The 3:2 ratio display is taller than a standard widescreen display, a seemingly small change that makes a world of difference when using Google Docs and browsing the web. In its OLED configuration, at a pin-sharp 3,000 x 2,000 resolution, near enough to 4K as makes no difference. If you’re not particularly concerned with wandering far from a power socket, and you have the budget for it, we would recommend the upgrade.

Thing is, at around 14-15 hours as standard, this laptop has heaps of battery life to begin with – an OLED screen takes the longevity of the HP spectre x360 from exceptional to average for a modern Windows laptop. We’re testing the OLED version of the HP spectre x360, which features a lusciously bright and vibrant display that looks considerably better than your standard laptop screen, but knocks roughly five hours off the battery life. Maybe it’s just the laptop’s name, but it looks like something a Bond villain would use to blow up the moon. There’s a Blade Runner-esque quality to the design of the spectre x360.

It stands out in a sea of identikit laptops: from the abstract and rotationally symmetrical HP logo adorning the back of the case to the subtle, chamfered trim encircling the base and screen. The HP spectre x360 is a beautiful piece of engineering, and appears to have been chiselled out of a single block of brushed aluminium. While it’s less suitable for routinely taking on processor-intensive tasks such as video editing and manipulating large documents, there’s enough power here to breeze through most everyday jobs you could ask of it, from juggling dozens of browser tabs, to multitasking between Zoom calls and Microsoft Office to light gaming, so long as you’re happy to dial some graphics settings down. To secure an Intel Evo badge, a laptop must have a battery life lasting at least nine hours, recharge to four hours battery life in half an hour, and be able to boot up and be ready to use within one second of pressing the power button.Īccolades aside, the performance of the new HP spectre x360 can be appreciated from the moment you start using it. That updated CPU means that the HP spectre x360 now meets the criteria for the Intel Evo badge: a certification awarded to laptops built to a certain quality standard (and that use Intel’s own high-performance i5 and i7 chips, of course).
