The copper trim looks great, and it serves as an excellent peripheral guide when looking for the trackpad. It's a very smooth, satisfying trackpad with adequate clicking that won't annoy you each time you use it in a quiet room. HP opted for a very spacious layout for the trackpad, which is preferred especially once you enlarge the right-click area under Settings. Still not "Precision" but also not bad HP Spectre x360 15 trackpad I type at a brisk 75 words per minute, and with a proper typing position, the key placement is just fine. If you're sensitive to such changes, however, it may take you some time to adjust. That and you must stretch your pinky to reach the Home key. HP's is double-wide, which is why it's not a problem for me. Lenovo did something similar years ago, and that did bother me because the Backspace key was also regular sized. While I had no issues with this setup when typing, a few friends of mine hit the Home key instead of Backspace repeatedly. That means the Home key is to the right of the Backspace key. HP put the Home-key row to the right of the keyboard, running down vertically. I will, however, raise one possible issue: the Home key. There's no flex on the body when typing on a desk, and it is just a satisfying experience. The Spectre x360 15's keyboard is likely my favorite keyboard on any laptop. HP also ensured that each key feels the same, for consistency. If it's too fast the key pushes your finger, too slow and the key feels stuck. Ideally, the keys bounce back at the same rate as your fingers leave them. HP spent a lot of time on the so-called "force curves" of each key, or how the keys feel when you push them down, as well as on the return. You get the same 1.5mm of key travel, but because the keys are now ash silver you get much better contrast with the backlit chicklet keys. The Spectre x360 15's keyboard is even better than the 13-inch version's keypad. So you'll likely have even more options later this year when that device is released.Ī typing delight HP Spectre x360 15 keyboard

HP also says the Spectre x360 15 will work with the forthcoming N-Trig Universal Pen, which should work on Wacom tablets and all Windows products that use a stylus. I'm not an artist, but I can't say it felt radically different from use on the Surface. Microsoft Surface Pen (top) vs HP Active Pen (bottom)īeing able to flip the Spectre x360 into tablet mode and use the pen, or just use it on the display to navigate, use Stick Notes or draw, is a great option to have. The colors are not overly vibrant, and while the screen is glossy, I didn't find reflections too bothersome. I like this display panel in the Spectre x360 15. The 4K (3840 x 2160) IPS display HP uses in the Spectre x360 15 is a different class than Sharp IGZO display found in Dell's XPS line. The real concerns are impacts on performance and battery life. The argument over the need for 4K displays in laptops won't end anytime soon, but no one can deny that they look great. Overall, while the Spectre x360 15 is one of the heavier 15.6-inch laptops that's not quad-core, its outstanding build quality, machined body, and elegant color choice makes this notebook feel substantial and worth every dollar. I'm not sure how you engineer around that, as the hinge needs to be flexible enough to switch to tent, presentation and tablet modes without much force. To be clear, this doesn't happen when typing in your lap, but it's an apparent side effect of having a large, 15.6-inch touch display with an aluminum chassis. Due to the x360 hinge that lets you turn the device into a tablet, you can shake the laptop until the display slips down on its hinge. My only real gripe with this laptop is a small one. Nonetheless, HP maintains a very distinct look with the Spectre x360 series, and no one will mistake it for a MacBook Pro. It's a dense beast that very much mimics the beautiful qualities of Apple's devices.
The all-metal feel makes it rather heavy at 4.42lbs (2kg), but that just adds to the quality feel.
The HP Spectre x360 15 is made from CNC machined aluminum, and it's outstanding. That's a good thing, too, because HP found, in my opinion, the sweet spot between form and function. The 15-inch Spectre is very similar in design to the 13-inch version, just bigger. 2x USB-C (1x Thunderbolt 3 1x USB-C 3.1)įront-facing HP TrueVision FHD IR webcam with integrated dual-array digital microphonesġ7.78 mm (H) x 355.6 mm (W) x 253.49 mm (D)Īn all-metal beauty HP Spectre x360 design
