Hello, I had a HP Spectre x360 before and I loved the build quality and the looks of the laptop. What annoyed me was the mediocre battery life and the weight with the laptop. So this came to my eyes on amazon and after I lifted it real quick in a store, I left impressed. As my HP Spectre goes as a hand me down now, I need a new laptop and I thought I would like this one. After it arrived, I opened it and I was immediately surprised at the incredible light weight. I am somebody who uses the touch screen a lot when surfing and when I touched it the first time I thought I had immediately scratched it as the contact with the glass feels like you are touching cheap Plexiglas at home depot. Super weird, I was already almost done at that point. That would disappoint me every time I would touch it. So then I still set it up and I decided I will give it a chance. I think the entire laptop feels super cheap and plasticky. I understand as this is what makes it so light, but the combo of the feel and the odd screen texture just turned me off and didnt leave me smiling as t should be with a new toy. So I took it to a test an sat down and installed a few things while watching my team play hockey. Well, not sure if this is only this laptop, but after 3 hours of doing that, the laptop battery was down to 36%. Compared to people saying the lapop lasts over 10 hours, this is crazy. Not any better then my old HP Spectre laptop.So not impressed here either. To judge the rest for the quick time I spent with it, The fingerprint reader is super fast and works really well. The screen is good for a 1080p screen, very bright and to my astonishment very sharp. The keyboard feels good, solid and I got along with immediately. The trackpad is very responsive and the computer sees to be lightning fast. So all good, I just couldnt get used to the plastic feel after my Spectre. I will be returning it and will be getting another Spectre. The new ones are supposed to have pretty god battery life and jut an amazing build. My two cents, hope this helps
