In our HP Spectre x360 15t review, the laptop we tested had a 10th Gen Intel Core i7-10750H CPU. Its attractive, stylish design, beautiful 4K display, and comfortable keyboard were some of the things we liked about it. The HP Spectre x360 flaunts the same winning attributes — only with an upgraded CPU.
Given that the HP Spectre x360 we tested juggled just about everything we threw at it without issue, you can expect enhanced performance with the newer Intel chip.
With a weight of 4.2 pounds and dimensions of 14.2 x 8.9 x 0.8 inches, the Spectre x360 15 is lighter and smaller than its predecessor, the 2019 HP Spectre x360 15 (4.6 pounds and 14.2 x 9.8 x 0.8 inches) and Lenovo Yoga C940 (4.4 pounds and 14 x 9.4 x 0.7~0.8 inches).
