![]() There are no creaks or oddities (the keys on the back in tablet mode don't bother me). Honestly, this is the first convertible laptop that I felt comfortable using on the couch in tablet mode. And frankly, I think it looks better too. When combined with the metal body, thin profile, and light 2.85lb frame, using the Spectre as a tablet is a pleasant experience! The hinge employed by HP is not as flamboyant as Lenovo's, but the function is just as good - it's stiff, but not annoying. The Spectre x360 could be the first laptop to change my mind. I've always found the idea ahead of the state of technology. At least it's placed at the right level - on top of the display (looking at you, Dell XPS 13).įold me 'round HP Spectre x360 tablet modeĪs a connoisseur of laptops, I'm not a huge fan or user of convertibles laptops. Not the best camera for photos, but it looks better for videoĪs to functioning as a camera for video (better) and stills (just OK), the Spectre x360 gets high marks compared to the competition. That's why the Surface series use it, and companies like Dell put it in their XPS line. ![]() Precision is great since it's the idealized version of what a trackpad should be under Windows 10. HP tends to eschew Microsoft's Precision Touchpad recommendation, which is a combination of hardware and software guidelines. If there is one big complaint I have with the Spectre x360, it comes down to the trackpad. It's not "Precision", but it's not bad either HP Spectre x360 trackpad It ranks with the Microsoft Surface Book for my typing needs. The Spectre x360 keyboard gets an outstanding rating. I should note that the keyboard backlight is one-stage only: on or off. Even the infamous backlight toggle button no longer stays lit when backlighting is disabled. I'm happy to report that neither affects the revised Spectre x360 and it's an improvement over the previous version. White LED lights do not contrast as much with silver keys as it would with black ones, as well as the possibility of distracting light bleed from under the sides of the keys. Since HP opted for silver metal keys, the backlight situation is tricky. Keys are large, square, and spacious making typing a breeze Spring back for the keys is also satisfactory. There is plenty of key travel without getting mushy. ![]() Like their Lap Dock for the Elite x3, the Spectre x360 seems to borrow from the Surface Pro 4's fantastic Type Cover with ample spacing between the keys. The Spectre x360 features a full-sized edge-to-edge keyboard with square, metal keys. Overall, the Spectre x360 delivers an excellent display experience with some added innovation.Ī typing delight HP Spectre x360 keyboard Not only does the Spectre deliver a "typical" web camera experience, but it also adds facial recognition security while still providing a high-quality display. While not quite as impressive as Dell's Infinity Display – regarding resolution, color, and lack of bezel – HP again strikes the right balance. HP kept the web camera at the top and added an important dual IR facial recognition for Windows Hello biometric authentication. There is still ample bezel at the top and bottom, but here it makes sense. ![]() HP reduced the Spectre x360's display bezel by 77%, dropping from 15.1 to 3.4mm by giving it an edge-to-edge screen. Even though it's "only" Full HD the Spectre x360 has one of the nicest displays I have seen
