HP Spectre x360 14 (2024): Reviving the 2-in-1 Laptop Magic

HP Spectre x360 14 (2024)

introduction

The concept of convertible, or 2-in-1 PCs, has remained consistent over the past decade: Why purchase a tablet when your laptop can rotate a full 360 degrees, allowing you to use it as a large slate, or as a screen propped up without a keyboard in the way? Most manufacturers have moved on from this idea, but HP is still a strong advocate. While Windows never fully became the tablet-friendly platform Microsoft envisioned, there’s still significant value in having a device that can adapt to your needs.

That was my conclusion two years ago when I reviewed HP’s 16-inch Spectre x360, and now the company has introduced a smaller version, the Spectre x360 14. It boasts Intel’s latest processors with AI-enhancing NPUs (neural processing units), faster Intel Arc graphics, and a stunning 2.8K OLED display. Best of all, it remains functional as a tablet, unlike its larger counterpart.

HP Spectre x360 14

The HP Spectre x360 14 offers everything you’d desire in a 14-inch convertible notebook. It’s speedy and, even if you never plan to rotate its screen, the HP Spectre x360 14 remains an appealing premium laptop. For some, it might also serve as a more traditional alternative to Dell’s new XPS 14, which features an invisible trackpad and a capacitive function row. While that device looks impressive, adjusting to its unconventional features can take some time. The Spectre x360 14, however, is both stylish and familiar to anyone who has used a laptop before. (Its rotating screen takes just 10 seconds to figure out initially, while Dell’s invisible trackpad still confused me hours into testing.)

Design and Hardware

That familiarity might also be seen as a limitation for HP. The Spectre x360 14 includes everything expected in a premium laptop today: a sleek metal body, a stunning screen with ultra-thin bezels, and a generously sized trackpad with haptic feedback. However, it doesn’t look much different from the 13-inch Spectre x360 I reviewed in 2019. It would be refreshing to see HP take some major design risks, but it’s understandable why they stick with a successful design.

With the Spectre x360 14, HP focused on subtle updates. It features a wide 14-inch screen with a 16:10 aspect ratio, compared to the previous model’s 13.5-inch display with a squarish 3:2 ratio. Its trackpad offers customizable haptic feedback and is 19% larger, dominating the palm area. HP retained its excellent keyboard but enlarged the key caps by 12%, making them easier to hit. To streamline functionality, HP combined the power button and fingerprint sensor, and the laptop also supports Windows Hello facial recognition.

The ports remain unchanged. There are two USB-C ports along the right rear (including one on its distinctive cut-off corner), a drop-down USB Type-A port on the left, and a headphone jack on the corner. As usual, it would have been nice to see a built-in card reader, especially for a device aimed at creative professionals.

The Spectre x360 14 may resemble its predecessors, but HP claims it has been significantly revamped internally. It now supports 28-watt Intel Core Ultra CPUs, instead of the previous 14-watt options, and provides 10% more airflow than before. Impressively, these enhancements were achieved without increasing the device’s 17-millimeter height. Weighing in at 3.2 pounds, it’s slightly more portable than the 3.5-pound MacBook Pro 14-inch.

The Spectre’s 9-megapixel webcam is a major upgrade from the previous 5MP version. The new sensor features hardware-enabled low light adjustment through quad-binning, which combines data from four pixels into one. This enables cameras with smaller pixels to capture more light, resulting in a brighter image. During Google Meet and Zoom calls, the webcam produced a sharp image with vibrant colors. It almost resembled a mirrorless camera when I enabled Windows Studio Effects background blur, though it occasionally appeared overexposed in direct sunlight.

Video chats also sounded great through the laptop’s quad-speaker array, which includes two upward-firing tweeters along the keyboard and two woofers at the front. While there’s not much low-end compared to Apple’s MacBook Pro speakers, voices and music are surprisingly clear. The speakers can also get quite loud without distortion, which is impressive for such a slim system.

Although the laptop has an NPU-equipped processor powering features in Paint, ClipChamp, and Windows Studio Effects, the Spectre x360 14 isn’t technically classified as an “AI PC” by Intel and Microsoft. Why? It lacks a dedicated button for Windows Copilot. Personally, I haven’t found that key very useful on the XPS 14 and 16. Triggering Copilot from the taskbar or Windows sidebar is easy enough and doesn’t justify sacrificing a spot on the keyboard.

The HP Spectre x360 14 I evaluated performed similarly to other devices we’ve tested with Intel’s Core Ultra 7 155H chip. It’s rapid and relatively effective, particularly compared to systems from two years ago. My assessment unit, which arrived with 32GB of RAM and a 2TB SSD, was 30 percent quicker in the PCMark 10 benchmark compared to the Spectre x360 16 from 2022 (6,493 points, up from 4,785 points). This year’s Spectre also achieved 78 percent higher in the Cinebench R23 multi-core benchmark, a proof to the improvements Intel has made since its 11th-gen CPUs.

The most apparent upgrade for the Spectre x360 isn’t AI intelligence; it’s Intel’s Arc graphics, which are significantly quicker than Intel’s older integrated graphics. In 3DMark’s TimeSpy Extreme benchmark, it nearly kept pace with NVIDIA’s RTX 3050 in the x360 16 (1,435 points compared to 1,730). That’s remarkable for a machine that’s considerably slimmer and lighter. Indeed, it’s no gaming rig, but I was still able to play Halo Infinite in 1080p at around 30 fps. I’m confident it would manage smaller indie titles just fine.

Thanks to the abundance of RAM and Intel’s Core Ultra chip, my evaluation model handled everything I threw at it without any noticeable deceleration. Throughout a typical workday, I juggle dozens of browser tabs, photo editing applications, YouTube streams, video conversations, Slack, and Evernote. The Spectre x360’s OLED display also made everything look fantastic, even if I was just gazing at words on a news site. It supports a variable refresh rate up to 120Hz, so scrolling through documents and sites was very smooth.

When I first tested a Spectre x360 five years ago, I immediately fell in love with its keyboard. Typing felt incredibly gratifying, thanks to a generous amount of key travel and feedback. It was one of those rare designs that almost felt like it was encouraging me to use it, like a finely tuned violin that’s simply urging you to play. Thankfully, HP didn’t tamper with any of that keyboard magic: The expansive new key caps are even more pleasant to use, and the actual typing experience is as superb as ever.

I have a few gripes about the Spectre x360’s new trackpad though. It’s sleek and precise for swiping, and its haptic feedback is indistinguishable from a trackpad that physically depresses. However, HP’s palm rejection software feels sloppy — occasionally, while typing furiously, my hand would brush the trackpad and shift the cursor to select another window. It occurred frequently enough that it became a creativity flow disruptor. I’m optimistic that this is something HP can resolve with a software update eventually.

As a convertible notebook, the Spectre x360 14 is considerably more practical than the 16-inch model. A gentle tap on the screen is all it takes to rotate it around the keyboard — it transforms into a tablet when fully turned around, or you can halt that process midway and rotate the Spectre for its “tent” mode. The 14-inch x360 excels at being a slate, simply because it’s lighter and easier to hold with one hand (although you’ll probably prefer to prop it on your lap for lengthier sessions).

Turning the screen was also less cumbersome, since the display was notably less wide. I utilized the tent configuration to view YouTube videos in bed, while on the sofa I occasionally folded the keyboard behind the Spectre, so I could utilize it like a large touchscreen with a stand. I value the adaptability of 2-in-1 convertibles more than the bendable OLED screens we’re observing on new machines. It’s more cost-effective to implement, and for my needs, convertibles are simply more practical.

The Spectre x360’s primary drawback is battery life: It endured five hours and ten minutes in the PCMark 10 Modern Office test, whereas the ZenBook 14 OLED persisted for 12 hours and 43 minutes. There’s a trade-off for maintaining its frame so slim, after all. During real-world testing, it typically required recharging around six hours into my workday.

Pricing and the competition.

The Spectre x360 14 presents a solid value proposition for a premium convertible, commencing at $1,450 with an Intel Core Ultra 5 125H, 16GB of RAM, and a 512GB SSD. Currently, that setup has been discounted by $300, making it an even more compelling choice. (Kudos to HP for omitting a paltry 8GB RAM option, which would likely cause headaches for most users.) For $1,900, you can upgrade to a Core Ultra 7 155H chip, 32GB of RAM, and a 2TB SSD.

If you’re in the market for other top-tier convertible laptops, your choices are somewhat restricted. Dell’s XPS 13 2-in-1 is still equipped with older 12th-gen Intel chips, and for more contemporary alternatives, you’ll need to explore the mid-range Inspiron and Latitude series. We’re eagerly awaiting the update of Lenovo’s Yoga lineup to newer Intel chips. Although we haven’t assessed Samsung’s Galaxy Book4 360, it lacks the elegance of HP’s design.

Microsoft’s Surface Laptop Studio 2 is technically a convertible (its screen slides forward instead of flipping around), but it starts at $1,900. At that price point, opting for the x360 14 with its superior hardware would likely be a more advantageous choice over the Surface model with its distinctive screen design.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the HP Spectre x360 14 emerges as a compelling premium convertible option with its powerful performance, excellent keyboard, and versatile design. The keyboard retains its satisfying typing experience, while the trackpad could benefit from improved palm rejection software. As a convertible notebook, the Spectre x360 14’s flexibility shines, offering various modes for different use cases.

Despite its strengths, the Spectre x360 14 does face challenges, particularly in battery life compared to some competitors. However, with a starting price of $1,450 and configurations that offer significant value, it remains a competitive choice in the high-end convertible laptop market.

When considering the competition, options like Dell’s XPS 13 2-in-1 and Microsoft’s Surface Laptop Studio 2 present alternatives with their own strengths and weaknesses. Ultimately, the Spectre x360 14 stands out for its blend of performance, design, and pricing, making it a strong contender for users seeking a premium convertible laptop experience.

ASUS ROG Zephyrus G16 (2024) review: Not just for gamers

ASUS ROG Zephyrus G16 (2024) review

A great display and lots of horsepower make this a great media editing machine too.

ASUS’ latest 14-inch gaming laptop is an incredibly versatile and stylish all-rounder. But for those who want something even beefier, there’s the ROG Zephyrus G16. Not only does it feature a more powerful Intel Core Ultra 9 CPU, it supports up to NVIDIA RTX 4090 graphics cards. That’s not all. Its OLED display refreshes twice as fast at 240Hz and it has surprisingly good speakers as well as a full-size SD card reader for quickly transferring files from a camera. So despite being aimed at gamers, the G16 is better equipped to serve as a portable editing rig, which makes this a great system even for people who don’t care about bunny-hopping and fragging.

Design

The G16’s new all-aluminum chassis is simply fantastic. That’s because in addition to being a touch lighter (about 0.1 pounds) and thinner (about 0.2 inches) than the previous model, it feels even sturdier. For 2024, ASUS ditched the dot matrix display on its lid for a single diagonal slash with white (not RGB) LEDs running down the center, which gives the laptop a much more sophisticated look without becoming boring. It’s like a teenager who grew up and learned to dress properly without losing touch with their gamer roots. On the inside, there’s a backlit keyboard with rainbow lighting (though it’s single-zone and not per-key) flanked by some surprisingly punchy speakers with an absolutely massive touchpad below. All told, it’s a beautifully designed system that looks as good as it feels.

ASUS ROG Zephyrus G16 (2024)

ASUS has also included the right blend of connectivity options. The G16 features two USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A slots, two USB-C ports (one of which supports Thunderbolt 4), HDMI 2.1, a full-size SD card reader and a 3.5mm audio jack. This is the kind of arrangement that lets you travel freely without needing to worry about extra dongles or adapters. Plus, thanks to ASUS’ new Slim Power Jack, you don’t have to hog any other ports while charging. And in a pinch, you can also juice up the G16 via USB-C, albeit at slower speeds (up to around 100 watts) than with the included 240-watt brick.

Display

The G16’s 2.5K (2,560 x 1,600) OLED screen might be the best component here. It’s vivid and supports a huge color gamut (100 percent of DCI-P3), while its 240Hz refresh rate makes it great even for gamers looking to squeeze out every last competitive advantage. Though brightness is just average at around 400 nits in standard definition mode or 450 nits in HDR, I didn’t really have any trouble seeing the screen unless the G16 was in direct sunlight. One last bonus for photo and video editors is that ASUS does include a few calibrated viewing modes in its Armoy Crate app for sRGB, D65 P3 and DCI-P3 so you can more accurately adjust hues or color grade footage.

Performance

The G16’s performance is pretty solid thanks to an Intel Core ultra 9 195H CPU, up to 32GB of RAM, 2TB of storage and NVIDIA RTX 4090 graphics. However, here’s where some trade-offs for the G16’s slim chassis factor in. Compared to similarly-sized rivals like the Razer Blade 16, the G16 features a lower overall TDP (total device power), which means even if they appear to have the same listed components, there’s still a difference in capabilities. For example, on our review unit with an RTX 4080, the amount of power sent to the GPU caps out at 115 watts versus 175 watts for the Razer. The G16’s RAM is also soldered in, so you can’t add more post-purchase.

In Cyberpunk 2077 at 1440p and ultra graphics with ray-tracing on, the G16 hit 68 fps, which is just barely ahead of what we saw from a smaller Razer Blade 14 (66 fps), despite the latter having a lower tier RTX 4070 but with a similar wattage. That said, those figures are more than adequate to keep AAA games running smoothly. And let’s not forget that the Blade 14 model I referenced costs $2,700, which is the same price as our G16 review unit. This makes it an apt comparison even if Razer’s laptop has a smaller footprint.

Battery life

One of the main advantages of a larger system is having extra room for a bigger battery. On PCMark 10’s Open Office rundown test, the G16 lasted 9 hours and 17 minutes versus just 5:12 for the smaller G14. That’s a solid mark considering it’s also better than an XPS 16 (8:31) we reviewed. However, overall longevity depends on your workload, because when I ran the battery test a second time only using the GPU instead of relying on NVIDIA’s Optimus graphic switching feature, that time dropped to just 3:08. That means the system will last all day if you’re using basic productivity app, but for more demanding tasks like gaming or video editing, you’ll want to keep ASUS’ 240-watt power brick close by.

Wrap-up

Just like its smaller sibling, ASUS’ ROG Zephyrus G16 is an almost ideal thin-and-light gaming laptop. It’s got a sleek all-aluminum build, a gorgeous 240Hz OLED display and longer battery life. Granted, it might not be quite as powerful as some of its rivals thanks to lower-wattage components, but it’s still got enough oomph to handle practically anything you can throw at it. And thanks to a full-size SD card reader, it makes for an even better portable editing workstation. But most importantly, with a starting price of $1,750, the G16 is more approachable than many of its high-end (and bulkier) competitors, which makes it a great pick for people who want a larger system that won’t weigh them down.

Surface Pro Copilot+ Review:

Surface Pro Copilot+ Review: The Best Surface Tablet Ever Made, No Thanks to AI

Ironically, though, the Surface Pro’s much-hyped AI features are far less compelling than the one-two punch of speed and solid battery life. At launch, the Surface Pro and other Copilot+ PCs can use the Cocreator in Paint to generate AI images alongside text prompts and doodles. They can also translate over 40 languages into English using Windows 11’s Live Captions feature. The controversial Recall capability, however, is nowhere to be seen (Windows Insiders will be able to test it in the coming weeks, according to Microsoft, but there’s no official public release date yet).

Surface Pro (2024)

The Surface Pro is the fastest and most efficient Microsoft tablet we’ve seen yet, especially when paired with its Flex keyboard. The new OLED screen is wonderful to behold, and its NPU allows for powerful AI features.

  • Snapdragon X Elite and Plus chips are wonderfully fast: The new chips deliver impressive performance and power efficiency, making the Surface Pro a formidable competitor in the tablet market.
  • Solid battery life: The efficient power usage of the Snapdragon X Elite chip ensures that the Surface Pro can last throughout the day on a single charge.
  • Excellent OLED screen option: The vibrant and crisp OLED display elevates the visual experience, making it perfect for both work and entertainment.
  • NPU allows for powerful AI features: The Neural Processing Unit (NPU) enhances the tablet’s AI capabilities, allowing for advanced features like image generation and language translation.
  • Flex keyboard makes it more versatile: The addition of the Flex keyboard transforms the Surface Pro into a more versatile device, suitable for various use cases.

Cons

  • All keyboards sold separately: Despite the benefits of the Flex keyboard, it is an additional purchase, which can be a drawback for those looking for an all-in-one package.
  • Still hard to use in your lap: The tablet’s form factor and design can make it challenging to use comfortably on your lap for extended periods.
  • Gets expensive quickly: With the cost of add-ons like the Flex keyboard and other accessories, the total price of the Surface Pro can add up quickly.

What’s Copilot+ Again?

Announced ahead of its Build developer conference last month, Copilot+ is Microsoft’s latest initiative aimed at generating excitement among consumers and device makers about AI-powered PCs. Similar to Intel’s Evo PCs, Copilot+ systems are required to meet specific minimum specifications:

  • Neural Processing Unit (NPU): Must feature an NPU with at least 40 TOPs (trillions of operations per second) of AI performance.
  • Memory: A minimum of 16GB of RAM.
  • Storage: At least a 256GB SSD.

While Intel and AMD have both promoted the concept of an “AI PC” over the past year, practical applications have been limited, largely revolving around enhancements like Windows Studio Effects for video chats. Copilot+ aims to change that by establishing a higher standard for AI capabilities and performance in consumer PCs.

To power the initial Copilot+ systems, Microsoft is partnering with Qualcomm to optimize Windows 11 for the chip maker’s new Snapdragon X Elite and Plus models. These processors are based on mobile ARM technology, rather than the x86 and x64 chips produced by Intel and AMD. Historically, ARM designs have led to poor performance and software incompatibility on Windows (as seen in our reviews of the Surface Pro 9 5G and Surface Pro X). However, Microsoft asserts that it has finally optimized its OS to work better with the mobile architecture, and its new Prism emulator can run older software far more effectively than previous solutions.

What’s Up with Recall?

Recall is a clear example of Microsoft’s reach exceeding its grasp. It was designed to help you find anything you were doing on your computer through a natural conversation with the Copilot AI assistant. However, Recall continuously takes screenshots of your system, storing them on your hard drive. Researchers quickly found some glaring security gaps: it wasn’t difficult for other accounts to access your Recall data, and it was also vulnerable to remote hackers.

In response to the criticism, Microsoft announced that Recall would become an opt-in feature. They also added that it would only be accessible with biometric Windows Hello authentication and that your database would be encrypted by default.

The lesson for Microsoft (and every other AI-hungry company) is clear: you need to build trust by prioritizing privacy and security before introducing overbearing AI features to your customers. The backlash against Recall highlights how unaware the company was of the low level of trust people had in it.

Hardware: The Surface Pro Remains Impressive

We’ve encountered various issues with the Surface lineup over the years, but the hardware has consistently stood out above typical PC laptops and tablets. This remains true for the new Surface Pro: it’s impressively thin and light, measuring just 9.3 millimeters thick and weighing 1.97 pounds. Its recycled aluminum case gives it a premium feel, and the Surface Pro continues to be one of the most unique-looking devices on the market.

While testing it in public, I noticed plenty of furtive glances and curious faces — people were clearly intrigued by its appearance. (Or perhaps they were just surprised to see one for the first time.)

And when I say familiar, I’m mainly referring to the Surface Pro’s built-in kickstand. It lets you prop up the tablet however you’d like, from a laptop-like angle to a nearly easel-like position when it’s completely opened. While it still gets the job done (and is something the iPad Pro and most other tablets don’t have), it also limits how you can use the Surface Pro. While you could always use it on a table, I’ve grown weary of balancing the metallic kickstand on my legs when working on the couch, hanging out in my backyard, or watching videos in bed.

Microsoft hasn’t updated the Surface Pro’s ports either: You’ve still got the magnetic Surface Connector for power, as well as two USB-C USB 4 connections on the opposite side. Sure, that’s more than you’d get on an iPad Pro, but that device isn’t being marketed as a full-fledged computer. There’s also no wired headphone jack on the Surface Pro, either, even though its case clearly has room for one. I’ve come to understand why some PC makers would rather have thin devices instead of a 3.5mm connection, but that reasoning doesn’t apply at all in this case.

Under the hood, the Surface Pro comes equipped with either the 10-core Snapdragon X Plus chip or the 12-core Snapdragon X Elite. The base $1,000 model comes with 16GB of RAM and a 256GB SSD, but you can upgrade that to a 1TB SSD and up to 32GB of RAM. Microsoft also made the Surface Pro’s SSD easily accessible under the kickstand, so it’s a cinch to upgrade storage on your own down the line. (I’d still like to see an SD or microSD card slot, though.)

The Surface Slim Pen 2 ($130) remains the go-to stylus for Microsoft’s tablets, and it’s still a great device for doodling or jotting down notes. I don’t think it’s nearly as essential to the Surface experience as Microsoft used to claim, but for some users it can be helpful. It’s well-balanced and easy to hold, and it charges easily as long as you get a keyboard with a Slim Pen slot.

Keyboard sold separately, as usual

Since the Surface is just a tablet, Microsoft doesn’t offer any of its keyboards in the box. So if you’re considering the Surface Pro, be sure to set aside at least $140 for the Pro Keyboard. If you’re interested in the Surface Slim Pen ($130 on its own), you can also get it bundled with the Surface Pro keyboard for $280. The new Surface Flex keyboard – which can still work when it’s detached from the tablet – is a whopping $350, or $450 together with the Slim Pen 2. That’s a hard price to stomach, admittedly, but I’ll explain later why the Flex may be worth it.

If you’re interested in the Surface Slim Pen ($130 on its own), you can also get it bundled with the Surface Pro keyboard for $280. The new Surface Flex keyboard – which can still work when it’s detached from the tablet – is a whopping $350, or $450 together with the Slim Pen 2. That’s a hard price to stomach, admittedly, but I’ll explain later why the Flex may be worth it.

Display: Finally, a glorious OLED

The PixelSense screens on all of Microsoft’s Surface PCs have always impressed us – but in the end, they were just finely polished LCDs. The Surface Pro marks the first time Microsoft has offered OLED, which delivers better contrast, bolder colors and inky dark blacks. You’ll have to pay at least $1,500 to get the OLED screen, but in my testing it’s well worth the premium, since it makes everything on the Surface Pro look incredible

The benefits of OLED were particularly noticeable when I watched The Acolyte, a Star Wars show that features plenty of bright colors alongside dark backgrounds. I’ll never stop being impressed by seeing truly pitch black scenes on OLED – on an LCD, they typically look more dark gray due to their backlights. The new display tech also impressed me while I was streaming Forza Horizon 5 or simply browsing websites, since it made text a bit easier to read and also made colors pop off the screen. The downside of living with OLED? It will quickly make every LCD in your life seem woefully outdated.

Performance: Shockingly fast

It’s not too often that I’m genuinely shocked while testing a device – chalk that up to writing about technology for 15 years and working in IT for eight years. But I’ll admit, I was blown away by the Surface Pro the instant I started using it. As soon as I opened it up, it was ready to set up Windows and get to work. I didn’t notice any of the usual slowdown or app incompatibilities I previously encountered on Arm-based Surfaces. Everything simply felt zippy. It was the same feeling I got when testing the M-series MacBooks: The Surface Pro is so fast and responsive I forgot it was using a mobile processor.

Then I started running benchmarks, and I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. Our review unit with the Snapdragon X Elite scored 12,615 points in PCMark 10 — the highest we’ve ever seen on a laptop. In comparison, the next fastest PCMark 10 result we saw this year was the Framework Laptop 16, which reached 8,129 points with its beefy Ryzen 7840HS chip. The Surface Pro was also more than twice as fast as the Surface Pro 10 for Business (now it’s clear why Microsoft didn’t want to push that model on consumers).

Now benchmarks aren’t everything, but the Surface Pro’s PCMark 10 score mirrored everything I was seeing during my usual workflow, which involves running dozens of tabs across Chrome and Edge, sending notes in Slack, editing images in Photoshop Elements 2022 and writing in Evernote. Most of the apps I used, including Slack, Spotify and Chrome, ran natively on the Surface Pro’s Arm chip, but I didn’t notice any hiccups on emulated apps like Evernote and Photoshop Elements.
