After all, the Folio lasts several hours longer on a charge than the x360, and the laptop's innovative design is arguably the best method for converting a laptop into a tablet. However, don't count out HP's newest entry to the Spectre lineup. The traditional bendback 2-in-1 also has a wider variety of ports, a brighter display and a lower price than the Folio. With its quad-core Intel U-series processors, the x360 offers significant performance gains over the Spectre Folio. If you need a laptop that's capable of powering demanding workloads, then the Spectre x360 is an easy choice. The Spectre x360 powered down more than 2 hours short of that mark, at 8 hours flat. The Folio stayed powered for 10 hours and 18 minutes on our Laptop Mag Battery Test, which involves continuous web surfing over Wi-Fi at 150 nits of display brightness. The low-powered CPU in the Spectre Folio gives the leather-bonded laptop the edge over the Spectre 360 when it comes to battery life. The Folio's 256GB SSD did a reasonable job but fell short with a rate of 318 MBps. The laptop's 512GB SSD transferred 4.97GB of mixed-media files in 9 seconds for a rate of 565.5 megabytes per second. The Spectre x360 even has a faster hard drive than the Folio. The Spectre Folio lagged far behind with a wait time of 49 minutes and 45 seconds. The x360 took 26 minutes flat to complete the rigorous test, which is just short of the premium laptop average (21:51).

We saw similar results in our Handbrake test, in which laptops are tasked to convert a 4K video into 1080p resolution. The keys on both the x360 and Folio are large, well-spaced and backlit.
Additionally, a weighty actuation force (71 grams on the Folio, 80 grams on the x360) provide a pleasant snappiness to the keys. We were impressed with the typing experience on both models, which each offer 1.3 millimeters of key travel. We didn't run into any issues when using these touch screens to navigate the web, and both displays are surrounded by relatively thin bezels.īoth Spectres defy the stigma that a thin laptop means a poor keyboard. The panel maxed out at 261 nits of brightness, which is dimmer than the premium laptop average (319 percent) and the Spectre Folio (313 nits). The x360's 13.3-inch screen doesn't get very bright, either.

The 13.3-inch display on the Spectre Folio registered 119 percent on our colorimeter, which measures sRGB color gamut. LTE-enabled versions of the Folio have a dual-sim slot under the display. The x360 also houses a USB 3.1 Type-A port and an SD card reader on the left side, whereas the Folio's only other port is a USB Type-C input. While both Spectre laptops offer dual Thunderbolt 3 ports and a headphone/mic jack, the x360 wins this round for its wider selection of inputs. The 3.4-pound and 12.6 x 9.2 x 0.6-inch Folio is far from being bulky however, many modern 13-inch laptops weigh less and are smaller. Measuring 12 x 8.6 x 0.5 inches and weighing 2.9 pounds, the Spectre x360 is both lighter and more compact than its leather sibling. The x360 employs a traditional 360-degree hinge for converting from a laptop to a tablet.
The x360's sharp angles and low profile give it an aggressive stance, while brushed aluminum and chrome surfaces add a premium touch. With its sleek silver aluminum chassis, the x360 has a more traditional appeal when compared with the Folio. That is, the bottom of the display detaches from the base when you push the screen forward, and the display changes viewing angles as you slide it toward you. Instead of bending backward or detaching from a base, the Spectre Folio goes from a laptop into presentation or tablet mode with a push and a slide. If the Spectre's leather materials weren't unique enough, the laptop also features an innovative mechanism for transforming into a tablet. The Folio's frame and keyboard deck are constructed of a stylish ash-gray aluminum, and a leather loop on the laptop's right side holds an included stylus. Accenting the leather lid is light stitching and an HP logo embossed in the center. The laptop's chassis feels plush and the leather does a reasonable job resisting stains and fingerprints. Bonded - not just covered - in 100 percent genuine leather, the Folio looks like it was created by a top fashion designer. The Spectre Folio is unlike any laptop we've ever seen.
