CES 2024 | HP announces 2024 Spectre x360 14 with 2.8K 120 Hz OLED and makes it available the very same day
While most laptop announcements are simply announcements, HP is double dipping this year with both an announcement and the immediate availability of its latest Spectre x360 14. The new 2024 model has been refreshed both inside and out when compared to the original 2021 version.
Aside from the obvious CPU upgrade to Meteor Lake, the most notable upgrade lies in the touchscreen which is now a proper 14-inch screen size. The original 2021 version was blasted for its 13.5-inch screen despite having "14" in its name, but the 2024 version rectifies this and more by also incorporating a 120 Hz variable refresh rate to extend the relatively short battery life of OLED laptops. The soldered RAM is now much faster (7467 MHz vs. 4266 MHz) while the new 9 MP webcam should offer crisper images than pretty much any other laptop webcam currently in the market.
All the changes come with slight increases to weight and footprint when compared to the 2021 Spectre x360 14, but the significant upgrades arguably make up for them.
The 2024 Spectre x360 14 is now available at both HP.com and Best Buy starting at $1500 USD in Black, Blue, and Silver color options. Its announcement and availability coincide with the 16-inch version of the same design.
