![]() That’s hardly dim, but not as bright as the best IPS laptop displays. The display reaches 352 nits in SDR (up to 428 nits in HDR). The display has a weakness it shares with other OLED laptops, which is brightness. ![]() In short, the Spectre x360 16 provides a lot of display real estate. As a result, the screen is only an inch more narrow and actually a hair taller than a typical 17-inch laptop display with a 16:9 aspect ratio. The touchscreen’s superb 3,840 x 2,400 resolution is due to its 16:10 aspect ratio. It’s a great display for both photography and video editing because it has the resolution and color performance to handle large video and image files. The display looks deep, rich, and vivid, especially when fed high-resolution 4K video. It’s not affordable, to be sure, but you’ll pay more for a Microsoft Surface Laptop Studio.Īll of this translates to a fantastic experience in most situations. This makes my review model’s $2,119.99 MSRP (currently $1,929.99 on HP.com) more tolerable. The optional OLED touchscreen’s resolution goes beyond 4K. There’s also a 1080p webcam, a fingerprint reader, and an IR camera. It also has two Thunderbolt 4 / USB-C 4 ports with Power Delivery and DisplayPort. This laptop supports not only Wi-Fi 6, which is common, but also Bluetooth 5.2, which is harder to find. There’s a few key details worth mentioning. Biometrics: Fingerprint reader, IR camera. ![]() Connectivity: 2x Thunderbolt 4 / USB 4 Type-C (with DisplayPort Alt Mode, Power Delivery), 1x USB Type-A, 1x HDMI, 1x 3.5mm combo audio, 1x barrel-plug power jack.Storage: 1TB PCIe NVMe solid state drive.Display: 16-inch 3,840 x 2,400 OLED touchscreen.I suspect many shoppers considering this machine will cross-shop it with laptops like the Dell XPS 15, but if you want a 2-in-1, you have less choice. Many 16-inch Windows laptops pack an Intel Core i7 processor with Nvidia discrete graphics. The HP Spectre x360 16 is more unique than it seems. However, it just falls behind the power of a 12-gen processor. With its 1080p webcam and connectivity options, it’s going to be a good pick for the right person. It’s important to note that it’s not a bad machine. It’s a solid 2-in-1 with an excellent screen and a long list of features, but its outdated 11th-gen Core processor holds it back. The company’s new 12th-generation Core processors, which have significantly more cores than prior models, are set to deliver big gains in multi-core processor performance. However, HP’s Spectre x360 16 is on the wrong side of this trend. If not, I fear we will be stuck with poor TouchPad performance since all newer drivers expect precision hardware and for the settings to be managed by Windows.The HP Spectre x360 16 packs an amazing optional OLED display and a long list of features, but its perks are undercut by disappointing processor performance.Ģ022 is a key year for Intel’s processor line-up. I'm hoping you can tell me if HP will roll-out precision TouchPad support for older (non-gem cut) Spectre x360 models as it has for more recent models. There is therefore no way to adjust the TouchPad settings with this driver. Thus the TouchPad settings do not appear in Windows Settings as they are supposed to. It seems Windows Update believes the TouchPad to be a precision device and is attempting to install a precision driver (19.5.35.47) even though the BIOS does not have precision support at this point. the Synaptics Control Panel App), making it impossible to tune of the performance settings to some reasonable level. In addition the newer 19.5.35.47 driver lacks the ClickPad tab under mouse settings (a.k.a. ![]() The latter driver corresponds to softpak sp98930.īoth driver versions have poor performance and precision following the Windows v1909 upgrade. If I install that driver, Windows will update it automatically to version 19.5.35.47 on a subsequent reboot. The link you have provided (sp92533) is for version 19.5.10.75 of the Synaptics TouchPad driver.
