The HP is slightly too heavy for ultraportable status at 3.19 pounds, but actually a tad trimmer than the company’s non-convertible HP Pavilion Plus 14 (0.74 by 12.4 by 8.9 inches).
Its archrival, the Lenovo Yoga 9i Gen 8, is barely larger (0.6 by 12.5 by 9.1 inches) and a tad lighter More monochromatic than its brass-accented predecessors, Spectre x360 keeps the signature sleek styling with diagonal-cut rear corners that hold ports (an audio jack at left and a Thunderbolt 4/USB4 port at right). A second USB4 port is nearby on the right side, with a drop-jaw USB Type-A port on the left.
The webcam supports Windows Hello face recognition, joining the fingerprint reader built into the power button to give you two ways to skip typing passwords.
An HP Command Center utility not only provides familiar smart features such as locking the system if you walk away and waking it on return, but lets you pause and resume video play with a wave of your hand and can warn you if you’re logging too much screen time or put your eyes too close to the display.

Battery Life Test Results Compared
We put every laptop we review through a battery test to determine how long it lasts on a full charge because battery life is one of the most important factors to consider when choosing which 2-in-1 laptop to purchase.
Since we must configure all laptops to the identical settings for fair comparisons, these tests do not accurately represent real-world usage patterns. As a result, although the times given below are precise and helpful for comparison, your personal experience with a laptop’s battery life will probably differ.
This is due to the fact that we set the laptop’s display to 150 nits of brightness during our battery test and allow it to continuously browse the web via Wi-Fi until it dies. But when you use your laptop, you’re probably constantly changing the brightness, doing a variety of things while simultaneously viewing a video or listening to music, and generally taxing the system more than it is during our test.
I want to make clear that your experience will differ, even though I stand by our tests and the battery life figures we compare in the chart below!
