Expert tester comments
Despite being a little thinner and lighter than other 2-in-1 convertible laptops, HP's Spectre x360 is still a bit too cumbersome to use as a typical tablet. It can be useful for consuming media when you want to get the keyboard out of the way, but it's not ideal for inputting data or creating content, since a stylus is not supplied in the box. Works best as a laptop with a touchscreen that can be used as an extra navigational aid.
