HP Spectre x2 review

 

A more dignified Surface Pro competitor

Elegant design ; Laudable performer ; Not a bad price for i7

Finicky trackpad ; Weak battery life ; Some bloatware

The HP Spectre x2 is, no doubt, one of the best Windows tablets ever made. From its hardy performance to its shockingly low starting price for a Intel Core i7 processor, the HP Spectre x2 is a drop-dead beautiful adversary to the Surface Pro, perhaps...

HP Spectre x2 hands-on: A 2-in-1 that gives the Surface Pro 4 a run for its money

 

The HP Spectra x2 is, after an initial bout of scrutiny, a gorgeous device. It will need a lot more testing before we can tell exactly what it's capable of, but it's both an impressive tablet and a decent laptop to boot.

HP Spectre x2 (2017) review: A sleek and stylish 2-in-1 but can it beat the Microsoft Surface Pro?

 

HP's glamourous 2-in-1 takes the fight to the Microsoft Surface Pro but misses the mark in a handful of key areas

Elegant, yet practical design ; Bundled keyboard and stylus pen ; Impressive display

Runs hot under load ; Problematic bundled keyboard ; Mediocre battery life

At £1,500 the HP Spectre x2 does look like a tasty proposition but it misfires in key areas.

HP Spectre x2 review: A Surface clone that's actually a better deal

 

Despite an awkward kickstand, this tablet-first hybrid costs less than Microsoft's version and doesn't force you to buy the keyboard separately.

The HP Spectre x2 has a slim but sturdy design and a stiffer keyboard than Microsoft's similar Surface Pro, plus the keyboard cover is included in the base price. A mobile broadband antenna allows for easy on-the-go data.

The kickstand is hard to operate, the processors are slower than many other premium hybrids, and battery life is merely OK.

HP's slim, attractive Spectre x2 follows the road not taken by Microsoft's Surface Pro, using lower-power processors to keep the price down, as well as packing in the must-have keyboard cover.

HP Spectre X2 review

 

It's like the Surface Pro 4 but cheaper and better looking

Sturdy; Reasonably stable when used on a lap; Good stylus; Comfortable keyboard; Camera-based authentication works well

Ergonomic issues; So-so battery life; Colour accuracy needs improvement; Relatively heavy

Cheaper than a similarly configured Surface Pro 4, but one too many compromises have been made to achieve its low price

HP Spectre X2 review (2017): A more refined Surface clone

 

The latest Spectre X2 offers plenty of refinement over the last model, but HP still needs to fix its battery and touchpad issues.

Gorgeous design ; Keyboard and stylus come in the box ; And the keyboard feels great ; Cheaper than the Surface Pro

Finicky touchpad ; Weak battery life ; Stylus isn’t as useful as the Surface Pen

Overall, the new Spectre X2 brings along some much-needed improvements, but a few issues hold it back from being a must-have. HP seriously has to do something about its battery life, especially now that Microsoft offers twice as much with the Surface...
