Hp spectre x360 13t5/6/2023 Perfectionists will want to be aware of this, but I think most won’t really care. The laptop rests so low to the surface that I almost guarantee the back bottom edge is going to get scratched up over time. Four wide rubber feet are placed here as well and are probably the shortest feet I’ve ever seen. It’s a solid piece of metal with a number of torx screws holding it in place. They still function but they aren’t very practical in laptop use since there are also dedicated keys on the keyboard. Then there is a dedicated volume rocker and a Windows key, which are only there for use when in a non-laptop mode. Someday, I’ll get used to it, but it’s not today… Next to the earphone jack there are two more USB 3.0 ports, HDMI and a mini DisplayPort connection. It’s nearly the same size as the power jack and I’m constantly trying to put my power into the earphone jack and vice versa. It’s hard to notice this with pictures, but after using the laptop for a week, I dislike where they put this jack. HP practically uses the entire right side as well, starting with an earphone/mic combo jack in the back. The Intel sticker is on the other side and can be peeled off. The only branding on the palm rest is the Spectre logo on the lower left. Honestly, this laptop is so thin that it would be hard for your wrists to hit the edges. The outer edges of the laptop look sharp but the edges are slightly broken, just enough to not feel them on your wrists. The trackpad also has a nice chamfer along the edges to highlight its appearance. The keyboard is recessed into the unibody, keeping the keys at a distance from the panel when closed. The palm rest is made from an unibody aluminum shell and looks absolutely stunning. On the bottom half is the keyboard and trackpad. There is also a 2MP webcam centered on the top, along with a microphone. Overall, the bezels are about average sized, with the bottom being the widest. A small logo is centered below the screen. The panel is almost edge to edge glass, with a thin rubber gasket separating it from the metallic edge. On the inside of the lid, the screen is a 13.3-inch IPS touch panel, which will also be covered in the display section below. It’s the same color at least, so it blends in pretty well. Across the top edge is a small strip, most likely plastic, for the antenna. It looks great though, and I’m happy they chose this instead of some sort of backlight glowing design. The text is slightly embossed from the surface, and frankly, I’m not sure what’s holding it on or if it can accidentally come off. Hewlett-Packard’s discreet logo adorns the lid, in similar fashion to their other latest laptops. Actually, the finish is almost identical to that which you would see on a Macbook Pro or Air. Starting from the top, the lid is solid silver in color, and is a smooth, matte finish. Sure the Yoga 3 Pro is lighter, but they are made out of totally different materials. Weighing in at just over 3 lbs, it actually felt a little heavy to me, but I can attribute that to it being so thin and dense. The all-metal unibody was the right choice for this design, and there’s no doubt that this laptop can take a beating and last a long time. When I picked it up out of the box, I was immediately impressed with the build quality on this little machine. The HP Spectre x360 is quite an eye catcher and the pictures online don’t do it justice. 63” (h)Įxtra wide trackpad, 2MP webcam, 6 in 1 card reader, backlit keyboard Wireless AC Intel 7265, Intel Bluetooth 4.0ģx USB 3.0, HDMI, Mini DisplayPort, mic/earphone combo, SD card readerģ24.9mm or 12.8” (w) x 218.4mm or 8.60” (d) x 16.0mm or.

The kickstand made it unique as well, because I could place it practically anywhere in my garage without worrying of scratching the underside. What attracted me to the SP was a lightweight tablet that has a decent keyboard and pen input, allowing it to be a pretty useful laptop replacement as well.
