HP has the best 360-degree convertible 2-in-1 laptop you can buy, the all-new Spectre X360 14. It's a laptop that offers really useful** and tablet modes. HP has also updated its largest 2-in-1 laptop, the Spectre X360 16, combining a convertible design with an extra-large display.
However, the latest 16-inch laptops are geared towards creators, with fast CPUs and GPUs to support their demanding workflows, and it's packed with productivity performance.
The first thing you'll notice about the Spectre X360 16 is that it's a large laptop, even by 16-inch standards. 16Dell XPS 16 has a larger 0 compared to 16-inch panel3-inch display, but with 0It is smaller and thinner in size compared to 78 inches, which is 074 inches. However, the Dell is denser and heavier at 48 pounds, while HP weighs less at 43 lbs. This is thanks to Dell's ultra-small display bezels.
The MacBook Pro is also about the same size, with 16The 2-inch display is at the same time the thinnest 066 inches, the heaviest 48 pounds, the same as Dell. Due to the need to install a 360-degree convertible hinge, HP's display bezels are thicker at the top and bottom.
HP uses aluminum throughout, so the lid is sturdy, while the bottom chassis and keyboard panel are very sturdy. The hinges are a bit sturdy and require two hands to open the lid.
The Spectre X360 16 is also a very attractive laptop. HP smoothed the edges of the 2022 model to make it feel more comfortable to hold in your hand. It retains the display and case slots, with a handy Thunderbolt 4 port in one slot and a 35mm audio jack.
The XPS 16 has a sleeker design, while the MacBook Pro 16 enjoys Apple's usual picky elements. The Spectre X360 16 is a little different from the two, but it looks just as good.
Put your laptop in ** mode, the display tilts to you, the keyboard is down, and you'll love watching TV shows and movies. The OLED panel supports High Dynamic Range (HDR)* and is IMAX Enhanced certified, which means it supports special aspect ratios and audio in the supported**.
There are tweeters on both sides of the keyboard, and there are front-facing woofers on the front edge of the case, which output clear midrange and treble as well as good bass premium sound.
Although the Spectre X360 16 is good, it still can't match the MacBook Pro 16. Apple's machine comes with a Mini-LED display that's much brighter than the Spectre's 399 nits, with a standard dynamic range close to 600 nits (SDR) content and HDR's 1,600 nits. In addition, the audio of your MacBook has become louder, and the overall sound is deeper and more complex.
Overall, the OLED display of the Spectre X360 16 has a wide range of colors at 100% SRGB, 96% ADOBERGB, and 100% DCI-P3, but the color accuracy is slightly lower than other deltae of 111 of the OLED panel (1.)0 or lower is very good).
Whether you're a productivity user, creator, or consumer, you'll love the Spectre X360 16's display.
I don't have any complaints about the keyboard other than the color. It offers large keycaps and ample key spacing, making the switch deep, lightweight, and flexible. I might prefer the Magic Keyboard of the MacBook Pro 16, but I don't mind using the Spectre keyboard full-time. I'll wait again to make a judgment on the keyboard of the XPS 16, but its zero-grid layout is ultra-modern.
The Spectre X360 16's touchpad is a huge improvement over the previous generation. Instead of a small mechanical version, the 2024 model features a large haptic touchpad with Sensel technology. In short, it's the best touchpad I've ever used on a Windows laptop.
First of all, it's slightly larger than the MacBook Pro 16, which is the industry standard for excellence and has fast, responsive tactile sensations and gestures across the entire surface.
Connectivity is also strong, with a mix of modern and traditional ports. The only regret, and a big one, is the lack of an SD card reader. The MacBook Pro has an additional Thunderbolt 4 port and a full-size SD card reader, while the XPS 16 is more restrictive with only Thunderbolt 4 and a MicroSD card reader.
16-inch laptops are primarily geared towards creators. For those who benefit the most from fast CPUs and GPUs, the Spectre X360 16 is underpowered. Applications like Adobe Premiere Pro use both to speed up a variety of tasks.
Whereas, MacBook Pro 16 and XPS 16 are better suited for these applications. The Spectre X360 16 has a fairly fast CPU in Intel Core Ultra 7 155H, running at 28 watts, with 16 cores (6 high-performance cores, 8 high-efficiency cores, and 2 low-power efficient cores) and 22 threads.
Gamers will find the Spectre X360 16 to be a decent entry-level 1080p or 1200p console.
In our webview testing the spectre x360 16 lasted 85 hours for the average score; In our ** cycle test, it lasted 14 hours. This is slightly above average.
It's a great 360-degree convertible 2-in-1 device with a sturdy construction, a beautiful OLED display, and a superior keyboard and touchpad. Its performance is very good for everyone except the demanding creators.
As a 16-inch laptop, the Spectre should appeal best to that market – demanding creators – but it's too slow. This makes it an oversized 2-in-1 product that is in an awkward position. As much as I appreciate its high quality, I can't recommend it to my target audience more than a faster option.
