The design has me seriously considering this little laptop. Like the S10 that will release soon, I sadly don't really care about other things. The design alone has me smitten.

finally a full review for this one hope the review on the 15 inch coming soon thank you very much
Clever design, looks like a nice machine. Over the years I haven't had much luck with HP though, not the best build quality, perhaps this is better.
That corner design is unbelievable. I would seriously consider purchasing based on that alone.

Be very careful with buying Spectre x360 series of laptops, HP support equals to zero and this models of computers have huge issue of motherboards burning. Mine died this week and HP does not care at all while laptop was 1500 euros. There is literally tons of users reporting the same issue with motherboards being burned as laptop heats a lot and is not sufficiently extracting the heat which ends up burning the motherboard, and that is basically the most expensive part on the laptop. Bought mine in 2016, used it only for business travel which would be less than 1 year, doesnt want to turn on anymore. Tons of users reporting the same issue, power light blinking but laptop does not want to turn on. This is happening at least since 2013 but HP doesnt care as long as we pay them. No more HP for me, they are scammers.

Easy setup and not too much bloatware and very simple to uninstall The few stupid apps they toss in. It syncs with my phone for text and voice messages. Very light and fast. Comes with 2 USB-C ports and 1 USB-A port. I also got the USB-C to HDMI dongle. Very classy looking.

You are incredible! One good review after another. Thank you for such wonderful work
Lisa, you rule tech reviews. I’m always blown away by your reviews! Subscribed for life.
Nov 2019 and this is still one of, if not, the best reviews I've seen on this. Checked out your comparison with the Yoga C930 as well --top notch. In leaning towards the C930 though (glass top to compensate for HP's poseidon blue look lol). Great stuff all along Lisa, much appreciated!
Love your reviews! So informative
OMG!!! I have that exact same shirt!! My husband bought it for my birthday this year! So cool! :-)
Your reviews are so easy to understand and delightful to watch.👍
I love how they not only incorporated an interesting design choice with the gem cut but actually USED the space. Very gorgeous laptop, honestly.
I was waiting for this! OMG! Thank you! Can't wait for the 15 inch if there are any differences if any
thanks for the great review. can't wait for the 15" review!
Lisa, great review! Thank you for your great insights and honest reviews! I appreciate your work!
Another great video! You're my favorite tech reviewer on KZread. Keep up the good work!
Love it ♥ Looks really fancy with that "gem cut", but quite good, also the location of the usb c port and the power button are quite clever imo. Nice review Lisa, as always ♥
Great review! Thanks! I bought the 15" 6 core of this model and I love it. The best notebook I ever had. And quiet for a notebook with this level of performance. I hope you review the 15" also.
Really looking forward to this. Thanks!
This is undoubtedly the most gorgeous laptop I’ve ever seen ❤️
Great idea about the port placements on the corners. Nice !

Writing this comment from this laptop. Definitely impressed so far. Will probably do first impressions and review somewhat soon. I'll talk more about pen performance with art since nobody really talks about it. Great review here though as always, was very instrumental in my purchase.
Bought that after you review. I have used it for 3 weeks now and I'm more than happy, I really hope that it will last next 5 years like my old Samsung laptop did.
Because of this review, I ended buying one of this, I love my laptop, thanks for a great video.
we love Lisa's review
Great video!!!! I love your review videos everytime. A little wish: please review the 15inch too
Seems to be a pretty great ultrabook, many well thought out changes. Thanks for the review :)
This is the most beautiful laptop I have ever seen. Aesthetics aside, its spec sheet is fantastic. If I were in the market for an ultrabook this would be at the top of my list. Excellent review as always Lisa.
Great rewiew on the 13 I would love to see the review on the 15 of the same model with an impresion over how well it handles heavy 3d work especially in terms of thermics!
Great review! I’m getting this next week!!
Thanks so much your videos are awesome and so helpful.
I always love your reviews! I bought the Envy x360 Convertible 13y when Fry's was pushing them out refurbished, and it never got any attention. I was convinced by the sales girl it was great for photo editing but then not even HP would tell me if Pen support was available. I'm stuck with a forgotten model and I'm not sure if I should upgrade to this one you reviewed. I still like mine, looks sleek, but it doesn't wow me.
Thanks LISA, always great reviews :)
Hahaha! The 'sup homies' had me rewinding it multiple times and in stitches everytime. Great work!
Ugh, just when I thought I had my options narrowed down, I find this review and have to add another laptop to the list of options. Great review as always, though!

Thanks Lisa, now I know a bit more about what I've bought!
I saw this review at least 5 times, but since yesterday I finally managed to buy my own "gem cut" spectre 13(it was finally on sale at Best Buy-$200 off!), I came back to watch it once again. This is the best review of my new laptop, period. I bought the 1w screen version because of the better battery life and also because the one with the privacy screen has noticeably dimmer and less saturated display, which is not good if you're like me and like to watch lots of videos on it.

HP is stepping up the game. This one looks stunning. I love the blue ash . the movement of the power button, OMG praise to the HP design gods for that. an the webcam spy switch BRILLIANT! I do wish that these slim ultrabooks could find space for more ports, even Legacy ports.

Anorax trust me after owning a maxed out Spectre x360, the MacBook is so much better. Short summary: The Spectre has so many issues and is hot and laggy. My 2017 touchbar MacBook Pro is absolutely breathtaking compared to it. And one more thing. The Spectre is beautiful, but it’s not sturdy. Macs are super sturdy. I’d happy comment a lot more about my experience if needed.

I had trouble with HP laptops that I am even staying away from them. For the more compact version they can get really hot which causes it to also slow down. If you get one with their HDD they can be really terrible slow that is just painful to use them.

hello friend, I'm considering to buy this product or the macbook pro 2017 (128 gb). I´d do basic work (photosop and indesign as max). With the the current sales, I can get the macbook pro for only 100 € more than the spectre. I need it to be endurable and portable. What has been your experience with the mac and the previous hp Spectre? What do yo recommend me? I'll do some gaming, too.
I have the Spectre late 2017 and couldn't like it more!
Lisa!!! My favorite tech reviewer!
cant wait for 15 inch review. been looking for something to replace my surface pro 3. Hope i dont have to wit for the 7
Shirt on point as always!
Thanks for this review -- especially since the 15 inch version of this laptop has a trackpad shifted off center, which has turned off a lot of us. I just wish Lisa would come down even harder on HP for these absurd battery life claims....
I’m buying one definitely
I'm sold! Damn that is one beautiful laptop. Just ordered one with the 10th gen Intel CPU. Went with the FHD for a full day of battery life. The Ice Lake CPU should give me 12 to 15 hours of unplugged use.

Great review, having it compared next to other ultrabooks is really helpful to imagine size and footprint. I should've gone for a dell xps 13 instead
your t-shirts are the best hey!!! love them
Thank you so much! This laptop looks nice. I'm gonna wait for a while to see if someone could compare it with the MacBook Pro 2018. My friends are trying to persuade me not to buy a MBP.
Nice one Lisa. This is one eye dazzling piece of art. Want to see a smackdown between this laptop and 2018 Apple MacBook 13
Thats some amazing looking laptop...I want everyone to make such
Hey Lisa! U still deliviring the best and most profund reviews! Can u tell when the Hp Spectre 15 (Hexa Core) review will be uploaded? I'm really starvin for this one since release^^
looks really cool
I got this laptop when it dropped In price on Black Friday such a beautiful laptop.
Great review! Please do the HP Envy x360 review :)))
When is the 15 inch review gonna come? I want to know if it gets even close to the xps 15.
A smack-down between the X360 and the Lenovo Yoga 930 would be great. And I'm looking forward to hearing your thoughts on the 15" Spectre X360.
Thank you so much
Lisa's on fire!
Lol the shirt and intro 🤣❤️❤️❤️
Great review! Can you also review the 15 inch one, with the 6-core processor and 1050ti?
I had HP Spectre 13.3 late 2017 model. Faced lots of problems with the heat. Finally HP admitted that the model had lots of issues and updated my model to 15.6 model
Hey Lisa, I was hoping to see a shot of the inside of this-did you shoot any B-roll of that? :)
Great review as usual! Any chance you'll review HP Zbook x2 that you mention and HP Zbook Studio x360? I would love to hear your opinion about them! They seem wonderful machines but they are extremely expensive and I would love an indepth review like yours before considering spending so much money!

Came right to your channel for the review. I know my peeps
Hi Lisa, Will you have a chance to review also the 15" version with GeForce GTX 1050Ti and compare it against the previous strongest model: HP Spectre x360 15 i7-8705G, Radeon RX Vega M GL? 13" model review is really great - thank you for this. It will definitely help to decide which model to go for.
I would love the 15 inch revieww!
My 2016 model has developed some sort of hardware malfunction and came to research whether to try and repair or upgrade. This and the 2017 model have me jonesing to upgrade! Only concern is not having a traditional monitor port, which I use when working on print design projects. I can't understate how much I have enjoyed my existing spectre as a former apple diehard designer. I don't have the pen, would love to try.
i am not here for this laptop. i am here to tell you that you are awesome u have helped me alot in my laptop purchases. atm i a m on msi gs 65 stealth thin. i wanted to thank you for making us decide what we should buy. Thank you maam
You have out smarted the menfolk in this field. How did you learn all these technical details. Very nice to hear all that, one needs to know about this computer.
Hilarious shirt, thanks for the review :D
You are the best! and I am thinking that this little beauty is the best for me. Thanks for the great review. I might not have the confidence to go for it without your approval. Lust is the word that keeps coming to my mind when I look at this little gem. LOL
I didn't like the new design at first but this blue colour looks stunning!
Is it 120hz capable in the settings like previous hp sureview displays?
Lisa, brillant as always... How do you compare the speakers to those of the Yoga C930?
I bought this laptop and ended up returning it. I have another Spectre with the 6th generation i7, so I thought this would be a great upgrade. The biggest issues I had was with the touch pad sensitivity and the keyboard. In addition to the sensitivity, I couldn't figure out how to change the size of the left/right click areas on the touch pad (something I can do on my older Spectre). Additionally, the keyboard backlight automatically going off after 10(?) seconds of inactivity drive me nuts too. I opened a case with HP support for both issues. There was no fix, so I ended up returning the unit. The laptop was beautiful and the 4k screen was amazing, but I felt the keyboard and touch pad were a big step backwards.
Way better than the Folio. The trackpad on that is unforgivably small. Even my Surface Go has a larger trackpad
I LOVE THIS LAPTOP BUT I LOVE LISA MORE ❤
Great review! Are you planning to also review the new 15 inch version? if yes please do an internal layout tour! I am a current vega m version owner, very unhappy with the cooling system, hope they have also updated it:)
I've been looking into the gem cut 15" Spectre X360 for a while now and trying to decide on the GTX 1050 Ti version over the MX150. When you do the review of that, could you cover some specifics of the graphics performance for CAD? I use Fusion 360, Inventor, and SolidWorks and I have not been able to find good answers on if I should get the 1050 Ti version over the MX 150. The best info I received (I think) is that most CAD doesn't really utilize the clock speed or cuda cores, but rather just the VRAM. I'm not sure how true that is, but I would love it if you could potentially touch on the CAD performance differences on the 1050 Ti vs the lesser available MX150. I should also add my hat to the ring of wanting to know more about the thermals. I'll often use the laptop for regular browsing and lighter use so I don't want the laptop to bee really noisy with the fans constantly running just for some web browsing and the like.
Lisa, you're the homie for real
Good video about a nice laptop. What kind of colour are the edges? On pictures they look like silver, in this video golden.
I seriously appreciate that of all the tech youtubers, Lisa focuses the most on what matters while others are busy making stupid videos like "Is this 99$ iPhone fake worth it?". Do you really expect it to be worth it? Even watching such stupid videos is not worth anyone's time. Thank you, Lisa. Thank you for staying real and humble!
Awesome review!! Would Love to have a smackdown review with the Lenovo Yoga C930 and against the latest Dell Inspiron 7000 2-in-1

YES THIS!
I like some of HP's changes, but I don't like how HP deleted the volume rocker from the side of the device. Having a volume rocker on the side of a convertible is a big selling point for me. When watching content in tablet or display mood I hate touching the screen to adjust the sound level.
