What it can't do is run the latest games at high frame rates or execute real-time 3D rendering. Relying on Intel Iris Xe graphics, the Spectre x360 13 can play less intensive games, stream 8K videos or export 4K files. It gets nowhere near as fast as the storage drives in the Spectre x360 14 (764 MBps), XPS 13 (806.2 MBps) or the category average (820.6 MBps). The 512GB M.2 NVMe SSD in our review unit took 59 seconds to duplicate a 25GB multimedia file equating to a transfer rate of 452.6 megabytes per second. The Spectre was even up to the task of editing photos for this review in Affinity Photo.
#HP X360 REVIEW 1080P#
I fired up four 1080p YouTube videos, played Dayglow's album on YouTube Music, and streamed First Take on ESPN, without any problems. HP Spectre x360 13 performanceĮquipped with an Intel Core i7-1165G7 and 16GB of RAM, the Spectre x360 13 has enough muscle to run demanding workloads including my usual gauntlet consisting of 30 Microsoft Edge tabs, many running processes in the background. It's worth noting that the Spectre x360 14 has a quad-speaker setup capable of more sonic oomph than what you get with this 13-inch model. They sound fine, with a decent punch on the low end but the midrange lacks depth, making my alternative and indie playlists sound flat. Not even the Spectre x360's dual bottom-firing speakers could prevent me from rocking my head to Dayglow's groovy retro jam "Close To You." But let's be clear, these aren't the best-sounding speakers, even with luxury audio brand Bang & Olufsen doing the tuning.
