    I've read a few reviews that say that the Spectre reduces CPU speed as it heats up. How serious is this issue?

    I only heard of just one website that made this claim and although it may maybe right most say:
    HP worked closely with Microsoft and other key partners like Intel (the supplier of the laptop’s processor) throughout the development process to optimize different aspects of the Spectre x360 for better performance and longer battery life. That collaboration looks to have paid off.

    The Spectre x360 is well-built and fast, and it has good battery life. And with a starting price of $900, it’s cheaper than the comparable Lenovo Yoga 13 Pro ($1,250 and up). It’s one of the best hybrid PCs I’ve tested, and it’s suitable for everyday tasks at work and home.

    throttling it prevalent with most most slim and lights but I didn't,t seem to feel it it with this laptop... it seem super responsive all the time
