While the touchpad on the Spectre x360 measured a cool 88 degrees Fahrenheit, the reading from its keyboard tied our 95-degree comfort threshold, and the 102-degree reading from its underside exceeded it.

But it captured a decently even set of colors, and more details were evident in my hair and skin c - blemishes and all - than we typically see in in photos from integrated webcams. Sure, there's a fuzzy grain to the image. Even with Cuphead and Slack running in the background, I saw no slowdown or stutter after splitting my screen between a 2160p YouTube video and a dozen Chrome tabs (including Gmail and TweetDeck). The 8th Gen Intel Core i7-8550U CPU and 16GB of RAM in our review configuration of the Spectre x360 enable speedy performance.

The preloaded Bang & Olufsen audio utility can be ignored, as its default Music setting is optimal for every kind of content, and its Movie and Voice settings distort the sound and take away its evenness.
There's so much to like about this black-and-copper machine that you might be left green with envy if you see someone rocking it in public. Kristofer Maddigan's jazzy soundtrack for Cuphead sounded great on the notebook, with crisp hi-hat drums, strong horns and clear piano keys. The Spectre x360's Bang & Olufsen speakers pumped up the volume, filling our medium-size conference room with solid sound.

It not only tracks input accurately and speedily but also offers smooth scrolling and Windows 10 gesture recognition. The Spectre x360's wide 5.5 x 2.5-inch touchpad makes the most of the generous deck space the big-screen notebook provides. The keys require 80 grams of actuation force, which should provide plenty of feedback, but my fingers still felt like they were hitting the deck of the notebook too soon - a slightly painful occurrence called "bottoming out." However, neither the Lenovo Yoga 720 nor the Dell XPS 13 packs a notably better keyboard. While I could write sections of this review with these keys, I still noticed that they felt a little shallow, even though their 1.6 millimeters of travel is well within the standard 1.5-to-2-mm range we see on most mainstream laptops. When I tested it out on the typing test, I hit a decent rate of 75 words per minute, which is close to my 80-wpm average. The Spectre x360's keyboard is decent, but it leaves room for improvement. It's much more convenient than using hard-to-find AAAA batteries, which I've only ever found online. What I love about this pen, though, is that it's charged from a USB Type-C port in its barrel, revealed by twisting and pulling on the butt barrel. HP's included Active Stylus provides decent input, though I did see a moderate amount of delay and latency (the pause between drawing and the line appearing) while drawing in MS Paint. It also correctly registered Windows 10 navigational swipe gestures for viewing all open apps and opening the action center. The Spectre's touch-screen display accurately tracked my touch input as I navigated the desktop and clicked through tabs in Chrome. And even though it's quite reflective, it offers solid viewing angles, with colors retaining their pop at 45 degrees to the left and right. Still it's a small drop from the 256-nit category average, and well below the 282-nit rating from the XPS 15 and the 272-nit reading from the Yoga 720. However, it didn't feel like a huge problem during testing, with the maximum brightness looking good enough for video and gaming. The 188-percent panel in the Dell XPS 15 is even more colorful.įrom its minimalist logo to the curves on its rear edge, the 15-inch Spectre x360 is one seductive piece of heavy metal I love its sleek black-and-copper colorway.Įmitting up 247 nits, the Spectre x360's panel isn't the brightest. The best was six hours and 20 minutes.Producing 130 percent of the sRGB color spectrum, the Spectre x360's screen tops the 103-percent category average and the 114 percent from the Lenovo Yoga 720.

The worst battery life I got was five hours and 38 minutes, and if that was the best, that would still be pretty good when compared with the rest of the PC market. I kept the power slider on balanced and screen brightness at a comfortable 60%. I test battery just by using it and seeing when the battery goes dead.
If you care about battery life, you buy an HP. And the Spectre still got a better PCMark 10 score than the P-series Dell XPS 13 Plus.Īs far as battery life goes, I can make this simple. You can see that where the P-series laptop beats out this one, it's not by much. CrossMark (overall, productivity, creativity, responsiveness)
