00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:08.040
I never really understood why anyone would need a computer smaller thinner or

00:00:04.319 --> 00:00:10.360
lighter than a razor blade and then I I

00:00:08.040 --> 00:00:15.559
got a small procedure to ensure that I wouldn't have any more children and the

00:00:12.440 --> 00:00:17.920
doc was all like yo dog you can't lift

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

00:00:20.160 --> 00:00:28.770
2017 2 in1 from HP and then he was like

00:00:24.160 --> 00:00:35.800
okay that looks pretty light

00:00:35.800 --> 00:00:42.800
tunnel bear is the simple VPN app that makes it easy to browse privately and

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

00:00:44.559 --> 00:00:50.440
video description some notebooks even

00:00:47.719 --> 00:00:56.840
ones that I like manage to use premium materials and solid internal hardware

00:00:53.440 --> 00:00:59.760
and still feel like a compromise because

00:00:56.840 --> 00:01:05.600
at some point a designer figured that that extra millimeter or that cool

00:01:02.640 --> 00:01:13.119
looking hidden hinge was worth whatever we were sacrificing not the Spectre X360

00:01:09.479 --> 00:01:16.640
2017 I've rarely seen such a marriage of

00:01:13.119 --> 00:01:18.840
beautiful design and pragmatism the

00:01:16.640 --> 00:01:25.759
machined aluminum chassis is light enough to keep the entire device under 3

00:01:21.759 --> 00:01:28.560
lb and 14 mm thick but both the base and

00:01:25.759 --> 00:01:34.680
the display hold up shockingly well to my twist test with battery life coming

00:01:31.479 --> 00:01:37.880
in well over 4 hours in my usual PC Mark

00:01:34.680 --> 00:01:42.720
work test a very strong result and the

00:01:37.880 --> 00:01:45.560
core i7 7500u dual core could be cooled

00:01:42.720 --> 00:01:50.399
passively but instead we get ventilation intakes along the bottom and a side

00:01:47.920 --> 00:01:54.719
exhaust that stayed practically silent under light workloads while still

00:01:52.719 --> 00:02:00.520
allowing the processor to stretch its legs to 3.1 GHz under heavy

00:01:58.079 --> 00:02:07.680
multi-threaded loads since we're under the hood the rest of the hardware specs

00:02:02.719 --> 00:02:12.480
are what what are they exactly well mine

00:02:07.680 --> 00:02:16.480
has a 256 gig NVMe SSD 8 gigs of RAM

00:02:12.480 --> 00:02:19.599
onboard graphics and a 72% color gamut

00:02:16.480 --> 00:02:22.080
whatever that means 1080p multi-touch

00:02:19.599 --> 00:02:27.360
IPS display that I would describe as pretty good but the product page for

00:02:24.959 --> 00:02:33.160
this thing tries to be everything to everyone and just ends up being really

00:02:30.440 --> 00:02:39.280
confusing there's talk of optional 4K displays optional microedge displays

00:02:36.000 --> 00:02:41.720
dual or quad speakers why does the

00:02:39.280 --> 00:02:46.800
bigger model have only two speakers is that better and then in that case why is

00:02:44.080 --> 00:02:51.879
four speakers a a selling point that's even got a sales pitch for NVIDIA

00:02:49.239 --> 00:02:57.480
graphics cards with a blurb under it explaining that the 13.3 in is only

00:02:54.760 --> 00:03:03.440
available with Intel Iris plus onboard graphics and they manag to get all of

00:03:00.440 --> 00:03:07.440
that stuff on there without mentioning

00:03:03.440 --> 00:03:11.280
the outstanding mix of IO on the left is

00:03:07.440 --> 00:03:13.440
a typea USB 3 port a 3 1 12 mm combo

00:03:11.280 --> 00:03:19.239
Jack and a power button that's easy to reach in laptop tablet or anything in

00:03:16.519 --> 00:03:27.000
between mode and on the right we've got volume control in the Frack Thunderbolt

00:03:22.799 --> 00:03:29.480
3 how did two Thunderbolt 3 ports not

00:03:27.000 --> 00:03:34.560
make it into the marketing materials I had to confirm for myself by hooking up

00:03:31.959 --> 00:03:39.959
to a razor core that they are actually Thunderbolt 3 and not just fast charging

00:03:37.760 --> 00:03:45.560
type c ports with a confusing graphic on them and they are it worked completely

00:03:43.200 --> 00:03:51.159
seamlessly out of the box with the core and managed to handle an allight gaming

00:03:48.080 --> 00:03:54.000
stress test in Rise of the Tomb Raider

00:03:51.159 --> 00:04:00.239
flawlessly and there's more good news some may object to the thicker top and

00:03:56.879 --> 00:04:03.560
bottom bezels but this is that function

00:04:00.239 --> 00:04:06.400
merged with form thing again the top is

00:04:03.560 --> 00:04:13.280
thick because it rocks a decent 1080p webcam with wait for it IR emitters for

00:04:10.239 --> 00:04:16.560
Windows hello my favorite feature ever

00:04:13.280 --> 00:04:20.199
and the antennas for the 2x two Wii that

00:04:16.560 --> 00:04:22.400
performs admirably and the bottom is to

00:04:20.199 --> 00:04:27.240
lift the display off the desk a little bit meaning less next strain and give a

00:04:25.199 --> 00:04:32.919
little more depth to the product for the bang and Olson speakers that are and you

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

00:04:35.520 --> 00:04:40.600
they did it but they sound great the

00:04:38.800 --> 00:04:45.800
keyboard and trackpad are a couple of mixed bags for me though the feel of

00:04:42.960 --> 00:04:51.520
both is outstanding thanks to nice long travel distances with satisfying tactile

00:04:48.720 --> 00:04:56.560
feedback on the keys and the glass top for the trackpad but there are some

00:04:53.840 --> 00:05:01.000
design choices that I disagree with here the widescreen aspect ratio of the

00:04:58.400 --> 00:05:06.560
trackpad is great and both the tracking acceleration algorithm and palm

00:05:02.919 --> 00:05:09.199
rejection are topnotch but the click pad

00:05:06.560 --> 00:05:14.880
has a very inconsistent feel from the top to the bottom that's hard to forgive

00:05:11.600 --> 00:05:18.199
now that Apple Force touch exists as for

00:05:14.880 --> 00:05:20.360
the keyboard it's off center seemingly

00:05:18.199 --> 00:05:25.560
to make room for dedicated keys for functions that I prefer to have combined

00:05:22.520 --> 00:05:28.280
with function arrows anyway and this

00:05:25.560 --> 00:05:33.840
misalignment forces your shoulders or your neck out of what back which is kind

00:05:30.759 --> 00:05:36.960
of a bummer because aside from that and

00:05:33.840 --> 00:05:38.880
the couple of QC issues with my sample

00:05:36.960 --> 00:05:44.560
listen to this it's one of my favorite laptop

00:05:41.720 --> 00:05:50.680
keyboards to date so conclusion time then at the price this kind of build

00:05:47.639 --> 00:05:53.319
quality would have been Unthinkable a

00:05:50.680 --> 00:06:00.160
couple of years ago the Spectre X360 2017 proves that two and ones are all

00:05:57.000 --> 00:06:02.319
growed up now and you can get a he hell

00:06:00.160 --> 00:06:06.880
of an ultra portable computer starting at 900

00:06:04.840 --> 00:06:13.800
bucks you know what else you could get for 900 bucks six years of

00:06:10.880 --> 00:06:18.639
