HP Spectre x360 review
HP Spectre x360 review
Welcome to a Medical Battery specialist of the HP Battery
The Spectre x360 15t is a bigger version of the original x360 we reviewed last year. It brings the same well-constructed design as its smaller stablemate, along with a comfortable keyboard and a nearly bloatware-free Windows install. Because it's so thin and light for its size, it's a good pick for people who want more screen real estate (not to mention a 4K resolution option). It's a fine, well-rounded machine; just don't expect any performance gains over the smaller model. If you do indeed need some processing muscle to match those extra pixels, you'll need to look elsewhere.
True to its name, the 15-inch Spectre x360 with battery like HP Eagle Defibrillator Battery, HP 43100A Battery, HP 43120A Battery, HP 43200A Battery, HP 43130A Battery, HP 78672 Battery, Medtronic MNMLP20 Battery, Medtronic DEFI-B M113 Battery, Medtronic M240 Battery, Primedic DM1 Battery, Primedic DM3 Battery, Primedic EC01 Batteryis a bigger version of the 13-inch model that we tested last year. Like the smaller edition, it has a beautiful machined aluminum body with rounded corners, blunt edges and a 360-degree lie-flat hinge that makes the machine look equally thin regardless of whether it's in clamshell or tablet mode. The keys are also made of metal and are as well spaced as you'd expect on a machine with this large a footprint. Though the buttons look shallow for a laptop this size, in practice they're comfortable to type on, not to mention quiet. To match, there's an extra-wide, single-button trackpad that gave me ample space to move around but could be a little flaky, even with single-finger tracking. Hopefully HP can fix that through a firmware update.
What you might not expect, though, is how light the thing is. Typically I dread reviewing 15-inch machines because I know they'll weigh down my bag and take up a lot of space on my desk. I can't do much about the larger footprint in this case, but at 4.05 pounds, it's definitely easier to tote around than other 15-inch systems. The x360 is also thinner than I would have guessed, at 0.63 inches thick. That won't save me space on my desk, but it at least makes it that much easier to hold the machine in hand.
Though the 15-inch model has a bigger footprint, it barely offers more ports along its edges. Like its smaller stablemate, it includes three USB 3.0 connections, a Mini DisplayPort, an HDMI socket, an SD card reader, a headphone jack and a volume rocker, for use in tablet mode. The only other thing you'll get here is a smaller USB Type-C port -- an important addition, considering how ubiquitous the standard is getting. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if HP added it on the 13-inch edition too.
