![]() However, the screen has even slimmer bezels and it’s a QHD touch panel. If you don’t need a convertible but still want a premium machine, we recommend Dell’s XPS 13 - the newest version costs Rs 1,43,990 and offers similar performance. Overall, if you see yourself really putting the flexibility of a convertible to good use, this is one of the best you can get anywhere. The only couple of downsides are that the fingerprint scanner is sort of in an odd location and it can get rather hot when taxed heavily - too hot to place on a lap actually, so you have to be careful not to overheat it. Every inch of space on this machine feels premium and purposeful but we especially liked the feel of the keys, the glass trackpad, excellent speakers and the various in-box accessories. Even the backlit keyboard goes edge-to-edge, adding to the premium appearance. It’s covered with a layer of Corning Gorilla Glass NBT, specially designed for touchscreen notebooks (it’s tough and resists fingerprints). The screen has slim bezels, making it smaller than other 13.3-inch laptops. This is one of the most comprehensive PC packages we’ve seen and makes the asking price worth your while. And finally, a leather sleeve with a slot for the pen to hold it all together. There’s also an active pen in the box, powered by a AAAA battery (included). Not to worry because multiple dongles are included for your VGA, Ethernet, HDMI and full size USB 3.0 connections. In terms of ports, it has two USB type C ports in the interests of space saving. Our speed tests on the SSD yielded an average transfer rate of 1071MB per second! This means that this machine is good for photo/video editing and gaming too. The latest 8th generation Core i7-8550 CPU makes short work of all your demanding tasks and it has 16GB RAM plus 512GB of speedy solid state storage to back that up. It’s quite unlike most ultrabooks and the distinctive design is one of the reasons it costs so much (apart from the top-spec components, superb display, tactile keyboard and 1.26kg weight). It still has a CNC machined aluminium body in dark ash with copper accents. Not much has changed in terms of design and price. ![]() ![]() We reviewed the previous version in Aug 2017 and called it “one of the best options if you want a sleek and powerful convertible”. From 1,329 at HP See at Best Buy (OLED) Bottom line: The Spectre x360 14 brings a gorgeous 3:2 display, outstanding quad speakers, excellent trackpad, and just the right. The x360 in the name means that it is a convertible with a touchscreen. This new Spectre x360 is a refinement of the old Spectre with the latest processor upgrades. Pros: Unique and premium convertible ultrabook design, blazing performance, high-quality touchscreen, many included accessories (including multiple USB C dongles, active pen, leather sleeve)Ĭons: Dark Ash + copper combination not to everyone’s taste, side mounded fingerprint scanner difficult to locate without looking, gets quite hot when taxedĭark, menacing and powerful - kind of fits in with the definition of the word Spectre and what this flagship from HP is all about.
