Hewlett-Packard (HP) has delivered many performance and productivity based laptops, especially the HP Spectre series, which is targeted towards everyday office users and graphics designers. HP has been striving to deliver uncompromised performance with its every model update to increase the productivity of day-to-day users.
The company launched its new HP Spectre x360 14, which satisfies the Intel’s Evo platform criteria, a major upgrade.
The HP’s new Spectre x360 14 is powered by the latest 11th Gen Tiger Lake processor. Its anybody’s guess that the laptop sports the latest Thunderbolt 4 port. On top of all this, with Intel’s Xe integrated graphics onboard, users can play some high-end games with medium settings at a decent frame rate. This was, however, not an option previously available for the series.
The device has an aspect ratio of 3:2 for display. At the same time, sporting a 16 percent larger touchpad then its predecessor.
The new laptop is the first Spectre to include a 3:2 aspect ratio display with 20 percent more vertical real estate than the 16:9 screens.
HP calls its new laptop its “most intelligent PC ever”. The device uses Intel’s Dynamic Tuning to avoid battery draining or overheating.
Its AI Noise Removal reportedly eliminates background noise from communication apps like Microsoft Teams and Zoom. The device also has an Auto Color feature that can automatically switch the screen’s color space between DCI-P3, Adobe RGB, and sRGB.
