The Yoga C930 and 730 have similar keyboards to each other, and they’re fine. The keyboard remains unchanged, retaining the same excellent key travel, comfortable bottoming action, and overall snappiness. The Spectre x360 13 retains the mostly excellent input options of the previous model, with only a few updates. Mostly excellent input, with only the touchpad holding things back Today, this level of connectivity is to be expected on thinner machines - ironically, stepping down to thicker budget notebooks can result in a more robust set of ports. If nothing else, the Spectre x360 shines compared to the single USB-C port found on the Yoga 720 and 12-inch MacBook. Overall, connectivity is relatively meager in terms of the sheer number of ports, but the dual Thunderbolt 3 USB-C connections are high performance and futureproof.

Wireless connectivity includes 2×2 MU-MIMO Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.2. That’s at least one dongle you won’t need on the Spectre x360. The Spectre x360 13’s connectivity is matched well with the Yoga C930 in terms of USB, but outdoes it by including an SD slot. HP also added in a new micro-SD card reader to support the needs of photographers and videographers, and of course the usual 3.5mm audio jack is on hand. Either USB-C port can be used to power the notebook via the included charger. The latter means that the Spectre x360 13 can connect to external GPU enclosures to provide for more powerful gaming options, along with the ability to connect to a greater array of monitors and high-speed peripherals.
These are subtle changes, but the result is a stunning notebook that stands out without being ostentatious - unless you pick the glitzy Pale Rose Gold color scheme.Ĭonnectivity remains similar to the previous model, with a single USB-A 3.1 port and two USB-C ports with Thunderbolt 3 support. Then venting underneath the display has also been streamlined, giving it a futuristic look. Most noticeably, the rear edges have been diamond-cut, providing some angles that catch the light better than the previous model’s rounded edges. While HP’s version doesn’t possess the audio prowess of Lenovo’s version, it’s nevertheless just as smooth and it holds the display just as firmly in the preferred location - in whatever mode, be it clamshell, media, presentation, or tablet.Īesthetically, the Spectre x360 13 also received a bit of a makeover. One area where the Spectre x360 13 does match the Yoga C930 is in the operation of the hinge. The Spectre x360 13 zips through everyday tasks with ease. Did HP bake in enough improvements to keep the machine at the top of the bunch? With the higher configurations, these prices place the Spectre x360 13 in premium notebook territory. When maxed out, the Spectre x360 13 costs $2,130 (on sale for $1,930) for the same CPU, 16GB of RAM, a massive 2TB SSD, a 4K UHD display (3,840 x 2,160 or 331 PPI), HP Tilt pen, and either the Dark Ash Silver or brand-new Pale Rose Gold color scheme. Meanwhile, you can also choose the Core i5-8250U model to save an extra $100. It’s priced at $1,250 (on sale for $1,050), including the more advanced HP Tilt active pen and the Natural Silver color scheme.
