This slight refresh of the sleek Spectre x360 looks like a nice upgrade to us.
Why you can trust Pocket-lint
(Pocket-lint) – HP’s top-line Spectre laptops have been super choices for a good few years now, with high-quality designs, lovely displays and specs that can power work and a fair amount of play. That looks set to continue with the newly-launched 2022 model of the x360. Best laptop: Top budget and premium notebooks for professionals, students and casual users
It’s a gorgeous little laptop that looks set to continue HP’s sterling work with some nice additional touches to build on the excellent 2021 model. We got some hands-on time at a preview event and have been impressed by what we saw. Our quick take
The Spectre line has never been HP’s attempt at entry level laptops, so it’s no surprise that the 2022 Spectre x360 lineup isn’t going to come too cheap, but that doesn’t mean it’s a bad deal. You’ll be getting an absolutely gorgeous laptop for your money, with a sleek and professional design that’s got some unique touches. The keyboard’s great, the display is simply luscious (and its touch-screen options are fabulous too) while HP’s made some very welcome upgrades in the now all-important webcam department. If other laptop makers can match its camera-masking solution we’ll be living in an easier world, that’s for sure. For now, it looks likely to be another hit. HP Spectre x360 13.5 (2022)

A 13.5-inch laptop can increasingly feel like the default size for most workers who need to be able to both sit and work on a machine for a few hours and slip it into a backpack or bag to take it on a commute or work trip at any point.
