Quiet refresh. HP's large Spectre 2-in-1, the Spectre x360 15t, now comes with eighth-generation quad-core i7 processor, refreshed Nvidia graphics and a faster SSD. The striking aluminum chassis remains unchanged. How the updated hardware components affect the performance, temperature, fan noise and the battery life is the the subject of our review update.

Hands on: HP Spectre x360 15 (2018) review
Source: Techradar English Archive.org version
With the latest HP Spectre x360 15, HP has managed to straddle the line between modernity and legacy, not to mention power and panache. This year’s version(s) isn’t any wild reimagining of the firm’s 15-inch 2-in-1 laptop, but rather a major refinement.

80% HP Spectre x360 15 (Kaby Lake-R) review: A solid 4K 2-in-1 overshadowed by its beefier sibling
Source: PC World English Archive.org version
The 2-in-1 HP Spectre x360 15 gets a welcome 8th-generation performance bump, a 4K display, a roomy keyboard and impressive battery life, all in a sturdy if somewhat hefty and pricey package. That said, we can't help but cast an envious eye toward the Kaby Lake-G version of the Spectre, which beats this Kaby Lake-R model in just about every department, all for just $120 more.

Although it's hefty and unwieldy in Tablet mode, the HP Spectre x360 15's thoughtful design and top-notch performance make it an excellent 15-inch convertible laptop.

94% HP Spectre 15-inch x360 (late 2017) Laptop Review
Source: Reviewed.com English Archive.org version
If you're looking for a machine that can handle heavy photo or video editing, the Spectre 15 is a great choice. With its vivid display, 8th-Gen Intel processor, and 2-in-1 design, it's a really well-rounded laptop. The connectivity options are good too, especially the SD card reader, which comes in handy when you need to offload photos or transfer big files. In addition to connectivity options, the color scheme is really eye-catching as well. While we love the long battery life and zippy performance, we still had a few gripes.

The Spectre x360's performance, sound and vibrant display define opulence in laptop computing. If only its heating issues didn't take away from the experience. For a brighter screen on a cool-to-the-touch laptop, you could save $200 with the $1,199 Lenovo Yoga 720 we tested, though you'll be trading away some speed. But for a top-shelf laptop with first-class style and enough battery life for a long flight with multiple layovers, the Spectre x360 is an excellent option.

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.
