The Spectre line of laptops is HP's premium range of sleek and highly portable computing devices.
Currently, we are talking about HP Spectre x360 13-ap0101tu, which boasts of top-end specifications such as an 8th Gen Core i7 CPU, plenty of RAM and storage, and an interesting feature called Sure View which is said to prevent prying eyes from looking at the content on your screen. The HP Spectre x360 13 doesn't come cheap, and the configuration that we have will set you back by a cool Rs. 1,50,000.
HP has thoughtfully provided a full-sized USB 3.1 Gen2 port on the left.
The 13.3-inch display has a full-HD (1920x1080) resolution with a 120Hz refresh rate and supports 10-finger touch input. The high refresh rate offers a fluid feel when you're dragging anything around on screen and when scrolling through menus. The HP Spectre x360 13 has an IPS panel , so viewing angles are fairly wide and colours have good saturation.
The dual-hinge on the HP Spectre x360 13 gives you plenty of flexibility for how you wish to use this device.
The webcam can shoot full-HD videos and the quality is pretty good, even with not-so-great indoor ambient lighting. The HP Spectre x360 13 also has a physical kill-switch, located on the right side of the laptop, which disables the camera at hardware level.
Audio quality from the four speakers is very good. The volume gets sufficiently high, there's good detail in the mid-range, and vocals are crisp.Audio comes through loud and clear, no matter the orientation of the laptop. The one thing we miss though is having a physical volume rocker and the lack of it on the Spectre x360 13 means we had to fumble around with the on-screen controls.
