A review of the HP Spectre x360 15-eb0001na premium 15.6" 4K OLED laptop
The HP Spectre x360 convertible is the pinnacle of HP’s premium range of prosumer laptops. The 2020 model has slimmer bezels, a smaller webcam unit, new GTX graphics options and naturally Intel 10th Gen processors. Is it enough to make it a flagship laptop? Let’s see if it’s worth an Archer.

The pen is quite bad, the handwritten notes come out terrible. The area for resting the palm is quite less, making it bit uncomfortable to type. And yes it heats, even for light usage, i always have to rest it on my cooling pad. It is a very good laptop nonetheless, but for the price, it should have been better.

Thank you for your revert. I am currently using Macbook Pro early 2015 and I am facing a lot of glare as I just wiped off all its uneven anti-glare coating. I hope glare is not an issue with OLED Hp spectre and also that its anti-reflective coating would not come off just like Macbook’s did after two years of purchase..

I would like to start off by saying this was the best review I have seen of the hp spectre! I do have one question, would you recommend configuring it with the 1 TB PCIe® NVMe™ M.2 SSD or the 1 TB Intel® SSD + 32 GB Intel® Optane™ memory ? I would be using the laptop for everyday browsing, youtube, Microsoft office as well as adobe lightroom and photoshop.

What 2 in 1 Laptop you consider is the best for using it with an extern monitor. Is there any 2 in 1 Laptod what can handle couple of taps opend, skyp, word and other things at the same time and perform good. Because it looks like for me that this model wouldnt handle it well. I need the 2 in 1 Laptop for university, cutting videos but not for gaming. Thanks for you time and you videos are brilliant. Sorry when there some speeling mistakes.
@Dovecomputers

The HP Spectre x360 will happily do what you need with plenty of performance. Most laptops will connect to an external monitor. The Dell Inspiron 13 7306 2-in-1 in my recent review shows that this is a very good 2-in-1 laptop. The 15 inch version is excellent too, especially the one with the Iris Xe Max graphics.

Why do UKpostsrs always (low-key) market Apple devices into Windows reviews? Last time I checked MBs don't have: 1. touch screen, 2. pen support, 3. 4k display, 4. 2-in-1 design, 5. 180-degree screen, 6. MicroSD card read, 7. number pad, 8. face recognition 9. upgradability, etc. MBs are not alternatives to HP Spectres. People want 2020, not 2010, hardware...lol Finally, why not review HP Spectres with a U-series chip?

In the past I have thought you might have gone a little easy on HP, this time I would have to dissagree. This laptop is designed for a specific type of user, a director, site general manager, or other executive level user. Clearly the design and display are most important here. I would argue based on the specs battery life is surprisingly good. A MSI gaming laptop with similar specs gets only about one hour on its battery. Also I would venture to guess that most users of this machine would not be road warriers anyway, so a docking solution of some kind would almost always be used, making the number of ports and types excellent. But that MSI gaming laptop with almost identical specs is under $1000, making this twice as much. So for the average user, or power user this laptop is a no go. But in the C Suite, this laptop would be sweet.

I'm a bit concerned about the heat. Should I wait for 15.6 inch OLED 11370H or 11375H until spring 2021 and go with built in Intel® Iris® Xe Graphics? I assume because of 28-35 Watt vs 35-45 Watt there will be less heat generated and better battery life? I think there won't be any more dedicated graphic cards since Intel® Iris® Xe has improved performance.... please Give your opinion. Thanks

@@Dovecomputers I'm going to be honest I have this laptop. You really should have reconsidered recording on performance mode. The difference between battery and plugged in mode is MASSIVE. You said light games ? I play league on the highest specs , all shadows all everything with apps in the background at 60 fps capped easy. Multiple games in a row. If I have the computer on battery mode the frame rate drops to 50 fps on medium .. it's a big difference. You can optimize your nvidia card settings and your thermal profile , network priorities, and power mode and you get amazing performance for a laptop that's obviously not a gaming laptop.

Dove Computer Solutions Ltd Correct, however i have done multiple battery callibatrion tests since i have called hp two times due to this same issue. The tests consist of entering the laptops bios settings and performing a memory test on loop until error(Which would only occur when the laptop completely discharges) during which the laptop does literally nothing except that singular test, and still manage only 4 hours to maybe 4:30. Would you consider this do be an issue worthy of return?(By your own criteria). Thanks for replying by the way!
