Starting from the black gold version of 20 17, HP Spectre product line has continuously broken through the design on the premise of ensuring thinness. It can be said that every generation of HP Spectre x360 has undergone subversive changes. I just got the latest HP Spectre x360 variant from HP in recent days, and the experience is really amazing.

Yes, this is a perverted book. According to the conventional form, it is a thin and light book. If it is turned over, it can become a 13.3-inch tablet, which is also a tablet with x86 architecture instead of ARM architecture. However, the performance of the two is very different.
Speaking of performance, let's take a brief look at the hardware configuration of this HP Spectre x360 variant with Poseidon blue color matching in my hand.
The HP Spectre x360 variant in my hand is equipped with i7- 1065G7 processor, 5 12GB solid state drive, 16G memory, and adopts AMOLED anti-reflection and anti-glare screen with 4K resolution. Even in sunny outdoor, it can effectively avoid reflective interference and enjoy high-definition image quality.
From the performance point of view, the built-in 10 generation Core CPU processor does optimize the performance and energy consumption of this variant, but for the real audience of this variant, design, details and performance are indispensable.
Let's take a look at the difference between this HP Spectre x360 variant from the appearance and detail design.
appearance design
The new HP Spectre x360 variant seems to want to play some new tricks in many aspects, especially the revolutionary upgrade in appearance. The whole machine is as light as 1.3kg, and the body size is reduced by 13% compared with the previous generation, which is closer to an A4 paper. Different from carrying a computer bag alone or a heavy backpack when going out, users can easily put the HP Spectre x360 variant in a fashionable bag, so that "just leave" is no longer a slogan.
The thickness of the upper and lower borders of HP Spectre x360 variant is only 5.85mm and11.09 mm. Although the fuselage is greatly reduced, the screen ratio has reached 90% leading in the industry, which has opened up a broader field of vision on the screen of 13.3 inches. If you have certain requirements for the screen, you can also choose a 4K AMOLED 13.3-inch display and pass the VESA true black HDR 400 certification. The high contrast ratio of 100000: 1 and δ e can be achieved.
In order not to affect the narrow frame, a 2.2mm small camera is designed at the top, which complements the overall aesthetic feeling.
Tent mode, convenient for shorthand in meetings.
Standing mode, easy to watch when sharing speeches.
As mentioned above, one of the biggest highlights of this notebook is deformation, and it is a 360 screen folding deformation. In addition to our common notebook and tablet forms, there are two forms: tent and standing. When we have a small meeting, we can use the stylus that comes with the HP Spectre x360 variant, and choose a comfortable writing posture according to everyone's habits.
Left: USB and audio interface, 45 chamfer power switch.
Right: card reading slot, electronic entity camera switch, and two lightning 3 interfaces.
From the design point of view, HP Spectre x360 can be said to be the ultimate deformation. It is designed with a power-on key and one of the lightning 33 interfaces with an oblique angle of 45 degrees left and right, and is equipped with audio, USB interfaces and card reading slots commonly used in office.
In particular, HP Spectre x360 variant is equipped with two thunderbolt 3 interfaces that support charging. Compared with the traditional fixed power charging port, replacing the charging port with Thunder 3 not only simplifies a power port, but also reduces the complexity of users looking for a fixed power charging port.
In addition, an electronic entity camera switch is designed on the right side of the fuselage. Today, with more and more attention paid to personal privacy, this is undoubtedly a very intimate and humanized design. Users can physically turn off the camera with a flick, which can prevent hackers from invading the camera to spy on privacy, which is both beautiful and safe.
Press the fingerprint identification module
Speaking of privacy, HP Spectre x360 variant designs fingerprint unlocking. When we need to log in, in order to ensure security, we can log in through fingerprint and face recognition.
Fingerprint identification: You can log in to the system through a push-type fingerprint identification sensor (standard configuration in HP Spectre x360 variant).
Face recognition: Using HP Spectre x360 variant face recognition technology, you can log in to the system through Windows Hello, and you can operate completely empty-handed.
When using it, the author also saw "Bang &；; OLUFSEN ",it is understood that the HP Spectre x360 variant also has two built-in models from B&; O's two independent speakers can give users a wonderful audio-visual experience.
Diamond cutting modeling
Careful, you will find that the HP Spectre x360 variant adopts CNC diamond cutting technology on the all-aluminum fuselage, and the back of the fuselage adopts diamond cutting modeling, which can bring a better feel whether it is used or held.
Numerical control diamond cutting technology
Finally, talk about heat dissipation. I didn't open this variant, but I learned from the official that in order to ensure the heat dissipation efficiency, the keyboard surface of HP Spectre x360 variant increased the air inlet from 2.5mm to 2.8mm；; The area of the D-side air inlet is increased to 34%, which is assisted by double fans and three heat pipes and graphene to ensure effective internal temperature control.
Performance performance
At the beginning, the hardware specifications of HP Spectre x360 variant are briefly introduced, especially the 10th generation Core -i7- 1065G7 processor just released by Intel this year.
Intel i7- 1065G7 processor
The performance is not only improved compared with the low-voltage "U" commonly equipped with thin and light notebooks before, but also the temperature of HP Spectre x360 variant can be adjusted by HP command center software according to users' needs.
After the test, the author chooses the performance mode in HP command center software and compares it with the mode recommended by HP.
The first purpose is to compare the performance differences between the two modes, and the second purpose is to see what level the performance mode can reach and what kind of help it will give users.
R20 in HP Recommended Mode
Looking back at the processor, HP Spectre x360 variant adopts Intel's 10th generation Core i7- 1065G7, with four cores and eight threads. The actual test results of Cinebench R20 under HP's recommended setting #FormatImgID_ 14# are multi-core 1337cb and single-core 454cb, while the test results after starting performance mode are multi-core 1704cb and single-core 456cb.
R20 in performance mode
From the two tests, HP Spectre x360 variant processor performs well under the pressure of multi-core/single-core, and the multi-core improvement is obvious when performance mode is turned on, which shows that when we need to multitask, the processor in performance mode will have better computing performance and will not slow down the process because of insufficient computing power.
Next, we conducted a stress test, and the test results showed that the average core temperature of HP recommended model i7- 1065G7 was 6 1 degree, which was relatively low. At the same time, it can be seen that HP Command Center helps HP Spectre x360 variant to achieve a balance in performance, power consumption and temperature. On the premise of satisfying daily use, the whole machine can maintain relatively low power consumption and temperature under long-term high load, and improve the user experience.
When the performance mode is turned on, the maximum core temperature of i7- 1065G7 reaches 97 degrees. Although the temperature is relatively high, the performance improvement is still obvious.
Left: Recommended Mode Right: Performance Mode
When we compare the running score and monitoring data of PCMark 10 in recommendation mode and performance mode, it is found that not only the score value has improved, but also every office-related test on the monitoring curve is higher than the average. It can be seen that performance mode can effectively help users allocate some software that takes up too much CPU resources and improve the overall performance.
In terms of battery life, the HP Spectre x360 variant is fully loaded with room temperature of 22, with better battery life power mode, Wi-Fi connection and brightness of 150cd/m2. As a result, it takes 8 hours and 25 minutes in the modern office battery life mode of PCMark 10. In practical use, if it is a light office, it can basically meet the regular working hours of one and a half days.
Generally speaking, power consumption is mainly affected by this high-quality 4K screen. Hewlett-Packard official said that if you use FHD low-power screen, the endurance test can be as long as 22 hours.
Summary:
As a small and high-end household product, the overall design of HP Spectre x360 variant is more and more suitable for today's users' requirements for product appearance and quality.
From the appearance, the HP Spectre x360 variant has a very high face value, excellent workmanship and good portability. It is definitely a rare product in the current household book.
In particular, it is equipped with a touch-enabled AMOLED screen, and updated this year's latest Intel i7- 1065G7 10th generation processor, which is deeply optimized in terms of energy consumption and performance.
Of course, the 4K AMOLED anti-reflection and anti-glare screen is optional, but HP has achieved full coverage. Because the post-maintenance of computers is equally important to many professionals, HP has launched the "333" warranty service for this purpose, that is, 3 years of free spare parts support +3 years of free engineer services +3 years of free service+1 year accident damage insurance, which is enough to avoid the worries of users.
