Who Is This For?
The Spectre x360 14 targets users who want a premium convertible that does double duty:
- Students and note-takers — the included pen and tablet mode make it a digital notebook
- Media consumers — the OLED display is stunning for Netflix, YouTube, and photo browsing
- Creative professionals — photo editing in Lightroom and illustration in Procreate-style apps
If you need serious GPU power for video editing or 3D work, this isn’t it. Look at the Dell XPS 16 or a creator laptop instead.
Display
The 2.8K (2880x1800) OLED panel is gorgeous:
- Perfect blacks with infinite contrast ratio
- 100% DCI-P3 color gamut for accurate color work
- 120Hz smooth scrolling
- Touch + pen input with 4096 pressure levels
The aspect ratio is 16:10, giving you extra vertical space for documents and web browsing.
Pen Experience
HP includes the MPP 2.0 rechargeable pen in the box — a big deal when competitors charge $100+ for theirs. The pen magnetically attaches to the side for storage and charges via USB-C. Latency is low enough for handwriting and sketching, though dedicated drawing tablets still feel more natural for serious digital art.
2-in-1 Form Factor
The 360-degree hinge lets you use it in four modes:
- Laptop — standard productivity
- Tent — presentations and video calls
- Tablet — note-taking and sketching with the pen
- Flat — sharing your screen across a table
At 2.93 lbs, it’s comfortable to hold as a tablet for 15-20 minutes. Longer sessions will fatigue your arms.
Battery Life
The 68 Wh battery paired with Intel’s Lunar Lake processor delivers 10-12 hours of productivity use. That’s competitive with the ThinkPad X1 Carbon and enough for a full workday without charging.
The Bottom Line
The Spectre x360 14 is the best premium 2-in-1 available. The included pen, OLED display, and sub-3 lb weight make it the complete package for anyone who wants convertible flexibility without compromise. The only reason to look elsewhere is if you need a discrete GPU.
