Model: The HP Spectre x360 series is a representation of the HP company brand of convertible laptops that center on the theme of business orientation. What makes the HP Spectre x360 so intriguing is the fact that these convertible models feature a 360 degree hinge mechanism, which allows the user to configure the positioning of the devices into a more comfortable and practical position in accordance to their liking. In a long running attempt to maintain the relevance of the HP Spectre x360 series, the next entry into this applaudable collection would be none other than the HP Spectre x360 15-df0500nd model itself. First and foremost, it is worth noting that the HP Spectre x360 15-df0500nd model is a convertible that carries the measurement size of 15.6 inch for its screen. The common denominator of standards would be 14 inch for convertibles. This exemplifies the fact that the HP Spectre x360 15-df0500nd model is designed to cater more towards consumers that require a bigger screen display in order for them to be able to conduct their work on a better resolution. The 15.6 inch display also supports up to 3,840 x 2,160 pixel resolution. These metrics are truly outstanding due to the fact that some high-end gaming laptops (which are designed to sustain very heavy load due to in-game graphics generation) can only achieve up to a mere 1,920 x 1,080 pixel resolution. It is ascertained for users of the HP Spectre x360 15-df0500nd convertible that they are going to be able to navigate through all multimedia aspects at the highest graphics resolution possible. Furthermore, the HP Spectre x360 15-df0500nd also comes with a 4k touchscreen feature, which is all the more appreciated by users.

The operations of the HP Spectre x360 15-df0500nd convertible is handled by a 7th Generation Intel Core i7-7500U processor and the Nvidia GeForce 940MX graphics processor unit. The Intel Core i7-7500U has a base clock of 2.9 GHz, which leaves very little room for lag and sluggishness for work productivity. The inclusion of the Nvida GeForce 940MX as the HP Spectre x360 15-df0500nd’s graphics processor unit of choice, however, does come off as a surprise and has caused somewhat of a stir. The Nvidia GeForce 940MX is not too shabby when it comes to rendering graphics but this particular GPU model is considered to be one of the oldest in the scene. It is understandable that the design of the HP Spectre x360 15-df0500nd is more business-oriented, but the incorporation of an old GPU meant for gaming is a bit of a slump.

15.60":

15-inch display variants are the standard and are used for more than half of all laptops.

The reason for the popularity of mid-sized displays is that this size is reasonably easy on the eyes, often allows high resolutions and thus offers rich details on the screen, yet does not consume too much power and the devices can still be reasonably compact - simply the standard compromise.
