Reviews for the HP Spectre x360 15-eb0036ng

HP's 15-inch flagship offers a 4K OLED screen and trademark slick design, but that fancy display (on top of the usual thermal challenges of convertible design) means the laptop runs hot and eats battery.

This brings us back to our earlier point about tradeoffs. The HP Spectre x360’s 4K OLED screen is a joy to behold. The laptop offers crisp audio, some neat security features, and a delightful keyboard. Still, for a high-end laptop, it’s not quite the workhorse you’d expect.

If you want the best screen you can possibly get on a laptop, the Spectre absolutely stands out thanks to the OLED display. That (plus the more affordable price tag) may push the Spectre over the edge for you, even given the minor sacrifices in other areas. Its port selection is also better than the USB-C-only competition from Dell and Apple, which means it's ideal if you don't want to deal with dongles for your HDMI and USB-A devices. For some people, that's enough—and this laptop likely won't disappoint, as long as you have easy access to occasional power outlets.

The HP Spectre x360 15 (starting at $1,599, reviewed at $1,849) must have approached Satan and said, “I want to have the most beautiful display in the world.” In response, the devil said, “I can do that for you, but in return, I want all of your battery life.” The Spectre x360 15 then shook Satan's hand and said, “You’ve got a deal!”

15-inch display variants are the standard and are used for more than half of all laptops.
The reason for the popularity of mid-sized displays is that this size is reasonably easy on the eyes, often allows high resolutions and thus offers rich details on the screen, yet does not consume too much power and the devices can still be reasonably compact - simply the standard compromise.
