New laptop

After years and generations of surface pro 2 and pro 4, I am finally switched! (note, this is early review, will update as I use the device more and more

Recently picked up this https://www.bestbuy.com/site/hp-spectre-x360-2-in-1-13-3-uhd-touch-screen-laptop-intel-core-i7-16gb-memory-512gb-solid-state-drive-poseidon-blue/6301163.p?skuId=6301163

 

before you say anything, yes I know it does not have a dedicated GPU, but I already have a stationary PC that's powerful enough for gaming, this is used for portable work and entertainment

I got the 512G, 16G ram, i7 version, not going to list all the spec as you can view from the link above

Pro:

  • best in class keyboard on laptop
  • color accurate 4k bright screen
  • long lasting battery life
  • very light (about 1.2kg) and premium build (yes it can definitely turn some eyeballs)

Con:

  • Trackpad (using synaptic driver, it is been the biggest complain in the past few generations and I am surprised HP still hasn't switched over to Windows precision driver)
  • The bigger than modern top bottom bezel, this is purposely designed this way for gripping since this is 2 in 1, but in my case I don't use the screen veridically

Surface pro 4, Mac book pro (use for work), spectre x360

 

and if you ask why I need a 2 in 1 ? this is the answer (GalGame!)

I briefly owned  Lenovo Yoga C930 before this one, the biggest issue that caused me to return C930 is their screen panel has a warm tone

which I heard it is good for displaying asian skin color, but I didn't like that, and did different color profile and calibration which did not work

 

lastly, here is some pictures taken from my new work place (Time Square)

Man, that laptop is so discrete and I like it. How has it held up after a year and a half? No problems with folding hinge yet?

one time it fell, left side of 360 hinge is moved a bit so opening has some friction, otherwise, pretty good

also latest x360 track pad uses precision driver, but the version i have uses synaptic, which is not as good
