Quick specs of HP Spectre x360 2022 2 in 1 laptop

Starting off with the processor. Both Spectre x360 16 (2022)and Spectre x360 13.5 are powered by latest 12th gen Intel Core i5 and i7 respectively. The configuration of 13.5 version starts from i5-1235U 8 GB RAM and goes all the way up to i7-1255U, 32 GB RAM. In case of x360 16 the configuration of processor starts from Core i7-1260P 16 GB RAM and goes up to Intel Core i7-12700H, 32 GB of RAM.

The GPU in HP Spectre x360 13.5 is Intel Iris Xe, which gives decent enough performance. Things get more interesting with GPU of HP Spectre x360 16 which has Intel Arc graphics. The Intel Arc graphics has double the performance of Xe. It is still not enough to beat discrete Graphics like Nvidia 3050, but still a great GPU to have. Moreover, with HP going with Intel Arc GPU gives a credibility to Intel Arc GPU series.

Design of the Hp Spectre x360 (2022) is almost similar to previous 2021 version. The 13.5 comes in three color options – Natural Silver, Nightfall black and Nocturnal Blue. The 16-inch version as of is now showing in only black color version on Official US HP listing, but I think more, and more options will be added soon.

The third variation being high resolution 3K2K (3000 × 2000) OLED panel. One quick addition, 13.5 inch version has now replaced both 13.3 version and 14 -inch version.

The webcam of the HP Spectre x360 2 in1 is a strong point, the 2022 version has also not disappointed with HP True Vision 5MP IR camera. Usually, webcams are the area where 2 in 1 perform way better than normal laptop. Even in 2022 the webcams of majority of laptops suck. The connectivity option includes Intel Wi-Fi 6E AX211 (2×2) and Bluetooth 5.2 combo. Both latest of the current generation stack.
