Reviews for the HP Spectre x360 16 RTX 4050
HP Spectre x360 16 convertible review: Now with 55 W GeForce RTX 4050 graphics | Notebookcheck
The GeForce RTX 4050 GPU runs laps around the integrated Arc 8 configuration. However, CPU throttling bugs are holding back the dGPU configuration from being even better.

HP Spectre X360 - 2 in 1 Notebook/Tablet
Source: Gadgetspeak
In less than nine months Microsoft stops supporting Windows 10. The HP Spectre X360 is both a very nice Notebook and if you turn the screen through 180 degrees it is an excellent Tablet. In either mode you have Touchscreen ability. This was a brand new unit which took 35 minutes from switch on till you have answered all Microsoft's questions and done the required updates. I then found close to 50 files in 'updates' after around another 30 minutes I saw a number of the updates had been completed and several others required a restart. After I went to restart it decided I needed a BIOS update and after that a Firmware update. When I checked the updates I found everything completed so almost 50 updates in a hour. It comes with Windows 11 Home 24H2 (this has only just become available) 64GHz version.

HP Spectre x360 16 (2024) review: A premium 2-in-1 laptop that does it all
Source: Laptop Mag
The 2024 HP Spectre x360 16 is a powerful, premium 2-in-1 that earns its high price with stellar performance and a sleek chassis design. This is a do-it-all device that can go from productivity tasks to gaming with ease. The inclusion of an Nvidia RTX 4050 discrete GPU takes performance up a notch, which is great for gaming as well as content creation. Overall, the Spectre x360 16 thoroughly impressed me. The large OLED display renders everything in bright, colorful detail and the speakers are some of the best I’ve ever heard on a laptop. If you’re looking for one of the best 2-in-1 laptops, this one deserves your attention.

HP Spectre x360 16 (2024) Review
Source: PC Mag
The 2024 reboot of the HP Spectre x360 16 is the latest in a successful string of premium laptops, marked by a luxurious design and a premium 1800p OLED touch screen. Features like AI-enhanced hardware and software, an excellent 9MP webcam, and clever new touchpad gestures all add appeal, but those high points carry less weight at this price. More a concern: Competing systems simply outpaced the Intel Core Ultra processor in this implementation. Even with an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4050 giving the laptop a visual boost, its performance never quite keeps pace with the like-priced pack. The premium design and features count for a lot. But the performance isn't category-leading, making this Spectre a worthwhile choice for many, but not the standout leader on all fronts that you might have hoped for, given past x360 efforts.

HP Spectre x360 16 Review: Beautiful 2-in-1 Laptop Needs a Performance Boost
Source: CNet
Yes, its size is a bit awkward as a handheld tablet and the RTX 4050 upgrade may not bring you the graphics performance you desire, but the HP Spectre x360 16 remains a versatile and well-designed two-in-one. Its audio-visual output is excellent and makes the system a great pick for general home use when you aren't using the giant OLED display for creative endeavors.
