![]() The Spectre x360 15 supports 802.11ac Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.0 for wireless connections. HP added its HP Orbit app, which works with a companion app on your Android or iOS phone so you can move files like photos and videos wirelessly between devices. And the SSD is relatively clear, containing the latest updates of Windows 10 and a few extra apps like Netflix and McAfee LiveSafe. That amount of RAM will help you open large graphics files, as well as multitask with many windows or tabs open. That's what we'd expect for a power user rig at this price point, and what's present on both the HP Spectre x360 13-w023dx and the 4K version of the Yoga 910. ![]() The laptop comes with 16GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD for storage. The stylus has two auxiliary buttons on the side, customizable for right-clicks and so on, but it lacks a top-mounted button (like the one you'll find on the Surface Book's Surface Pen) for waking up Cortana or opening OneNote. It's pressure sensitive, and works well with the active digitizer behind the screen to give you Windows Ink compatibility for apps like Sketch Pad and Sticky Notes (built into Windows 10). HP includes an active stylus that uses N-Trig technology. The keyboard is comfortable to type on for long periods, and the one-piece touchpad supports multitouch gestures and is easily accessible over a large portion of the palm rest. ![]() ![]() Backlighting shows through the white letters on the keys with very little bleed around the keycaps, so you can see them easily in all lighting conditions, even a darkened room. The chiclet-style keyboard is backlit, and the dark gray color of the keys matches that of the keyboard deck, projecting a monochrome look. But if you plan on spending a lot of time in Tablet mode, the Spectre x360 15 is just big enough to be awkward. This reinforces the advantage convertibles have over detachable-hybrid tablets like the Microsoft Surface Book and the Surface Pro 4 you should choose a convertible over a tablet if typing is a priority. It will fit neatly into any commute bag made for a 15-inch notebook, with or without the included neoprene sleeve.Īs with other convertibles, the laptop's two hinges let you flip the lid through Notebook, Stand, Tablet, and Tent modes so you can choose whether or not you want the keyboard in front of you. The laptop measures 0.7 by 14 by 9.88 inches (HWD) and weighs 4.39 pounds, making it larger than the latest 15-inch Apple MacBook Pro but a bit slimmer in width than last year's HP Spectre x360 15t (15-ap012dx). Flip for VideoĬlad in aluminum and glass, this Spectre x360 15 is "Ash Silver" (dark gray), and has copper accents around its edge and on the HP logo on its lid. But if you don't need the bigger screen, or you do need longer battery life, the smaller Spectre x360 is a better choice. Larger than its 13-inch sibling, the HP Spectre x360 13-w023dx (our latest top pick), it's good for the power user who needs a desktop-replacement laptop but wants something modern, or the budding art student. Its 15.6-inch 4K screen is large enough for both consuming media and creating art, and the Intel Core i7 processor, discrete Nvidia GeForce 940MX graphics card, large 512GB solid-state drive (SSD), and included active drawing stylus give it sufficient power and flexibility to manage both. The 2017 HP Spectre x360 15 (starts at $1,279.99, $1,499.99 as tested) is one of a growing number of large-screen 2-in-1 convertible-hybrid laptops.
