>Anybody bought HP Spectre recently? The model in question is in the title. My younger daughter goes to school this summer and is looking for a new laptop. She is comparing Lenovo, Dell, and HP (this specific model). I know that Lenovo and Dell have a good reputation. But HP, I am not so sure. And Lenovo and Dell would cost (for the same memory - both SSD and RAM - size) about $500 more. She will not be doing IT study, just the school stuff. But she likes to have the latest and the greatest (my genes :)). I am concerned of how well (sturdy or robust or whatever the term to use) is HP notebook. And the only way to find out is from someone who has bought it.

Back in spring 2015 I bought the HP Spectre. It is a great laptop. Brilliant display, performed well. Even those who slam HP have acknowledged the Spectre is a great product.

The mouse can take a little getting used to - IMHO.

I wound up getting a Lenovo a year later, because the Lenovo had 16 GB of memory. The Spectre I bought only had 8. (Though I see that the Spectre also now comes with 16 GB)

Both the Lenovo and the Spectre are outstanding products. If you live near a Microsoft store, you might be able to see demo models of both (and maybe even at Best Buy as well). As someone who owned a Spectre for about a year (and would have kept it longer had it contained 16 GB of memory), I highly recommend it.
