HP Spectre 15 x360 has two versions, one is just a big screen Ultrabook with 15W TDP U series CPU and MX series low end graphics and another is like XPS 15 with 45W CPU and gtx 1650 graphics.
This one is the first type and buy it if you're looking for a big screen high resolution Ultrabook, not a powerhouse.
Don't get the XPS. My father in law bought one for my sister in law for college because she needed a really powerful laptop (she's an engineering major) and it was back to Dell twice for repairs and took months. Best Buy eventually refunded her the full amount and she went with a Spectre.
I bought one of the Spectre X360 15t GTX 1650 models a couple of months ago, and have been having issues with it.
I bought a larger SSD and cloned the original SSD into a larger SSD. Swapped the larger SSD into the laptop and it booted fine, but then the SSD bricked shortly after.
Then I sent the larger SSD back on warranty, and tried again when it was returned to me. Same thing happened: it booted fine with the SSD the first time, and then bricked.
Also have this machine. Pretty pleased with performance and the screen image quality is nice. Had multiple issues with the speakers which required me to send the unit back to HP to be fixed. Also had the screen crack and had to replace it...$450.

So it is HPs fault that you bought bad SSDs? I have bought several of these and the elitebook version of the x360 and besides minor issues with drivers they have been solid computers. Really though at this price point but the elitebook version. Has better hardware and support.

The SSD was working fine until I installed it in the laptop.
