![]() ![]() Many OEMs, including Dell with the new XPS 15 2-in-1, have incorporated power/fingerprint-reader combo buttons to avoid using space on the palm rests for the finger sensor and to make Windows biometric login faster and easier. Also adorning the right edge is the volume rocker and a sliver of a fingerprint reader, which is peculiarly separate from the power button on the left edge. If you've used last year's model or any other 15-inch convertible, those minute changes in size and weight will probably go unnoticed.īut the wider portions of the machine's edges make use of the space by including a solid array of ports: two Thunderbolt 3 ports and a full-size HDMI port on the right side, as well as a power port, one USB-A port, an SD card reader, and an audio combo jack on the left side. Subtle improvements like these make using the Spectre x360 15 pleasantly different from using its predecessor, despite the lack of any notable skeletal changes. To accommodate improved thermals and upgraded processor and graphics options, the new Spectre 15 x360 is about 1.67mm thicker than the previous model, as well as a bit heavier (4.5 pounds instead of 4.4 pounds).

This makes for smoother movement and increased longevity. The geared hinges stick out when compared to the previous model's hinges-not only do they gleam with their all-copper finish, but their internal gears mesh together when you open and close the machine's lid. ![]() Its edges are narrower and sharper than before, its CNC aluminum body has that sleek dark-ash finish with copper accents along its edges, hinges, and lid, and its speaker grilles have been moved to the top of the keyboard to allow more space for the new numeric pad on the right side. If you're familiar with the updates the company dished out to its Spectre line in the past few months, you'll recognize the changes in the new Spectre x360 15. HP's newest big two-in-one is a leaner-looking version of last year's model. With a standard 4K display, claimed 13-hours of battery life, and an optional upgrade to an Intel hexa-core processor and Radeon RX Vega M graphics, the new Spectre x360 15 could be the two-in-one to get for creatives, media lovers, and workaholics who crave powerful, well-rounded performance in addition to portability and style. Those improvements alone should make the new Spectre x360 15 an improvement over its predecessor, but HP also made other small changes to up the convertible's game. The company updated that device this year and fixed our biggest problem with an otherwise solid two-in-one: the new model features a quad-core Intel CPU and Nvidia's MX150 graphics chip. Last year, HP introduced its Spectre x360 15, a high-end convertible made for artists, creative professionals, and the like. However, portability is just one benefit that laptops and convertibles have. ![]() Valentina Palladino reader comments 52 withĪ 15-inch laptop will rarely top anyone's list of the most comfortably portable PCs out there. ![]()
