It’s a stylish chassis, premium panel options, stylus support, a powerful processor, and fantastic battery in one. But while the Spectre x360 14 isn’t a perfect laptop, it tops the pack in almost every area. Today’s market is full of capable convertibles that look good, work well, and do certain things really well. With a starting MSRP of $1,299.99 ($1,589.99 as tested) the Spectre x360 is easily my new favorite 2-in-1 laptop. The new Spectre’s sturdy black body, lustrous accents, and boldly sharp edges would make it a standout among convertible laptops across the board, even if it didn’t have a slew of other excellent qualities - which, from its 3:2 screen and packaged stylus to its stellar performance and battery life, it absolutely does. MacBooks have nailed the “premium” look and feel for years, and I’ll never waste an opportunity to gush about the build quality of Dell’s XPS line.īut I’ve never touched a consumer laptop as gorgeous as the Spectre x360 14. I have used a heck of a lot of laptops in the past year, and some of them are quite nice.
