Pros:

Sleek, fanless design offers ultrabook functionality and the portability of a tablet. Decentsized 128GB solidstate drive (SSD). Backlit keyboard. Great sound. Dualbattery design.
The HP Spectre 13 x2 converts into a large 13-inch tablet with a full 1080p display. The system is reasonably priced, and has a decent selection of ports on the keyboard base.

Cons:

Specialized processor sacrifices power to keep temperatures low. No rearfacing camera
The combined hybrid body is awkwardly top-heavy, and the touch pad isn't sensitive enough for easy all-day use.

The HP Spectre 13t x2 is very similar to the standard HP Spectre 13t ultrabook. Though the latter offers slightly better performance, the difference isn't noticeable in day-to-day use, and battery life is almost identical. The x2 is about a pound...

The HP Spectre 13t x2 is a difficult product to evaluate. On one hand, as a total package, the unit's excellent build quality and stellar good looks make it an inspired design in the Ultrabook category. On the other hand, as a tablet, it's large size...
