![]() The 12.72 × 8.84 × 0.56-inch dimensions of Lenovo’s Yoga 910 slots right in between the 13- and 15-inch Spectre models, given the Yoga’s 14-inch screen size. ![]() The Spectre’s light weight, compact size with its Micro Edge screen with its beautiful near-bezel-less design, bundled HP Active Pen, Windows 10’s inking support, and strong battery life performance make this a terrific convertible for mobile use in academic, professional and travel settings.Īlthough the Spectre occupies a slightly larger footprint than Dell’s XPS 13 2-in-1, for example, it’s still 0.04 inches thinner, which is a marvel of engineering given that the XPS uses a less powerful fanless Intel Core M processor. Its size and weight compares favorably against rivals in this space. The Spectre x360 is just as slim and light as it is beautiful, measuring 12 × 8.5 × 0.5 inches and weighing 2.8 pounds. On the matte lid, this color combination really looks sophisticated, with HP’s angular logo etched in golden copper. The color is the same hue as found on the 15-inch model that we reviewed earlier this year, and it’s unmistakably HP by design.įinished in a unibody aluminum housing with a brushed, anodized dark coppery grey tone and polished copper accents on the sides, the Spectre looks more like a piece of modern desk art than a technological tool to accomplish work. HP’s design has really matured over the past few years, as the company tries to capture more of the high-end market, and the Ash Silver color is really stunning. Unlike the late 2016 silver version, you won’t mistake this model for the MacBook, and that’s a great thing. So how do you make an already great laptop even better? HP is back at it with its early 2017 refresh, adding more polish and features-like a crisper display, inking support and a trendy new color to match its larger 15-inch sibling in the family make the Spectre x360 13-inch our new favorite pick for this year. In late 2016, HP made some bold design refinements-slimming down the footprint of the Spectre by reducing the screen bezels and adding Intel’s latest processors to the mix-making the late 2016 13-inch model one of our favorite picks for the year and the notebook to beat. Packed with features and debuting at an affordable price, the 2015 version of HP’s Spectre x360 was the darling of the tech community. Of course, if you're doing any of those things, you probably want dedicated graphics, too, like you find in the 16-inch Spectre x360 or the larger HP Envy models.The new gold standard in laptops-when it comes to design, performance and value-is now available in a shade of copper. As long as you're not editing video or gaming, you'll do just fine with the Spectre x360. HP prioritized battery life and bet that you wouldn't be able to tell the difference between this and if it included a 28W processor, and it was right. ![]() I don't know the last time I thought about performance in a productivity laptop. I think the question that needs to be answered here is how much performance you actually need. Now, you can get a bit more performance from some extra wattage, but you'll either need to sacrifice battery life to get it, or the OEM needs to include a larger battery to compensate. You just got a high-end 28W SKU that really only shipped in MacBooks (back when Macs shipped with Intel). It's kind of interesting because until Intel's 12th-generation shipped, there was no 28W tier for laptops.
