HP’s latest Spectre x360 14 elevates the premium convertible category with a stunning OLED panel and Intel Core Ultra processors. The centerpiece is a 14-inch 2.8K OLED touchscreen featuring a 16:10 aspect ratio, adaptive 48–120 Hz refresh rate, and 0.2 ms response time. The panel covers 100% of the DCI-P3 color gamut, achieves VESA DisplayHDR True Black 500 certification, and is IMAX Enhanced. Factory-calibrated to Delta E < 2 and Pantone Validated, it supports Dolby Vision, HDR10, and HLG for premium streaming. A peak brightness of 500 nits in HDR mode delivers deep inky blacks and vivid highlights, making it ideal for content creation and media consumption. The screen’s anti-reflection, anti-smudge coating, and low blue light technology earn Eyesafe certification, reducing eye strain during extended use. Touch support and an active pen transform the display into a versatile canvas for digital art.
The chassis maintains HP’s gem-cut design language with precision-machined CNC aluminum, dual chamfer edges, and a minimalist profile. HP incorporates post-consumer recycled aluminum, ocean-bound plastic in the speaker enclosures, and water-based paint finishes. Available in Nightfall Black with brass accents or Slate Blue, the convertible measures just 16.9 mm thin and weighs approximately 1.44 kg (3.19 lb). The 360-degree hinge is fluid yet stiff enough to hold the display securely in laptop, tent, stand, or tablet modes. A redesigned thermal system with dual fans and heat pipes ensures quiet operation even under load.
The keyboard layout is spacious with 1.5 mm key travel and optional two-stage backlighting. The oversized haptic touchpad, milled from a single piece of glass, provides smooth, responsive gesture control. Dual-edge display cutouts house the quad-speaker system tuned by Bang & Olufsen, delivering rich spatial audio with discrete amplifiers. The top-firing speakers remain unimpeded in any mode, and discrete smart amplifiers optimize clarity and bass.
Under the hood, the Spectre x360 14 is powered by Intel Core Ultra 7 155H, fabricated on the Intel 4 process. The processor features a hybrid architecture with 6 performance cores, 8 efficient cores, and 2 low-power efficient cores, totaling 16 cores and 22 threads, with a max turbo of 4.8 GHz. An integrated NPU delivers up to 34 TOPS for AI acceleration, gracefully handling Windows Studio Effects like background blur, eye contact correction, and auto framing without taxing the CPU. The integrated Intel Arc GPU with 8 Xe-cores drives the 2.8K display, supports hardware-accelerated AV1 encoding, and offers light gaming and creative workload capabilities. While no discrete GPU option is available, the Arc graphics represent a sizable leap over previous integrated solutions, handling photo editing and casual titles smoothly. HP Smart Sense automatically adjusts fan curves and processor power limits between 15 W and 28 W depending on whether the device is held or docked, optimizing acoustics and battery life. The dual-fan cooling solution uses liquid crystal polymer blades and 3D vapor chamber technology to dissipate heat efficiently, keeping the keyboard deck cool.
Memory configurations include up to 32 GB of LPDDR5x-7467 MHz soldered RAM, ensuring dual-channel bandwidth for creative applications. Storage reaches 2 TB PCIe Gen 4 NVMe SSD, with sequential read speeds surpassing 5,000 MB/s. Intel Killer Wi-Fi 6E (Gig+) and Bluetooth 5.3 provide cutting-edge wireless connectivity, enhanced by HP Extended Range Wireless LAN. Wired I/O includes two Thunderbolt 4/USB-C ports that support power delivery, dual 4K output at 60 Hz or an 8K display, and up to 40 Gbps data transfer. Additionally, there is one USB-A port at 10 Gbps, a 3.5mm audio combo jack, and a microSD card reader compatible with UHS-I speeds for quick media offloads. A dedicated magnetic charging pogo pin on the right side interfaces with HP’s optional wireless charging sleeve.
Battery life benefits from a 68 Wh lithium-polymer pack and Intel’s efficiency cores. HP promises up to 15 hours of mixed usage on a single charge with the OLED panel set to 120 nits; adaptive refresh drops to 48 Hz during static content to extend runtime even further. Rapid Charge replenishes 50% of the battery in roughly 30 minutes via the compact 65 W USB-C adapter. Adaptive Battery Optimizer uses AI to learn usage habits and minimize battery swelling over time.
The 9-megapixel IR camera stands out with hardware-based low-light enhancement and a physical privacy shutter. HP GlamCam software includes appearance filters, lighting correction, and auto frame that keeps the user centered during video calls; the sensor enables temporal noise reduction for cleaner video in dim environments. Windows Hello face authentication is swift and secure. AI-powered noise reduction dual-array microphones filter background clatter. Presence detection via the IR sensor locks the laptop when the user walks away and wakes it upon return, enhancing privacy and power efficiency.
Pen support includes the HP MPP 2.0 Tilt Pen, which magnetically attaches to the side of the chassis, charges via USB-C, and offers 4,096 levels of pressure sensitivity. The pen is ideal for note-taking, sketching, and annotating documents in tablet mode. HP Palette software integrates seamlessly with creative applications like Adobe Fresco and Concepts for a unified digital art workflow.
Software integration features HP Command Center for performance profiles (Quiet, Balanced, Performance), thermal tuning, and keyboard macro customization. The myHP app centralizes updates and diagnostics. The device ships with Windows 11 Home or Pro and includes a 30-day trial of Microsoft 365.
Security features combine a fingerprint reader on the power button, webcam kill switch, TPM 2.0, and HP Sure View privacy screen option on non-OLED SKUs. HP Wolf Security delivers endpoint protection with Sure Sense malware protection, Sure Click secure browsing, and Sure Admin for BIOS-level defense. Self-healing BIOS with HP Sure Start provides resiliency against firmware attacks.
Pricing for the Spectre x360 14 starts at $1,649.99 for the Core Ultra 7, 16 GB RAM, 512 GB SSD, and the 2.8K OLED display. Higher configurations with 32 GB memory and 2 TB storage climb to around $1,999.99. The laptop is available immediately through HP.com, Best Buy, and select global retailers. Promotions may bundle a free stylus or protective sleeve during launch while supplies last.
