This is the third Spectre I've owned, so obviously I like them. This one is another solid member in the line. Literally solid! It has nice build quality and seems like it will hold up like the others did. Performance-wise it's fine. It's not going to break any records, but it has plenty of power. My main disappointment is that they took away the numeric keypad and the physical camera on/off switch. I assume the keypad was removed to make room for the bigger speakers, but don’t think that was a great trade off. And I assume the camera switch was just a money saver. That's my other issue, this is a fairly pricey machine. But overall, I'm happy with it.
I would recommend this to a friend!

After 5 years of owning a Spectre laptop, it was time for an upgrade. The old unit was still functioning fine and never had a breakdown, but I needed increased processing power and more RAM. After evaluating available offerings, I realized that the reliablity of the old unit guided me to buying another Spectre. I chose this model for its processing power and the 32GB of RAM. My older unit had both Intel and NVIDIA graphics, but since I never used the NVIDIA, I was alright with the capabilities of this model.
This unit has a limited number of USB ports, so if you use many external device, you will need to purchase a separate docking unit. If you like to connect to Ethernet at your desktop, a multi-functional docking unit with Ethernet becomes essential. I have had success attaching such a unit through the USB-C ports.
The placement of the Power button is a considerable improvement over the earlier models, because it is now visible (on the keyboard) and large enough for large finger tips.

This machine is simply not quite as fast as it's specs might indicate. I was really hoping for faster without going to a full 'gaming' machine, for various photo/graphics/3D projects (not gaming). That's the disappointing part, the irritating part is the trackpad; oversize (leads to accidental random clicks) and overly sensitive without a real, noticeable effect on sensitivity using Settings/Devices/touchpad/touchpad sensitivity. Drivers have been uninstalled/reinstalled, cured an initial failure with palm detection but not overall sensitivity. The humongous, oversize pad I thought would be a plus, but it makes simply typing harder with random clicks. Otherwise, great touch screen, nice having the extra landscape after a decade on 14" machines. Sound also superior.

The laptop was a great idea for our family, but the scroll area is so big that when you rest your palm, it moves and makes changes to your typing. I wanted an HP for performance, but I would choose a different laptop with a smaller scroll area to eliminate interference with typing.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Best laptop ever. Sleek big but not bulky. Thanks for having this powerful laptop with 2-in-1 capability in the market at an affordable price.
