This is a decision that HP tells me was all about power. However, unlike other laptops that come with Intel’s Ice Lake chipsets, HP is opting for Comet Lake CPUs. Following along with other laptop makers, this year’s x360 15 models are going with Intel’s 10th-gen CPUs. The Spectre x360 15 has long been about its processing power, and the 2020 model is no different, but it does look to push things a bit further. Intel Comet Lake, better Nvidia graphics Arif Bacchus/Digital Trends Coming off using my 15-inch Surface Laptop 3 during HP’s briefing, I was quite jealous of how immersive and realistic colors and other items looked on the screen of the Spectre. When I played with my demo unit, the yellows and blacks of the default wallpaper were quite vibrant. We complained previously that the 4K display on last year’s Spectre wasn’t good for content creation, so this looks to change that up.

That includes a 30% wider color gamut for accurate colors, as well as the “HP Display Control” software that has special color space presets. While the brightness will peak at 400 nits, HP says that the Spectre x360 15 with OLED 4K panel shares the same features as the smaller Spectre. It’s the one that I was checked out, and it looks as beautiful as ever. Much like the one on the Spectre x360 13, this one will give you amazing contrast levels, as well as deeper blacks. We will need to test that ourselves later, but any extra battery life is highly appreciated.įinally, there’s the OLED 4K panel. HP promises that the Spectre x360 15 model with a low-power panel can last for up to 17 hours and is claiming the longest battery life in a 15-inch 2-in-1.

With this option, you should expect for the Spectre x360 15 to last longer than before. The lower power 4K panel, meanwhile, is different from the other option as it draws just 2 watts of power. This is similar to what we had when we reviewed last year’s model, with the battery lasting us about 8.5 to 12 hours in most tests. It is a panel that draws 3.5-4 watts of power from the battery inside your device. Don’t worry if that terminology doesn’t immediately ring a bell.Įssentially, the regular 4K panel is one that you will find in ordinary laptops. It ranges from regular 4K, lower power 4K, and OLED 4K. This year’s Spectre x360 15 comes with options for three different 4K panels. It’s a decision that HP tells me it chooses to make because it found users wanted the most performance out of their Spectres.īut HP is not using just your ordinary 4K panel. While last year’s Spectre x360 15 model offered up an option for FHD resolution display, this year, HP is only offering it in 4K displays across the entire lineup. This is something that HP also understands, and I am quite happy about, especially since more content creators are using HP Spectre devices in their lives. We’ve seen this in ThinkPads, and even gaming laptops like the Razer Blade Stealth.

There was a point when Full HD displays (FHD) were the most common resolution in laptops, but that’s slowly shifting more to 4K resolution. 4K displays and improved battery life Arif Bacchus/Digital Trends At a time when everyone favors all USB-C, it’s hard to find this type of connectivity in a machine in 2020, and I appreciate the inclusion of these “legacy” ports. The ports haven’t changed either, still offering two USB-C, full-size HDMI 2.0 port, a USB-A 3.1 port, and a Micro SD card reader. The dual-chamfer, diamond-cut edges that make Spectre so unique are all still here. It really is hard to beat HP’s design aesthetics, down to the signature “Nightfall Black” color with its “Copper Lust” accents. While it still felt a bit thick, HP says that it slimmed the side profile of the device by 17.36 mm. The looks of the Spectre x360 still wowed me.
