The Spectre x360 13 is the best Spectre 2-in-1 yet. Our biggest gripe with previous Spectre convertibles was that they were very bulky compared to the competition, but the narrower bezels have helped slimmed down both size and weight tremendously without...

When I tell people they should buy a 2-in-1 , systems like the HP Spectre x360 are the reason why. It's got all of the utility of a standard laptop, with the flexibility and intimate usability of a tablet. You also get rakish good looks, and it comes with...

It's been a long time since I've wanted to test a laptop this badly. The HP Spectre 13.3 isn't just the world's thinnest notebook; it's the most exciting device Hewlett-Packard has made in years. I mean, just look at it. The 10.4-millimeter-thick, 2.45-po...

In the pursuit of building the world's thinnest laptop, HP both improved on its rivals while also introducing a different set of trade-offs. Hardware I imagine the Spectre 13's design will be polarizing: Some will love it and others will hate it...

You might not think it's possible to build a super-thin laptop without compromise. But you would be wrong.At least that's the takeaway after reviewing HP's Spectre 13.3, which offers top-notch performance and a reasonably good keyboard in a body that lays...

In the end, I have to give HP credit for accomplishing its goal of making the thinnest laptop possible without compromises. You're truly getting Core i7 performance in a body most manufacturers would outfit with a low-power Core m. And let's not forge...

Architects and artists may argue about whether form follows function, but the HP Spectre x360 13t has both. This 2-in-1 ($899 starting, $1,520 as tested) has a beautiful metallic design that looks good whether it's in laptop, tablet, tent or stand mode. A...

Enduring beauty. I want a light 13-inch notebook, a tablet, a high-quality as well as great looking chassis, and really long battery runtimes. But that are 4 wishes at once, that's really not possible! Yes it is. The big surprise in our in-depth review...

Lid bounces heavily and for a long time during movements, and cannot be opened with one hand, Ethernet adaptor only 10/100 Mbps, no maintenance hatch, keyboard illumination cannot be dimmed and is slightly uneven, black value too high, which affe...
We think that the price-performance ratio is good as well, because the great unibody chassis is available for less than 1,000 Euros (~$1127) in the slightly slimmed-down version 4000ng. The HP Spectre is therefore a strong rival for the MacBook Air (MD761...

Love the hinge. Okay, sure, maybe 99% of the time I don't need to use it as a tablet, but it's just so effortless to transform that I do it anyways. It just screams: “Why don't all laptops bend over backwards this way?”, The silver-and-black construction...

If you've been following along, then you probably know how this conclusion is going to go. The HP Spectre x360 is definitely among the best laptops on the market right now. It's pretty inexpensive as well, starting at $1,149 but offering 16GB RAM, 512GB s...
