There's a new 13.5-inch HP Spectre in town and it absolutely trumps the 13.3-inch Spectre that came before it. The jump to 3:2 is a natural move to put the Spectre series more in line with prosumer competitors like the Dell XPS or Asus ZenBook S series.

My only reservations are its performance and price. Looking at the charts above, it’s clear that its performance is average, which probably shouldn’t be the case given that it costs close to three grand. With a retail price of S$2,899, the Spectre x360 14 is not cheap. If getting the most bang out of your buck is a priority, it’s clear that you are not going to get that from this notebook. What you are getting, however, is a stylish and portable convertible notebook that comes with an OLED display and very high specs. And to be fair, a comparable convertible notebook, like a Dell XPS 13 2-in-1 or a Microsoft Surface Pro, is going to set you back almost as much – and those don’t feature OLED screens. To sum up, the Spectre x360 14 isn’t as attractive a proposition as its predecessor was. It’s still a solid notebook, but the competition has improved markedly and options now exist that offer considerably more value for money. And that is hard to disregard. In other words, for most people, there are more sensible alternatives.

The HP Spectre x360 14 is a great long-term investment for anyone looking to upgrade their mobile workstation. You can customize the laptop's configuration on the HP official store site for the optimum balance between power, performance, and design. Of course, if you're not tied to Windows, the Apple MacBook Air with M1 will give you better battery life, better colors, and better photo/video editing performance for roughly the same price. On the flip side, MacBook users looking to move to a Windows-based computer will love the familiar feel of the HP Spectre x360 14's keyboard and USB-C connections as well as the gorgeous FHD and 2K OLED displays. The 2-in-1 convertible form factor is ideal for anyone who wants to streamline their workflow and eliminate redundant devices like tablets; the 180-degree hinges make it a breeze to switch from a traditional laptop to a tablet for watching videos or drawing. While the price is steep, the top-notch components are worth the extra cash in order to keep up with current and next-generation graphics and processing needs as well as internet and wireless connectivity.

I enjoyed using the HP Spectre x360 14. It is not a perfect machine, but yes, it is damn close to perfect. The idea of a beautifully crafted notebook that also performs well is hard to achieve. A notebook like the Spectre x360 would never come cheap and a lot has to do with how HP’s engineers designed this device. Sure, there are many excellent Windows notebooks out in the market but the Spectre x360 14 gets right on many fronts.

The Spectre x360 14 is not a bargain, however. It's a premium model and is priced as such, currently starting at $1,170 on HP's site. It can be set up with an 11th-gen Core i5 or i7 processor, 8GB or 16GB of memory, up to 2TB of storage and a choice between two 13.5-inch 1,920-by-1,280-pixel displays, one with 400-nit brightness and the other with 1,000-nit brightness and HP's privacy screen feature, which makes it difficult for onlookers to see what's on your screen. You can also pick one up with a 3,000-by-2,000-pixel OLED display for $1,730. Prices for the Spectre x360 14 starts at £1,200 in the UK and AU$3,199 in Australia.

Beautifully built and well furnished, the stylish ultra-portable isn't revolutionary in the processor department - an 11th Gen Intel processor is a modest upgrade - but has a supporting cast that elevates the overall experience. 12-hour battery life is joined by dual Thunderbolt 4 Type-C, an impressive quad-speaker sound system, and a gorgeous 3:2 OLED touchscreen that is easily one of the best laptop displays current on the market.

When we’re evaluating a convertible laptop at the Spectre’s price point, the big question is how it compares to the gold standard of Windows convertibles, the Dell XPS 13 2-in-1. The XPS has a few advantages: it’s a bit thinner and lighter, its touchpad is less stiff, and it has a more modest look that some users might prefer.

It seems like laptops with 3:2 screen ratios are officially a trend. The HP Spectre x360 14 is the company's first Spectre two-in-one with a taller display than the 16:9 widescreen displays you're probably used to seeing. Acer has already released a laptop and a two-in-one with 3:2 displays and, Thursday Microsoft announced the Surface Laptop Go with the same screen ratio, which it has used on past Surface models too. While widescreens are nice for entertainment, the 3:2 ratio is roughly the same as a standard A4 sheet of paper and has about 20% more vertical viewing space than a 16:9 display.

As must be the case with all my fellow technology journalists, people often come to me for advice on the best piece of gadget they should buy. While our answers may vary, the absolute truth in the world of gadgets is that there is no one size fits all approach. Many factors, like use-case, budget and others, determine what the best-suited gadget for you is, be it among smartphones, tablets, laptops or any other electronic equipment. That being said, there is a product every once in a while that tries to fit the bill for all kinds of users. Usually, such a product is versatile in nature, is easy to use, and comes from a legacy of well-built, reputed offerings in the market. The latest such device I managed to get my hands on is the HP Spectre x360 convertible laptop. As an explanation on the above-mentioned grounds, the Spectre x360 comes with a convertible form factor, meaning it can be used as a laptop and as a tablet, ensuring a versatile operation. It comes equipped with Windows 10 Pro out-of-the-box, an operating system that now most PC users are accustomed to.

Lisa Gade reviews the late 2020 - early 2021 HP Spectre x360 14, a redesign of HP’s premium Windows 2-in-1 laptop that keeps the gem cut design while switching to a 13.5” 3:2 aspect ratio display. The Ultrabook supports touch and the included HP active pen (MPP 2.0, aka N-Trig) and is available with Full HD+ IPS base display, a 1,000 nit Sure View Reflect privacy display and our OLED 3,000 x 2,000 display. It has Intel 11th gen processors with Intel Iris Xe graphics, a fingerprint scanner, an electronic webcam kill switch and B&O quad stereo speakers. It competes with the Microsoft Surface laptop and Surface Book, among others.

Except for wishing it had an HDMI port, we are having trouble finding anything to criticize—this Spectre x360 has the beautiful design and OLED goodness of its 15.6-inch sibling in a considerably easier-to-carry package. It not only deserves our Editors' Choice award in its category, it ranks among our top four or five laptops, period.

To sum up, the Spectre x360 14 isn’t as attractive a proposition as its predecessor was. It’s still a solid notebook, but the competition has improved markedly and options now exist that offer considerably more value for money. And that is hard to disregard. In other words, for most people, there are more sensible alternatives. But if a notebook that can double up as a tablet is one of your main requirements, then this is arguably the best high-end option. As long as you can afford it.

Laptops of this caliber have one thing in common – they never let you upgrade their memory. On the bright side, more and more devices with soldered memory (and even more so, such that come as part of Intel’s Evo platform) feature quad-channel setups. This allows for the highest bandwidth possible for the iGPU, which results in a great deal of graphics performance, as it essentially unlocks the Iris Xe Graphics G7’s full potential. Yet again, you will be able to create on the go, thanks to the stylus that comes inside the package. And when you want to pause your work, you can snap it to the left side of the laptop, where a set of magnets will keep it in place. Ultimately, the Spectre x360 14 (14-ea1000) with its OLED panel is a great tool for content creation on the go. The ability to switch between color gamuts is great, especially when considering the accuracy with which it is able to reproduce colors. Even though it costs a premium, we are happy to see that HP made the safe bet, and didn’t introduce innovations that may hinder the overall experience of using the device.

Even with the decrease in battery life, we welcome the addition of the OLED display to the Spectre x360. It’s one of those features that once you’ve experienced it, you will never go back to the old way of a plain-Jane IPS LCD display. The gains in contrast and color dynamics are just too great. Plus, with OLED displays beginning to trickle down to midrange laptops, buyers should certainly expect an OLED on a high-end model like the Spectre x360. OLED aside, it’s one of the best looking 2-in-1 convertibles on the market. The brownish-black chassis is unique without being garish, and the all-metal chassis is rock-solid if a tad heavy. With its U series processor and integrated graphics, it’s a better fit for general office tasks than creative work. Despite the drop in battery life, the Spectre x360 remains one of our favorite 2-in-1 business convertibles.

Earlier, we said that the I/O is pretty limited. While this is true, it is good to see that the two Thunderbolt 4 connectors are paired with a USB Type-A 3.2 (Gen. 2) port and a MicroSD card reader. By the way, the former is possible thanks to a jaw-like mechanism, which is closed by default, thus saving space. Ultimately, we find the Spectre x360 14 (14-ef0000) to be a very good purchase option. Make sure you find a way not to pay for an additional Pen because some competitors of the brand can provide you with just this. For instance, the AMD version of the Lenovo Yoga 7 (14″, 2022) is an absolute unit of a convertible, and it features a stylus inside the box.

Ultimately, the Spectre x360 I think could be worth it if you find one with a decent deal attached. Given the similar pricing to other Windows laptops and the several issues I experienced, the Spectre x360 isn’t my first recommendation. However, when everything was working well, the x360 was a joy to use. I really like the taller 3:2 display, design, and excellent keyboard and trackpad combo. If those things matter to you and the issues won't be a problem for you -- or if you have the time to fix them -- then the Spectre x360 is a more intriguing offer.

The HP Spectre x360 is back and this time it is gunning for the creatives with an intuitive stylus and a remarkably vivid display. There have been quite a few variations of this laptop over the last few years, but this here is the 'ef0046na' model – the latest one. It starts at $1,399 and looks largely the same as the previous model. However, there is an upgrade inside with an Intel i7 chip and 13.5in OLED display. The latter is also a touch screen and the whole device flips into tablet mode, which again, underlines its main target audience – creative folk.

HP’s Spectre x360 14 is a great option if you want a 14-inch Windows 2-in-1 and plan to make full use of its 2-in-1 versatility. It’s thin, light, portable, well-built, and ships with a standard touchscreen and active stylus. The Spectre x360 also benefits from a beautiful OLED display, strong performance, and a large touchpad, and a top-tier webcam. It’s not inexpensive and has a few downsides, like limited connectivity and a merely good keyboard, but it’s on-target for shoppers who still want to live the Windows 2-in-1 dream.

Overall, the HP Spectre x360 2024 ticks all the boxes for a premium thin-and-light laptop. It excels in casual everyday use and can handle some power-and-graphics-intensive tasks. Intel Evo certification ensures quick boot times, instant resume function, extended on-battery time, and enhanced data transfer rates. However, it is worth noting that this laptop is not intended for gaming or content creation, although it can manage casual gaming and multimedia editing. For those tasks, a laptop with discrete graphics may be more suitable.

They’ve been excelling in many different areas (e.g., webcam quality and AI performance), but for some reason, they can’t quite nail it in the power-efficiency arena. The HP Spectre x360 14 seems to finally cover all the bases necessary for a satisfying Windows experience, including decent battery life, smooth performance, crisp sound, and more.

A frequent traveller, over the years I have realised that a computer that I can take with me everywhere is my idea of an ideal laptop. While my iPhone 13 mini can perform many tasks on the go, there is a clear distinction between how I view my phone and a laptop. I turn to a laptop for tasks such as writing, editing, watching Netflix, editing photos, and reading ebooks. Until recently, I had been using a larger computer that was not only ageing but also difficult to carry on my trips due to its weight. So, I decided it was time to switch to the HP Spectre x360 14 for a few days and see if my experience would be any different using a premium 2-in-1 laptop.

It's early in the year, and already HP's 2024 Spectre x360 is in the running for one of my favorite laptops of the year. It checks off so many boxes for me: great display, bassy speakers, solid performance, and even the keyboard is great. The larger size compared to the previous model allows for bigger keycaps. The caps combined with the laptop's durable construction results in a comfortable typing experience. Prices for the 2024 Spectre x360 start at $1,449.99 with multiple configurations available. The unit I reviewed was one of the higher-end models sporting the Intel Core i7 processor mentioned earlier and 2TB of storage. It costs $1,878.99.

Its elegant, gem-cut design and exceptional battery life make it highly versatile for both work and play.

Ideal for users seeking a blend of luxury and functionality, the Spectre x360 14 stands out as a superior choice in the convertible laptop market.

The numbers don’t lie — the HP Spectre x360 14 (2024) is a star, and a hell of a one at that. From performance to battery life, this machine is a dream. But why didn’t I give it a perfect score? Well, I wish the display performed better and that there were more ports to go around. If you’re itching for someone a little cheaper that offers a brighter display and significantly more battery life, I can only recommend the MacBook Pro 14 as a suitable substitute. Otherwise, the HP Spectre x360 14 (2024) is the perfect choice for those who want a reliable premium laptop.

The battery life is quite good. I managed two hours of processor-heavy work and gaming on a bright screen and 19 hours of surfing and word processing on a dimmed screen. That’s really good considering its high-resolution OLED screen that can often jump up to 120 Hz mode. There are longer-lasting laptops, but not many that are this slim and fast. HP also gets points for its high-quality and versatile webcam. It films up to 4K if you use HP’s own Enhanced Camera feature. It can then be accessed in other applications such as streaming or video conferencing as a virtual camera. It has features like smart light and color control, eye contact effect, de-worming, and more. These are things that are already abundant in meeting programs such as Zoom and Teams, but it would be nice to have another option. If you run the camera directly, you get at best 1440p, even then with high quality.

Overall, the HP Spectre x360 14 2-in-1 is a very attractive and capable system that has the potential to make our best Windows 11 laptop list and our best 2-in-1 laptop guide. I'm particularly impressed by the sharp 9MP webcam, several time-saving AI features and the colorful OLED display. And it's all wrapped up in a design that's lighter than the 14-inch MacBook Pro — and that's with a touch screen. The only things that give me pause right now are the relatively short rated battery life and the brightness of the display, but we'll see how it fares once we get it into the lab.

The only things that give me pause right now are the relatively short rated battery life and the brightness of the display, but we'll see how it fares once we get it into the lab.

There may be questions regarding the Meteor Lake chipset’s performance and efficiency, but that’s not to say that the Spectre x360 14 is a poor performer. It’s plenty fast for all but demanding creators and offers good to great battery life. Its display and audio are excellent, and the new design is attractive and functional. There’s a lot to like about the Spectre x360 14, so I’m giving it a near-perfect rating as the best convertible 2-in-1 I’ve used. Perhaps HP will better tune the Meteor Lake chipset for improved performance and efficiency. And I question the real value of all the AI discussed in the marketing materials. But as it is, I can give the Spectre my strongest recommendation.

We wish it cost a couple of hundred bucks less, but the 2024 HP Spectre x360 14 easily repeats as an Editors' Choice award recipient. We'd like to see a few minor complaints addressed next time, like a media card slot and somewhere to store the stylus, but these aren't deal-breakers here, especially thanks to the included accessories. All told, this may be the best consumer convertible you can buy so far this year—we'll hold off on making that call until we see more Intel Core Ultra-generation 2-in-1 laptops—but either way it's an excellent choice for grab-and-go productivity and versatility.

The new HP Spectre x360 14-inch wants to make your life easier with a bunch of new AI capabilities made possible by Intel’s Core Ultra chip. This Meteor lake laptop can keep you centered in the frame during video calls, create AI-generated images and deliver privacy alerts more efficiently via its NPU. We went hands on with this Windows 11 laptop ahead of CES 2024, which starts at $1,499 and goes on sale January 8.

14.00:
14 inch display size represents a middle ground between the small subnotebook formats and the screens of the standard 15 inch laptops.
The reason for the popularity of mid-sized displays is that this size is reasonably easy on the eyes, provides good resolutions with usable detail sizes, yet does not consume too much power and the devices can still be reasonably compact.
In the past, 14-inch devices were very rare, but now they are the standard for laptops after the 15-inchers.
