Model: The HP Spectre Pro x360 G1 is not just another 2-in-1 convertible laptop. Its sleek and slim build is “designed to undergo MIL-STD 810G testing” according to HP. This might erase doubt on its sturdiness. With merely 1.5 kg, it is also lightweight. An Intel Core i5-5300U processor and 8 GB of SDRAM 1600 RAM ensure powerful performance. Thanks to its unique hinge system, which allows 360 degree rotation, this hybrid laptop easily switches into four different modes. Its fairly large 13.3-inch display features a resolution of 2560 x 1440 pixels and supports 10-point touch technology. The options for internal storage ranges from 128 GB up to 512 GB SSD.

The connectivity includes three USB 3.0 ports, a mini DisplayPort port, an HDMI port, and a memory card slot. Networking is supported by both WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity. The touchpad is wide and responsive. Pre-installed with Windows 8.1, users are entitled to a free upgrade to the latest version of Windows 10. The battery life of up to 9 hours provides users with longer productivity.

Intel HD Graphics 5500: Integrated graphics card (GT2) in the Core processors of the Broadwell U-series (15 W TDP). 

Non demanding games should be playable with these graphics cards.

5300U: Broadwell-based ULV (ultra low voltage) dual-core processor for notebooks and ultrabooks. Offers an integrated HD Graphics 5500 GPU and is manufactured in 14 nm.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.

There are hardly any tablets in this display size range anymore. For subnotebooks, on the other hand, it is the standard format.

The advantage of subnotebooks is that the entire laptop can be small and therefore easily portable. The smaller display also has the advantage of requiring less power, which further improves battery life and thus mobility. The disadvantage is that reading texts is more strenuous on the eyes. High resolutions are more likely to be found in standard laptops.
