I purchased the previous year model of this through Micro Center, same specs except i7-1260p and 1tb SSD. That model is currently $799 in store at Micro Center and a better deal if you have one nearby. The difference between CPU generations is negligible, so it's $200 difference for 1tb extra storage.

I love it though, great size for productivity, the screen gorgeous, and the only issue I have with grainy text is on those software prompt windows that look like they're from Windows 95. Everything else is crystal clear. The keyboard, track pad, and touch screen are all top tier. Intel has really turned around this Arc GPU as well, you're getting roughly mobile 3050 and beyond performance, but because it was so buggy to start, you're reaping the rewards for a steeper discount.

My pro tips for OLED laptops like this: download a dark theme extension through your web browser (I use Firefox) and enable the dark theme in windows. It nearly doubles my battery life and reduces burn in risk. I also just prefer it. I keep it at the lowest brightness most of the time and it's perfect. The max brightness is BRIGHT. This is what a flagship laptop should be.

My only gripe is that I wish it was 32GB of RAM and maybe DDR5, but the installed RAM will be perfectly acceptable for the life of the laptop. And you're stuck with it because it's soldered to the board.

Glad to hear HP is developing good hardware again. We swore them off years ago after going through 3 laptops in 3 years, all mobo failures

Good deal. Would have been amazing if it had higher refresh and 32 gigs of RAM

As with my current Spectre, sounds like the typical problem with Windows and high resolution screen handling. Have you tried to replicate the issue while running your native screen at 1080p? (Or perhaps you are already familiar with the scaling issue?)

You may have access to advanced scaling settings to address this issue. I do wonder what the drivers for Intel's new graphics adapter support.

Good luck!

Same "problem": I'd jump on this if I didn't have a little bit longer before Microsoft stops supporting updates for Windows 10 on my current Spectre.

I keep watching these deals and repeating to myself that I'm just fine for now...

Good luck!

I don't really think this machine is optimized for gaming so high-refresh would be a stretch to justify...

... but the RAM limit also suggests this laptop isn't necessarily optimized for video production either (which the screen and video adapter config might otherwise balance toward). Honestly that falls in line pretty well with past Spectre models/configs.

In general this is a beast-mode productivity machine with capabilities for a lot, but not too much, more.

Good luck!

For 1k this is a killer deal. Nitpick the ram all you want. But your getting an oled ultrathin notebook with a P-series i7 AND discreet graphics! Its crazy to me. Very good price.

HP still makes plenty of consumer, throwaway garbage also. However, the good news is that the Spectre has largely become everything that used to make the XPS series attractive (which is significant since the Dell XPS has gone relatively down-market/midrange as of late). The build quality is high and the component mix is solid, so anyone looking to make a long-term investment would do well in this model range. The Envy line is almost confusingly close in configuration (and even some Pavilion Plus models border on their premium build quality). However, even main line Pavilion models are a big jump down (though some, like the x360, are respectable/serviceable).

Good luck!

Absolutely, but it's just tricky to resolve the application that might actually justify that particular combination of CPU, display, graphics subsystem, graphics RAM space, and system RAM config at that price. This, like most any Spectre, is aimed at best at someone shopping "premium but without any deeply demanding configurations that would probably kick them out of the thin and light category".

More system RAM and you're doing video editing. Drop the OLED and switch to integrated graphics and you'd have a killer mobility PC. Higher refresh display and more GPU RAM and you've got gaming (as it stands there is some case that this is a reasonable not 4k gaming PC).

Then again, at under $1k and being this pretty... LMAO

Good luck!

Yeah, my old XPS still holds it's own, but I definitely haven't been compelled to replace it with a new model. Still a big ThinkPad fan, moreso now that I see the day-to-day abuse and reliability in our organization. We deployed X1 Carbons, Yogas, and P14/15s, all solid machines. Cant say the same for the ThinkBook series, though. Hot garbage.

I'll definitely keep Spectre's in my field of view.

A370M which is as fast as a 3050 which is about as fast as a mobile 1060/1650.

bought a 2021 pre-owned spectre x360 for my fiance that same year and I had a 2020 Lenovo yoga at the time. Yoga crapped out, fixed, then crapped out again. Spectre still runs like a champ.
