Well after numerous attempts to get support from
@HPSupport, I am throwing in the towel on my
@HP Spectre x360. This machine, despite being the price of a mid-to-high end gaming laptop, is a poorly-designed lemon with numerous critical design flaws, which I will summarize here:

@NVIDIAGeForce @CyberpunkGame I remember pre-ordering and playing it day one with the lowest capable graphics card I could find because RTX3070s were unobtanium at the time. Six months later a friend of mine managed to snag me an RTX3070. It was glorious. I need to play through again...

If anyone needs a battery, fans, screen or other parts for their failing machine, DM me. I'm parting mine out like everyone else on eBay.

Looking at the specs and build quality, it's what I should have done 5 years ago. So - I will never buy another @HP. The numerous problems with their Spectre x360 line were all swept under the carpet and customers were left out in the cold. Buyer beware!

[Mark Melvin 🇨🇦 @mark_melvin]

@HP I've sent multiple DMs over the past week and received one reply in return. Are you willing to stand behind your brand or not?

[Mark Melvin 🇨🇦 @mark_melvin]

Well, after numerous issues with the battery and charging behaviour my @HPCanada Spectre x360 completely died on the weekend. It was less than 5 years old. I will never buy another @HP laptop. I got the Spectre for my wife for home because I had one for work and it...

[Mark Melvin 🇨🇦 @mark_melvin]

@HP I will send you a DM.

on this thing. I'll be looking at a different brand to replace this lemon.

[Mark Melvin 🇨🇦 @mark_melvin]

And now just a few weeks after the second replacement battery, it seems the entire power circuitry has failed. The laptop will not power on at all - not even when plugged into the wall. Dead as a doornail. My wife and I are not impressed considering the money we spent

@PeteButtigieg @fxshea62 I like how Pete thinks that these guys won't top this next week, if not sooner.
