HP Spectre x360 15 review

With spring soon approaching, now might be the best time to head into the new season with a fresh and fancy laptop. Fortunately, HP has you covered and is currently running a sale that is cutting $270 off the price of the 15-inch touchscreen version of its Spectre x360 Windows 10 convertible laptop.

Overall, this sale cuts down the base configuration of the 15-inch Spectre x360 down from $1,370 to $1,100, but only through Saturday, March 23. Under the hood, the entry model comes equipped with the Intel Core i7-8550U processor, 8GB RAM, and a 256GB solid-state drive. Unlike the competing products like the Microsoft Surface Book 2, it features a high-resolution 4K touchscreen. This means you’ll be able to get the most out of the 15-inch panel and enjoy extra-sharp detail in movies and photos. A pen is also included in the box for drawing and other inking tasks, so you won’t need to purchase it separately.

Additionally, for playing games like Fortnite, the base version has a dedicated Nvidia GeForce MX150 graphics card with 2GB of video memory. We had reviewed this version of the Spectre x360 in 2018 and liked its conventional and attractive design. We also found it fast enough for most games and were in favor of its excellent processing performance. Only the overall thickness and disappointing battery life held it back from being perfect.

If you want a model of the 15-inch Spectre x360 that is a bit more powerful, HP is also discounting the version with the Intel Core i7-8705G processor, 12GB RAM, as well as a 512GB solid-state drive. Now $1,350 instead of $1,620, this version features AMD Radeon RX Vega M Graphics, with 4GB of video memory. That makes it a great option for video editing and playing more demanding and graphically intense games.

HP’s sale covers several other of its products, including the 13-inch version of the Spectre X360 from 2018 (now starting at $1,000,) as well as the Omen X by HP 35 Curved Display (now $950.) You also can enjoy a $200 discount on the Omen 15 gaming laptop, with prices now starting at $800.

HP Envy x360 15 vs. HP Spectre x360 15
HP Spectre x360 15 front view.

HP has not just one but two 15-inch convertibles, the Envy x360 15 and the Spectre x360 15, and while they share the same format, they're very different laptops. HP has been aiming the Envy line at creators and the Spectre at discerning productivity users, and so choosing between them can be a challenge. We've taken the time to break down the differences to help you decide which is best for you.

Both of these 15-inch, 360-degree, convertible 2-in-1s are interesting laptops. They work perfectly well as a traditional clamshell, are awesome in media mode for bingeing Netflix, and tablet mode is great, thanks to the expansive screen -- if you prop them up on a surface. Tent mode seems unwieldy, suspending such a large laptop on its edges, but it's otherwise a size and style that adds real value to a 15-inch laptop.

Samsung recently introduced the Galaxy Book Pro 360, a convertible 2-in-1 representing its most serious effort to produce a competitive Windows 10 laptop. HP has been a leading player in that market for years, and it's perfected the convertible 2-in-1 with strong efforts like the late 2020 Spectre x360 15. HP's strength is illustrated by its having machines on our best 2-in-1s and best laptops lists.

Can Samsung's upstart entry take on such an established player?

The HP Spectre x360 14 is my new favorite laptop. Here’s why
HP Spectre x360 14 front view showing display and keyboard.

Over the past couple of years, I've reviewed exactly 125 laptops for Digital Trends, and out of all those computers, the HP Spectre x360 14 isn't just one of my favorites -- it's my favorite laptop, period. There's a reason it made its way to our best 2-in-1s list, not to mention it's one of the best laptops for writers.

That last achievement should serve as a hint as to why I like this laptop so much. I'm a writer, and while I use other, more powerful machines when I need them, my writing laptop has its own extremely specific requirements. The Spectre x360 14, which I've used for about six months now, meets those requirements and then some.
It's the Goldilocks of laptops
