A SINGLE LAPTOP for almost every occasion? That might just be the new HP Spectre x360 16 2-in-1. This 16inch laptop is pretty loaded. How so? It starts with a 16-inch OLED screen with a beyond-4K native resolution. There’s a 12th-gen Intel processor, two-in-one tablet functionality, and 1TB of SSD storage. And did we mention Intel’s controversial new Arc graphics chip? But that’s just the obvious stuff. The finer details include an HP input pen, speakers by Bang & Olufsen, a fingerprint reader, a digital creativity software bundle, a 5MP webcam, and a hefty battery with a claimed life of up to 15 hours.
It’s all wrapped up in a sleek, slim, and moderately portable all-alloy chassis and offered at a remarkably reasonable price. It’s a decent proposition on paper and in practice, it’s pretty sweet, too. The chassis sports the HP Spectre range’s signature crisp lines and excellent build quality, including a nice, solid keyboard bed and robust hinges for the 180° trick when converting into tablet mode. All in, the Spectre weighs 2kg, which isn’t exactly feather-weight. You wouldn’t want to hold it and use it as a tablet for long, but it’s pretty portable for this class of laptop.
