird but it’s probably me.

Great laptop!
I got the midnight black color and I love the exterior because it’s gives off a shade of purple in the light. Used it for about 3 weeks so far. The fan is quite silent, the display is great and the tablet conversion synchronizes quite well!

Slow running computer
The laptop I configured had lots of RAM and ROM. I also have 1GB internet upload and download. Given all of this, the computer runs slow.

HP Spectre x360 2-in-1 Laptop 14 is EXCEPTIONAL
From my perspective, I find this laptop to be an incredible machine. It is well designed; sleek and performs extremely well.

Maybe not the best laptop to play audio
The audio from my old (2021) Spectre sounds better to me than from my new (2024) Spectre. The new one sounds muffled to me. But when I stream Spotify from the laptop to my receiver, the audio is very good. One other difference that's taking a while to get used to is the absence of dedicated Home, End, Page Up, Page Down keys in the new Spectra. Other than those issues, I'm pleased with my new laptop, especially the screen, which is better.

No sleeve with this order. Important to protect!
3rd one in 7 years. Something little missing....... the protective sleeve. Seems insignificant but I count on it for protection in my work backpack!

Faulty hardware poor customer service
I returned my Spectre within the first week due to faulty touchpad. But replacement has not arrived yet even after 3 weeks. In fact I have been charged two times for the same laptop with no refund of the old faulty Spectre which was received by HP 20 days ago. So the product is faulty with poor customer service. And I called every week for the refund and shipping info but no resolution so far. Thanks

Powerful little thing!
There isn't much not to like. Keyboard takes some getting used to, and miss my num pad but getting there. The different screen format is great. Colors are vibrant and sound is warm and rich. Weight on my lap is beyond compare to my large laptop and it stays actually cool! I think I made the right choice.

Some things are great, others not so good.
I love 2 in 1 laptops, and I love that HP allows you to customize them. The good things about this laptop is that it has good battery life. I charge it a couple of times a day, but mostly leave it off the charger. It's only new so don't know how quickly that might degrade. What I don't like is the screen, it has a yellowish tinge that drives me nuts. I tried calibrate it, I tried everything to make it not so yellow, but nothing worked. Also the sound is not great. But if you want an average laptop to do the job its a pretty good pick.

More of a tourer than a sports car . . .
Quite a good machine, bought to replace our two Specters from a few years ago. The new ones are slightly larger, definitely heavier and not so slim and elegant. Screen is vibrant, sound is good.

Love It
I love my new Spectre! It is my second one and I had the first for 10+ years. I was contemplating moving to a Mac air and while I found it comparable, having the touchscreen was an absolute must have. I recommend this computer highly!

Rough around the edges
Keyboard layout takes away from the entire appearance, font is way to big and capitalized. Very stiff when typing as compared to macbook

Outstanding Performance
I am using this for software development as well as personal use. I ordered a pretty maxed out configuration, I7, 32GB, 2TB, and W11Pro along with the "HP Universal USB-C Hub and Laptop Charger Combo" to supply all of the needed ports.
The combo has a USB-C, 2 USB-As, LAN, 1 HDMI, 1 Displayport, as well as pass through USB-C for charging and signal connection to the laptop.
Everything works great and performs superbly. Note that if you want the maximum of 2 external monitors you may need some adapter cables. For example, if both monitors are HDMI, you will need a "Displayport to HDMI" adapter cable as there is only one HDMI port.

Think twice before you decide to buy it
It didn’t work well from the first day. Have to replace it and have received for more than three weeks.

Great when it works…
The spectre is a powerful machine and has been my favorite since its original debut. This model, however, has lid flaws. It does not enter sleep mode when the lid is closed. If one leave it open about an inch, it’ll enter sleep mode. If it’s closed completely, it launches again. Many interactions with tech support has not remedied the problem. Also, audio is intermittent oftentimes needing a reboot for the audio to return. Think again.

Returned for refund
It was a junk laptop which I had to return for a refund because the camera didn't work and no one could repair. Why are you even asking me to review when it has already been returned?

DO NOT RECOMMEND
I purchased this directly off the HP website instead of through a third-party like BestBuy. This would have been by 3rd or 4th HP Spectre purchase. I have a 13.5"-ish model because I travel frequently and want something light that fits in a purse. Purchasing it directly from HP, I assumed this was the same model and/or similar to what I have now as it was the smallest offering available. When the item was received, it was not even close to my current model. It was large and much heavier.
I attempted to reach out to HP to see if they offered another version or maybe I just bought the wrong one, etc. The interactions with HP service reps made me insane. They did not listen at all and it was like pulling teeth interacting with them. Finally I decided to give up and just return the dang thing. And HP of course charged me a restocking fee. They should be reimbursing me for the hours of my time it took to deal with their pathetic customer service to return it.
FYI - BestBuy has a smaller model of Spectre but it is still not as small as my current laptop. I will not be purchasing another HP product anytime in the future.

Don't Buy A Spectre
Spectre didn't meet any of my expectations. I sent it back. 16GB ram not nearly enough and can't add ram.

LOVING my new HP Spectre 2-in-1 Laptop!!
I knew it was time for a new laptop. My faithful Dell (from 2013) was on its last leg. But I took my time, talked to friends & family, decided on features I wanted most, read reviews, and shopped around. Always a Dell customer, I crossed over to HP and it was the right decision for me at the right time! (They had an awesome sale this past July.) I’m still learning about everything this baby can do! I can honestly say that this is the most awesome laptop I’ve ever owned…14” touch screen, edge to edge display, amazing clarity & color, 2-in-1, and more!! Check it out, you will love it too!

Snappy and light laptop perfect for business use
Very nice laptop in 14 version. OLED is beautiful. Quite snappy in all applications. I got the 32G version with 1 TB of storage and it just works very well. Highly recommend it.

Great laptop with a lot of versatility
This laptop has it all with the exception of all day battery life. It has a great keyboard, screen, trackpad. It is fast; and doesn't get hot. The pen is okay, the camera and mic work great for conferencing. Windows works great on it as well, very quick and snappy. HP includes nice software to customize as well. I wish it was tucked into the settings menu, but oh well.
