Pros and Cons

HP Spectre x360 14

Strengths

gorgeous enough looking quality build
Intel meteor Lake for 2024 is a good performer
the display on this is just so nice
the pen is included in the Box, take that Microsoft Surface for example
the keyboard on this is very tactile

Weaknesses

laptops with OLED displays usually don't have the best battery life unless you're displaying black all the time and those pixels are all turned off
the silver model will show up fingerprints and dust if touched often
the humongous trackpad may not be to everyone's taste
RAM is soldered on board, limiting upgrade options
Wi-Fi 7 is still a relatively new technology and not many people are using it yet

A fantastic display where everything looks flush and vivid.
Great input devices, thanks to a great keyboard and decent trackpad.
Some of the best I/O standards you'll find in class.

Weaknesses

Battery life could be a little bit better.

Self-upgradability options are very limited, with soldered RAM meaning you're stuck with the configuration you get.
No depth and a lot of distortion in sound even at lower volume levels.
Not ideal for full-time 4K video editing or demanding activities like multi-layer 4K video editing.
