Top products from r/spectrex360

1. Pricing at the moment is consistent to what was released in press kits back in January, thought they could change on release, but the 512 Gb Vega model is slated to be at $1,699. You can see the prices here.
   
   
2. While I'm not too concerned about the 8 gb of RAM since you're not using too heavy of an application, 256 Gb to 512 Gb of storage will make a world of a difference. Fortnite and Lol together can take up to 40Gb of space. Also, both mx150 models come with a pen already. According to Lisa from MobileTechReviews here, the HP pen does come with tilt support. But of course that can change of course if HP decides to cheap out.
   
   
3. You have a variety of options here:
   

• The free option is to use the pass throughs, unless you're a hyper competitive CSGO player, I doubt you'll notice the difference.
  
• You can get a USB Hub, these cost like $10 on Amazon here.
  
• Or if you're Mr. Moneybags, you can get an $26 Dell TB15 Thunderbolt dock here. But you'll need to also get a 130W or more Dell power adapter if you don't have one laying around. (my company has a few that I have burrowed thankfully). This is awesome, you can connect monitors, headphones, USBs, ethernet ports on this dock. Very very useful.
  
  And finally, you seem pretty well suited for the MX150, it's still a decent discrete GPU that will handle both Fortnite and LoL with ease (at 1080p resolution).

That's how I bought my Spectre, as a refurb for about 1k (~500 off) and it was the best choice I could've made, amazing laptop handles everything I throw at it between cad and Adobe stuff and it came with no blemishes and no visible issues. the refurb was perfect. I'd say go for it

I'd recommend this charger, works past the DRM and allows multiple plugs

I got this one and it works well. It even gets hot like the original one hahaha

I would recommend this Anker AC Powerbank for $109. Not perfect, but it is the best I have seen.

I don't mean to be obvious, but if the laptop comes with a 65W charger then that it what it needs to charge at full speed. 30W is NOT enough. There are several chargers with 60 or 65W power delivery that come with a USB a charging port as well on Amazon. This one took me 2 minutes to find: https://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-Charger-Delivery-Smartphones/dp/B01MS9CTB7/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1525366852&sr=8-6&keywords=usb+c+charger+65w. I have no idea if it is any good.

This works great.

It should, but I haven't gotten another charger yet to test it. There's a charging dock on Amazon I'm thinking of getting so I can charge the laptop and my phone.

Just make sure you look at how many watts the charger is putting out. If you're getting a little guy meant for phones it'll take forever to charge, if it manages to charge at all. This is what I'm considering, but I'm waiting until Black Friday. https://www.amazon.com/Certified-Charger-Nekteck-Delivery-Station/dp/B0712252ZQ/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1542039254&sr=8-7&keywords=usb+c+charger+macbook

Happened to me too, just buy replace rubber feet:

These worked so nicely for me and continue to be amazing

I bought the following: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MS9CTB7/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

It works great, rapid charges my phone and charges my computer quickly (but not as fast as the original charger).

Contains three extra USB2.0 ports so you just need to carry one other cable to charge other devices.

If you travel or commute with your shiny new laptop, how about a second power supply like this one. Also there are a million port replicators, HDMI dongles, etc. so I ended up buying this one, which has just what I need. And you can't go wrong picking up one or two of these.

I got this

[2PCS Pack] Anti-Glare Matte Finish Whole Screen Protector Film for HP Spectre x360 2-in-1 13.3" 13-AE 13-AC 13-W Series(Release 2017) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B071KZN18G/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_YpaKDb94M82MN

I have the gem cut though so I had to trim the corners a bit. But it works great.

Sure! https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B019FRCV9G/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I've used this one on mine for the past year or so and it's still holding up well if anyone is looking for a cheaper alternative and has a more modern surface pen that doesn't have a clip on it. This one holds it really tightly and hasn't let go at yet!

I use one of these on my 8th gen 13"

Buy a anti-glare, matte screen protector if you find that there's too much glare. It doesn't affect touch performance, only the feel of the screen. Here's the one I bought.

I will soon be repasting with thermal grizzly kryonaut and attempting to use thermal pads. I ordered a 1mm thick pad on Amazon to cut to size.

I'll report back my findings and take pictures.

No, I was actually referring to this one

The integrated GPU can do at least drive 3 displays. The question is what are you going to use for output? Basically, you have 2 USB C and one is used for power so you have one USB C and one USB A.

I think getting a USB C (or thunderbolt) HUB for displays.

Something like it. My old ThinkPad T series had both HDMI and Mini Display Monitor, but I think no laptop is born with 3 Display outputs.

RAVPower 30W PD powerbank doesn't charge my late 2017 Spectre x360 15 via usb-c at all. It only tells that the connected source isnt powerful enough to charge the battery. When connecting the laptop to the usb-a port of the powerbank (via usb-a to usb-c cord), it charges only when turned off (around 2A/5V, I guess). Thus, it can charge the laptop in about 8 hours, when its turned off, but it's very pity, that the powerbank cant charge the laptop when in use.
