I don't know about those other machines from HP, but the Spectre with i7 standard high-end issue in my office (Big4) is only trouble. Those are nice if you develop a spreadsheet with some VBA now and then, but once you actually need the power if you're developing enterprise applications you can forget it. Under any serious load they overheat and clock the processor down from 3Ghz+ to 2Ghz.
