HP Spectre X360 Two-minute review, Price and availability


The HP Spectre x360 delivers the best in convertible laptop performance without compromising its ultralight and sleek design. This is a laptop that can handle the sort of tasks that you’d need a desktop PC for five years ago, and it’s awesome.

Just when you think the HP Spectre x360 couldn’t possibly get any better, HP takes its premium line to a whole new level in 2020. This latest addition to line brings in key updates and new features while bringing back all those features we already know and love about the line.

 


Now, the HP Spectre x360 is not only more powerful and feature-rich than ever, but it also truly exemplifies the best qualities of both laptops and tablets, starting with the updates under the hood. Inside is an impressive brand-new processor, the Intel Core i7-1065G7, which is an absolute powerhouse of a chip, as well as the flashy new Iris Plus integrated graphics and a RAM that’s doubled.


With those specs, there’s no doubt that this laptop can contend with its big and bulky peers rocking discrete graphics cards. But, it also keeps everything breathtaking on the outside. While keeping everything thin and light, it now boasts a stunning 4K touch display for the lower-end configurations. This gives the more casual users of the line the option to have that glorious 4K viewing that only its higher-end configuration owners have enjoyed before.

With its cutting-edge design and features, the HP Spectre x360 for 2020 has never really been your everyday office grinder. But, in 2020, this stunning piece of portable is something new, something sexier.

Release Price:

Our review model of the HP Spectre x360 (2020) is high-end, but overall pricing in the US starts cheaper at $1,299.99, going up to $1,899.99 depending on the configuration. A number of options are available, with the option to custom-configure your own x360 on HP’s website.

The 4K AMOLED screen (a stand-out feature of our model) does have an exclusive configuration, though.

In the UK, four fixed configurations of the HP Spectre x360 (2020) are available, ranging from £1,199 to £1,799. More configurations are available in Australia, ranging from AUS$2,199 to AUS$3,599.

Overall, the pricing is what we’d expect for a premium 2-in-1 laptop. It leans towards the expensive side, but you get what you pay for here; the HP Spectre x360’s superior design and performance are worth the higher price. It’s also worth noting that the HP Spectre x360 (2020) does come with HP’s Tilt Pen, a decent smart stylus.
