HP Spectre x360 13t (2019) Review: Price, Competition, and What You Need to Know

When it comes to premium consumer laptops with a touch-enabled display and a 360-degree rotating hinge, HP's Spectre x360 line has long been at the forefront of innovation. With its latest model, the Spectre x360 13t (2019), HP is doing everything in its power to make 2-in-1 laptops more desirable than ever.

The new Lenovo Yoga C930, a gorgeous 2-in-1 with a Dolby Atmos soundbar built into its rotating hinge, has just been released for £1,300. That's not a bad price, especially considering the base-spec model isn't much cheaper at £1,200. So how does the HP Spectre x360 13t (2019) compare in terms of pricing and competition?

The answer is that it costs a hefty £1,400 for the base model described above. But there are more expensive options available too, with 4K models packing up to 16GB of RAM and an up to 1TB PCIe SSD. And if you're willing to splurge, HP has even thrown in a rechargeable Active Pen stylus to sweeten the deal.

My review unit features a 1,920 x 1,080 (Full HD) display resolution and an 8th-gen Intel Core i7-8565U processor, plus 8GB of RAM and a 512GB PCIe SSD. As you'd expect, it's technologically superior to all the Spectre x360 models that have come before it.

The HP Spectre x360 13t (2019) is a premium consumer laptop with a 13.3in touch-enabled display and a 360-degree rotating hinge. And with its built-in Sure View privacy screen technology, you can rest assured that your data is safe from prying eyes.

But what sets the Spectre x360 13t apart from other laptops? For one thing, it's undergone some notable design changes this year, making it more desirable than ever. And with devices like the 12.9in Apple iPad Pro and Microsoft Surface Pro 6 becoming increasingly popular, the gap between 2-in-1 laptops and tablet-laptop hybrids is steadily closing.

In short, if you're in the market for a premium consumer laptop with a touch-enabled display and a rotating hinge, the HP Spectre x360 13t (2019) is definitely worth considering. But before making your decision, be sure to weigh up the pros and cons of this latest model against its competitors.
