Ports include two USB-C with Thunderbolt 3 support, USB-A 3.1 with fast charging, and DisplayPort 1.4. The base model also starts with 8GB of RAM and a 256Gb PCIe NVMe solid-state drive, although these can easily be updated. The 2-in-1 also sports the newest 11th-generation Intel Core processors, starting with the Core i5-1135G7. As can be expected with HP laptops, there are plenty of security features onboard, including a facial recognition camera and a fingerprint scanner.

The productivity-friendly 3:2 touchscreen itself is a bright, colorful, and inky black OLED display that is awesome for creators and media consumption.

It has a little bit of everything and manages to do it all well. This incredible laptop has a beautiful “gem-cut” design, amazing battery life, a keyboard that feels great to use, and 2-in-1 features if you want to convert it to tablet form to sketch, takes notes, etc. It’s not often that we reward any 2-in-1 laptops with a perfect review score, but finding a laptop like the HP Spectre x360 14 is a rare occurrence. Who it’s for: Professionals, perfectionists, and people who want a really good laptop. Why you should buy this: You want a flexible laptop that performs great in all categories.
