Exceeding Expectations: The compact power of the HP Spectre x360

Published Feb 24, 2020 12:00 am
hp-inc-748956 Officially launched along with the Elite Dragonfly, the HP Spectre x360 stands out amid today's selection of convertible PCs as the world's smallest with a 90% screen-to-body ratio. Measuring 306.77 x 194.52 x 16.9mm and weighing 1.3kg, the new Spectre x360 achieves a significant size reduction 13% smaller than the previous iteration. Like the Elite Dragonfly, the Spectre x360 targets today's professionals, including the millennial generation. That said, both convertible PCs brandishes a sophisticated design that you can be proud of, whether you're in a boardroom or out. Clad in an elegant Poseidon Blue exterior, the Spectre x360 comes with copper luxe accents on a gem-cut design, precisely achieved through the aluminum CNC machining process. Lifting the lid, the Spectre x360 shows its brilliant touchscreen display backed by Intel Iris Plus Graphics. Measuring 13.3 inches, the display is available in two variants: IPS WLED-backlit with FHD resolution (1920 x 1080p) and AMOLED with 4K UWVA (ultrawide viewing angle, 3840 x 2160p). HP complements the vibrant display with immersive audio brought about by a Bang & Olufsen dual speaker system. 8NF08EA-ABU_3_1750x1285 HP has equipped the Spectre x360 with a specialized hinge, allowing it to fulfill its duty as a convertible PC. Apart from its standard laptop form, the Spectre x360 can transform into its three other modes in an instant. Watch movies on it in stand mode or play games on it in tent mode. You can even write or draw on it as a tablet with the bundled HP Spectre Tilt Rechargeable Pen. As a laptop, the Spectre x360 comes complemented with a full-size island-style backlit keyboard and a touchpad with multitouch gesture support. Like its display, the Spectre x360 comes in two processor configurations: Intel Core i5-1035G4 clocked at 1.1GHz (up to 3.7GHz) and Intel Core i7-1065G7 running at 1.3GHz (up to 3.9GHz). Maximum CPU speed kicks in with Intel Turbo Boost Technology. While its maximum RAM sets at 16GB LPDDR4-3200, the convertible also comes in two storage options: 1TB Intel SSD + 32GB Intel Optane and 2TB PCIe NVMe M.2 SSD. In spite of its compact size, HP has managed to include an array of connectivity options in the Spectre x360. The convertible PC comes with two USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-C with Thunderbolt 3 connectors, a USB 3.1 Gen 1 Type-A port, and a headphone/microphone combo jack. It also has a microSD media card reader for additional storage. Wireless connectivity options include Bluetooth 5 and Wi-Fi (LTE also an option). Aware that cyber threats frequently target mobile devices, HP has also equipped the Spectre x360 with security features. Apart from Trusted Platform Module (TPM) support, it also comes with a fingerprint reader, integrated privacy screen, and a kill switch for the microphone and webcam to prevent unauthorized access. Packed with a four-cell 60Wh lithium-ion polymer battery, the HP Spectre x360 offers up to 22 hours of juice, claiming the crown for the world's longest battery life in a quad-core, 13-inch convertible PC. In the Philippines, the HP Spectre x360 has a starting price of P79,990 and can go up to P109,990 depending on the configuration.
