HP Spectre x360: The best just keeps getting better

DESPITE A REVAMP late last year, the dust hasn’t settled around HP’s 13.3-inch Spectre x360 just yet. A modest spring update of our favorite convertible gives it perks that first appeared in its revamped 15-inch sibling.
Yep, that’s right. If you bought a Spectre x360 even a month ago, you may be slightly aggravated to learn that HP now ships it with active pen support. (A pen even comes in the box as an included accessory.) A 4K UHD option for the screen is available, too. With these additions, the x360 now has every major feature you could want from an ultraportable.
The only thing keeping the Spectre x360 from rising even further above its peers is the small price you pay for these upgrades—partially in cold, hard cash, partially in performance. But even without changing its position in the pack, this notebook is still the convertible to beat.
A quick recap
Since there’s so much overlap between the Fall 2016 and Spring 2017 models of the Spectre x360 (), let’s start with an overview of its standout points. (I’ll leave the fuller overview of shared attributes to our previous Spectre/ spectrex360rv.)
