Reddit mentions of HP Spectre x360 2-in-1 15.6" 4K Touch Laptop 8th Gen i7-8550U 32GB Ram 1TB SSD NVIDIA MX150 Thunderbolt Win 10 Pro HP Pen + Best Notebook Stylus Pen Light (1TB SSD |32G RAM |WIN 10 PRO UPGRADE)

There is that option but I didn't choose it for the reason that I wanted to fully upgrade it and it wouldn't be that cost effective to buy higher and replace the ssd and ram later on.

Also I'd blame the extra £500+ cost on the hp spectre price because of SquareTrades theft/damage insurance. It still works out cheaper than the xps 15 9575 though because I didn't include the £100 cost of buying their active pen and the fact they don't cover theft with premium support plus which is disappointing.

Also I looked at the price of a 32gb ram version on amazon for £3000 and my way seems like a much better deal tbh:

• RAM: HyperX Kingston Impact 2x16GB 2400MHz DDR4 CL14 260-Pin SODIMM Laptop HX424S14IBK2/32 (Actually a good choice tbh)
  
• SSD: Likely default 1TB SSD (Chance of the inferior Toshiba XG5 SSD? Not bad, not particularly good)
  
• Only 30 days support so it would cost an extra £500+ to get warranty that covers damage and theft without the default care pack for 3 years hp is offering on their website.
  
  I intentionally chose to compare the price of cheapest model with an i7 8705G and RX Vega M to be upgraded to the max so its much more cost effective, its interesting what you can get for a similar price since the ram isn't soldered like the xps 15 and is supposedly more future proof as a result. Got the choice of ram I'd want if I choose a spectre and the SSD if I buy them separately instead of the default ssd with lower speeds on read & write.
