Unleashing the Power of HP Spectre: A Comprehensive Review

HP's premium lineup is back with the new HP Specter x360. A 2-in-1 laptop that not only fits your needs, but helps preserve our planet. HP has been focusing more and more on the sustainability of its computers, and the new Specter x360 maintains that spirit without sacrificing its capabilities, promising to be a machine capable of adapting to the needs of your day to day.

Recycled

The new HP Specter x360 is designed from the ground up to help protect our planet; to do that, HP starts by collecting plastics from the oceans or non-recycling destinations, and uses them to help build this notebook. What's more, the packaging itself is also designed to reduce its environmental impact by removing unnecessary plastic, replacing it with recycled paper and recyclable fibers to help protect your laptop during transport to stores and home.

Sustainable

The HP Specter x360 also comes with EPEAT Gold certification, which certifies devices that go further in their commitment to sustainability, analyzing factors such as the materials used, management of production-related waste, energy consumption, lifespan of the product, among others.

Gold Ratings

The Gold rating represents the highest level of certification, meaning this laptop meets not only minimum sustainability requirements, but also a host of optional criteria. What's more, ENERGY STAR certification means the notebook also helps save energy, whether in use or at rest.

Finally, HP participates in recycling programs that will breathe new life into your products when they have passed their useful life in their current form. Several of the materials used in this notebook will bring other devices to life later on. It is a commitment at all levels to ensure that our planet has a future.

MOBILITY AND POWER IN ONE

The new Specter x360 is a great choice wherever you are. HP has equipped the new notebook with Intel's 11th generation processors, specifically the Core i7-1165G7. This processor has four processing cores that can reach frequencies of up to 4.7GHz thanks to Intel Turbo Boost technology.

The great novelty of these new processors is the Iris Xe Graphics graphics card, which is integrated into the processor itself. This new graphics card promises twice the performance of graphics cards in Intel's previous generation of processors, without sacrificing the computer's portability. So, in addition to productivity, the new Specter x360 also lets you take a break and spend some time enjoying more demanding games.

Mobile Option

And for that, you don't have to sacrifice your mobility. The Specter x360 only weighs 1.27 kg, so you won't have any problems if you want to take it with you to school or work. And you can walk with it all day without worries, as the battery promises to last up to 16 and a half hours on a single charge. When you need more battery, you still have HP fast charging, which charges the battery up to 50% in just 30 minutes.

Another great novelty of these processors is the Thunderbolt 4 technology, which offers up to 40Gbps and data transfer speed, in addition to allowing the laptop to be charged through the USB Type-C port. With this feature, you can connect a hub that allows you to use two external 4K monitors via a single USB port, in addition to other USB devices.

A PORTABLE OPTION THAT FITS YOU

Versatility is also a strength of the new HP Specter x360, which comes in a 2-in-1 format, that is, you can use it as a normal laptop or as a tablet. As the laptop's name implies, the hinge can rotate 360 degrees, so you can adjust the posture as you like. Are you working on a document or playing a game? Use it like a regular laptop. Do you just want to browse the internet, check your social media or read an article? Fold the keyboard behind the screen and use the touchscreen to navigate. This type of design gives you a freedom you don't find in a traditional laptop.

Backlit Keyboard

When using it like a regular PC, the HP Specter x360 gives you a backlit keyboard, with 1.5mm key travel. If you're a little confused by that, key travel is the distance each key travels vertically before hitting the lower membrane, where the click is registered by the computer. With 1.5 mm of distance, you have a level that allows you to type more comfortably, as you won't feel like you're hitting the bottom of the keyboard so hard. The touchpad features HP ImagePad technology, with multiple gestures that let you perform quick actions with two, three, or four fingers.

As for the screen, we have a 13.3-inch Full HD panel with a thin frame on top and on both sides of the screen, resulting in a screen-to-chassis ratio of 90%. The screen also offers true-to-life colors with 100% sRGB color gamut coverage. To make movies and music more immersive, there are two stereo speakers enhanced by Bang & Olufsen and HP Audio Boost technology.

SECURITY, PRIVACY AND CONVENIENCE

The Specter x360 gives you up to 1TB of storage on its SSD drives, so you'll have plenty of room for documents, music, movies, and even some games. Furthermore, SSD technology in PCIe NVMe format offers very high speeds, so those files open quickly and you don't have to wait for the computer.

To keep your data safe, HP includes 3D DriveGuard technology, which locks the drive when it detects drops and hard impacts, preventing data from being corrupted due to accidents. And to protect your files from prying eyes, the Specter x360 offers facial recognition with Windows Hello and an infrared camera, as well as a fingerprint sensor if you prefer to unlock your computer that way. Whichever option you prefer, you can protect your computer from strangers (or the most inquisitive kids) without having to type in a password every time you want to use it.

And if you're concerned about your privacy, HP has you covered too. You no longer need to stick a sticky note over the camera because HP includes a button that lets you physically cover up the Specter x360's camera to make sure no one is watching. And you can also turn off the microphone if you are afraid that they might be listening to you.

The Specter x360 from HP is a 2-in-1 laptop that won't let you down, with all the versatility, security, and power you need for everyday life, whether you're studying or need a computer for work.
