HP Spectre x2 Leads Refreshed Line of High-End Laptops
 

The Cannes Film Festival is not just about movies, as HP has used the event to debut refreshed Envy and Spectre hardware. The latter, I think, is one of the sexiest laptops on the market today and its successor retains the original's great aesthetics with internal upgrades that include Kaby Lake i5 and i7 processors, a 3,000 x 2,000 resolution panel, two USB Type-C ports, and a 1TB PCIe SSD option. HP has also updated their Envy 13 and 17 laptops for those who want something more traditional. ...Microsoft obviously doesn't mind if OEMs copy its basic designs, and the Spectre x2 is a very Surface Pro-like tablet with a kickstand and multi-angle detachable keyboard. The newly refreshed Spectre x2 simply takes what was best about the original model and makes it better. First up is the migration to seventh-generation Intel Core i5 and i7 processors from the previous generation's low-power Core M processors, which should help improve performance. HP also increased maximum RAM to 16GB and doubled the maximum storage to a 1TB PCIe SSD. Finally, Intel Iris Plus graphics are an option for a bit more performance in productivity tasks. Weight comes in at 2.49 pounds with the keyboard attached, and thickness is 0.52 inches.
