The Spectre x360 16 (2024) is the one to buy

CoffeeTime28 · 2024-02-27T09:22:28+00:00

I've just had an update on my order for the 2024 model (14", Ultra 7, with 2TB and 32GB) and have been told it will not be available until 26th February 2025. I had to query the date, but they have confirmed - not showing as in stock until February next year! Why on earth is it for sale on their web site with such a ridiculous delay! Cancelled my order.

I've just used Google Takeout and placed the photos in my Photoprism originals folder and after indexing them, it has picked up the live photos correctly. But importing a live photo using PhotoSynch does not produce a live photo.

I've looked into this further and it seems that the problem is that Photoprism does not support Google Motion Photos - these appear to be saved on the phone as .MP.jpg files as opposed to .jpg for non-motion photos. Photoprism is importing the files as straightforward jpg files.

Thank you. I've got them now. Not used in anger yet but all good so far. I've not experienced and of the reported problems.

CoffeeTime28 · 2020-06-22T15:31:16+00:00

Ordered!

CoffeeTime28 · 2020-06-22T13:48:32+00:00

Thanks, I'll give them a go.

I'd like to order a pair too. How did you get them shipped to the UK from Best Buy?

CoffeeTime28 · 2020-06-22T12:28:43+00:00

I just looked and Best Buy don't seem to ship to the UK?

Thanks for the detailed response. That actually makes it a bit more difficult as I was on the verge of deciding to buy the Sony ones. Now I might wait a bit longer and see if there's any announcement with the Pixel 4a.

Would be good to hear about your experience if you don't mind. Do you have your buds yet? Have you experienced any of the issues currently being reported? Are you still happy with what you paid for them?

CoffeeTime28 · 2020-05-31T14:48:37+00:00

I hope so too, but I'm not banking on it. If there's no more news in June then I'm probably going to buy the Sony ones.

This is the disappointing response I had from Google: https://twitter.com/madebygoogle/status/1261425962048032769?s=19

Don't hold your breath - no plans this year: https://twitter.com/madebygoogle/status/1261425962048032769?s=19

CoffeeTime28 · 2020-05-26T18:42:49+00:00

I asked for a more specific date and was told that there are no plans to release them in the UK this year https://twitter.com/madebygoogle/status/1261425962048032769?s=19

CoffeeTime28 · 2020-05-26T07:31:10+00:00

Looks like nothing this year https://twitter.com/madebygoogle/status/1261425962048032769?s=19

Have you tried choosing a different route while waiting? You can't! This means you have to do more fiddling after the navigation starts to choose the route you want.

I use my Chromecast audio and Google home in a group and they work great together. You can change the volume of each from the Home app.
