====== HP Spectre x360 13t-aw200 ======

I'm probably the first person to use [[/TigerLake|TigerLake]] with %%FreeBSD%%, and all it's roadblocks. Far from smooth when compared to [[/ThinkPad|ThinkPad]] T420/X220 users. I no longer own this laptop. I initially switched to an AMD Ryzen-based [[Laptops/HP_Envy_x360_13-ay0021nr|HP Envy]], but then switched to a 14" Spectre x360, which despite also being [[/TigerLake|TigerLake]] has MUCH better %%FreeBSD%% support.

Like many [[/TigerLake|TigerLake]] laptops, this Spectre has the Intel "Evo" branding.

  * Year introduced: 2020

===== Hardware =====

  * CPU: Intel %%TigerLake%% Core i7-1165G7
  * Ethernet: None
  * Graphics: Intel Iris Xe (unsupported for now)
  * Memory: 16GB DDR4 (Soldiered)
  * Screen: 13.3" 1920x1080 IPS Touchscreen
  * Storage: Intel 1TB Optane NVMe (forgot which model)
  * Wireless: Intel Wi-Fi 6 AX201 (unsupported)

===== Support overview =====

**WARNING**: The below section is obsolete. [[/TigerLake|TigerLake]] support has improved in %%FreeBSD%%.

More current support information is in [[Laptops/HP_Spectre_x360_14-ea0023dx]], except for the audio part. If you want a [[/TigerLake|TigerLake]] HP Spectre, **GET THE 14"**, not the 13", unless you are fine without audio. If you don't want the 14" Spectre but want [[/TigerLake|TigerLake]], get a non-HP or alternatively an HP Envy or [[/EliteBook|EliteBook]] model.

  * Graphics are unsupported as of now, but I had an "updated" ''%%drm-kmod%%'' here: https://github.com/neelchauhan/drm-kmod/tree/5.7-wip

    * **WARNING:** This repo is highly unstable. It has high levels of graphics corruption, and often panicks. It was rejected and shelved.

  * Wi-Fi is unsupported as of now, but fortunately [[/BjoernZeeb|BjoernZeeb]] is working on it.

    * If you use one, Ralink dongles work the best in this case. I had some issues with Realtek dongles with USB errors. However, USB dongles are unreliable on [[/TigerLake|TigerLake]].

  * Audio is unsupported as of now, maybe outside of the "HDMI" interface (which probably needs USB-C), but this also affected Linux somewhat. If you need to use headphones, a USB-C to 3.5mm adapter (used on newer Android phones) can be used with a bit of tinkering.

  * The laptop does run cool despite the above lack of drivers, when compared to the [[Laptops/HP_Spectre_x360_13-ap0053dx|2018 Spectre x360]], but then I don't have 4K this time. It doesn't run as cool as an [[Laptops/HP_Envy_x360_13-ay0021nr|AMD Ryzen-based HP Envy x360]], however.
