HP Spectre Foldable 17 review: a flagship screen and hugely versatile device, but it’s fatally flawed

 

Pretty but not powerful

Stunning overall design ; Crisp and incredible OLED panel ; Works as a tablet, laptop and all-in-one PC

Ridiculous pricing ; Performance is poor ; Added extras are underwhelming

With a foldable OLED panel, and a huge amount of flexibility, at first glance HP’s Spectre Foldable 17 looks to be a brilliant advancement in the world of somewhat stagnant laptops, seemingly blurring the lines between notebook, tablet, and all-in-one...

HP Spectre Foldable Review: Best Foldable, but for How Much?

 

HP engineered an impressive foldable, but it still has some flaws and – oh yeah – it costs $5,000.

Best looking and feeling foldable yet ; Bright OLED display ; Screen can be used with a stylus ; Speakers get impressively loud ; Includes keyboard and stylus

It costs $5,000 ; Webcam unusable in display mode ; Kickstand doesn't allow for portrait mode ; Hit-or-miss palm rejection with stylus

The HP Spectre Foldable is the best foldable yet, but the category is still in its infancy. It has great build quality and a nice display, but this laptop, which costs $5,000, has a webcam that can barely be used in portrait mode and a kickstand that...

The HP Spectre Foldable perfects the formula of the foldable PC — almost

 

The HP Spectre Foldable PC is one of the most innovative laptops around, with a quality build and great attention to detail. But it's incredibly expensive.

Exquisite design Solid build quality Excellent foldable OLED display Great keyboard Plenty of usable formats Above-average battery life

Extremely expensive Tablet mode is overly large Clamshell display resolution is relatively low

“You'll love using the highly innovative HP Spectre Foldable PC – if you can afford it.”

Review: HP Spectre Foldable

 

No, you probably shouldn't spend $5,000 on this folding OLED laptop.

Probably a great way to meet new people at Starbucks. Battery life is excellent. Shockingly portable and, frankly, a lot of fun to use.

Performance is dismal. Awkward port placement. Awkward everything. Ungodly price tag.

HP Spectre Foldable PC Review

 

Innovative 3-in-1 folding OLED design ; Excellent keyboard and pen included ; Bright, vivid OLED display with full audio to match ; Impressive battery life in all screen modes

Super expensive ; Folding displays look funny and get worse with age ; Flimsy hinge doesn't feel stable ; Awkward webcam and port placement ; Short 1-year warranty

The HP Spectre Foldable PC is fun to show off, but it's hard to recommend due to underwhelming performance, potentially fragile hardware, and too many quirks in this proof-of-concept 3-in-1.

HP Spectre Foldable PC Review: It's Slick but Quirky

 

And it costs.

Excellent screen ; Thoughtful design ; Slick as a complete package

Expensive ; Slow ; No audio jack or keyboard backlight ; ports are in odd places in laptop mode
