Lenovo isn’t the only company preparing to launch a new convertible notebook with a new 6th-gen Intel Core “Skylake” processor.
HP is also updating its Spectre x360 line of convertibles with a new model sporting an Intel Core i5-6200U processor.
HP hasn’t officially introduced the new model yet, but European retail sites Fnac and Icecat have both posted product listings for the new HP Spectre x360 13-4100NF.
The computer is said to feature a 13.3 inch IPS display, 802.11ac WiFi, Bluetooth, Ban & Olufsen stereo speakers, a 56 Wh battery, HDMI, mini DisplayPort, and headset jacks, and three USB 3.0 ports. The models listed at Fnac and Icecat feature 4GB of RAM and 128GB of solid state storage. It’ll ship with Windows 10 software.
At first glance, the HP Envy x360 looks like a portable notebook. But it has a hinge that allows you to push the screen back 360 degrees until screen is back-to-back with the keyboard, letting you hold the touchscren laptop like a notebook.
Like many convertibles with reasonably large displays, the HP Spectre x360 is reasonably compact for a notebook, but kind of large for a tablet. It measures 12.8″ x 8.6″ x 0.6″ and weighs about 3.2 pounds.
I bought the 5th gen version of the x360 last fall with 8 GB ram and 256 gb hd. It drives a 30 inch 2560×1600 HP monitor nicely. Great computer… starts up in 10 seconds.
Great news.i was waiting for that.
