Design
As on other recent laptops like the Envy 13t, HP’s design language on the x360 15t is a simple one: sleek and shiny. With its silver, aluminum body, this 2-in-1 looks a bit like a MacBook, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing.
With 1.4mm of travel, the keyboard on the Spectre x360 15t feels shallow, though the 60g of force required to press the keys gives it a clicky feel. That’s better than the Dell Inspiron 15 7000 keyboard’s 1.2mm of travel, which bottomed out too quickly and was hard to type on. With the Spectre x360 15t, I achieved 110 words per minute on the 10fastfingers.com typing test, which is about average for me, with an error rate of 1 percent, which is also usual when I type. –
Not a Macbook or a Lenovo, the world’s thinnest computer is signed by HP . If last year presented its line HP Spectre (an ambitious line design and features that managed to amaze everyone), this year has gone a step further by presenting its new model, a device of just 13.3 inches that becomes in the thinnest computer market.
Elegance and design come together thanks to the collaboration that has kept the company with renowned designers Tord Boontje and Jess Hannah .
