Is the HP Spectre x360 15T (2019) worth swapping out your MacBook Pro and switching over to Windows 10 for? Read our HP Spectre x360 15T (2019) review to find out for yourself.
The HP Spectre x360 15T (2019) isn’t just HP’s stab at a stunning and powerful high-end laptop; it’s an attempt to rival the MacBook Pro and convert Apple users to Windows 10. And, what a valiant attempt it is, packing impressive specs alongside a high-quality keyboard, responsive trackpad, and an exquisite touch display in an elegant gem-cut design that’s guaranteed to turn heads. Taking what the MacBook Pros do so well – though the 16-inch MacBook Pro has raised the bar a bit – while keeping its price tag more accessible for us mere mortals, the HP Spectre x360 15T (2019) is certainly a compelling and well-rounded package. It’s certainly giving many a few compelling reasons to make the switch. With its awesome specs, beautiful design, and collection of useful features, the HP Spectre x360 15T (2019) this is an excellent laptop even for those already in the Windows world. The HP Spectre x360 15T’s performance is great enough to make its price tag practically a non-factor. However, if you’re in the market for a budget laptop, consider this: the souped up 15-inch configuration we tested for our review will set you back $1,849 (£1,899, AU$4,199). Though with that, you get 1TB SSD storage,16GB of memory (RAM), an 8th Generation Intel Core i7 processor (CPU), a 4K display and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti graphics card. To further put that into perspective, a 15-inch Macbook Pro touting the same processor and amount of RAM, but with a Radeon Pro 560X graphics card, Retina display with True Tone and only 256GB SSD costs an exorbitant $2,399 (about £1,840, AU$3,410). That’s a significant $550 price difference. This souped-up configuration we reviewed is on hand in both the UK (£1,899) and Australian ($3,899) markets. However, the HP Spectre x360 15T (2019)’s entry level models do differ depending on the country. In the UK, there are only two entry level configurations on hand, with the cheaper one – with 8GB RAM and a 512GB SSD – coming in at £1,599. In Australia, the cheapest configuration will set you back AU$3,699 and is a similarly configured model, only with an older quad-core chip, the Intel Core i7-8705G, and a Radeon RX Vega GL graphics card (GPU).
