It’s a 13.5-inch display with a 3:2 aspect ratio. That said, an ultraportable is supposed to be used for less intensive tasks and there wasn’t much I was doing on the Spectre x360 where I needed a 90 or 120Hz refresh rate. This is a bit disappointing as the smoothness of a 120Hz screen, or even a 90Hz screen, is something I’m now familiar with. The display is capped at a maximum of 60Hz. It looks richer, the blacks are deeper, and everything feels lusher.
There’s a noticeable difference going from a non-OLED screen to an OLED one. The OLED screen-lighting is the standout here. Colours are vibrant and crisp, and images are sharp.
The Spectre x360 boasts an OLED display with a 3,000 x 2,000 resolution – HP calls this 3K2K – and a 60Hz refresh rate. The box also comes with a protective leather sleeve to put the device in when on the go. There’s a fingerprint scanner at the bottom right of the keyboard as well.
HP SPECTRE 15 PORTS WINDOWS
Not ideal for those wanting to use the x360 mainly as a tablet.įortunately, the 2-in-1 supports Windows Hello facial recognition, so you can wake it up via the built-in camera in both laptop and tablet mode. You must put it back into laptop mode and then use the button. You’d think you could flip it over, press the power button, and it would turn on. One design feature that isn’t ideal is the keyboard’s power button, which doesn’t work when the device is in tablet mode. You can easily switch between tablet and laptop mode without the charger getting in the way if you have it plugged in. It’s a unique take on the placement of ports, and it works well. On the back corners of the laptop, the edges have been diagonally cut off and replaced with a USB-C port and the headphone jack. There’s a USB-A port, two USB-C Thunderbolt 4 ports, a microSD slot and a headphone jack. The Spectre x360 has just enough ports to satisfy most needs. You can feel the keyboard underneath when holding it. The Spectre x360 isn’t as nice to use in tablet mode as a dedicated tablet, like an iPad, is.
HP SPECTRE 15 PORTS PRO
As a comparison, the Apple iPad Pro is only 12.9 inches, and that felt big. It does mean that it feels big when in tablet mode. It boasts a 13.5-inch display which is ideal for an ultraportable. It’s also compact at 29.79cm x 22.04 cm x 1.7 cm. All of these look nice, and there’s a good range of options varying between flashier and more subtle colours.Īt 1.3kgs, I would categorise this as an ultraportable 2-in-1. The 2-in-1 comes in three colours, Nightfall Black, Poseidon Blue and Natural Silver. It’s light and compact, has a premium feel, and looks good overall. And that’s with a Surface Pro Signature Keyboard with Slim Pen 2 included. The Microsoft Surface Pro 9 with a 12th Gen Intel Core i7 processor, 16GB of RAM, a 512GB SSD, and a 120Hz, 2880 x 1920 resolution display costs $3,948. In comparison, the 14-inch Lenovo Yoga 9i with a 12th Gen Intel Core i7-1260P processor, 16GB of RAM, a 512GB SSD and a 60Hz, 4K display costs $3,826 and includes a Lenovo Precision Pen stylus. This costs $4,399, which makes it a very expensive 2-in-1. Our review version of the Spectre x360 boasts a 12th Gen Intel Core i7-1255U processor, 16GB of RAM, a 512GB SSD and a 60Hz, 3,000 x 2,000 resolution display. There are cheaper alternatives out there. If you’re looking for a 2-in-1 device, you’ll love the Spectre x360 however, you’ll need to make sure you can afford it first. And we also have to consider tablet-first devices that come with detachable keyboards.Īt $4,399, the Spectre x360 is a costly complete package, and that’s without addons like a Stylus. Significantly more expensive than similarly-specced competitors. Throughout our testing, we were able to get around 16 hours of use with normal usage – it’s brilliant.īoth of these features – the screen and the battery – are market-leading for 2-in-1 devices. To get the most out of this screen, you need a battery to match, and the Spectre x360 doesn’t disappoint. Yes, the refresh rate is a bit disappointing, capped at 60Hz, but the quality of the OLED more than makes up for that. Easily switched between tablet and laptop mode, it boasts decent performance capabilities, a battery that will last most of the day, and the screen quality is industry leading.īoasting an OLED 3,000 x 2,000 resolution screen, the device looks great – whether you’re watching movies or working: everything is colourful, vibrant and sharp. HP’s Spectre x360 13.5-inch 2-in-1 Laptop 14 is a very capable 2-in-1 device.
