These days, everyone is looking for a laptop that has a hinge attached to its screen. Adding a hinge to the laptop is not a bad idea, mostly because it transforms it into something more comfortable and travel-friendly.
Key Points
HP deserves credit for the fact that it had the idea to add a hinge to its most-popular Spectre line. The direction its consumer desktop and laptop design has taken over the past year is incredible.
The huge manufacturer managed to turn some relatively functional, but cheap-looking devices, into engaging versions that are pleasant to look at and great to use.
Beautifully designed and with practically no missteps, the HP Spectre x360 15 has a great keyboard and trackpad, 4K display, above-average sound system with solid battery life and decent performance for the money. |
As we see, the first redesign iteration of its general-purpose is the Spectre x360.
The company managed to transform this line into a premium convertible design. The difference between the 2015 model and 2016 model is huge.
Now, the company comes with a 2017 model that is simply incredible. HP managed to refine it even more, adding an incredible design that doesn’t sacrifice function for form.
If someone is looking for a laptop that can be both mid-budget and premium, that potential buyer should know that the new HP Spectre x360 15 is the right product.
This means that this laptop is configured and priced for decently good performance at an affordable amount of money. The new HP Spectre x360 15 will be available at the price of 1.500 dollars and it will start shipping on February 26.
One of the best things about this laptop is that people will be able to custom configure the model on HP’s site for as low as 1.270 dollars.
But, the important options that people be able to select are the amount of storage (256GB, 512GB or 1TB PCle SSD), the amount of memory (8GB, 12GB or 16GB) and the version of Windows 10.
To be added that under the hood, people will also find a 2.7GB Intel Core i7-7500U, accompanied by 2GB Nvidia GeForce 940MX. As for the screen, the new HP Spectre x360 15 comes with a 15.6-inch screen, featuring a 3.840 x 2.160 touch display.
To be added that the new HP Spectre x360 15 also has an N-Trig active stylus. But, there are also included conversion cables for Ethernet and USB-A which bring unexpected convenience. Customers should know that the system has a 2 USB-C connector, a USB-A 3.1 on the right side and a HDMI.
Moreover, there is a headphone jack and SD card, along with the power switch. Of course, there aren’t a huge number of ports on the new HP Spectre x360 15, but that is the way convertibles roll these days.
Other important changes compared with the previous model include limiting the aluminum chassis to the swankier cooper and brown option. This means that HP has decided to drop the silver and it will offer it only with a Core i7 and 4K UHD touchscreen with slimmer side bezels.
The display is responsive for both touch and pen, and not exceptionally reflective. The contrast is really good and saturation is perfect for watching videos, working and surfing the web.
