Hot on the heels of 007's latest outing Spectre, we get to play with something that's doesn't have anything to do with the film, but is James Bond-esque in sleekness and performance: the eponymous HP Spectre x360 laptop.
Since everybody's focusing on delivering something that's multi-functional and aesthetically pleasing these days, this machine is beautiful and slim at barely 16mm, and it rotates a full 360 degrees to transform into a tablet. The keys are a pleasure to type with, but that rather uber-wide trackpad seems a bit bizarre; it may get in the way while you're typing at certain angles. Speaking of the keyboard, there's this really weird quirk when you hit the F5 button to shut down the backlight; the light on that button remains on - how glaringly odd. But apparently, as I write, HP was to roll out a BIOS fix for it, as well as for some other issues.
Its 13.3" touchscreen works splendidly, although it would've been better if there were thinner bezels. Since we're working with Windows 8 or 10 here, there are swiping-from-the-edges functions. I noticed, however, that when I try to swipe from an edge, sometimes, it takes me more than once to get, say, the Charms bar out from the right side. Or maybe I haven't wiped my fingers that well.
Firing it up from power-off mode takes an average of five seconds, and it never went past eight. It also almost instantly takes you to your Start screen after logging in, and all this is good, especially when you're in a bit of a hurry.
Some drawbacks here are the fact that it's a bit on the heavy side at around 1.5kg, and it can strain whichever single hand you're holding it with - which makes it a bit inconvenient in certain situations if you use it in tablet mode. Also, it does get a bit warm at the bottom, especially when you fire up a video for quite some time.
