Expert tester comments
HP's Spectre x360 premium tablet-convertible laptop has a different design to most laptops. It's rear corners have been chopped to make them diagonal housings for the power button on one end and a USB-C port on the other end. It's a design that takes some getting used to. Otherwise, its screen is of a very good quality, and the keyboard is very comfortable. Furthermore, its battery life was long, and its screen luminance was high.
