![]() ![]() ![]() The laptop is also equipped with the HP TrueVision FHD IR webcam and a dual array digital microphone, perfect tools for video conferencing. Personally, we like that, but some people might prefer warmer hues, which is why we’re mentioning it.Īs we mentioned earlier in the review, this display is coated in Gorilla Glass, so it has a high-quality, sturdy look and feel, with a touchscreen that is both accurate and responsive. ![]() Color representation is gorgeous as well, even though it errs a bit on the cooler side with some blue and magenta hues. The image quality is incredible, with videos and games popping from the screen, while the 60Hz refresh rate ensures smooth and accurate tracking. The stunning 4K, IPS display is one of the Spectre’s best features. Or, at the very least, give yourself some time to get used to it. We would suggest going with an external mouse with this laptop, even if you’re not gaming. It doesn’t help that it’s fairly wide for a trackpad, which means that any time you’re left clicking, your hands will crowd on the left side. If you’re used to properly centered trackpads, this might affect your workflow, as you would end up repeatedly, accidentally right-clicking when you mean to left-click. While the trackpad is flush with the enclosure, offering a smooth and responsive performance, its left-of-center placement is a little strange. The keyboard also boasts a dedicated number pad – good for lefties – and shortcuts lining the top for media functions, keyboard backlighting and airplane mode. We do not find it fatiguing and are able to use it for long stretches, whether we’re responding to emails, writing articles or entering cheats on Sims 4. Other than that, the keyboard on the HP Spectre is a delight to use, with more bounce and travel than one would expect on a computer this thin – better than Apple’s butterfly keyboard, in our humble opinion. If you plan on using an external mouse, fair warning: your mouse hand will get hot. One frustrating thing about the design is the placement of the air vents on either side of the laptop. The two USB-C ports help keep this computer future proof while the HDMI, USB 3.1, microSD reader, and audio jack cover any other existing connections one might need, especially for creative professionals looking to move away from Apple’s minimalist Thunderbolt campaign. For a 15-inch laptop with such a thin form factor, it comes with a decent amount of ports, which is a welcome detail. In addition, the two back corners are angled – with the right one hiding the power button and the left keeping a USB-C port – with vents positioned near the back on each side. The inclusion of Gorilla Glass for the screen and Bang & Olufsen speakers attest to HP’s careful attention to detail, and those are just to start. The only downside is it does collect fingerprints and track dust quite easily, so if you’re a bit obsessive-compulsive with how clean your laptop is, expect to be constantly wiping this chassis clean. ![]() The chassis is made of a high-quality aluminum that feels solid and looks elegant at the same time. While it is a bit heavier than other premium laptops like the Macbook Pro, it doesn’t feel any less portable sitting at 0.76 inches thick, so much so that you’ll hardly even notice its weight when using it. This laptop’s design is as superior and smart as its performance, with a sophisticated matte “Poseidon Blue” chassis fringed with gold trimming running around its edges. Whoever says first impressions don’t last, obviously hasn’t gotten their hands on the HP Spectre x360 15T. Though with that, you get 1TB SSD storage, 16GB of memory (RAM), an 8th Generation Intel Core i7 processor (CPU), a 4K display and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti graphics card. However, if you’re in the market for a budget laptop, consider this: the souped up 15-inch configuration we tested for our review will set you back $1,849 (£1,899, AU$4,199). The HP Spectre x360 15T’s performance is great enough to make its price tag practically a non-factor.
