The HP Spectre x360 is well-designed for its overall details. The heat dissipation, interface, keyboard, sound effects, etc. all provide the user with the best possible convenience and are comfortable to use.

HP Spectre x360: Practical companion on the go

â–²The HP Spectre x360 uses a parallel-linked dual-shaft design. The overall flexibility and stability of the shaft is very good.

Thanks to the parallel-linked dual-axis design, the HP Spectre x360 has four modes of use: notebook mode, standing mode, tent mode, and tablet mode. The notebook can also be freely shuttled to the office, living room, or even the kitchen. The mode corresponds to different life scenes, and makes the notebook instantly become a life changing fairy.

â–² notebook mode

As the most traditional mode, the notebook mode is the most basic mode for daily office learning of the user, and it will not introduce too much here. In notebook mode, the HP Spectre x360's island-style keyboard provides a good input experience, while the presence of the 10-point touch screen allows users to tap the screen at any time during operation instead of sliding on the touchpad, compared to traditional notebooks. For the computer, the Windows 10 system + touch screen makes the HP Spectre x360 much easier to operate.

â–² Standing mode

The most classic use scenario of standing mode is to pass the time during a business trip. Compared to the traditional notebook mode, the standing mode is more space-saving and fits the ergonomic structure. Whether it is on the table or the leg, the user can Take a look at the movie and touch-screen games in the most comfortable manner, and feel at ease. In addition, this model is also a very good mode of use on the bedroom bed and living room sofa, providing users with home entertainment facilities.

â–² tent mode

In short, the HP Spectre x360's four modes of use provide more fun for users to work and live, enabling laptops to have multiple functions such as tablets, televisions, and game consoles.

HP Spectre x360: Matching Color Value for Enough Performance

The HP Spectre x360 has a 13.3-inch 1080P Full HD micro-border display and is powered by Intel's new 7th-generation low-voltage processor i5-7200U with 8GB of RAM and 256GB SSD. And Intel's new HD 620 core graphics. Let us look at the actual performance of the machine below.

CPU: i5-7200U

â–² Intel 7th generation processor ID in the lower right corner of the keyboard

â–² We preferred to use the CPU-Z to test the i5-7200U processor. We can see that the processor still kills the i7-4558U.

Next, we use the CineBench R15 version to test the CPU performance of this machine. CineBench is a very convincing set of CPU and graphics test systems, the latest is the R15 version. Compared to up to 16 cores in the R11.5 version, the R15 version can support up to 256 logic cores. In addition, this version also enhances the investigation of shaders, anti-aliasing, shadows, lights, and reflection blurring, as well as CPU performance. The test is more accurate.

We use the CineBench R15 to compare the performance of the i5-7200U processor and the HD 620 core.

Comparing the results from the CPU, the performance of the i5-7200U processor is higher than that of the i7-6500U. This shows that the core architecture performance of the seventh generation kabylake is not as unremarkable as the legend, and the overall processing performance is still very obvious. .

Graphics: HD 620 exceeds GTX 960M

From OpenGL's comparison results, the HD 620 has exceeded the GTX 960M even more. This performance improvement was unimaginable by us and it is also unmatched by the performance of the previous HD 520. The performance of the GTX 960M surpasses that of the entry-level gaming. It is not necessary to use NVDIA's discrete graphics card. It only needs to be verified. This makes Xiaobian have to guess that this is Intel and NVDIA's "joint conspiracy." HD 620, GTX 1050, GTX 1060, GTX 1070, GTX 1080 are the future. It has dominated the mainstream graphics configuration of the PC industry for some time.

Hard Disk: 256G SSD

â–² HP Spectre x360 equipped with a 256G SSD solid state drive, the overall transmission speed is still remarkable.

â–² Finally, we tested the HP Spectre x360's overall performance in the work mode. This mode is closer to the office mode, and the score of 4399 is already very good.

Cooling effect: light and thin in the "refrigerator"

Previously we have learned about the HP Spectre x360's heat vents and air intakes. Next we use the AIDA64 to perform the "baking" test, which is a temperature stress test or a system stability test. AIDA64 is a tool for testing hardware and software system information. It can display detailed information on every aspect of the PC. The AIDA64 not only provides features such as assisting in overclocking, hardware debugging, stress testing, and sensor monitoring, but it also provides a comprehensive assessment of processor, system memory, and disk drive performance.

â–² Before the temperature pressure test

â–² 30 minutes temperature pressure end

We used the AIDA64 to perform a “baking machine test”. This test will bring all the hardware share to 100%. After 30 minutes of testing, we use a thermal imager to test the temperature of the machine. Let's take a look at the machine's Specific heat performance. It is worth mentioning that the default state of the last two hard drives and graphics cards of the test is not checked, but in the actual operation, the heat of the graphics card and hard disk is also very important, so we must remember to check before the actual test. .

â–² thermal imager temperature test distribution results

In the actual test process, we can clearly feel that the left side of the machine cooling outlet air flow is large, the overall cooling effect is more excellent. From the above test results, we can see that the HP Spectre x360 cooling effect is relatively good, the maximum temperature of the whole machine is only 46.5 degrees Celsius, is located in the keyboard just above the left position, and the test will adjust all hardware occupancy to 100%, but in the actual office or game, CPU, graphics cards and other occupancy rate is far less than this, so under normal circumstances the temperature will drop a lot, the heat dissipation effect is naturally more excellent.

Life time: the leader of the thin and light

â–² life is close to 8 hours!

We use the PC mark 8 work environment to test the life of the aircraft, from the above test time point of view, the aircraft lasting working life of nearly 8 hours, and if it is in the home environment, the battery life will be longer. The 8-hour battery life is already powerful enough in today's ultra-thin notebook market.

Evaluation summary: A 360° flip shape with an attitude

As a classic in 360-degree flip-flops, the HP Spectre x360 boasts an exceptional design with an ultra-narrow bezel display and an ultra-lightweight body that differentiates the aircraft from the 360° flipping deformation camp; at the same time, the HP Spectre x360 In terms of heat dissipation, interface, keyboard, sound effects, etc., users are provided with convenience as much as possible, and they are comfortable to use. In terms of performance that most users are concerned about, the HP Spectre x360 does not compress performance due to the pursuit of lightness and thinness. Intel's new generation 7 processor and graphics card laid the foundation for the daily use of the aircraft. In short, if you recently had a need for replacement, the HP Spectre x360 is undoubtedly one of the best candidates.
