HP’s upsized 15-inch Spectre x360—a high quality device built for the mainstream

It's basically a big version of the 13-inch system. (credit: Peter Bright)

If Dell's XPS 13 was the most striking 13-inch laptop to be released last year, HP's Spectre x360 was a close second. While it didn't have the Dell's stylish narrow bezels, it nonetheless offered good looks, great battery life, and one of those fancy hinges that let you fold the screen all the way back. It also had a webcam that was usably placed, unlike the XPS 13, making it a very solid choice.

Just as Dell made a bigger version of the XPS 13, the new XPS 15, so too has HP revisited the Spectre. The 15.6-inch Spectre x360 is a bigger version of the 13-inch device: a sleek, attractive 4.1lb device with the same 360 degree hinge.

While I personally am a huge fan of the 13-inch form factor for its greater portability, 14- and 15-inch systems are the biggest sellers. Many buyers prefer their larger screens and, generally, longer battery life.
