Even better than before. This third generation model adds a few new features to last year's model including a NumPad, fingerprint reader, narrower bezels, and a slightly larger battery. Fans are quieter and processor temps are cooler. Physically, however, the system is not any lighter or thinner.

I do want to know when will the Kaby-lake G model be available in the US. As far as I know, KBL-G model it's selling at China now, at 15999 yuan.
I'm pretty sure this has already been for sale in the USA (as it has the UK), HP direct is the best place to try.
The Spectre line in common with Dell XPS' are fitted with more than one brand/model of SSD presumably according to demand. For the 2017 models reviewers got Samsung and many customers not quite as good models (Toshiba or Hynix).
Where's the Lenovo x1 3rd Gen tablet review?
Allen, I'm hoping you guys review that HP Zbook Studio x360 convertible workstation soon. It has the actual Coffee Lake processors.
Why is there no Full HD?
Why do you rate it in Multimedia category?
"Multimedia - Weighted Average"
While competitors Lenovo 730, Asus flip 15 have Convertible category?
Great review (as well as the Vega version and the comparison with this model), thanks a lot for your great work (the best in laptop category, by far) ! :)
Am looking for a convertible laptop for the designing purpose (Textile industry) and for programming purpose. I am from India and I am going to buy in US via my friend. Please help me in choosing between HP Spectre 360 15 inch Mx150 and Yoga 730 15 inch ge force 1050.

If you want the absolute most powerful 2 in 1 laptop, go with the new Spectre x360 15 with i7-8750H, 1050 Ti Max-Q, and OLED screen.
Otherwise, go with a 2 in 1 with an iGPU, there are many to choose from.
Spectre x360 15 with MX150 is 2 generations old and the Yoga 730 15 is due for a refresh in Q1 2019. Neither were particularly good laptops in their category.

That model comes with WLED, not OLED screen.
