The latest HP Spectre is definitely smaller, faster, and more portable than ever before, but the unsteady CPU performance and noticeable ghosting will leave some casual gamers disappointed.

In truth, I'd be hard-pressed to pick a favorite from any of these three, but I might lean toward the Spectre with an i7 and 512GB SSD if I were putting my own money down. Either way, they're all spectacular laptops that offer class-leading design, battery life, speed, and portability. When friends and family ask me which laptop to buy, chances are these are the ones I'm going to point them to.

A very small footprint and 4K OLED panel makes it a star - both indoors and outside. However, pure power and battery credentials aren't as impressive as an HP Envy. Still, this Spectre is one of the best slim and light laptops HP has ever made.

HP Spectre x360 is an updated convertible laptop that's certainly no ghostly apparition; it’s real, and a powered-up CPU makes it even more awesome than before. This could very well be the best laptop HP has ever made.

The HP Spectre x360 will dazzle you with its vibrant 4K OLED panel and its smaller footprint. Top that off with powerful performance, a superfast SSD and a comfortable keyboard, all for $1,799. However, where the Spectre x360 stumbles is battery life — but as we've seen with other premium laptops, having a 4K display is no excuse for poor endurance.

That makes it considerably pricier than the ASUS ZenBook UX434 and Acer Swift 5, but that’s the price to pay for the extra features (convertible form factor, Thunderbolt 3 support) and refinement. And to be fair, that’s comparable with its closest rivals such as the Dell XPS 13 2-in-1 and Microsoft Surface Pro 7. So in other words, the Spectre x360 13 is pricey but not unreasonably so.

There’s plenty to love about the 2020 Spectre x360 including its quirky angular design, the quality of the display and decent connectivity options. Despite this, HP’s sleek business-grade 2-in-1 falls short in a number of departments, with relatively underwhelming performance compared against leading 2-in-1 devices, and so-so battery life.

The HP Spectre x360 13 is extremely compact and relatively powerful. The brand new 10th Gen Intel ‘Ice Lake' processor is a welcome upgrade, especially in terms of battery life and graphics power, but it doesn't exactly bring about a revolutionary leap in performance – at least in this case. You won't be able to play AAA games or run heavy creative software. What you do get is a nimble, responsive system for everyday productivity in a very small package.

The HP Spectre x360 (2021) took an already great laptop and made it better. Performance and portability were combined in last year’s HP Spectre x360 model for one of the best laptops we’ve ever seen. And, with the 2021 model, the bar has been raised now that it bears the seal of Intel’s Evo certification. For the certification, the 2021 version of the Spectre has to meet certain standards, the end result being better performance as well as design. This model comes with fantastic battery life, lasting almost 13 hours in our PCMark 10 battery life test, showing that a Windows laptop can last just as long as Chromebooks and MacBooks here. It can also do some casual gaming and boots up very quickly – anyone outside of a hardcore gamer will be impressed. That’s not to say the HP Spectre x360 is perfect. While you can use it in tablet mode thanks to that 360-degree hinge, it’s a bit too bulky and clumsy to function well as a tablet.

What was already an amazing laptop has been made better with the HP Spectre x360 (2021). In last year’s HP Spectre x360 model, portability was effortlessly married with power for one of the best laptops we’ve come across. And, with the inclusion of Intel Evo certification in the 2021 model, that computing experience is even better. Aside from those issues, this is a supremely accomplished laptop that’s great for day-to-day use, including work. However, with starting prices of $1,349/£1,199/AU$3,339 (various markets have different starting configurations), it's pricey. If you have the budget for it, though, you won’t be disappointed.

HP has done stellar work with the Spectre x360 in terms of its sleek and premium design aspects which will surely grab eyeballs. The device might not be meant for handling heavy workloads but packs in enough punch to run through Microsoft Office, Chrome, Adobe’s suite of applications not involving video editing and more. For a starting price of Rs 1,19,900, there are a few competing 2-in-1 options that include the ASUS ExpertBook B9 and the Dell XPS 13 9310, both of which are cheaper but not by a lot. However, none of them have the flashy appeal of the Spectre x360 which is certainly worth spending that extra Rs 5,000 on.

One of its most spectacular features is its battery life, however. In the intensive PCMark 10 battery life test, the HP Spectre x360 (2021) almost hits the 13 hour mark. We’ve been able to easily make it through a full day of work on a single charge in our own testing. This Spectre proves that a Windows 10 laptop can actually compete with the battery life of Chromebooks and MacBooks.

I'll leave the decision up to you — whether the touchpad and screen benefits on the Spectre x360 14 are worth the extra cash. Either way, you can't go wrong. Having said that, you should consider other capable laptops in this category as well, like Dell XPS 13 2-in-1 and Lenovo Yoga 9i, before spending your hard-earned money.

Expectedly, the performance increase was exponential, as the Core i7-1165G7 offers improvements both in computational and graphics power. And for a machine that is a bit larger than a Kindle, this is impressive. Especially the fact, that the notebook complies with the Evo platform, which traditionally enables more balanced performance.

The HP Spectre x360 is an overall well-performing Windows machine. It is small and lightweight, the build is premium and sturdy, the performance fast and non-glitchy and the battery life long. The audio output on speakers is not loud for a room and if this matters, you could always use the 3.5mm headphone jack or Bluetooth for audio. People looking to shell out over Rs 1 lakh on a lightweight and premium-looking Windows laptop for mostly work purposes would find this convertible a sound investment.

The HP Spectre x360 is one of the best small convertible laptops available in 2021. It lacks features seen in alternatives, like 5G and a slot-in stylus, but it does offer excellent build quality, a keyboard you'll love working on, long battery life and a relatively high contrast screen.

This year’s HP Spectre x360 packs an even bigger punch thanks to the inclusion of Intel’s 11th-gen CPUs. It’s also tailored, due to meeting specific requirements of Intel’s for that Evo certification, to make the next ‘evolutionary’ jump in laptop design. What you end up with is svelte, light, and very portable. The Spectre is a premium and beautiful laptop.

All in all, this is one of the better looking Tiger Lake laptops on the market, with very solid all-around performance to boot. If you're content with a 16:9 display aspect ratio, the 2021 Spectre X360 13 should be on your short list of candidates.

The 11th-Gen Intel Core i7 breathes performance in the spectacular-looking HP Spectre x360 convertible laptop, making it a near-perfect thin-and-light notebook. Near-perfect because there are thermal issues which hamper the laptop’s on-the-go utility. The laptop also lacks a discrete GPU, which limits its usage to everyday tasks. But it should be noted that there is no other laptop this light that also packs in a discrete GPU. Priced at Rs 129,999, the HP Spectre x360 is a premium convertible laptop good for everyday use. It, however, is not the only capable laptop in its segment. The Asus ZenBook Flip S UX371 (review) and Dell XPS 13 are the two other 11th-Gen Intel Core processor-powered options you might like to check before finalising your pick.

A screen with a 16:9 aspect ratio is better than a 3:2 display for one thing—watching videos—so if you're a streaming junkie, you'll find the Spectre x360 13 an excellent convertible choice. It's also a good pick if your budget's tight, with a capable base model priced under $1,000 and our well-equipped test unit coming in $440 under the Editors' Choice-award-winning Spectre x360 14 (though, to justify the premium, that laptop had a higher-resolution OLED display and twice the storage). Otherwise, the productivity boost of the squarer screen tips the scale to the slightly larger Spectre.

HP: Founded in 1939, the US company is a major server and printer manufacturer and one of the leading IT companies in the world. Until 2015, the company was called Hewlett-Packard Company. After a split, the computer division was renamed HP Inc.
In 2023, HP had an approximate market share of 22% of global PC sales, making it number 2 after Lenovo.
Modern games should be playable with these graphics cards at low settings and resolutions. Casual gamers may be happy with these cards.
Intel Iris Plus Graphics G7 (Ice Lake 64 EU): Integrated graphics card in Intel Ice-Lake G7 SoCs based on the new Gen. 11 architecture with 64 EUs (Execution Units / Shader Cluster). The clock rate depends on the processor model ranging from 300 MHz base to 1050 - 1100 MHz boost. The Ice-Lake chips are produced in the modern 10nm process at Intel produced.
Intel UHD Graphics 620: Integrated GPU (GT2, 24 EUs) found on some Kaby-Lake-Refresh CPU models (15 W ULV series). Technically identical to the previous Kaby-Lake GPU called HD Graphics 620.
Intel Iris Plus Graphics G4 (Ice Lake 48 EU): Integrated graphics card in Intel Ice-Lake G4 SoCs based on the new Gen. 11 architecture with 48 of the 64 EUs (Execution Units / Shader Cluster). The clock rate depends on the processor model ranging from 300 MHz base to 1050 - 1100 MHz boost. The Ice-Lake chips are produced in the modern 10nm+ process at Intel produced.
Intel UHD Graphics G7 (Lakefield GT2 64 EU): Integrated graphics card in Intel Lakefield G7 SoCs based on the new Gen. 11 architecture with 64 EUs (Execution Units / Shader Cluster). Similar to the Iris Plus G7 in Ice Lake CPUs but with a much lower clock speed of only 200 - 500 MHz and therefore only performing on a level with the Intel UHD Graphics 620. The Lakefield chips are produced in the modern 10nm process at Intel produced.
Intel Iris Xe G7 96EUs: Integrated graphics card in Intel Tiger Lake G4 SoCs based on the new Gen. 12 architecture with 96 EUs (Execution Units / Shader Cluster). The clock rate depends on the processor model. The Tiger Lake chips are produced in the modern 10nm+ process at Intel.

Intel Ice Lake:
i7-1065G7: Ice Lake-based quad-core processor for thin and light laptops. The four cores are clocked at 1.3 GHz to 3.9 GHz and should offer 18% more IPC (instructions per clock) than the previous generations (and therefore partly close the clock speed gap). Produced on first-gen 10 nm Intel process.
i5-1035G4: A low-power, Ice Lake family processor (SoC) featuring 4 cores, 8 threads, 6 MB of L3 cache and the Iris Plus G4 (48 EUs) iGPU. This Core i5 saw the light of day in H2 2019; it is designed for use in highly portable consumer laptops. The CPU cores run at 1.1 GHz to 3.7 GHz. The Sunny Cove microarchitecture that is in use here is notable for several improvements over Skylake including support for new technologies, new instruction sets and fast LPDDR4-3733 RAM. There is no PCIe 4 support here, however.
Intel Core i7: The Intel Core i7 for laptops is based on the LG1156 Core i5/i7 CPU for desktops. The base clock speed of the CPUs is relatively low, but because of a huge Turbo mode, the cores can dynamically overclock to up to 3.2 GHz (920XM). Therefore, the CPU can be as fast as high clocked dual-core CPUs (using single threaded applications) but still offer the advantage of 4 cores. Because of the large TDP of 45 W / 55 W, the CPU is only intended for large laptops.
i7-8565U: Whiskey Lake based low power quad-core processor (technically identical to Kaby Lake but produced in a further improved 14nm++ process). The four cores are clocked between 1.8 and 4.6 GHz (Turbo Boost) and support HyperThreading.
Intel Tiger Lake:
i7-1165G7: An upper mid-range, quad-core processor of Tiger Lake product family. The i7 is designed for use in ultra-light (yet actively cooled) laptops; it is manufactured on Intel's third-gen 10 nm process marketed as SuperFin. The CPU cores run at 2.8 GHz (base clock speed @ 28 W TDP) to 4.7 GHz (single-core Boost frequency). This i7 features the 96 EU Intel Iris Xe G7 iGPU; it was the second-fastest CPU of TGL-UP3 line-up when Intel initially launched the series in 2020.
i5-1135G7: A quad-core, mid-range processor of Tiger Lake product family designed for use in ultra-light laptops. The i5 is manufactured on Intel's second-gen 10 nm process marketed as SuperFin and features an 80 EU Iris Xe G7 iGPU. Core i5-1135G7 has a base clock speed of 2.4 GHz as long as it is allowed to consume 28 watts.
