HP debuted the latest iteration in its Spectre line of workflow-focused PCs titled the 'Spectre x360 13.5.' As the name suggests, this is a 13.5-inch laptop coming in at slightly smaller than the brand's previously-released Spectre x360 14. The Spectre x360 line is known for being foldable and reversible, effectively transforming the computers into tablets when the keyboard and mouse are not needed.
The Spectre x360 13.5 is one of the most powerful laptops with one of the smallest, thinnest shells available. This laptop boasts a 13th-generation Intel Core i7 processor, 16GB of RAM, and 1TB of storage. However, the company may make other RAM and storage configurations available in the future. The company markets this laptop to compete with the likes of the Dell XPS, the Surface Pro, and other laptop-tablet hybrids.
