Broadwell i. 7, QHD, 8. GB RAM, 5. 12. GB SSD, here in the US, for $1. I was having Wi. Fi issues staying connected and so I kept returning/exchanging the unit. It turns out that my model, that came pre- installed with Windows 1.
HP quietly fixed the problem by updating it to an older driver. Then when the Skylake/6th gen Spectre came out 2 weeks ago, I was able to exchange my Broadwell model for the same configuration above, but with Skylake and the beautiful (really beautiful in- person, though $7.

The Spectre in Ash Silver and Copper is truly the most beautiful looking laptop I have ever seen. You must see it in- person to understand how amazing it looks. Pictures online do not do it justice. The color actually changes, depending on what lighting you’re in.
It goes from a champagne- like color to a metallic- looking dark brown. And then the copper hinges and the areas around the sides just truly set it off and makes anything else sitting next to it look boring. I went into Star. Bucks with it last week and I had a total of about 6 people (men and women) ask me what it was and say: Wow, that is really nice! The clip below shows how the Ash Silver model looks like in real life. So why get rid of the Spectre?

But the palm rest getting hot bugs me. And this is the third HP that has given me too hot palm- rest problems. The Spectre is also just a bit too heavy for tablet mode to feel right/good. Tablet mode for the Yoga 9.
That little bit of weight difference matters a lot in tablet mode and this is coming from a 6’1 tall athletic guy. Then, with the Spectre I have to turn the brightness down to zero (yes, zero) to get about 4. On the Yoga, I am getting 1 hour for every 1. On both units I’m using a Bluetooth mouse, have Wi. Fi on and Chrome open with 5 to 6 tabs. I have not ran the Yoga all the way down yet, as I did with the Spectre, so I don’t know if it does the same thing or perhaps it’s a Windows 1.
Spectre, I could only get down to 7% battery and then the system goes into hibernation. I tried several times to change the settings in power management, but when I select anything below 7%, it automatically goes back to 7% upon exit. The HP Spectre in Ash Silver. The Spectre is so nice looking that I’m always concerned with scratching up the paint. The keys are painted and I have read about at least one case where a user stated that his keys began to wear after 3 months of heavy typing. Also having been through over half a dozen Spectres now, I can confidently state that HP has a quality control issue. I’m referring to my past Broadwell models, but two of the units I had had sleeping pixels.
Four of them had a loose panel on the bottom, in the rear. Three of them had minor scratch marks on the body. Two of them had bubbles in the Chromed hinges. With the Yoga 9. 00, my first unit has been my only unit, because it is flawless. No defects and all of the software and drivers work right out of the box.

As far as I can tell, the colors and everything else pretty much look the same on both devices. I have read about prior Lenovo Yoga screens having problems with some colors such as yellow. I have not noticed any such problems. Keyboard. As far as the keyboard on the Yoga, I personally liked the Spectre keyboard better, but then again I used it daily for 2 months and am now trying to get used to the Yoga.

Also I can see the Yoga keys very well in any kind of lighting.
