I've always wanted to get a 2-in-1 laptop like this and have always liked the design of the Spectre 360. Right now my Surface is handling those needs but I would definitely get one of these when my Surface is no longer useful.

I'm glad this review devoted some time to talk about the stylus. 👍 Looks like a solid machine that uses space well.

"The 13.5-inch touchscreen on the Spectre x360 has a 3:2 aspect ratio, making it taller than it is wide. "

Based on the photos, it sure looks like the display is wider than it is tall. Does anyone proofread these articles?

Yeah, you're right, that should definitely be wider than it is tall. That fact isn't actually distinctive or noteworthy for 3:2 displays – all computer displays are wider than they are tall – so Andrew Freedman should probably just cut that clause. He probably meant to say something to the effect of it being a taller ratio than the more common 16:9, or even Apple's and Dell's 16:10 displays, so he should just rewrite that bit to say what he means. A 3:2 display is 1.5 times wider than its height, whereas a 16:9 display is 1.78 times wider than its height.

Hi Andrew Freedman – There's a typo here: "On the right, there is one USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A port."

That port is on the left, not the right. You inventoried the ports on the right side in the preceding sentence, and you accidentally referred to the right again in this sentence.

Also, there's a typo mentioned above where you said the screen is taller than it is wide. It's the opposite – all computer screens are wider than they are tall, including 3:2 screens.

No OLED burn-in mentioned in the whole review ... I am really worried about windows taskbar and fixed windows icons on the screen . one of my Samsung phones got Burn in after two years of use .

I just stopped by because of the new comment, and notice that Tom's Hardware hasn't fixed the errors in the article. Is this normal? It's been over a week since the initial report on the screen ratio, and almost a week since I reported the erroneous port description, and they haven't fixed them? Isn't Tom's kind of a major publisher in this space? They have tons of revenue, their own fancy HQ building and so forth. It's strange that they would publish and not fix errors.
