HP - Spectre 2-in-1 16" 3K+ Touch-Screen Laptop - Intel Evo platform Core i7 - 16GB Memory - 512GB SSD - Nocturne Blue

This is my second Spectre, the first being about 8 years old and still kicking. That's really why I got a new one, because the previous has served me so well. I had to replace the screen because it took a fall off a couch 4 feet to the floor. That shattered the screen but otherwise it was fine. Had to replace the battery after 4-5 years. Had to put in a new SSD because the original was so small. But with that, the core functionality remains high. This new Spectre is a little leaner, same screen size in a slightly smaller case. Large enough SSD. Fast processor. The ports are fine for most things with the move to primarily USBC style but there is still an A and all are fast. My one gripe there is moving from the SD card reader to a useless micro SD. I don't have any devices that I would take the micro SD out and put in a reader. All of my cameras use SD. So I had to but a USBC card reader. My other complaints are not directed at the PC at all. WIndows 11 is pretty annoying. Stop trying to sync and save everything to a Microsoft one drive. Stop trying to sign me in with my work profile. STOP trying to get me to log in to XBOX. Stop trying to get me to use Edge. Stop trying to feed my info I didn't ask for. But the laptop is generally great and a great value.

I absolutely love this machine. I use applications that are memory hogs and it is holding up like a champ. The display is vibrant helping with editing of photos.

This laptop literally has EVERYTHING. Huge SSD. Dedicated GPU. 4K OLED screen. Latest 13th generation processor. Everything I throw at it just works. Games, photo and video editing, surfing, productivity apps. And it was discounted for the holidays at a terrific price. Love it.

I love HP Spectre Laptops for its design and build quality, unfortunately they are missing below listed key features which are expected in premium laptops 1. DDR 5 RAM 2. TYPE - C Charger 3. Annoying USB-A Port which has cover that needs attention every time we use it 4. Graphics Card only available for Intel Core P series Processor Laptops, they should give it for Intel H series Processor Laptops as well. If HP does not fix these issues in upcoming year models

While the "door" that covers part of the USB port may look pretty, it is functionally a disaster. Every time I have to plug in a USB device, I get so frustrated that I want to throw the machine against the wall! Grrr,
