HP’s claimed 100% DCI-P3 color-gamut coverage and 400 nits of brightness are evident in what I watched, and the display is even easy on the eyes with the Low Blue Light support. That way-too-dark House of the Dragon episode (if you know, you know) pushes the limits of how much you can see, but that’s not the fault of the x360 16. Add the anti-reflection Corning Gorilla Glass, and there’s little chance of anyone squinting to see small text or dark content. I’m glad it’s a touch screen, too, as the bright, vivid colors and crisp details of the Spectre x360 16’s OLED panel made me reach out a tap on everything I viewed.įrom watching YouTube videos to scrolling through websites, the 91% screen-to-body ratio on the “edge-to-edge” glass display made everything on screen emit clear, super-smooth images.
You can’t go wrong with a 16-inch, UHD+ (3840 x 2400) OLED display with a 16:9 aspect ratio. There’s plenty to work with, but if you’re after even more ports, check out the best docking stations to expand your connectivity needs. I would have also liked to have seen a Gigabit Ethernet port for fast, wired internet connectivity.

Plus, you’re getting Intel Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.0 connectivity, although Wi-Fi 6E would have been a better option. The other side boasts two Thunderbolt 4 ports with USB4 Type-C connectivity (that means 40Gbps transfer speeds, Power Delivery, and DisplayPort 1.4 support), a slot for the power adapter, and even a microSD card reader. On the left, there’s a SuperSpeed USB Type-A port with 10Gbps transfer speeds, an HDMI 2.0b slot, and (thankfully) a 3.5mm headphone/microphone combo jack at the corner. While some ports, like the 3.5mm headphone jack and Thunderbolt 4 port are seemingly placed strangely at the cut corners of the laptop, it surprisingly all looks great when plugged in. HP packed quite a few ports into the Spectre x360 16, and despite being 0.7 inches thin, there’s a high-speed, drop-jaw USB-A port fitted into the side. It has an edge over the Asus ROG Flow X16 (14 x 9.6 x 0.8 inches, 4.63 pounds), but I’d prefer to have this laptop as a device I’d mainly use at home, whether that be working on a desk or streaming content on a kitchen counter while I cook.Īll in all, however, HP crafted a striking 16-inch laptop that will turn heads, even if its 2-in-1 design is a little too cumbersome.
16 F1023DX PRO
Compared to the Huawei MateBook X Pro (12.2 x 8.7 x 0.6 inches, 2.9 pounds), the x360 16 isn’t a notebook that can be simply thrown into a laptop bag. It sports dimensions of 14.09 x 9.6 x 0.7 inches and weighs 4.1 pounds.
16 F1023DX PORTABLE
Regardless of its middling performance improvements, the HP Spectre x360 16 is still one of the best HP laptops to get, and if you prefer a convertible laptop with considerable width, then it’s one of the best 2-in-1 laptops to grab.Īs thin and portable as the x360 16 looks, it isn’t the 2-in-1 laptop that can be manipulated to your needs as easily. The results? Fantastic, but its performance gains still don’t quite match the top-end notebooks we’ve seen this year. But this time, it boasts an Intel Core i7-1260P CPU and a 1TB SSD. Same impeccable design, same triumphant touch display, same booming audio, same everything. Oh, and it even threw in its handy HP Rechargeable Tilt Pen stylus for good measure.Īnd so, I have a fresh HP Spectre x360 16 to review. HP knew it could do better, though, so decided to show me what its latest model could do. It was hardly the Spectre x360 16’s fault, as it was just a little behind on the times. Why? Well, it was sporting an 11th Gen Intel CPU in a world where 12th Gen Intel processors run rampant. I was dazzled by its 16-inch OLED touchscreen, stylishly compact design, great Bang & Olufsen audio, and comfortable keyboard - but I couldn’t say the same about its performance. It was only recently that I reviewed the HP Spectre x360 16, the company’s giant take on the popular Spectre x360 lineup.
