Former VAIO Duo 11 owner here. I'm more excited about the Spectre Folio than I have been any convertible in years. Love the battery life, love the materials, and LOVE the form factor.

I've always had a headache making a choice of which laptop to buy till I watched your videos. Slick detailing like a pro. Thanks for the great job and God bless you richly.

I always come to your videos whenever I want to buy a tablet. I love your very informative videos.

I can listen to other reviews but I HEAR you. Love your reviews!! The Spectre Folio 13 is the sweet spot for me for laptops.

Wonderful, comprehensive review! Thanks!

always good content. thumbs up!

Awesome. Thanks for doing this video!

Thanks - again - for your excellent and charming work. - I was considering the HP Folio until I realized that there is no second (back) camera. Appreciating a decent cam for paper scanning and blackboard/whiteboard photography, this is a killer (but not in a positive way).

Microsoft and HP are killing it in terms of design lately. Microsoft seems to be the new Apple in many ways, which is great, imo. I have a Surface Pro 2017 and love it. But I've got to say HP is the more exciting in terms of design. They are really making stylish products that don't look like anything else on the market at all.

I really think MS and HP are getting along well. MS is definitely doing a great job of suggesting new form factors and setting up references, and HP is really doing good with building up on that.

Nice and informative review! Thanks

Thanks for the smack down Lisa! 😁👍

Your fan from Egypt Thank you for your time and effort

cant wait for you guys to review the HP Spectre x360 13inch 9th gen. i want to see how it stacks up to surface pro 6

Good reviews but by far the best t-shirts on youtube

Love you Lisa, You're Spectacular!!

Another great smack down, really like what HP has done here and they've made a unique product. Unfortunately, here in Australia, there's a $600 price difference between these two, even when taking into account the pen & keyboard add-ons for the Surface.

Hp ones are dead cheap on ebay because no one can figure out their naming scheme

another great video :) I decided to give up my gaming and simulator software's (I own game systems anyways) ... and go for the hp spectre :) . the suraface pro 6 was the only other one I was debating between and this video helped me make my decision on the folio.

Great review, thanks -- I think if you like a Surface as a single device (laptop and tablet), the HP is out of the running. I've already got the Lenovo for a convertible laptop that sometimes serves as a tablet, but if I can only travel with one device, it's the Surface. (That said, I currently travel with the Surface Go 8g because I really love the small size for those little coach tray tables ;) ) I think you're right about the keyboard as well - the surface keyboard is an acquired taste, but I love it.

hello everyone 10:20 almost 7 months in on folio. Looking good like a new.

Excellent smackdown

Thanks for your powerful videos Can u do a full review on surface pro 7

Hi Lisa, Thanks for your wonderful videos. Would it be possible to do a smackdown of the Folio vs Surface Book 2 please?

Thanks Lisa

for me the winner is hmm yeah it is a freaking Porsche.. aka Porsche Book 3200x1800 +500nits screen (SB2 is 360nits) and also better sRGB coverage then fx SB2 and other of the Surface line screen variants, and then you also get Wacom 4096 stulys on top, and not Ntrig + intel wireless that is way faster then fx SB2 in iperf-test on notebookcheck.. SB2 get 500mbps Porsche Book 650mbps. and build and hinge mech, no contest, + thunderbolt3 in the 7mm tablet section +50% bigger battery in tablet part then SB2 (25wh vs 18wh). Porsche Book should really make a vers2 as I was blown away by the vers1 side by side with SB2. ´way better then SB2 in build and screen and ports and 360 feature and the exact same touchpad as SB2. all the other 3-1 is mehh, though I do like what HP does with the folio 2-1 and real leather.. that will be nice to move around and touch. and on non ultrabooks My choice would go in direction of Asus Pro duo.

a comparison/review video on the 2018 iPad pro please

7:38 PS supports tilt for MPP(Former N-trig) digitizers. It gets a bit technical to set it up properly, but it still kind of works out of the box on modern versions of PS.

That folio looks terrific

MobileTechReview since you seem to prefer the surface pro pen, would it be possible for you to try using it on the Spectre folio? Since they both use entrig tech I was wondering if the surface pro pen would also work on Spectre folio and if the tilt levels would work better using that pen?

Great review. Thanks a lot! What about the folio European version with 16 GB ram? Do you have any scores for it on geekbench?

Great review. I do have a question. How do the manufactures come to conclusion on battery life? I'm not sure if I'm saying that properly or not, but it seems like they are really optimistic on such specs.

I have two problems/disagreements with Lisa's findings. One, I didn't hear mention of the sound, specifically when changing modes. While the speakers sound decent in laptop mode, the placement muffled the sound when adjusting modes. The sound is deminished because it is hidden behind sound absorbing and sound robbing leather when in tent or tablet mode. Secondly, the unit I tested did get warm when I was using it in tablet mode. Other than that, I enjoyed using the HP device. There were no flaws in found. It was refreshing to see something sort of unique because I liked the revisted design that Sony/Vaio created and HP certainly improved upon it.

I just bought a surface 6 and love it.

MobileTechReview at a $1,400 retail cost, it’s closest competitors are the MBP and Surface Laptop 2. I compared the speakers of the Folio with the Surface Laptop 2, the Folio sounded tinny and bass-less. There’s one more thing to mention, the Y series i7 is pretty bad. I saw noticeable lag on startup and heat dissipation on the bottom. This laptop is gorgeous but when you look closer, you see the cracks in the beauty. If someone has $1400 to spend, consider the Surface Laptop 2.

Microsoft's precision trackpad drivers should work with the Folio. It works wonderfully on my Pavilion and 2 Spectres and definitely makes me feel like I have more touchpad real estate. I prefer HP's trackpads over Apple's anyway, so I'm slightly biased :)

Hey Lisa, what was the name of the art app you suggested that helps with line jitter? "Lazy" something or other, couldn't make out what you said :-) Thanks!

Hey Lisa random question. I bought the laptop but haven't received it yet (Australia). I was wondering if it came with a case. I'd assume not since it itself is already leather bound but just wanted to know if it came with one in the box like previous Spectres

Here's the distilled comparison: the Notebook 9 and Pen family have a much better pen- likely that's most important to artists and designers. You also get a traditional easy on the lap design. Surface Pro is more compact and lighter to use as a tablet. Has a better screen too, though Samsung's are decent.

This reviews are so awesome that when a new one comes, I pour some whiskey and put relaxing background music before watching.

If you had to choose between the Surface Pro 6 or Galaxy Book 12, considering they have the same specs (only difference being the new gen of the i5 in the SP6), which one would you choose for someone more interested in a device for drawing ?

Can you do smack down with the best 2 in one laptops please.

Can you use the surface pen with the HP. Like would the erase feature work by turning the pen upside down

@DinglePinky

For me it was the surface go that replace a tablet and laptop. The pro is to big for one hand use. Surface Go has been my laptop/tablet for umm on the go but when I was using surface 3, which isnt a pro but has the same size as the pro, I didnt bring it outside that much because it cant fit on my lap and the armchair of my seat. I had to bring a heavy, inconvenient and hot as hell gaming laptop, at least that can sit on my lap and armchair without me worrying that it'll drop from small movement. That is why Go is better for that term laptop/tablet.

The Folio is the best 2 in 1 design ever!

Seems like HP could of did even better with both Pricing and Performance by going with Ryzen 2600 or 1500X.

I have the Folio 4K. Gorgeous screen, but it definitely hurts the battery life. Typical usage? 5-7 hours vs. the 1080p version. Nonetheless, I still love the device.

Which one is better Specter folio or Elite folio? Like faster, thiner and lighter?

Is refreshed product of sprectre folio coming?

it seems difficult for HP and microsoft to add a wacom EMR in 2k$ machines, but easy for others in 0.5k$ machines.

About a year ago my daughter bought a spectra laptop with the bang and olefson speakers system. She used it at college for a few weeks. The speakers crackled after playing for a few minutes. She returned it and got another. Same thing. She brought it home and I played it in my office sure enough speakers crackled. Others on Google spoke of the same thing. No fix. We returned it again to best buy got another. Well wouldn't you know it.... Crackling speakers. She returned it and bought a Mac. We tried.

Great comparison, thanks Lisa. I was close to buying the Folio, but swung to the Surface Pro for the edge of portability for travel working. But I use it as a tablet a lot. And compared to my outgoing iPad Pro Windows is just awful - so frustrating. Sometimes a finger works, sometimes the pen, sometimes neither... oh wait, it did, but the 5 sec delay meant I asked it to do something else! Maybe it's just getting used to it, but I wonder, do you think the Folio solves the lack of input sensitivity by having the touchpad available in tent-mode?

Brand of bag at 5:00 please?

Also, the type cover frequently disconnects. I have to basically detach and reattach to get it to work again... annoying... Hp design is better, as it just has the cover their the whole time.

Love the t-shirt. 🙂

What is the pen like on the Surface 6 for writing? All well and good doing a bit of a doodle but I'd have thought that most people want to use Onenote and take some notes.

Hi Lisa! Great video, I really like that HP is tackling Microsoft's (overpriced) Surface tablet. 2 weeks ago I watched your Asus Zenbook 3 review and ordered it from Amazon right away, AND I LOVE IT!!! However, it came with a "case" that closes using magnets and I'm worried that the magnets will damage the HDD. Do you know anything about this matter? I've read some articles that say that the magnets could potentially damage the HDD but they would have to be much more powerful and since the case came in the box I hope that Asus wouldn't put in the box knowing it's harmful.

@davidlugarov9685

You shouldn't worry about something like that. Asus would not put magnets near sensitive hardware, and I'm assuming that they are only powerful enough to clip together and stay shut, this is nowhere near powerful enough to affect the HDD.

Instead of making a lesser version of a Surface product, I think companies should make products with similar performance and price, but make them user upgradeable. It's not like they need to be waterproof! Make modular designs that are accessible so that these massive investments at least feel more justifiable.

Not a fan of HP's "executive desk accessory" aesthetic. And "leather" like that is a real leather substrate with a polymer surface that irons out all the imperfections in color and texture. I personally prefer an honest synthetic to plasticized leather.

The hp is the best deal
