    Been checking out the upcoming 2020 HP Spectre X360 15 via various websites while waiting for it to appear in the HP Store. There is now 1 model listed starting at $1499. I'm looking forward to seeing the new form factors smaller footprint and slightly lighter weight. There is an option for the regular 340 nit Ips screen, and for $50 more that option becomes 400 nits. The remaining panel option is for the Oled version, also at 400 nits. Not too pleased about the additional $50 for 400 nits option, as that ought to be part of the base panel offering.
    Anyone else looking at the 2020 X360 15 as an upgrade?

    I ordered an OLED 15" one when perksatwork.com had 20% wowpoints on HP. I got the 256GB SSD and plan on installing a spare 512GB Samsung 970 pro in it. I hope this won't lead to thermal issues. Lead time is long, won't be assembled until later this month.

    Edit: got the laptop. Very fine machine indeed! 970 pro is in it. No issues other than BIOS does not allow me to disable Intel RST VMD, therefore cannot use Samsung NVME drivers.
