Sturdy metal design
As soon as you get the machine out of the box
You'll realise that it's a well constructed piece of kit
The all-metal thin chassis and brushed-silver finish scream quality
And it's all topped off with a solid backlit keyboard and plenty of ports along the side
Including a Thunderbolt port for super fast data transfer.The main attraction on the TouchSmart is the 15-inch

The editors didn't like
The design is a flawed and wobbly in places. The touchscreen is a total waste of money
Expensive
Screen is a little dim
One major gripe we had with the laptop was the trackpad. We had issues with scrolling and tracking
Not to mention the feel of the click itself
It just feels clanky and hollow and not at all as solid as the rest of the laptop.Even with the Beats logo adorning the right hand side of the speaker grill
It's still not a qualifier of sound quality. The speakers on the TouchSmart sounded tinny when c
My esteemed colleague Brian Klug tweeted recently that PC manufacturers can't seem to produce anything that doesn't have some horrible flaw. Everything could be perfect except for one thing that was cheaped out on, and it threatens to bring the whole thin...
Aside from the HP Spectre XT TouchSmart’s battery life, the overall experience was rather pleasant and comfortable. Not only did the notebook perform well, but it did so looking really nice — both in terms of the exterior casing and the quality of the...

Abstract: The Spectre XT is a 15” touchscreen Ultrabook that could give a certain fruit themed company a run for it's design dollar. Design aside though, Is HP's latest enough to compete with the current premium laptop options out there?Main advantages:Main concern...
In terms of what an ultrabook can deliver, you can't go wrong with the HP Spectre XT TouchSmart. Its display still impresses me even after using it for several hours and its Intel Core i7 CPU made multitasking a complete breeze. There are only two things...
Aggressive price for a Core i7 ultrabook, Gorgeous and spacious IPS 1080p touch screen, 32GB mSATA caching drive, Thunderbolt port
A little heavy for an ultrabook, Lagging battery runtime, Conventional clamshell rather than hybrid design
HP delivers a 15-inch, high-resolution, touch-screen ultrabook—well, if you allow 5 pounds to qualify as an ultrabook—with Core i7 power at a reasonable price. There's even a Thunderbolt port. What's not to like? ...

Slim, sharp design, a high-quality keyboard, touch pad, and speakers, and a Thunderbolt port all help the Spectre XT stand out from the Windows 8 crowd
For well over $1,000, one might expect discrete graphics or better battery life
The HP Spectre TouchSmart XT is a rare superslim 15-inch laptop with a touch screen, but for the premium price, it should include more high-end extras.

One of the first Windows PCs with Thunderbolt. Has more storage space than SSD-only units. Full size HDMI and Ethernet. Good multimedia benchmark scores. Comes with Adobe Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements. Two years of Norton Internet Security.
USB 3.0 ports are black. Middling battery life
If you share your household with Mac users, the HP Spectre XT TouchSmart 15-4010nr is a good buy if you absolutely need Windows 8 and need to trade files. It's a decent large-screen performance ultrabook made better with the addition of a Thunderbolt por...
