Battery life wins over processing power

When compared to the lenovo 720, I found that this computer had about a 25% longer battery life. The processor in the computer and in the graphics chip were both very fast compared to other computers in the price range, but the Lenovo was faster. The speakers on the Spectre face the user as opposed to reflecting off the desk in the case of the lenovo. This means that the Spectre has more predictable audio results which are decent but not as good as the Lenovo on a desk, but the Spectre has better audio when compared to the Lenovo on bed or something else that might muffle the sound. For my purposes, I prefer the Lenovo 720, but it was a tough decision and I found that I being influenced bythe Spectre's more attractive case. Both computers would make most people very happy.

Power wins out over battery life

This is a great computer. For the past few weeks I've been using it for photoshop, but I also tested it with Avid video editing with 4k video and Davinci Resolve for video color correction. The processors are noticeably faster than the HP Spectre x360 - which is a similar price and a good computer in its own right. Using it as a drawing tablet with Photoshop, I can say that this and all other 2 in one laptops probably have a similar problem - as a tablet, it's missing the quick access keys that you would expect from a wacom tablet, so there is a bit more fussing to open unfold the computer to get to the keyboard to do some commands. And if you have the keyboard open, then, the keyboard gets in the way of your drawing. So it's not ideal, but having a wacom tablet with all the wires and plugs and other stuff is not ideal either. So I'm going to keep both. The power button on this particular laptop is located on the side and isn't recessed, so if you are the kind of person you likes to change their grip often and in odd ways in order to get into your drawing, you will probably hit it and accidentally put your computer to sleep. It only takes two seconds to wake up, butit's still a nussance, but fortantely Windows 10 allows you to turn off that button, so it only works to turn the computer on and then you hit the windows icon>shut down to turn it off. This makes life really convenient. But the quick compariison for this computer versus the spectre is the audio sounds better on this computer, the processing power is much greater on this one, but the battery life is much longer on the spectre. (and the spectre is prettier)

Not as good as I remember

Verified Purchase:Yes
I saw this as a kid and loved it back then. But like many things that fall into that category, I wasn't as big a fan of it watching it as an adult. There were a number of good site gags and the characters were a bit likeable, but they had no depth. This is a trend in much of Tim Burton's work - especially his earlier stuff.

Dark and trippy

This is one of my favorite Stanley Kubrick films. It's rather dark, so it's not for everyone, but if you like dystopian futures and strories about bad guys, you will like this.

Great series

Verified Purchase:Yes
A lot of series start off great and then slowly collapse after the first or second season. This was great from beginning to end. Unlike other series, this show actually increased its humanity over the years and had some truly funny and touching episodes throughout the run. Other series that went from beginning to the end with heart and quality include Malcolm in the Middle, Pushing Daisies, and King of the Hill.

Great film
on June 15, 2017
Posted by: spencer

Verified Purchase:Yes
This is a really great story with great animation. Most of it is practical animation instead of digital animation which is really awesome. The design of the characters made mating them and a couple digital things here and there seamless, which.... on the one hand made it a very unified film, but on the other hand, I think that if you are going to go to all the effort they went to make the film hand made, that it should have looked a little more hand made. I mean, it all looked awesome, but I wish it had a little more human flaw to the imagery. Personal choice. But as I said, the story was awesome, so... great film.

It works great in my phone

I'm using this to store my entire music collection ( a few thousand cds). The speed requirements for music vs HD video are night and day, so I didn't push the chip to its extremes in any way whatsoever, but so far, it's doing great for my uses.

Fun for kids and adults

Verified Purchase:Yes
The idea of kids cracking light into the hearts of evil guys has been used again and again in movies, plays, books.... but this is one of my favorite versions of that. It focusses more on the evil guy, so it's not all cutesey, but hooks you in for laughs and warmth.

It has a number of good gags, but it isn't as good as I remember it when it first came out. The characters lack depth and the film kind of drags a bit at times. But it's still a decent film.

Take your files wherever you go with this Toshiba Canvio Connect II HDTC810XK3A1 external hard drive, which features 1TB of space and a data transfer rate of up to 5 Gbps. The NTI Backup Now EZ software lets you customize your backup options.
Scratch disk
Will this hard drive work as a scratch disk when editing video or photos? Is the usb 3.0 fast enough to want to use it as a scratch disk?
I just used it edit a documentary at 720P, 30fps on AVID. I believe the compression was DNXHD75. I also used the same video with After Effects. I had no issues.
USB 3 is fast enough as a sending format for regular HD video. The limiting factor would be the drive. Usually, you want a drive with 7200RPMS. If you don't, then you may sometimes run into issues where the video stalls. But in this case, I edited for a week and had no issues.
