Best laptop I've ever had
Ive had this laptop now for 3 weeks. Overall incredibly happy. My wife and family ask to constantly use it and everyone thinks it is a Mac. Pros: 1. Beautiful QHD screen. Colors are accurate, displays great on my 4K sony TV. Has good brightness and the text is incredibly clear. I notice the text when I'm making a powerpoint or document. 2. Touchscreen - Ive never had a touchscreen computer and didn't know if I would use it, but I do alot. Works great with windows 8.1. 3. Incredibly fast on all front. From load time to shut down, to loading applications. 4. SSD and USB 3.0 work great and I know see how important these features are as ive never had them on previous laptops. 5. The keyboard is outstanding. Great spacing and feedback with every click. Great for small and large hands due to layout and individual keys. 6. Great connectivity with 3 USB, full HDMI, microdisplay, memory slot. 7. Speakers work great, clear and load. Cons: 1. First 1-2 weeks the computer ran hot close to the fan. However this past week, has improved greatly and im guessing was just a break in phase. 2. The mouse pad is large. I like it as the guestures are even better due to the large area to use. However occasionally the double touch tap to click an item doesn't register. no big deal but noticable. 3. The fan noise again was on the louder side the first 2 weeks when the computer ran hot, however much better this week. 4. Kind of heavy to run in full tablet mode. Overall amazing computer and I feel is the closest thing to a Mac, except with windows.

Great design and build, brilliant screen
After thorough research into buying a new laptop, I finally decided on this one. I had it narrowed down to the 13 inch MacBook Air, 13 inch Macbook pro, Dell XPS 13, and this one. I chose the spectre because of my allegiance to Windows, I got much more powerful internals (and a beautiful screen) for less money, and a couple things turned me off from the XPS such as the awful webcam placement and lack of an HDMI output. Pros: The spectre x360 is a beautiful machine. I love this model's QHD display, and especially love that it has the option for use with an active stylus. The build quality is incredible and very comparable to a macbook. The hinges are sturdy and it feels just like what you paid for. I love typing on the keyboard, there is a lot of key travel and the metal keys just feel very high quality. While I was intimidated at first, the excessively large trackpad is actually a nice touch. The palm rejection works well and it gives you a lot of space for gestures. It is also very responsive and smooth and feels almost as good as using a macbook's. The touch screen is fantastic, although I don't seem to use it much. This machine works fantastically with Windows 10 and perhaps I will integrate more touch-screen usage the longer I have it. Best of all with this model is the power under the hood. This thing is a rocket to use. Startup is so quick that it's even difficult to get into the BIOS menu if you need to! It also runs non-demanding games quite well! I can play StarCraft II at 1920x1080 with low to moderate settings with an average of 40fps, never dipping below 25fps! Finally, while it's a little on the heavy side for ultrabooks, it is so thin that I don't even notice. It's extremely portable and never a burden. Cons: First of all, the biggest complaint from others seems to be that the f5 backlight LED never turns off. This was annoying until I found that going into the BIOS menu you can turn it off, so not really a con in the end just a minor inconvenience. I really wish the keys were black instead of silver, or at least a darker silver than the rest of the body. In low light when the backlight isn't necessary it can be a little hard to see the keys, although again this is just a minor inconvenience. I also do hate that the up and down directional buttons have been condensed into half-buttons to fit the rectangular keyboard area. I've had one annoying problem with the trackpad, which is that ever since updating to Windows 10, the three-finger flick gesture (one I use very frequently) seems to stop working after waking up the machine from sleep mode. This may get patched soon, but for now it is really annoying me as it only works with first startup. I don't like that the power button is on the side of the machine as I've accidentally hit it a couple of times during use, but I understand the need as it's for use in tablet-mode. Which brings me to my next point, this might be just an issue for me, but I don't understand the point of a 360 degree hinge. This laptop is a very unwieldy tablet unless you lay it on a table, and i rarely use the tent or presentation modes. It's a nice feature to have when using an active stylus on the table in tablet mode, but for typical laptop use, i'd say it's more or less gimicky, but this is likely just because I rarely use the touch screen. The speakers are okay, nothing special. I'd much rather use headphones at all times. When watching HD videos or doing anything demanding, the machine does run a little hot. Not uncomfortable, but just a little too hot. Finally, given that this model is the QHD touch screen model with the i7 processor, the battery life isn't as good as if you were to get the 1920x1080 model with an i5 or i7. It still lasts me at least 5 hours with constant HD video streaming, and upwards of 8 hours with regular browsing, so it isn't always necessary to carry a charger, but still it could be better. TL;DR: I love this laptop. I get the feeling I might have liked the macbook pro more if I wanted to grow accustomed to OSX, but as far as windows laptops go this thing is the best. Ultra-portable, ultra-powerful, a true piece of art to behold, and a joy to use. I plan to use this in all of my college classes and will be taking notes with OneNote using the Dell Active Stylus in tablet mode on a table.

Had to replace destroyed previous laptop
I have had so many laptops in the last 15 years last one was an HP first ultra book with touch screen I ever purchased loved it for 2 and a half years until the fateful morning forgot to zipper backpack/briefcase/portable office and laptop fell out also had neoprene case which wasn't fully closed and totaled screen and cracked off motherboard from screen it wasn't perfect it had a few quirks like sometimes wouldn't boot up and had to do crazy things to get it to boot up was like this from first month also had poor quality camera and poor battery life but after getting used to it and knowing we're all my files were ETC. really loved it plus HP customer service was top notch I mean they really took care of you I never took extended warranty before but when I was prompted to purchase full protection waranty after owning it for two years I bought it and sent it back to HP they sent back completely refurbished like new laptop which I gave to a coworker who was in need of a laptop. Now to how I wound up buying the specter 360 so I was paralyzed without a laptop and also needed more space for files especially picture files so first I purchased a dell 7000 series very thin and light but large 15.6 screen with I7 processor and 8 GB ram and 1 TB hard drive I had never bought a dell laptop before and this one had lots of bells and whistles and was very well priced for a mid range unit I don't know if it was a lemon or windows 8.1was to blame but it was my worst nightmare had to do 2 factory resets which were performed by my companies IT head he cloned hard drive prior to resets also I finally after years and years bought a back up drive more on this later anyhow I wasn't happy with the dells performance very slow for a machine wit an I7 5th generation proceser also have I pad and I phone both solid state devices so started considering replacing factory hard drive with internal SSD drive until night of horror was leaving for international business trip in morning and laptop started freaking out was to late to have company IT guy do factory reset and clone hard drive so I called Dell customer service big mistake besides taking 45 minutes to go threw telephone maze to get right service or more like wrong service expert who said only way to fix major problems was to do another factory reset but first put all my data 500GIGS worth on my backup drive which would take 6 hours than do reset than reinstall data another 7 hours I was between a rock and a hard place I had to catch a flight in the morning halfway around the world and had presentations and files necessary on my laptop to make a long story short she messed up big time and lost so much important data I went on my trip I rebuilt proposals an presentations which were saved to my desktop which she totally lost Dell never again I don't know how they stay in business with such horrible customer service and hardware . So when I returned I decided I was going to return the Dell and either buy an apple product even though I'm an old dog that doesn't learn new tricks or the very best windows laptop whatever the cost penny wise dollar foolish so I returned the Dell and purchased the Lenova Yoga 2 14 inch with an I5 processor and a 256 GB SSD that night I read the reviews and saw that a lot of people said the same thing after a few months the machine would start bugging out on them and they had to do factory resets than I started reading the reviews on the brand new HP Spectre I didn't even open the Lenovo I went back to beast buy returned the Lenovo and purchased the top of line HP Spectre with a 512 GB SSD and I 7 processor with a 4k screen so far I love it I'm still learning its features and windows 10 I think the only issue so far is the battery life which was promised is a few hours less depending what I'm doing on the machine but still far supreme to any battery life I've ever had before I get approximately 7 to 8 hours will call HP about it also took a little time to get used to mouse pad configuration on this sleek super fast sports car of a laptop the craftsmanship and build quality are so rich and sleek the size is perfect so far very happy will buy one for my daughter in college who has been using MACS her whole life but needs a windows based system for the business courses she's taking.
