![]() The version of the HP Spectre x360 we got to see, and the one that’ll probably be most common, has a 13-inch 1080p IPS screen. SEE ALSO: Best Windows 8 Laptops, Tablets and Hybrids It’s roughly twice the width of a standard pad, designed to make multi-touch gestures feel all the more natural, not to mention just providing more space. One part that makes the HP Spectre x360 look a bit, well, odd is the ultra-wide trackpad. It doesn’t stick out from the back of the laptop, letting you forget the feature’s even there until you need it. The HP Spectre x360 hinge’s special skills are completely invisible too. I’m not a huge believer in the idea of turning a laptop into an iPad – no-one wants a tablet with a keyboard on the back – but to prop the thing up to watch a film on a small work surface it makes a lot of sense. It’s a clever geared design that lets it flip smoothly around 360 degrees, letting the screen and keyboard sit back to back. At 1.49kg the HP Spectre x360 is extremely light, but has the feeling of hard density that we like to get in an Ultrabook. What I find much more important – when, let’s face it, it’s not going to challenge Apple on looks – is portability and weight. It’s all-silver, to show off that all-metal style. The design is pretty inoffensive, with few flashy bits to loudly announce how different it is from a MacBook Air. ![]() It’s an HP take on the MacBook Air, and will cost you around £849 when it goes on sale from March 2015 in the UK.Īluminium has become virtually the default material for any laptop that wants to seem high-end or expensive, and the HP is made entirely out of the stuff. Not only does the hinge let the screen flip all the way around for easy propping-up or use when there’s not much room, it’s also very light and has fantastic battery life. The HP Spectre x360 is a slim and light laptop designed for extreme portability.
