HP Spectre x360 (late 2016) Review and Specifications

May 1, 2020

Is your laptop could be thinner, smaller, and lighter with the same great battery endurance and performance, would you celebrate? Or grieve about all the removed ports? That’s not an eloquent question; it’s the deciding factor when you consider buying the latest version of the HP Spectre x360.

Earlier for 2021, I called the 13-inch HP Spectre x360 one of my preferred laptops, because it didn’t push me to compromise. It offered robust processors, great battery life, a beautiful 360-degree bending hybrid screen, a relatively slim aluminum frame plus sufficient ports to plug in two monitors, a keyboard, a mouse, a USB thumb drive and my SD card simultaneously.

HP also updated its HP Spectre x360 laptop with the latest 7th Gen Kaby Lake processor. You also get rakish attractiveness, and it comes with one in every of Intel’s latest 7th-Gen Core CPUs (Kaby Lake), which provides the HP Spectre x360 top-notch performance and spectacular battery life in a stunningly thin chassis. And with a starting price of just $1,050 ($1,300 as examined), the Spectre x360 gives you an excellent and versatile system for a surprisingly friendly price.
