Join Our HP AMA, Spectre Giveaway October 5th

Thanks to its slim bezels and strong performance and battery life, the Spectre series is one of the most popular laptop product lines and includes some of the best laptops featured on our sister site Laptop Mag. It's not a surprise that there's a lot of interest around HP Spectre Laptops -- and also a lot of questions.

Tom’s Guide is excited to announce a Spectre Laptop AMA and Giveaway with HP.

Brandon McGovern, Senior Manager of Portfolio Strategy and Curation, as well as other members of the HP Product Team, will be joining us for the next Tom’s Guide AMA. He'll be answering your in-depth questions about all of HP's current Spectre lineup, including our new favorite hybrid, the HP Spectre x360.

The AMA starts today Thursday, October 5th. Please submit all questions to our Q&A thread. All questions will be moderated and supervised by the Tom’s Guide Community Staff, and a full team of Tom's Guide Senior Moderators.

    I hope I win this awesome HP laptop. I read about the 8th Gen Intel CPUs. They are talking about more energy efficiency. Can you give me an estimated battery life for a HP Spectre x360 with 8th Gen CPUs?
