Title: Review HP Spectre 13-h205eg x2 Convertible
Post by: Redaktion on November 18, 2013, 10:28:12
Silent companion. Haswell makes it possible: HP offers a fanless 13.3-inch notebook with the Spectre 13 x2, which transforms into a tablet with a push of a button. However, the bulky detachable is certainly no bargain with a retail price of almost 1,100 Euros.

Bought an Envy 15, not even one year, aluminum oxidizes to black, screen has dust collecting between panel and glass... took it to support "We can't cover that with warranty"... "Why? Dust in screen is clearly defect" "Cause we have to replace the whole panel" "WTF kindof answer is that? how is that my problem" ... shitty hp

Great review. Thorough as usual. For any readers in the US, this laptop is currently on offer at the Microsoft Store online for $999 [http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msusa/en_US/pdp/HP-Spectre-13-h211nr-x2-Touchscreen-2-in-1/productID.289653400 (http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msusa/en_US/pdp/HP-Spectre-13-h211nr-x2-Touchscreen-2-in-1/productID.289653400)]

Thank you, nice review! I wonder why HP chose not to include the new HP Control Zoneā„¢ trackpad, which HP introduced in the HP Spectre 13 ultrabook? Looks like a nice feature, which leaves prospective x2 buyers wanting!

Crap - no one will buy a Core i5 tablet that isn't upgradeable to 8Gb and this isn't, because the RAM is soldered on the system board.

If you compare this with the different versions of their Split x2 series, you will come to the conclusion that something maybe wrong with hp.

Great review....I'm also concerned that it's not upgradable.

I bought this convertible in January and I'm happy with it.

I wanted to quickly note that the dock itself is capable of being used as an external power bank for portable electronics. I use mine all of the time for this purpose. Even without the tablet attached the keyboard dock still allows devices to charge from it's internal battery, which comes in very handy for someone that's always on the go and wants to minimize the amount of hardware they have to carry on their person. Aside from that little factoid you pretty much touched on every pro/con of this device. Personally I love this as a secondary portable. It's useful when I don't want to haul my massive desktop replacement with me but still need to be able to do some simple PC functions on the go.

You cant hold it on your legs while sitting, because of display-mount-system which hurts its sharp edges.
Display colors is OK but it have very big clouding in the corners and near the windows touch button.
Speakers are very silent.
Sorry for my english.
