Design

The Spectre x360 is sleek. It’s light and compact, has a premium feel, and looks good overall.

The 2-in-1 comes in three colours, Nightfall Black, Poseidon Blue and Natural Silver. All of these look nice, and there’s a good range of options varying between flashier and more subtle colours.

At 1.3kgs, I would categorise this as an ultraportable 2-in-1. It’s light and easy to carry. It’s also compact at 29.79cm x 22.04 cm x 1.7 cm.

The Spectre x360 has just enough ports to satisfy most needs. There’s a USB-A port, two USB-C Thunderbolt 4 ports, a microSD slot and a headphone jack. On the back corners of the laptop, the edges have been diagonally cut off and replaced with a USB-C port and the headphone jack. It’s a unique take on the placement of ports, and it works well. You can easily switch between tablet and laptop mode without the charger getting in the way if you have it plugged in.

One design feature that isn’t ideal is the keyboard’s power button, which doesn’t work when the device is in tablet mode. You’d think you could flip it over, press the power button, and it would turn on. That is not the case. You must put it back into laptop mode and then use the button. Not ideal for those wanting to use the x360 mainly as a tablet.

Fortunately, the 2-in-1 supports Windows Hello facial recognition, so you can wake it up via the built-in camera in both laptop and tablet mode. There’s a fingerprint scanner at the bottom right of the keyboard as well.

Display

The Spectre x360 boasts an OLED display with a 3,000 x 2,000 resolution – HP calls this 3K2K – and a 60Hz refresh rate. It’s a lovely screen. Colours are vibrant and crisp, and images are sharp. The OLED screen-lighting is the standout here. There’s a noticeable difference going from a non-OLED screen to an OLED one. It looks richer, the blacks are deeper, and everything feels lusher.

The display is capped at a maximum of 60Hz. This is a bit disappointing as the smoothness of a 120Hz screen, or even a 90Hz screen, is something I’m now familiar with. Going back to 60Hz is jarring. That said, an ultraportable is supposed to be used for less intensive tasks and there wasn’t much I was doing on the Spectre x360 where I needed a 90 or 120Hz refresh rate.
