Wow! I am an early adopter of technology and an engineer - go figure. My wife accidentally damaged (beyond repair) my favorite super powerful laptop FX7811. Suddenly I am trying to evaluate new laptops. The Ultrabooks are the latest thing and the bleeding edge of technology is the 10 point touch screen combined with FHD - full high def. Most laptops offer a limited slate of the right technology, at high prices, others are cheap and easily convince you of the same. I studied them all for two months solid and settled on the top of the line (but not yet released) ASUS ux500vz touch for an as yet (still) unnamed price - probably upwards of $2500. After becoming weary of waiting on ASUS delays with manufacturing setbacks and their general lack of information regarding releases and availability schedules, sketchy or incomplete spec information, and no pricing, I was left uncertain as to whether or when and at what cost my dream ultrabook might be on the market.Feeling like it was time to make a move and interested in optimizing the price away from the top of the line ASUS (it was also too big for what I wanted - my last was a great 1900x1200 dpi 17 inch screen with a dedicated graphics card. It weighed 10+ pounds and was worth it! BUT I was ready for a slice of new technology via a cool, thin, lightweight ulrabook. Enter the HP Spectre XT. Researched it and knew immediately it was the right combination of technology for me. Long story short, saw this version (not available for custom build on HP site or in any stores or on line at least as far as I was able to find), and knew instantly the price point was significant for what you got. I personally tried the ACER super ultrabook the S7 and found it very impressive but not very ergonomically friendly - too thin to be comfortable, and with sharp edges (which are needed for structural ridgidity in an ULTRA thin laptop), but not friendly to the touch. Unfortunately, it also had some software problems and a warped case. The HP blew it away. 12 GB of RAM! What? The rest of the also rans have 4. The premiums have 6 and a couple have 8. None with 12, except HP. And try to get a FHD screen, not 1320x768 (crap - avoid at all cost), not first level high definition 720p (1600x900), but a FULL HIGH DEF 1080p TOUCH SCREEN (1920x1080), which is very hard to find, at any price. Get it - You will thank me later. I also purchased and used for a month an ACER M5, which is a great size and quality ultrabook, with a built in DVD drive built in! Uncommon in an ultrabook. (BUT it has a crap screen quality so it will have to go back - otherwise much better ergonomically than the super slick S7 big brother - which has a great screen too BTW (but suffered otherwise from ills above).So at the end of the day, the stealthy and unsuspecting HEWLETT PACKARD EASILY WINS in this configuration with its sexy looks, silky operation, nice software bundle (photoshop and premier elements, etc.!), and upgrades by an authorized HP modifier and reseller. Way above what I would expect from HP but they did it. Keep your money on shore and be not afraid of this Ultra gorgeous Ultra powerful laptop! I ordered it sight unseen, based on its specs and price point - BOY WAS I NOT DISAPPOINTED!! FIVE STARS!! THANKS!!!I will ring in again later after I have had more time with this beauty for a follow up review. Meanwhile get yours on Amazon from these guys!UPDATE 2-12-13 - Well after a month of heavy use, I can affirm all my initial feelings were correct. This is the finest laptop I have ever owned or seen. I have no complaints. Still getting used to Windows 8, but then Microsoft's monopoly is not a democracy so might as well get used to it. Overall W8 is a very good product. Looking forward to growing with it. Touch screen is something we should have had long ago. Cant imagine a non touch laptop using windows 8. What a technology steal from Apple (who refuses to make a touch screen laptop or desktop because they don't think they are useful or ergonomic). I find myself switching from keyboard and mouse to touch screen in a fluid and almost natural way. Thanks to Microsoft for developing the Ultrabook concept. It is just what the laptop world needed. for that matter (still haven't seen an actual ASUS 500uv touch but this one is smaller and lighter so who cares?) And thanks to HP for this beauty! Still wowed over this thing. Finally thanks to the reseller ELUKTRONICS!! Not sure about the name, but when your product and service are this good, who cares?!! Spot on! The only thing that could have been better is to have dedicated graphics and twin SSD's - something I talked to them about. Working on it, but internal size considerations make it impossible for now. Besides you would have to pay a battery life premium if they were to find a way to mount a dedicated graphics card. As well, the Intel HD 4000 really does a bang up job and very nicely fits with the ultrabook concept of maximum power per pound and watt!!

I chose this laptop due to the mSata SSD and secondary hard drive over a pure SSD solution. Eventually, I intend to replace the hard drive with an SSD for performance and battery consumption.The touch screen wasn't a primary part of the decision process, but it works very well. The visual quality from the display is incredible.Speakers aren't bad, but I still prefer headphones or an external speaker system. There's only so much you can do with the size requirements.All of the performance attributes met my expectations. I didn't intend to play any modern games on it, so the lower graphics scores haven't been a factor. I've played some older standby games and they seem to run without any issues.WEI:Processor 7.1Memory: 7.7Graphics: 5.6Gaming graphics: 6.4Primary hard disk: 7.8

I have been using this laptop for a couple weeks now, and it continues to impress me. Windows 8 takes a bit of getting used to (and my jury is still out on how much better it is than Windows 7, which I really like). I find that I use the standard Windows desktop a lot more than the Apps. However, my overall experience has been very positive.First of all, this computer is lightning fast with the SSD hard drive, 12 GB of Ram, and i7 processor. It boots up in less than 10 seconds, which is absolutely amazing! It is also an awesome looking machine. A lot of people think it's a Macbook Air at first glance, but I quickly show them it's better. For the money, a Mac would not even come close to the specs of this machine. Also, I find the touch screen to be very useful, as well as something that impresses people.My old desktop was over 5 years old and very slow. When I first started looking for an upgrade, I knew I wanted something that would perform much faster (as I was tired of waiting for things to load, programs freezing, etc), but initially I was not looking for something in this price range. However, after research I decided that I would go with Windows 8 because it is advertised as more secure and faster than Windows 7. Since Windows 8 is more or less designed with a touch screen in mind, I figured I would get a touch screen laptop. Finally, after looking on Amazon, I found that this laptop was the most bang for the buck. I do recommend getting the 256 GB SSD vs the 128 GB SDD because if you are storing Apps on the SSD, the Apps tend to take up a lot of space. They can be up to 100 MB each.Anyways, I have NO Regrets on this machine! The more I use it, the more I love it!As a side note: I've had good customer service from the seller Eluktronics Inc. Very pleased with the purchase!
