I never really understood why anyone would need a computer smaller thinner or
lighter than a razor blade and then I I
got a small procedure to ensure that I wouldn't have any more children and the
doc was all like yo dog you can't lift
anything for a bit so I was all like well hey how about this Spectre X 360
2017 2 in1 from HP and then he was like
okay that looks pretty light
tunnel bear is the simple VPN app that makes it easy to browse privately and
enjoy a more open internet to try tunnel bear for free check out the link in the
video description some notebooks even
ones that I like manage to use premium materials and solid internal hardware
and still feel like a compromise because
at some point a designer figured that that extra millimeter or that cool
looking hidden hinge was worth whatever we were sacrificing not the Spectre X360
2017 I've rarely seen such a marriage of
beautiful design and pragmatism the
machined aluminum chassis is light enough to keep the entire device under 3
lb and 14 mm thick but both the base and
the display hold up shockingly well to my twist test with battery life coming
in well over 4 hours in my usual PC Mark
work test a very strong result and the
core i7 7500u dual core could be cooled
passively but instead we get ventilation intakes along the bottom and a side
exhaust that stayed practically silent under light workloads while still
allowing the processor to stretch its legs to 3.1 GHz under heavy
multi-threaded loads since we're under the hood the rest of the hardware specs
are what what are they exactly well mine
has a 256 gig NVMe SSD 8 gigs of RAM
onboard graphics and a 72% color gamut
whatever that means 1080p multi-touch
IPS display that I would describe as pretty good but the product page for
this thing tries to be everything to everyone and just ends up being really
confusing there's talk of optional 4K displays optional microedge displays
dual or quad speakers why does the
bigger model have only two speakers is that better and then in that case why is
four speakers a a selling point that's even got a sales pitch for NVIDIA
graphics cards with a blurb under it explaining that the 13.3 in is only
available with Intel Iris plus onboard graphics and they manag to get all of
that stuff on there without mentioning
the outstanding mix of IO on the left is
a typea USB 3 port a 3 1 12 mm combo
Jack and a power button that's easy to reach in laptop tablet or anything in
between mode and on the right we've got volume control in the Frack Thunderbolt
3 how did two Thunderbolt 3 ports not
make it into the marketing materials I had to confirm for myself by hooking up
to a razor core that they are actually Thunderbolt 3 and not just fast charging
type c ports with a confusing graphic on them and they are it worked completely
seamlessly out of the box with the core and managed to handle an allight gaming
stress test in Rise of the Tomb Raider
flawlessly and there's more good news some may object to the thicker top and
bottom bezels but this is that function
merged with form thing again the top is
thick because it rocks a decent 1080p webcam with wait for it IR emitters for
Windows hello my favorite feature ever
and the antennas for the 2x two Wii that
performs admirably and the bottom is to
lift the display off the desk a little bit meaning less next strain and give a
little more depth to the product for the bang and Olson speakers that are and you
can quote me on this the best I've heard yet on a thin and light I'm not sure how
they did it but they sound great the
keyboard and trackpad are a couple of mixed bags for me though the feel of
both is outstanding thanks to nice long travel distances with satisfying tactile
feedback on the keys and the glass top for the trackpad but there are some
design choices that I disagree with here the widescreen aspect ratio of the
trackpad is great and both the tracking acceleration algorithm and palm
rejection are topnotch but the click pad
has a very inconsistent feel from the top to the bottom that's hard to forgive
now that Apple Force touch exists as for
the keyboard it's off center seemingly
to make room for dedicated keys for functions that I prefer to have combined
with function arrows anyway and this
misalignment forces your shoulders or your neck out of what back which is kind
of a bummer because aside from that and
the couple of QC issues with my sample
listen to this it's one of my favorite laptop
keyboards to date so conclusion time then at the price this kind of build
quality would have been Unthinkable a
couple of years ago the Spectre X360 2017 proves that two and ones are all
growed up now and you can get a he hell
of an ultra portable computer starting at 900
bucks you know what else you could get for 900 bucks six years of
