HP Spectre x360 13-aw0013dx Convertible Review: Powered by Intel Ice Lake
The late 2019 HP Spectre x360 13 Ice Lake model directly replaces the early 2019 HP Spectre x360 13 Whiskey Lake-U models with new processor options and a new smaller chassis. Users can now choose between the Core i5-1035G4 or i7-1065G7 CPU, FHD IPS or 4K UHD AMOLED touchscreen, 8 GB to 16 GB of soldered RAM, and up to 2 TB of PCIe NVMe storage with prices ranging from $1000 to $1900 USD. Our unit today comes equipped with the Core i7 CPU and FHD display to represent the middle SKU. For this review, we'll be exploring the differences between this laptop and the older Whiskey Lake-U Spectre x360 13 as well as other Ice Lake laptops already in market.
The Spectre x360 13 competes directly with other flagship subnotebooks or Ultrabooks including the Dell XPS 13 7390 2-in-1, Lenovo Yoga C940-14, Asus ZenBook Flip, Huawei MateBook X Pro, Microsoft Surface Laptop 3 13.5, and Razer Blade Stealth. Users who find the Spectre series too pricey can go one step down to HP's mid-range Envy series instead.

Case
HP has carefully reduced the size of the bezels without impacting the overall quality of the chassis. This means that the latest Spectre x360 13 feels just like last year's model while being noticeably more portable at the same time. Both the lid and base remain rigid with only minimal twisting and almost no creaking as any flagship Ultrabook should be.
The most notable gen-to-gen visual change is the reduction in length from 217.9 mm to 194.5 mm. Even so, the newer model is actually slightly thicker this time around at 16.9 mm compared to 14.7 mm on last year's model to be one of the thicker 13.3-inch flagship subnotebooks. Overall volume is still smaller than the outgoing Spectre x360 13 and with a slightly lighter weight as well.
If we are to have one complaint, we think the hinges could be stiffer to give a better sense of longevity.
Connectivity
Port options remain identical to last year's model albeit with the 3.5 mm headphone jack now on the left edge instead of the right. The USB Type-A port is also slightly different because of the change in chassis thickness. The lack of any HDMI ports means owners will have to rely on adapters, DisplayPort over USB Type-C, or Thunderbolt 3 for connecting external monitors.
SD Card Reader
We can appreciate HP keeping the spring-loaded SD card reader even if it's MicroSD only. The competing Lenovo Yoga C940, for example, integrates no SD reader at all. Transferring 1 GB worth of images from our UHS-II card to desktop takes just under 7 seconds much like on the XPS 13.

Communication
The Intel AX201 comes standard for Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) connectivity and Bluetooth 5; any less and this laptop wouldn't be compliant with Intel Athena. The AX201 is functionally identical to the AX200 save for some minor chipset differences. We experienced no connectivity issues during our time with the test unit.
Though our specific test unit doesn't support it, HP offers SKUs with WWAN and Micro-SIM options unlike on the competing XPS, Yoga, Aspire, or ZenBook lineups.

Maintenance
Servicing the system can be tricky at first because the bottom panel is secured by two T5 Torx screws and four more hidden Philips screws underneath the rear rubber footing. After popping off the bottom panel with a sharp edge, there's not much to upgrade save for the M.2 2280 SSD protected under an aluminum plate.
Accessories and Warranty
HP includes a faux leather carrying sleeve, two AAAA batteries, and an active stylus pen (model 905512-001) in the box. The pen is thicker and thus easier to grip than the pen for the Lenovo Yoga C940, but it requires a battery to use.
The standard one-year limited warranty applies with options to extend up to 3 years.
Input Devices
Keyboard
Key feedback and layout remain identical to the outgoing Spectre x360 13 despite the overall reduction in chassis size. We find the typing experience to be crisper and firmer than on the XPS 13, ZenBook 13, or Lenovo Yoga C940 and one of our favorite Ultrabooks for composing long drafts or emails. You'll have to get used to the cramped Arrow keys, however.
Touchpad
The clickpad is smaller this time around at ~11.1 x 5.6 cm compared to ~12.1 x 6.1 cm on the older Whiskey Lake-U model likely due to the smaller chassis size. Though cursor control is smooth at all speeds and free of jitters, vertical movement can feel cramped on the wide surface area. To be fair, this is more of a general limitation of subnotebooks than a fault of the manufacturer.
The integrated mouse keys offer shallow travel with clicky feedback and moderate clatter. The main problem is that clicking takes quite a bit of force from the finger which can feel tiring after a while.
Display
HP doesn't explicitly state it, but the display on the latest Spectre is one of the biggest changes from last year's model. The AU Optronics panel here differs significantly from the JinSheng M133NVF3 panel on the Whiskey Lake-U Spectre x360 13 in terms of brightness, contrast, and response times as shown by our table below. Pulse-width modulation in particular is no longer present to imply that HP is utilizing a different backlight this time around which coincides with the overall brighter display. The dim display on last year's model was one of our main criticisms and so it's good to see it addressed here on this Ice Lake SKU.
Unfortunately, response times are now slower meaning ghosting is more noticeable. The difference can be jarring especially when compared to the latest 144 Hz or 240 Hz gaming panels where response times can be as fast as 3 ms. Interestingly, HWiNFO is unable to pull the panel name even though it is able to detect the AU Optronics AUO5E2D controller. The latest Dell XPS 13 utilizes a similar AUO5B2D controller with almost equally slow black-white and gray-gray response times.
The end result is a touchscreen that's just as crisp as before but with deeper black levels and a brighter backlight at the cost of more ghosting.

* ... smaller is better
Color space covers approximately 99 percent of sRGB and 65 percent of AdobeRGB to be in line with most other flagship Ultrabooks and even gaming laptops. The 4K UHD AMOLED SKU of this same laptop will likely have a wider color gamut than our 1080p IPS SKU.
The display is not very well calibrated out of the box. Color temperature is slightly too warm with average DeltaE grayscale and color values of 6.1 and 3.46, respectively. After calibrating the panel ourselves against the sRGB standard, color accuracy improves significantly. We recommend applying our ICM profile above or calibrating the display yourself to get the most out of the display.

Outdoor visibility is better than on last year's model since the display is now almost 65 percent brighter. Be sure to disable the Display Power Saving Technology feature via the Intel Graphics Control Panel software or else maximum brightness will dip to 373 nits from 447 nits when on battery power. For even better outdoor visibility with less glare, we recommend the HP EliteBook x360 1040 as it offers 1000-nit display options.
Viewing angles are excellent with slight contrast changes if viewing from extreme angles as expected.
Performance
There are no Core i3 SKUs since HP is positioning its Spectre series as high-end consumer machines. Expect more Ultrabooks to carry the same Core i5-1035G4 and Core i7-1065G7 CPUs with Iris Plus graphics in 2020. If you want discrete graphics options, then you'll have to look at the larger Spectre x360 15 series instead.
RAM is soldered much like on the competing XPS 13 7390 2-in-1 and Lenovo Yoga C940. LatencyMon shows DPC latency issues even when the wireless is disabled.
Processor
CPU performance is a mixed bag in relation to other Core i7-1065G7 laptops already available. While its CineBench multi-core scores are within 2 to 7 percent of the average, running CineBench R15 Multi-Thread in a loop reveals the poor performance sustainability and cycling behavior of the Spectre. As shown by our graph below, its initial score of 640 points can drop to 530 points over time to represent a performance dip of 17 percent. Furthermore, scores will cycle between 520 and 560 points due to the cycling clock rates of the HP whereas other Ice Lake laptops remain more stable.
Expect a performance dip of about 15 percent if opting for the lesser Core i5-1035G5 SKU.
Overall CPU performance is still an improvement over the Core i7-8565U on last year's Spectre despite the subpar implementation of Ice Lake.
System Performance
PCMark scores are within just a few percentage points of the average Core i7-1065G7 laptop albeit still consistently behind the XPS 13 7390 2-in-1. Even so, the system is an improvement over the older Whiskey Lake-U-powered model that it's meant to replace.

Storage Devices
Unsurprisingly, only one internal storage bay is available. The 512 GB HP HBRPEKNX0202AH M.2 PCIe SSD integrates 32 GB of Intel Optane H10 memory with mixed results. Sequential read and write rates according to AS SSD, for example, average only about 1000 MB/s and 300 MB/s, respectively, compared to 1800 MB/s and 1100 MB/s on the Toshiba BG4 KBG40ZPZ512G as found on the XPS 13 7390 2-in-1. The price premium for Optane technology has yet to become competitive against traditional NVMe SSDs.

Gaming Performance
Average frame rates are 20 to 30 percent slower than the average Core i7-1065G7 in our database due to the clock rate cycling behavior of the CPU and GPU that we will detail in the next few sections. In short, frame rates fluctuate far more than usual for an inconsistent level of gaming performance. Rocket League on high quality 1080p settings, for example, is nearly 25 percent slower than the RX Vega 10 in the Dell Latitude 5585 or 37 percent slower than the Nvidia GeForce MX150.

When on the lowest graphical settings, frame rates would cycle between 19 FPS and 41 FPS instead of remaining steady throughout. This undesirable behavior has not been observed on any other Core i7 Ice Lake laptop thus far including the Dell XPS 13 7390 2-in-1, Razer Blade Stealth, Lenovo Yoga C940, or Microsoft Surface Laptop 3 15.

Emissions
System Noise
The cooling solution consists of twin 35 mm or 40 mm fans with two heat pipes between them. Fan noise, however, is essentially non-existent when browsing or video streaming. In fact, the fans remain idle even when running the first benchmark scene of 3DMark 06 on the High Performance setting.
Running Witcher 3 induces a cycling fan noise between 31.9 dB(A) and 35.3 dB(A) whereas most other laptops will stabilize at a specific RPM. The Lenovo Yoga C940 with the same Ice Lake CPU, for example, stabilizes at 40.7 dB(A) when running the same game. The atypical behavior on the HP backs up our stress test observations below where CPU temperatures and clock rates would cycle when under load as well.
We can notice no electronic noise or coil whine from our test unit.
