After Walt's review of the HP Spectre, Nilay and Walt pick up where the review left off and dig into how the laptop compares to its direct competitor, the MacBook. They also look back at Walt's review of the Lenovo Yoga, which, back in 2012, had tablet-like features — something Walt compliments the Spectre for not having.

Additionally, the duo go into Nilay’s recent article about replacing the 3.5mm headphone jack from phones, in response to the rumors about Apple’s next iPhone.
