![]() But they’re still only on par with the older and more inexpensive GeForce GTX 1650 Ti graphics card that used to be the solution for true 3D graphics on a budget. The 3D graphics tests from UL (formerly Futuremark) get results that are admittedly well above the typical ultrabook with Intel Iris Xe graphics. So are the promises being fulfilled? Barely: the 3D performance is below what I would call real, and the computer is quite expensive. But still with the promise of real 3D performance in a not too expensive laptop. This is a new graphics processor that is less expensive than the larger models in the RTX series. One of the things that piqued our curiosity and made us order the HP Spectre x360 home for testing was that it comes with the new GeForce RTX 3050 graphics card. Among them the Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 – and HP’s own Envy 15. But you can get better performance from cheaper PCs with more advanced processors. In isolation, these are speeds that are perfectly adequate for office use. The PCMark 10 office software test scores 5,016. The Geekbench 5 test resulted in a score of 1,604 in single-core and 4,950 in multi-core. Especially since the machine in turn has the brand new Wi-Fi 6E standard. The Ethernet port will probably not be missed. The latter is half-covered by a flap, which shouldn’t really be necessary as its only purpose is to preserve the sharply designed edge of the casing. There’s an acceptable selection of ports on the HP Spectre x360: two USB-C ports of the latest vintage – with integrated DisplayPort and Thunderbolt 4 – plus an HDMI output and a single USB-A port. The Spectre series is HP’s premium range, where extra attention has been paid to build quality and design. There would have been room for a numeric keypad, but HP opted for ergonomics – and space for the Bang & Olufsen sound system. A discreet white backlight makes it easy to find the right key in a darkened auditorium. On the other hand, the large case provides plenty of space for the keyboard, which is spacious, and the keys feel just as firm as they should. But although the edges are rounded and adorned with a copper-coloured accent stripe all round, it doesn’t really manage to make the 40cm-wide, two-kilogram computer feel light and elegant. On the x360, it’s seen in the form of a graphite-grey unibody enclosure. The Spectre series is HP’s premium range. This makes the computer an obvious choice for graphic artists.Īs the name suggests, the HP Spectre x360 is a 360-degree PC where the keyboard can be folded onto the back of the screen, allowing the machine to function as a tablet. A touch-sensitive pen is included in the rather large box. A bright and crisp 16-inch in UHD+ resolution (3860 x 2400 pixels). The screen is the Spectre x360’s most compelling card. But you do get a workspace that’s suitable for more than just typing emails on the go. So the computer takes up a lot of space and weighs a lot. The HP Spectre x360 is a large 16-inch laptop in 16:10 aspect ratio. We’ve tested a few of these over the years, but where previous models have been compact 13-inch machines, the screen on the current generation has grown to 16 inches. The HP Spectre x360 is, as the name suggests, a 360 degree PC where the touch screen can be rotated all the way around and laid flat against the back of the keyboard, allowing the machine to be used as a tablet. Most extreme in the leather-bound HP Spectre Folio. ![]() But one common thread has been a sleek and luxurious design. HP’s Spectre series of laptops has had many expressions over the years.
