HP’s revamped Spectre x360 is slimmer and lighter than ever before

While HP’s first gen Spectre was a high-performing ultraportable that was as powerful as it was slim, their revamped version dubbed the HP Spectre x360 raises the bar just a bit higher by cramming in even more performance into an even slimmer chassis.

The revamped HP Spectre x360 is 13.8mm thin and weighs 1.295kg, making it 13 percent slimmer and 11 percent lighter than its predecessor. The machined aluminium unibody casing is akin to its predecessor, done up in a tasteful gold and matte black finish while incorporating a redesigned hinge that lets you flip the lush 13.3-inch 1080p display about and around like a tablet or deploy the Spectre x360 tent-style as a display.

In terms of hardware, the Spectre x360 is refreshed with two different configurations that differ in terms of what processor it packs. One comes with the new 7th gen Intel Core i5-7200U processor while the higher-end version comes with a higher performing Intel Core i7-7500U processor. Processor aside, both variants of the Spectre x360 come with 8GB RAM, a 256GB PCie M.2 SSD, Intel HD Graphics 620 and run Windows 10. Both variants also have an identical and more powerful 3-cell 57.8W battery that offers 12.5 hours of battery life with fast charge support that juices it to 90% in 90 minutes. On the audio front, the Spectre x360 also comes with beefed up speakers too as it packs two front facing speakers and another two at the bottom for a total of four speakers, all of which are tuned by Bang & Olufsen to kick out some sweet sound.  In terms of connectivity, it sports a pair of USB Type-C ports with Thunderbolt 3 support and a USB Type-A port. The Intel Core i5 version of the Spectre x360 retails for RM4,999 while the i7 version retails for RM5,999 with both available for sale at Harvey Norman and all good retailers nationwide from December onwards.
