buying HP SPECTRE X360 is one of the worst decision of my life. within 2-3years of slight gaming and mostly browsing this laptop showed me its worst phase. this laptops gets super hot while playing youtube video. Many Strange things happen, Whenever i put this laptop in my lap or move gently this laptop freezes and the screen starts flickering until restarted.this also happen when i press the keyboard body a bit hard. And with 4-5 hours of use(Display is on), The screen starts distorting and flickering continuosly and nothing is visible and it doesnt go away even after restarting. Strangely after 2-3 hrs of complete shutdown the flickering only then goes away. apart the speakers have completely  stopped working after 4 years and the laptop is overall very bulky and hard to carry around. Fears me of falling down. Its definitely not worth $2000 apart from its design

If you want the absolute most powerful 2 in 1 laptop, go with the new Spectre x360 15 with i7-8750H, 1050 Ti Max-Q, and OLED screen.

Otherwise, go with a 2 in 1 with an iGPU, there are many to choose from.

Spectre x360 15 with MX150 is 2 generations old and the Yoga 730 15 is due for a refresh in Q1 2019. Neither were particularly good laptops in their category.

That model comes with WLED, not OLED screen.

Am looking for a convertible laptop for the designing purpose (Textile industry) and for programming purpose. I am from India and I am going to buy in US via my friend. Please help me in choosing between HP Spectre 360 15 inch Mx150 and Yoga 730 15 inch ge force 1050.

Great review (as well as the Vega version and the comparison with this model), thanks a lot for your great work (the best in laptop category, by far) ! :)

Why do you rate it in Multimedia category?
"Multimedia - Weighted Average"
While competitors Lenovo 730, Asus flip 15 have Convertible category?

Why is there no Full HD?

Allen, I'm hoping you guys review that HP Zbook Studio x360 convertible workstation soon. It has the actual Coffee Lake processors.

Where's the Lenovo x1 3rd Gen tablet review?

I'm pretty sure this has already been for sale in the USA (as it has the UK), HP direct is the best place to try.

The Spectre line in common with Dell XPS' are fitted with more than one brand/model of SSD presumably according to demand. For the 2017 models reviewers got Samsung and many customers not quite as good models (Toshiba or Hynix).

I do want to know when will the Kaby-lake G model be available in the US. As far as I know, KBL-G model it's selling at China now, at 15999 yuan.
