After Dell, Asus, and Lenovo, HP is the latest manufacturer launching new devices designed for Microsoft’s upcoming Windows 11 operating system.
Why it matters: Windows 11 and Office 2021 are set to debut in two weeks, and manufacturers are refreshing their most popular devices with better support for hybrid work and study. HP is no exception, and the company seems to have a Windows 11 PC for every taste and budget. After Dell, Asus, and Lenovo, HP is the latest manufacturer launching new devices designed for Microsoft’s upcoming Windows 11 operating system. The new Spectre x360 2-in-1 laptop is arguably the star of the show, with a large 16-inch,16:10 IPS touchscreen and a 5-megapixel webcam for videoconferencing. The device also supports Windows Hello authentication. HP says the webcam’s higher resolution enables AI-powered face tracking so that you are always centered into the frame during video calls. At the same time, the webcam has a physical privacy shutter and can automatically lock the laptop when you step away. Internals include an 11th-gen Intel Core i7-11390H processor paired with Nvidia’s GeForce RTX 3050 Laptop GPU,16 gigabytes of DDR4 memory, a 512-gigabyte NVMe SSD, and 32 gigabytes of Intel Optane memory.
