Making a statement is what the HP Spectre 360 was all about, a full aluminium body that rotates all the way into a tablet. Inevitably turning heads every time I flip mine open at meetings. Riding on the success HP Malaysia has now introduced the second generation version of the 2 in 1, Spectre x360, a convertible notebook that’s 13% slimmer and 11% lighter from its predecessor with near zero border display.

Among the features improved is the battery power which now lasts up to 15 hours due to optimisation of the new intel processors. Overall design view is similar to 360, just that x360 is 13.8mm thin, over 2mm thinner than the previous generation and is lighter at 1.295kg  compared to 1.45kg. While the previous version had poor sound system this model now includes four speakers instead of two with tuning by Bang & Olufsen.

Features include:

• The new dual fan design optimizes thermals to ensure the device runs cool during demanding activities
• 7th Generation Intel Core i5 or i7 processors
• Options with up to a 256GB PCIe SSD  for fast performance and plenty of space to store high resolution videos and photos
• HP TrueVision FHD Webcam with 12% wider field of view, great for web chats.
• A FHD IR camera supports Windows Hello  Facial Log-In for secure, easy log in without typing a password.
• HP Fast Charge to recharge the batteries to 90 percent capacity in just 90 minutes
• 2 years onsite local warranty

Pricing and Availability

The HP Spectre x360 is expected to be available in Malaysia from December 2016 onwards starting at RM4,999 for Core i5 and RM5999 for i7 inclusive GST.
