So it just seems to eventually turn itself off and therefore is constantly being rebooted (though it is doing better as...

This would be a great laptop if it was dependable. At 13mos the SSD HD went out. Hp was kind enough to send me a usb drive to reload the O.S but it still cost me 100.00 for the HD. Next up at appx 18 mos the laptop just would no longer turn on.

very lightweight and portable; attractive Spectre-inspired 2-in-1 design, relatively strong base and lid considering the size; MIL-STD certification, long list of unique above-OS and under-OS security features, extremely bright display backlight; good outdoor visibility, respectable surface...

Sure View interferes with contrast and colors; not as effective for browsing or graphic-editing work, no dedicated mouse keys or TrackPoint nub; WACOM pen not included in base packaging, narrower viewing angles for optimum brightness due to presence of Sure View panel, no integrated RJ-45, VGA,...
