In the later part of 2019, HP made the wise decision to give its Spectre x360 13 notebook a major refresh. It was so competent that it won the Best UItraportable Notebook award in our 2020 Tech Awards. And now, HP has a new 14-inch version with updated internals and a larger, improved display.
The new Spectre x360 14 comes in black, features copper accents, with chiselled and angled edges. Unquestionably, it’s very eye-catching. Build quality is exemplary. And crucially, with a weight of 1.34kg, it remains fairly portable. .
The 14 refers to a new larger display. Confusingly, it’s really only 13.5 inches. So it isn’t actually much larger than the older Spectre x360 13 which had a 13.3-inch display.
You can get it with a regular LCD IPS panel with a WUXGA resolution (1920 x 1280 pixels) or an OLED panel with a 3K resolution (3000 x 2000 pixels). This means the Spectre x360 14 has a 3:2 aspect ratio, which I like for work because it lets me see more of a document. Regardless of display type, it’s protected by anti-reflective Corning Gorilla Glass NBT. The unit I received for testing came with the OLED display.
