HP Spectre x2 comes with an elegant and functional design. This means that it has a nice keyboard, a sharp screen, and a stylus that turns out to be very useful.
HP did it again. It seems that the company managed to put its signature on the new Spectre x2.
This new model has a lot to offer and it’s a very tough competitor for the famous Microsoft Surface Pro. On the plus side, we must say that the new HP Spectre x2 comes with a solid feel when typing and an incredible 12.3-inch display that features a 3.000 x 2.000-pixel resolution.
Another great thing about this device is that it comes much cheaper. So, yes, the new HP Spectre x2 is great for customers who don’t plan to run some serious creative work on it. Customers will be able to buy this device at the price of 1.300 US dollars. At this price, users will receive a basic configuration that is perfect for all-day tasking.
However, customers should know that there is a more expensive configuration that reaches the 1.650 dollars price tag. For this money, customers will receive a 512GB SSD and 16GB of RAM.
Moreover, this device is powered by a 2.4GHz Intel Core i7-7560U, and a 128MB dedicated Intel HD Graphics 640. As for connectivity, customers will have 802.11ac and Bluetooth 4.2. But, we must say that the biggest attraction here is the screen.
This screen can be attached to a detachable keyboard, which turns out to be a really useful mechanism. This way, customers will have both a tablet and a laptop into the same device. We must say that the keyboard is very responsive, while the touchpad is sensitive and features hand gestures.
As we mentioned, this screen comes with a 3.000 x 2.000-pixel resolution, which means 293 pixels per inch. This is way better than the Surface Pro, which has 267 pixels per inch. HP’s screen is very bright and sharp. Unfortunately, the battery life is not as good as it should be. The company claims that the battery life can go up to 5.8 hours.
This is a really small number, but the good thing is that it supports quick charging via USB-C. We are talking about 50 percent in 30 minutes, which is acceptable. This feature comes really handy when users have a lot to do and need to take the laptop with them.
To be added that the company also worked a little bit on the kickstand. So, the new kickstand has a nice tension and can be pulled with one hand. Moreover, customers will be able to tilt back the kickstand and reach a 165-degree angle with the screen. Moreover, the HP Active Pen is really nice and useful, as well.
Customers who love a rubbery feel to the pen are in the right place. HP’s Active Pen is made out of a rubbery material and it supports 1.024 level of pressure sensitivity. Moreover, customers will be able to make nice drawings with it.
