You may might find Ultra HD display in many of top end ultrabooks but in Spectre x360, HP sticks to Quad HD touch screen display projecting sharp and brilliant colors on screen. The viewing angles are good and colors did not look faded when viewed off-axis. The screen is glossy and reflects light so you should avoid looking at the screen under direct light source.

Powered by an Intel i7 5th generation processor with 8 GB RAM, the device performed extremely well in benchmark tests. In PC Mark 8 Work test suite that comprises of web browsing, writing, video chat and spreadsheet test, it scored 3744. In Creative test suite that measures system's ability to perform a series of multimedia and tasks it scored. In 3D Mark that measures graphic power it scored 33831 thus can handle jobs that require medium graphic capability and one can also enjoy light gaming. The results ensure that Spectre x360 is capable of performing productivity and other demanding tasks without crying or requiring any additional resource upgrade.
