The HP Spectre x360 series of notebooks are some of the best convertible laptops on the market. The 2023 version with a Core i7-1355U CPU is enjoying a steep US$761 off for an open-box unit in excellent condition at Best Buy. For the price, the laptop appears to be a worthy buy as it has a high consumer rating of 4.8 stars out of 5 at the retailer.

An Open-Box HP Spectre x360 2-in-1 laptop with a Core i7-1355U processor, 16 GB of DDR5 memory, and 512 GB of storage is now on sale at Best Buy for US$738.99 instead of the US$1,499.99 list price for an unopened unit (via slickdeals). According to Best Buy, the laptop is in excellent condition as it “looks brand new” and comes with all the original parts/accessories that you would normally find inside the box. So, if Best Buy’s description is accurate, the US$738.99 HP Spectre x360 convertible represents savings of US$761, an enormous 51% off the list price.

To get the Open-Box notebook deal, scroll down the page to “Buying Options” and choose the relevant unit.

Aside from the CPU and memory configuration listed above, the discounted HP Spectre x360 2-in-1 notebook features a 13.5 inches WUXGA+ touch display with a 3:2 aspect ratio, an advertised 400 nits of brightness, and 100% coverage of the sRGB gamut. The laptop also comes with a decent-sized 66 Wh battery.

While we haven’t reviewed the HP Spectre x360 configuration under discussion, we were thoroughly impressed with the 2022 model prompting us to give the laptop a “very good” score of 90%. For instance, the 2022 model performed quite well thanks to the Core i7-1255U. The Core i7-1355U featured in the model on sale is, per our testing, around 8% faster in the Cinebench R23 Multi-core benchmark.

Similarly, the battery life was also good as we measured a run time of 8 hours in our WLAN test. Since the HP Spectre x360 model on offer packs the same 66 Wh cell, it is reasonable to expect the laptop to a have similar runtime.
