Full HD or QHD on HP Spectre x360?

[tangch00]

Hi everyone, I am about to place an order of the HP Spectre x360 (Core i5-6200U, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD). However I'm still really torn apart between the FHD and QHD. I have been looking around for information about the comparison between Full HD or QHD on the Spectre x360, but there isn't much information available. Unfortunately it is also not possible for me to have a side-by-side comparison between these two.

1. Is the FHD much brighter than the QHD? I read that the QHD brightness is way too low because HP goes for a lower quality screen for the QHD model.
2. Is there a big difference in terms of battery life between FHD and QHD, with other things being equal?

If you have any experience or opinion in these, please chime in. Thanks a lot!

I can't anything about the quality of the two different screens, but the QHD screen will use more power than a FHD screen because the QHD screen has more pixels that requires power.

I read a review about the Dell XPS 13 which stated that the FHD version had "typical battery life" of 11 hours while the QHD version had "typical battery life" of about 9.5 hours. So based on whatever battery test they ran the QHD version of the Dell XPS 13 reduced battery life by a bit over 14%.

Thanks for the useful information!

Yes the battery life will be much better and I would recommend this due to its size. Most applications can't take advantage of the QHD. Plus there is not much QHD content out there.

I don't even need to tell you which one is QHD which one is FHD
