I have to second this - I got a late 2016 Spectre X360 and it's been my daily driver since.
Though I have to say that the ability to open it up is less than ideal.
Because of a leaky water bottle and a surprisingly waterproof bag I managed to soak my week-old laptop for about 12 hours.
There's only two screws on the bottom, and they're covered by rubber feet. The problem is that only two of the four rubber feet are removable - removing the other two breaks a clip, meaning I had to superglue them back on.
After drying it out over the forced-air vents of a server-room for a few days, it was a-ok.
