    Anyone have any hands on with the HP Spectre x2 - 12-c052nr?

    I was originally looking at a Surface Pro i7, but this option is cheaper.

    Mainly just curious if they perform the same.

    Bloatware?

    Thanks, they are offering an extra 5% off for gov workers so it plays out to 1168 plus tax.

    it doesn't perform the same. In reviews I've seen its About 35% less (graphics performance) than equivalent Surface despite the same iris 640

    Check this video that compares the New surface to the Pro4 (not really comparison you were asking for, but the principle is the same) Basically the New Surface Pro can maintain more than 15W TDP (about 25W properly cooled) The HP runs hotter and can't

    Thank you.

    The final price is 1168.00 shipped.

    Have to decide if the lower price is worth the compromise.
