HP Spectre x360 15 2020 review: Smaller, yet it more powerful ? you can't believe

 

        “The Spectre x360 15 packs a lot of power and a beautiful display into a more diminutive chassis.” Tiny for a 15-inch 2-in-1 Spectacular good looks Excellent keyboard Solid productivity performance Excellent OLED display Modest performance in creative apps Poor battery life MSRP $1,400.00 BUY FOR $1,400 AT HP The 2020 HP Spectre x360 15 is a 360-degree convertible 2-in-1 that is considerably smaller than its predecessor, but still has the option for reasonably powerful components and a lovely OLED display. I reviewed the high-end model with a 10th-generation six-core Intel Core i7-10750H CPU, 16GB of RAM, a 1TB solid-state drive (SSD), an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1650 Ti Max-Q, and a 4K OLED display. This configuration comes in at $1,850 at HP.com and is intended for creative professionals who want the power of a 15-inch laptop with the flexibility of a 2-in-1. Let’s dig in. Design HP put the Spectre x360 13 under a scalpel in 2019, trimming off the fat and producing a truly diminutive 2-in-1 with a 90% screen-to-body ratio thanks to tiny bezels. Earlier this year, HP did the same with the 2019 Spectre x360 15, making for a much less unwieldy 15-inch 2-in-1. It also enjoys a 90% screen-to-body ratio, and it’s noticeably smaller than its predecessor. It looks far more modern, and it retains the gem-cut aesthetic that makes the Spectre line one of the best looking and most distinctive you’ll find.
