  • Full HD display, Responsive touchenabled screen, Sturdy metal design
  • Expensive, Screen is a little dim
  • The HP Spectre XT Touchsmart boasts a slim, metal body, a decent serving of power and a Full HD touch-enabled screen for swiping around Windows 8. It's let down by its high price, but you still get quite a bit for the money....

  • 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, 1080p 10-point touchscr
  • 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
  • HP has crafted a beautiful laptop, with a gorgeous, responsive 1080p touchscreen that's let down by its trackpad, battery life and enormous price. If you're not looking to do any major gaming, or you won't be too far away from a power outlet, then HP's...

  • In terms of thickness and weight, this is unquestionably an Ultrabook. But once you open up the Spectre XT TouchSmart and switch it on, it feels like you're working with a larger, beefier notebook that suffers few of the obvious Ultrabook compromises. Co...

  • Looks nice, works really well. Lovely screen, great keyboard
  • The design is a flawed and wobbly in places. The touchscreen is a total waste of money
  • If it were £300 less we’d happily pay for it. As it is, there’s not enough in the way of value here...

  • The Spectre XT TouchSmart by HP is a mighty expensive notebook if you ask us (and many other reviewers). It offers notable pros, but they can't erase the fact that this device puts on an uninspired show in the battery and GPU department. But if you don't...

  • Le SpectreXT TouchSmart 15-4000ef de HP est un ultrabook imposant mais bien fini. On apprécie tous les logiciels installés en version complète à la livraison et la qualité de l'écran tactile. Son prix nous paraît globalement justifié si ce n'est que l'app...
