What most people will notice first, of course, is the Spectre x360 14 design, which is incredible. And with the Spectre x360 14, it has hit a new high, with a 90.33 percent screen-to-body ratio. But one more point: In addition to adding 13 percent more usable on-screen real estate in the vertical, HP has also continued its work to reduce the size of the display bezels on all sides. I know, I need to stop talking about the display.

The review unit has the stock Full HD panel at 400 nits, which is still fantastic and what I’d choose were I spending my own money. It can be had in various Full HD (1920 x 1280) variants-one with 400 nits of brightness and one with 1000 nits and HP’s vaunted Sure View Reflect privacy technology-or in what I assume is an incredible 3000 x 2000 OLED panel. That said, it’s also not really a 14-inch display, though I get why HP went with this naming scheme: Like the Surface Laptop and Surface Book, the Spectre x360 14 utilizes a 13.5-inch display panel. The most recent Spectre x360 13 models are, if anything, a tad too small, while the Spectre x360 15 remains gargantuan despite ongoing refinements. But unlike those stablemates, the Spectre x360 14 is right-sized, in a Goldilocks-like way.

Like its 13.3- and 15-inch stablemates, the Spectre x360 14 is a classy premium PC with an incredibly versatile convertible design. But as Mary Jo discovered when she purchased a Surface Laptop 3 about a year ago, the 3:2 aspect ratio may seem odd at first since 16:9 is so common, but then you get used it, and then you wonder how you lived without it.)Īnyway, the Spectre x360 14 is a cause for celebration, regardless of your stance or apathy on the 3:2 aspect ratio issue. Everyone has their preferences, and I respect that. That some people even prefer 16:9 displays … for some reason. And yes, I know that some of you will disagree with my stance on this issue. So there’s my biggest PC pet peeve aired for everyone to enjoy. And collectively, there’s an understanding that even 16:10 displays are a step in the right direction and away from the 16:9 displays that inexcusably still dominate despite them being optimized for entertainment, not productivity. HP hasn’t so much pushed back against this idea as it has pragmatically argued over the years that 3:2 display panels are still rare and expensive. I have been waiting for this day for years: With the new Spectre x360 14, HP has finally embraced 3:2 displays in one of its very best products.Īnd I mean that literally: Every time I huddle with my friends at HP, I bring up the need for 3:2 displays in productivity-focused PCs, especially those that support multitouch (which is pretty much all of them now), smartpens (many of them), and convertible designs (which, for HP, is a huge segment of their lineup, and a real differentiator).
