After waiting almost a year after the release of the Spectre 13, it finally got to a price point where I felt comfortable buying it. What can I expect with this thing? Anyone here have one?

If you're wondering why I would buy it, the design initially got me. This thing looks like an art piece. It's also got an i7-7500U in it, and 8gb RAM in a laptop that's literally thinner than a Pilot G2 pen. I know this thing is Apple-tier to you guys, but I think HP's got something nice here.

Been playing around with this for a while. Installed spotify on it and have it connected to a speaker in my dorm. Pretty cool.

>omg ryzen may perform worse in gayms but is has way better fps per $ than intelshit!!!!!

Guys, anywhere besides fucking america, amd is just as expensive as intel, please stop bragging about them great prices without looking at non burger cunts.

Ryzen is a fucking disappointement.

>Public knowledge by now but AMD has a new HEDT platform coming out in a couple of months. You’ll see more of it at Computex I believe. It’s a 16 core /32 Thread, quad channel behemoth. And it is insanely quick in the tests that Ryzen is already excelling at. So Cinebench, and all other related productivity programs. The gaming issues that were causing the Ryzen AM4 CPUs to behave erratically to say the least have been ironed out. It’s akin to a newer revision on a newer platform. This should be competing with the Xeon and of course 6950X Intel offers for $1700~$1800USD, but at about $1,000 USD if not less for some Skews. Coming soon.
CPSs are pretty big physically, about twice the size of surrent 6950X CPUs and a bit more perhaps. And if you were hoping for pins, nope it’s strictly LGA! It’s NOT 8 channel, but Quad.

>Will be a splendid competition between X299 and this AMD platform. Skylake-X is pretty good, not revolutionary but a meaningful step up in IPC and the clocks are pretty high as well. If Intel will have a 32 core part to compete on X299 remains to be seen, but the HEDT platform is going to change quite a bit in the next 4 to 6 months.?
