I liked my old Lenovo 2-1 Yoga 11 inch.
I needed a little more storage and I wanted to upgrade before starting new activities (video editing).
I was not looking for a full OLED screen but now I love it. Its so clean and crisp. Unfortunately, I now want an OLED screen for my desk monitor.
The keyboard is also great. It, too, has made my Bluetooth remote keyboard inadequate.
I didn't need a finger print logon but now I love the security and ease.
I also upgraded to Office 365 which I was avoiding and find the new programs powerful and convenient to use.

As a Tech Nerd, Complete Package In My Opinion

Please read, because you won't regret it.
This laptop hits all the boxes in my opinion, and there is a cheaper version with less RAM and Drive space if needed.
SCREEN:
4k Display is no joke, OLED is no joke in the sunlight. Use Edge for 4k video due to Chrome stutters.
Touch Screen is great, accidental touches on the side due to thin bezzels, but I can settle with that sacrifice.
Pen touch was garbage at first, then an update smoothed EVERYTHING out, and I mean everything.
POWER:
I7 10th Gen isn't a joke, and Iris Plus lets you play games with a Jet engine in the background. Don't expect a gaming machine out of the box, it has limits being so small. You can only cool this thing for so long before it starts to struggle. Get an external GPU, and have yourself a great time with a sleeper gaming laptop.
Sound:
BANG & OLUFSEN tuned speakers. This laptop is a great media device. Due to the hinge, you can turn the keyboard around, and have the speakers point up. This was one of the surprises I did not expect.
Little Additions on why I bought it
- Keyboard isn't thin, and clicky. Has a lot of travel, and I love typing on it
-Bluetooth 5.0
-Great Battery, when it isn't a jet engine (I get 6-7 hours)
-I will say it again, OLED 4k screen is amazing
-Small Form Factor, think Surface Pro 7 without the bezels.
-MicroSD card slot for even more storage
This little monster of a machine is my daily driver. I commute on the train to work as an Analyst, and this thing can do anything I throw at it.
Text looks amazing when I work, Videos look amazing when i'm at lunch. This doesn't feel heavy in my backpack, and does not feel like a plastic toy.
Hope this helps, use this in good health.

This 2-in-1 laptop has it all. The quality of construction is very good, and I especially like the smooth hinges. The size of the screen is perfect, and the laptop is very light and easy to carry around. Memory size and operation speed is excellent and quiet. The main reason that I purchased this model was the fantastic 4K OLED Ultra HD Touch-Screen. It is awesome and definitely the best that I've every seen. If I needed another laptop or bought one as a gift, this would definitely be my choice. Great job HP!

Bought this to do high end solid modeling and nc programming during the pandemic. Very impressed with its speed and graphic capabilities when connected to a 4k 28" monitor via the usb-c port. Was able to have multiple sessions of my software open (VISI solid modeling and 3d machining from Hexagon)with large solid files (100-300mg)and never bonked. I do wish it came with more usb-c ports and could benefit from another 16 gig of ram when processing large NC files but at the price point and availability I certainly can't complain.

After 2 weeks of shopping to replace my damaged laptops. I set my eyes on this model. It is very light, portable, powerful, and yet the screen is very clear with high detail to view.
The price is on the high side however, for the price - when it is on sale, it is a good value! If you are in the market in a ultra light laptop with full feature packed in portable convenience, this unit is a must on your shopping list. Go to the Best Buy and see one on the floor for yourself.

I like it. The sound is dismal at best. You can hardly hear anything, even on 100%. It heats up really fast and really hot. And it stays on, even on "sleep" mode. So the computer is still running, burning energy, running the fan and being HOT, when it is supposed to be sleep. It is fast, light and very nice looking and does what I need it to do. The touchscreen is very helpful. But all the extra stuff, alexa, corina, etc is useless to me; and it doesn't work. I really haven't used it as a tablet yet, but did some experimenting with the drawing app and it was okay. If I was an artist I'd most likely purchase a better app (my 11 year old daughter was clowning the drawing app that comes w/ this computer). Overall it does what it's supposed to do. A work from home computer that I can connect multiple additional screens to. The camera/video quality is very very good for zoom or other video conferencing. And if you are integrated into the Microsoft/Office family or network then this is the computer for you. It was exceptionally easy to set up my remote network and work from home. Much easier than the MacBook Pro I had. It sinks to my phone, which is nice, but the text messaging feature does not work. When i reply on the computer, no one ever receives my texts. But all my pictures transferred over from my phone very smoothly, and as with Apple, you can have all of your email accounts in one centralized location. Although I wouldn't recommend this computer, if they fixed the issues that I stated above, I would definitely recommend. My two cents.

This is great laptop computer which is well made big storage space and memory. On the other hand the claim of 15 hour battery time is simply false. In fact getting more than 3.5 hour on one charge is a minor miracle. Why companies like HP make such claims is unconscionable. The built in camera is also mediocre

I was not sure what type of laptop I wanted when my old one finally died, however, the staff was extremely helpful in showing me all that was available. I ended up choosing this one because I liked the touchscreen and tablet functionality, it is very light weight and had great processing speeds. I'm still getting used to using the pen but the more I use it the easier it's getting.

I was weary of trying HP as I have been a Dell customer for over 14 years. Based on the config, I tried this one for the first time. On Day 1 of my purchase, I found the laptop heating too much and the sound for videos was pretty low.
After the first couple of upgrades and updates, I am totally in love with it. It's light weight, handy, good performance and fast.
A few things I found on a downside was that once I turn it on in the morning, it takes more than 10 seconds to show that start up has started. Initially I did not understand that this was taking time and kept pressing the button.
Another thing is that I can not keep the laptop on my lap and work for more than 5 mins. The fan being right below, it always needs a table or non-fabric thing to be placed on. The heating issue has reduced over time, and in the tablet mode, it always heats up at the base, maybe because of the fan.
Overall, my purposes are to watch movies, check emails and play games. In addition attend classes, and maybe in future for some work. But it's great with memory, the OLED Screen has simply raised the bar with how I will look at beautiful pictures, and screen clarity and it's performance is very fast after the initial 15 seconds. It starts up with finger touch at a great speed.

Loved this computer for its looks, speed, features and its outstanding display. I had a little concern due to shorter battery usage due to the OLED display. If you primarily use this while plugged in, it is a great computer. I did end up returning this to buy a different HP 2 in 1 laptop with same design but with 15” display and dedicated graphics card.

I have had this laptop for about three weeks. The clarity of the screen jumps out at you. It is easy to use and set up. There is a ton of hard drive space. The laptop is portable and small enough to carry. It is fairly lightweight. The battery life is the only thing that I am still not sure of. It seems less than what the specs show. I have had HP laptops in the past and they disappointed me. First impressions are very favorable for this one.

This HP Spectre laptop is fabulous. It delivers on all of it's promises, mostly. It boots up fast, runs fast and efficient, is great for multi-tasking. The weight, camera, 2-in-1 feature, fingerprint login in, and other bells and whistles are fabulous. The only drawback is the sound. When I saw that the speaks are Bang and Olufsen, I was thrilled. I assumed (mistake) that because they are such a great brand of speak, the sound would be incredible. The sound, what little bit you can hear is great. Unfortunately, maybe because of the placement underneath, the sound is WAY TOO LOW and a huge let down. It is very hard to get a decent volume of sound from this laptop. You certainly can not hear much from it with any background noise. And you almost always will require headphones to really hear good volume. For nearly $3,000, the last thing I expected a laptop to fall short on is volume. If HP correct this, this laptop will be stellar.

Killed by a weak battery life

Overall, loved this 2 in 1! The screen was pretty impressive, especially when watching movies . The background of lighter solid colors when browsing and working in Word, had an odd vertical subtle streaking effect. What really killed it for me was the inability get more than four hours of battery life, even with the screen set to it's darkest setting and in full battery saver mode. If your life is always near an outlet , you may enjoy this slick looking device.
I had to return it.

i am enjoying this PC already I popped in my dell Docking station and have 3 screens running. It is very responsive. Very nice looking as well.
My only gripes were, it showed more ports than it actually has and It advertised as Upgradeable in some reviews to 32 GB of Ram. I looked up to see what I could get the ram for and found it is stuck at 16 gb.

This a very nice small light weight lap top computer. It does run warm on the bottom so be sure it is on a flat hard surface.
The battery life is only about 5-6 hours when used for email, without adjusting any brightness or other settings.
The keyboard is comfortable to type on if you have slim fingers.

Been using this computer remotely for work on a daily basis for long hours and for personal use. My work requires me to open multiple items/software and multi-task at once and so far it’s been working quite well. The image quality is also quite good. Sound was clear but just ok for listening to streaming videos. The few connection issues I had were mostly with the host computer while working remotely but that’s not this computer’s fault. Do wish the screen was at least 14” and there was a way to store the pen with the laptop eg. magnetic pen that’s attachable to the laptop like the Microsoft Surface Pro or has a built-in pen storage compartment like the Lenovo yoga C940. It also seems to take a while to boot the computer when you turn it on. Once it’s booted all the apps and functions work pretty fast though. Wish there were more ports and a better portable dock for it. The HP Spectre dock that you can buy separately could be better. Also wish it came with Windows 10 Pro OS instead of the Home edition for the price you have to fork out for this laptop.

I've been a HP Spectre x360 Owner for many years now. They are Small; Beautiful; Fast; 2-in-1; Made Extremely Well; Etc. At the time (5 years ago(?)) - They were Rated the Highest in their category by Consumer Report - And they still are Currently Rated the Best - With Dell being the closet and possibly better by a slight margin.
However - I am not Dell Buyer - And I'm Kind of a "Only the Buy The Best" - Snob. So when I saw this model - With the OLED Screen (to match my new OLED TV) - And Tapered Corners - And (1) TB SSD; Etc. - And IT IS JUST BEAUTIFUL - And On Sale for $1,499.00 - Well That Just Pushed me over the edge.
For Now - I'm running Parallel Spectre's - My (5) Year Old and This One - Just for Smooth Transition Purposes. I could not be more Pleased with my NEW HP-Spectre x360! The OLED Screen is Amazingly Beautiful too. If this is in your Budget - Just get it - And Thank me Later ...

With the reduced screen borders and light weight it seems like I am using a bigger computer until I look over at my wife's MacBook Air and it is almost the same overall size with a postage stamp size screen! Performance is outstanding. I highly recommend this machine.
