HP Spectre x360 (15-inch): The Gizmodo Review

After spending some time with HP's redesigned 15-inch Spectre x360, it seems to me the company's recipe for clawing its way back into the hearts of the people should have been obvious all along: lots of power and features in an attractive package for less money than the competition. Duh.

AU Editor's Note: The 2017 version of the HP Spectre x360 is set to be launched in Australia in the coming weeks. We'll update this review with its relevant Australian pricing as soon as we know it! — Cam

HP has had a rough few years. The only thing we've really liked from the company recently was its $US200 Windows laptop, which despite being total garbage, was garbage at a price that was impossible to ignore. Meanwhile, the company keeps trying to do weird concepts like the HP Sprout, that scanner PC with no mouse, or last year's "luxurious" Spectre. When it's come time to recommend Windows PCs for regular users, Dell's XPS line is almost always our recommendation, and HP is rarely part of the conversation.

Which is why I'm so impressed with the x360, a very good 15-inch Windows laptop that comes at a very good price.

An amazing price really. The model I reviewed has a 4K screen, Intel Kaby Lake i7500 i7 CPU, 16GB of RAM, Nvidia 940MX discrete graphics, and a 512GB SSD. Those are top-notch guts, but the computer sells for just $US1500 — several hundred dollars less than similar configurations from Dell or Apple. You can even special order a version with a smaller hard drive and less RAM for $US1300, if you've really got to pinch pennies when picking up a high-quality 15-inch laptop.

This isn't a slim laptop. It doesn't feel overly bulky, but it's definitely thicker than an old MacBook Pro or the Dell XPS 15.

More impressive than the price is the fact that the laptop is actually a pleasure to use. The new x360 has a handsome design with a much smaller bezel than last year's model. It's also got an aluminium body that manages to feel svelte despite being a tad thicker than its predecessor. It's gained the extra thickness to pack in a larger battery, which gave me 10 hours of mixed usage at 70-per cent brightness.

You'll notice at this point that I haven't said much about the x360's convertible screen. The "360" part is actually the least interesting feature of the laptop. Sure, you can fold it over and use it with its included pen as a gigantic arse tablet, but in practice, this isn't what makes it worth your money.

The laptop isn't all good, though. I'm annoyed that HP added row of function keys to right side of the keyboard. As a touch typist, I felt myself off by a letter, which was extremely frustrating. The good news is, you'll get used to the extra keys. The bad news is it will take a few days.

The keyboard, is a departure for HP and actually great to type on, except for those extra function keys on the right.

Fortunately, the rest of the laptop experience is very good. I like that the x360 has two USB-C ports, an HDMI port, a regular USB, and an SD card slot, because it means I didn't have to grab an adaptor when I needed to charge my phone. The screen, which works with either your finger or the included pen, is absolutely gorgeous and responsive. The display's colours are bright, and image quality was crisp and clear while playing both Civ VI or watching videos on Netflix. The stylus isn't as good as the experience you'll get on a Surface Pro or Surface Book, because it feels just a little more basic and its internals aren't as advanced, but it was able to keep up with my doodles and handwritten entries with ease.

In fact, the whole computer keeps up with most of my processing demands. I never felt like the laptop was dragging — whether I was running Gizmodo's Photoshop test, or chatting on Skype or tempting fate and leaving two web browsers with dozens of tabs open. This isn't going to be as beefy as a quad-core computer you could buy from Dell or Apple, but you're also paying at least $US300 less, so it might not matter.

Traditionally, going cheaper means sacrificing build and quality, but HP is proving that you can still get a lot of really good computer for a really low prices. If you're looking for a 15-inch laptop that won't break the bank, has a great screen, decent port selection, and costs under $US1500 the HP x360 should definitely be on your list. Find out more at HP Australia.

README:

• The extra function keys on the side of the keyboard is annoying, but the keys themselves feel great
• This isn't a small laptop. It's thicker and longer than the XPS 15 and the 15-inch MacBook Pro with Touch Bar, but it never feels bulky.
• The screen is gorgeous and the touch screen is responsive.
• The discrete graphics are a nice touch, especially at this price, but don't expect to do any serious gaming on this thing.
• In addition to the ports, a USB-C to Ethernet and USB-C to USB-A dongle was included in the box. That's nice.
• Only one of the USB-C ports is backed by Thunderbolt 3, which limits some of the expandability.
• The charger is USB-C. Use the non-Thunderbolt port for max performance for other stuff.

Video & Photo Gallery: GEOTEL Note Smartphone First Impressions & Quick Review

Geotel Note - Stand Out, from inside to outside.  

Note comes with a powerful Mediatek 64bit Quad-core processor, 3GB RAM and 16 GB of internal storage, at a reasonable price around $90, which is the best price among 4G LTE 3GB smartphone at the market right now. 3GB LPDDR3 RAM is the biggest shining point of this mid-range beast, low power DDR3 technology lets it save 17% power than DDR2 and works more efficient by 50%. Too much background apps are no longer the trouble for slowing Android system down. You can play a game while you are downloading or listening a music. It looks like Note is aiming to reach the hearts of gamers and heavy users with the device’s rapid speed and power.

Another spotlight that comes with the design, a new material finishing, that GEOTEL calls as MetalPrint, which makes the phone look so premium from the back sight, and holds together by a metallic painting frame which even looks classy. MetalPrint is a natural beauty inspired by the spirit of star trails, the signature concentric-circle patterning to create the visual effect of metallic, 11 super process has let the back surface reflect uniquely in the light.Being different from other 5.5-inch display, NOTE contains a new technology on its 5.5-inch HD optimized screen, GEOTEL calls it TruView technology. As per GEOTEL, their engineers removed the white back light LED from the original LCD, and chose a blue LED instead, which has much more color range. The test result shows new TruView display increasing 21% color gamut and 50% displaying contrast than the old one. That could be the revolution for the display, that makes NOTE’s display looking more vivid and colorful. Looking around the rest specs of the device, the main camera is a 13 megapixel sensor with an F2.0 aperture. Up front is an 8MP selfie shooter with 84° wide angle lens, that allows you shoot more friends around in just one picture. The battery in the Note is removable and sized at 3200mAh which should be able to make it through one whole day’s usage. For network, 4G-LTE provides you to access internet world by 10x faster, 802.11ac WI-FI is supported unexpectedly on this device. Google Play is pre-installed on the device and there is full access to all of Google’s apps including Gmail, YouTube and Google Keyboard.
