This is an excellent laptop. Bought it because I was looking for a two-in-one that was both fast and extremely lightweight. The vividness/overall picture of the display is the best I have ever seen. The size was initially hard to adjust to (my old laptop was a 17'') and I was disappointed that the Spectre was not offered in 15''6' screen, but at a 13'' screen isn't bad at all. The backlit keyboard is nice as well. I had to go through three Spectre laptops before I found that one that worked for me (first one didn't have a big enough hard drive, second one was too expensive, third one was just right) and I will say I have noticed slight differences in each of them. Core i5 veruses i7 really doesn't seem to affect the performance that greatly, so don't feel like you have to splurge just to get i7--there's not that big of a difference. That being said, I'm not a gamer, and I generally don't have a lot of programs running at once, maybe four or five at most and several tabs running on Google Chrome. Also, the keypad can make this annoying noise when you're scrolling--the second Spectre that I purchased (and ended returning) did not make that noise. I wouldn't know how to describe it because it almost sounds like the plating isn't tight enough somehow, and when you scroll, there is a sound that is produced due to that space between the mousepad and the hardware beneath it, if that makes sense. Also, and I've seen other reviewers complain about this too -- the Spectre is not great when it comes to staying connected to the internet (unless you are within viewing distance of your router) which can be incredibly annoying at time. None of the previous three laptops I've had over the past ten years have had that issue. The connection goes in and out, and sometimes it won't automatically connect, even if you check the box that specially asks if you want the laptop to automatically connect to the nearest network. That all aside, I do love this laptop. It's versatility is a huge bonus (I love the tablet feature and playing movies in tent mode is great) and the hinges are the best on a two-in-one that I've seen. The hinge design makes you feel like you could bend it this way and that and they won't ever give out or become loose. If you're on the fence about this laptop, I would definitely encourage you to purchase it.
