Long Battery Life and Good Performance: HP Spectre x360 Review Posted by admin

March 20, 2015

HP Spectre x360 is a sleek aluminum convertible laptop with swift performance, excellent battery life and a rich, full-HD touch screen. HP Spectre x360 starts at a very reasonable $899, which gets you a 2.2-GHz Intel Core i5-5200U processor, 4GB of RAM and a 128GB SSD. You can configure this version with 8GB of RAM ($50), a Core i7-5500U processor ($150), and a 256GB SSD ($50) or 512GB SSD ($200). For the money, I’d recommend the 8GB of RAM and 256GB SSD. On most versions of the x360, HP eschews that trend, opting for a 1080p touch screen, which is plenty sharp and colorful, and most likely helps save battery life. Like cookware, aluminum-clad notebooks tend to absorb heat, and the Spectre x360 is no different. After streaming a Hulu video at full screen for 15 minutes, the touchpad (81 degrees Fahrenheit) and the space between the G and H (86 degrees) were relatively cool. However, the bottom rose to 100 degrees, which is 5 degrees higher than we consider comfortable. HP includes its trio of “Connected” utilities. Connected Music acts as a portal for audio from both local files (such as your iTunes library) and streaming sources such as TuneIn Radio. Connected Drive is a means to view all your photos, videos, documents and music on your notebook PC, tablet, smartphone and cloud services.
