I'm on my second Spectre X360. The first had multiple issues and after weeks of tech-support horrors, they finally replaced it. After a couple months with the new one, I'm havint a bunch of problems again. Some the same as the old one, one new one.
1) It gets very hot. I can't believe this is normal for such a nice laptop, but this is the second one... As I'm typing this, I have nothing but a couple chrome tabs open. I set my video card preference to use integrated graphics, and I have uninstalled as many background processes as possible. My processor usage is at 4%. I can't understand why it's uncomfortably hot!
2) An issue that this unit has which the old one didn't is that the screen glitches and flickers. It's most often the bottom half and it's fairly rare, but once in a while it just glitches and flashes. It reminds me of watching a movie on a VCR. I haven't been able to capture it on video, but it looks exactly like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UkWPXn9XZkk
3) random windows that are open behind the one I am working in pop in front. I wonder if maybe it's a problem in the touch screen where it's registering a click??
4) two finger scrolling is very unresponsive.
Anyway, this thing is a dud. It seems unlikely that I got two duds in a row, so I think it's just that HPs top of the line, premium laptop is a piece of junk.
I don't know if I have it in me to suffer through hours more of tech support. Hoping maybe someone here has solutions for the heat and glitchy screen. I wish I could just return the laptop. I'm starting a PhD program next week and I'm debating just biting the bullet and buying a new laptop, but I really can't afford it. I wish I could just send it backor trade it for a different model. I don't see the point in trying to exchange it again since this is the second one to have lots of problems.
