Rated 4 out of 5 by McBean from Yeah...pretty good Overall it's impressive, screen quality is awesome but little annoying quirks and slow responses on keyborad inputs occasionally. Might be my fat fingers but inadvertent switching to CAPS is a regular thing.

Rated 5 out of 5 by PeterW from Perfect for business, great camera and display I bought this as a replacement to my 2-year-old Envy I7 and am very happy with the purchase. It is much quicker than my old Envy, the screen is stunning, and the web camera is excellent.

Rated 4 out of 5 by VALERIAN from The Spectra screen is great & fast. keyboard should have been bigger & included a number key pad Purchased the Spectra 16inch 360 last month. So far, the laptop is working well. I have been a hp user for years however the last two laptops have been disappointing. The Pavillion had charging issues within approx 16months then bought an Envy 360 which then failed me just after the 3yr warranty period. I was not able to retrieve the data as the motherboard packed up so also the hard drive. Fingers crossed I do not encounter any such or similar issues with the Spectra.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Symn from See above review. Not happy at all. I purchased this unit to replace a six year old HP laptop. Very, very disappointed. Unit failed to operate properly, with it running virtual machines at a crawl. Machine also arbitrarily rebooted itself when left on battery power. Lack of Home and End keys a real hindrance. Machine was only days old and HP offered to send a technician to my home to repair it. Not good enough at all. Having to endure the faff of waiting in for a courier to pick up the machine in order to send it back, and a refund may take two to three weeks.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Jianzhong from Bad qualities After the new computer was setup about 2 hours, the fan of CPU1 make loud noisy and never stop, so it is in the period of replacement, till now I haven't got the replacement computer. By the way I want you that on April 8 I bought Envy x360 15, as the power button had no function I got it refund, then I bought Spectre x360 16 computer. During 2month I bought 2 computers and both had quality issues.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Jordan Mele from Well made and well tuned Runs cool, when the load demands it the thermal solution works remarkably well (lots of airflow that quickly moves heat out of the system). Colours on the display feel rich. Minimum brightness isn't as low as some other devices can go (but gets low enough), maximum brightness is very good. High resolution so everything is clear, even when looking closely at the display (handy when using a stylus). I've been using a Surface Pen with this in Affinity Photo. Tip-to-screen alignment is good and pressure sensitivity works. While the pen isn't made for this device, it can attach (loosely, I wouldn't rely on it) on the right side. In the standard laptop orientation sound is good. Plenty of volume and most of the range (bass, etc) is there. Quickly wise, I'd put it somewhere between the Surface Book 2 13" and 2021 Macbook Pro. In tablet, tent, etc orientations the sound quality takes a big hit but remains better than, say, the Framework Laptop 13" with the default un-calibrated speaker setup. One odd thing I've noticed is that sounds often seem to be delayed. For example if a Windows warning dialogue box appears, there is often a delay of 1 second before the accompanying sound is heard. This delay issue is inconsistent and does not seem to affect all sounds. The touchpad is absolutely massive on this thing and haptic feedback is in place giving a consistent feeling and audible 'click'. I was bullish on this when it was first introduced to Apple's Macbook lineup, but it has grown on me. Especially considering it enables a nice consistent feel for a touchpad this large. There is a downside to the touchpad being as large as it is however... Sometimes my palm will touch one of the edges and it'll misinterpret the input as a gesture. This is really annoying when it happens. The USB-C ports seem to have poor signal integrity. I have a USB-C switch (an ATEN model) so I can quickly change between my desktop and laptop while at a desk. The switch also passes in power over the USB-PD protocol. When I connect it I get assaulted by "use the correct charger" notifications that appear and disappear every half second, and no USB device successfully connects. While disappointing I hold this as more of a indictment of the USB-C protocol and the ecosystem around it, I've experienced all manner of issues across many devices. Before buying this device I have sunk hundreds (maybe even thousands) trying to come up with a combination of accessories that "just works" and the best I got was "it works for my work MBP and home desktop, most of the time". Do I believe HP can do better here? Absolutely, but I would say that for any company (and USB-IF). One concern I had when considering my purchase is software bloat, thankfully my concerns were mostly unfounded. The only piece of true bloatware was McAfee when was easily uninstalled. One catch though, HP asked for my email address in the out-of-box-experience (OOBE) and sent it to McAfee (I received marketing communications which I swiftly unsubscribed from). I was not informed this would happen (burying it in legalese does not count, no consent for marketing communications was granted). That unpleasantness aside, overall bloat free. On the repair-ability front (the following from visual inspection and existing online teardowns, I'm not ready to void my warranty just yet); - Base can be removed. It is held in place by 4 star-headed screws. I don't _think_ any are hidden under rubber. - SSD is removable and replaceable. - WiFi card is removable. It can probably be replaced too, but finding a supported model for a laptop tends to be tricky. - RAM is soldered. If you expect to need more, you'll need to buy a higher tier model. 32GB is the maximum (most 2-in-1s max out at 16GB right now). Camera is decent, so is the mic. Both have electronic kill-switches, the keys for which have an orange light that comes on. When the webcam kill switch is active, a physical shutter covers it. There is a camera activity light, but nothing for the mic (nothing beyond what Windows does natively that is). Typical battery life is 6+ hours (a far cry from the new ARM64 Macbooks and not the best among x86-64 laptops but a solid result; falls short of the Surface Book 2 13" which at least when first released lasted 8+ hours). Under the most taxing continuous load it has dealt with so far (Foundry VTT with default settings, if you use it I strongly recommend dropping down the framerate and graphics quality, it is a very poorly optimised piece of software) it lasts about 2 hours on battery.

Rated 2 out of 5 by Trevor A from A Mixed Bag with a Silver Lining The laptop boasts an attractive design and an impressive screen, yet it's hampered by a significant drawback: it comes heavily laden with bloatware and outdated drivers right out of the box. This results in noticeable lag when navigating between Chrome tabs or switching between various applications. Despite being equipped with a top-tier Intel CPU and operating on maximum power settings, the device fails to deliver a swift, responsive performance. However, there's a workaround to this issue. By removing the bloatware and updating to the latest Arc video and CPU drivers directly from Intel, the laptop undergoes a transformation. It's important to note that the drivers available on HP's support site are significantly outdated—lagging more than six months behind Intel's releases. After making these adjustments, the laptop becomes an exceptional device: fast, efficient, and a pleasure to use. It's a stark contrast to its initial sluggish state and showcases the potential locked away by easily remediable oversights. Despite the eventual positive outcome, I've rated the laptop two stars. The need to manually update drivers and remove bloatware represents an unnecessary hassle and time waste, which could have been avoided had HP ensured the device was fully optimised before release.

Rated 4 out of 5 by kevin45 from All I really need Nice all-rounder laptop. Beautiful screen - not matte though. Super powerful - runs smoothly editing c-log files and plays games well on low graphics. Speakers also sound really good and keyboard is so nice to type on. Humongous touchpad is so nice to use. Would've liked to see a usb-c port on the left side and an sd card reader. Having come from a 13 inch ultrabook, the bigger screen size, more power and longer battery life is such a luxury. I commute to uni every day so the only thing I don't particularly enjoy is the weight but an increase in weight would obviously come with a device that is much larger. I don't mind the trade-off but keep it in mind for ur own purposes.
