1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:08,040
I never really understood why anyone would need a computer smaller thinner or

2
00:00:04,319 --> 00:00:10,360
lighter than a razor blade and then I I

3
00:00:08,040 --> 00:00:15,559
got a small procedure to ensure that I wouldn't have any more children and the

4
00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:17,920
doc was all like yo dog you can't lift

5
00:00:15,559 --> 00:00:24,160
anything for a bit so I was all like well hey how about this Spectre X 360

6
00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:28,770
2017 2 in1 from HP and then he was like

7
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:35,800
okay that looks pretty light

8
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:42,800
tunnel bear is the simple VPN app that makes it easy to browse privately and

9
00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:47,719
enjoy a more open internet to try tunnel bear for free check out the link in the

10
00:00:44,559 --> 00:00:50,440
video description some notebooks even

11
00:00:47,719 --> 00:00:56,840
ones that I like manage to use premium materials and solid internal hardware

12
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:59,760
and still feel like a compromise because

13
00:00:56,840 --> 00:01:05,600
at some point a designer figured that that extra millimeter or that cool

14
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:13,119
looking hidden hinge was worth whatever we were sacrificing not the Spectre X360

15
00:01:09,479 --> 00:01:16,640
2017 I've rarely seen such a marriage of

16
00:01:13,119 --> 00:01:18,840
beautiful design and pragmatism the

17
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:25,759
machined aluminum chassis is light enough to keep the entire device under 3

18
00:01:21,759 --> 00:01:28,560
lb and 14 mm thick but both the base and

19
00:01:25,759 --> 00:01:34,680
the display hold up shockingly well to my twist test with battery life coming

20
00:01:31,479 --> 00:01:37,880
in well over 4 hours in my usual PC Mark

21
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:42,720
work test a very strong result and the

22
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:45,560
core i7 7500u dual core could be cooled

23
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:50,399
passively but instead we get ventilation intakes along the bottom and a side

24
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:54,719
exhaust that stayed practically silent under light workloads while still

25
00:01:52,719 --> 00:02:00,520
allowing the processor to stretch its legs to 3.1 GHz under heavy

26
00:01:58,079 --> 00:02:07,680
multi-threaded loads since we're under the hood the rest of the hardware specs

27
00:02:02,719 --> 00:02:12,480
are what what are they exactly well mine

28
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:16,480
has a 256 gig NVMe SSD 8 gigs of RAM

29
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:19,599
onboard graphics and a 72% color gamut

30
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:22,080
whatever that means 1080p multi-touch

31
00:02:19,599 --> 00:02:27,360
IPS display that I would describe as pretty good but the product page for

32
00:02:24,959 --> 00:02:33,160
this thing tries to be everything to everyone and just ends up being really

33
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:39,280
confusing there's talk of optional 4K displays optional microedge displays

34
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:41,720
dual or quad speakers why does the

35
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:46,800
bigger model have only two speakers is that better and then in that case why is

36
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:51,879
four speakers a a selling point that's even got a sales pitch for NVIDIA

37
00:02:49,239 --> 00:02:57,480
graphics cards with a blurb under it explaining that the 13.3 in is only

38
00:02:54,760 --> 00:03:03,440
available with Intel Iris plus onboard graphics and they manag to get all of

39
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:07,440
that stuff on there without mentioning

40
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:11,280
the outstanding mix of IO on the left is

41
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:13,440
a typea USB 3 port a 3 1 12 mm combo

42
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:19,239
Jack and a power button that's easy to reach in laptop tablet or anything in

43
00:03:16,519 --> 00:03:27,000
between mode and on the right we've got volume control in the Frack Thunderbolt

44
00:03:22,799 --> 00:03:29,480
3 how did two Thunderbolt 3 ports not

45
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:34,560
make it into the marketing materials I had to confirm for myself by hooking up

46
00:03:31,959 --> 00:03:39,959
to a razor core that they are actually Thunderbolt 3 and not just fast charging

47
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:45,560
type c ports with a confusing graphic on them and they are it worked completely

48
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:51,159
seamlessly out of the box with the core and managed to handle an allight gaming

49
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:54,000
stress test in Rise of the Tomb Raider

50
00:03:51,159 --> 00:04:00,239
flawlessly and there's more good news some may object to the thicker top and

51
00:03:56,879 --> 00:04:03,560
bottom bezels but this is that function

52
00:04:00,239 --> 00:04:06,400
merged with form thing again the top is

53
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:13,280
thick because it rocks a decent 1080p webcam with wait for it IR emitters for

54
00:04:10,239 --> 00:04:16,560
Windows hello my favorite feature ever

55
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:20,199
and the antennas for the 2x two Wii that

56
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:22,400
performs admirably and the bottom is to

57
00:04:20,199 --> 00:04:27,240
lift the display off the desk a little bit meaning less next strain and give a

58
00:04:25,199 --> 00:04:32,919
little more depth to the product for the bang and Olson speakers that are and you

59
00:04:30,039 --> 00:04:38,800
can quote me on this the best I've heard yet on a thin and light I'm not sure how

60
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:40,600
they did it but they sound great the

61
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:45,800
keyboard and trackpad are a couple of mixed bags for me though the feel of

62
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:51,520
both is outstanding thanks to nice long travel distances with satisfying tactile

63
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:56,560
feedback on the keys and the glass top for the trackpad but there are some

64
00:04:53,840 --> 00:05:01,000
design choices that I disagree with here the widescreen aspect ratio of the

65
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:06,560
trackpad is great and both the tracking acceleration algorithm and palm

66
00:05:02,919 --> 00:05:09,199
rejection are topnotch but the click pad

67
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:14,880
has a very inconsistent feel from the top to the bottom that's hard to forgive

68
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:18,199
now that Apple Force touch exists as for

69
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:20,360
the keyboard it's off center seemingly

70
00:05:18,199 --> 00:05:25,560
to make room for dedicated keys for functions that I prefer to have combined

71
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:28,280
with function arrows anyway and this

72
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:33,840
misalignment forces your shoulders or your neck out of what back which is kind

73
00:05:30,759 --> 00:05:36,960
of a bummer because aside from that and

74
00:05:33,840 --> 00:05:38,880
the couple of QC issues with my sample

75
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:44,560
listen to this it's one of my favorite laptop

76
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:50,680
keyboards to date so conclusion time then at the price this kind of build

77
00:05:47,639 --> 00:05:53,319
quality would have been Unthinkable a

78
00:05:50,680 --> 00:06:00,160
couple of years ago the Spectre X360 2017 proves that two and ones are all

79
00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:02,319
growed up now and you can get a he hell

80
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:06,880
of an ultra portable computer starting at 900

81
00:06:04,840 --> 00:06:13,800
bucks you know what else you could get for 900 bucks six years of
