Anyone got HP Spectre x360 hands-on user experiences/opinions?

I've watched a lot of reviews and the reviews say both are good but I've also seen a lot of forum posts regarding the HP that I can't decide whether they are user created problems or whether they are from the factory problems

Cheap laptop to run Diablo3?

I think you're going to be incredibly hard pressed to find a laptop that runs a newer game with good graphics at any reasonable level for that price. You could probably find something that runs it but not well and certainly not with the graphics any higher than medium settings. The game doesn't...

I really have no familiarity with MSI laptops. What I have noticed is that you can get a T70 dominator pro package for around $2300 and a similarly setup Dell laptop runs around $3300. That's quite a bit of difference for what looks like pretty much the exact same components. The only knock I...

Hi, this may be a bit of a repeat of the thread a little bit below but I thought I'd ask it individually. My four-year-old HP envy 14 laptop as kind a got to the end of its life. Overall it's been a bit of a disappointment, the built-in camera broke after maybe 20 uses, it was prone to...

2014 - The year of 4k? 28" 4k $699+. 1440p 120Hz too!

Oh, okay. So the monitor would just perform as well as it specs are intended to, it's just you wouldn't get the claimed benefits of g-sync. But a high-end radeon card would still perform very well with it. Thanks

I have a really dumb question. If you have a radeon card what does it mean in terms of using a monitor that is tagged As g-sync?

The difference between H and HE is H comes w/ 3D Vision 2 Lightboost Glasses. I have a Radeon card, not a big nVidia fan, so that a moot point and not needed. Plus that $590 vs $440... Yah, I realize the 144hz will need to go 120hz for light boost..... but I think the youtube boobie review...

Gaming (& general use) monitor recommendation

Thank you for the replies everyone. You give me some good information. Guess it's time to go make a decision. I think I will probably lean away from IPS just given the issues with motion. Seems like the other way is a better way for gaming currently. Thanks again everyone

Gaming (& general use) monitor recommendation

So if I'm correct and what I'm hearing here, within IPS monitor you get better quality color and sharpness but with 120 or 144 MHz monitor you get better refresh rates and that's better performance With games that have a lot of movement and frames per second, is that correct? So I guess if...
