Design

HP has translated the existing luxurious HP Spectre X360 14-EA0031TU design and metal materials to the new 3:2 form factor without any surprises. Both the base and lid exhibit little flexing and no creaking when attempting to twist their corners or depress their surfaces. Chassis rigidity doesn’t feel any better or worse than the Asus ZenBook S or XPS 13, but its gold trims are arguably classier. One thing we would improve is the rigidity of the hinges at certain angles. The lid falls over too easily once it reaches past 120 degrees which can be annoying when typing or transporting the laptop. This also doesn’t give a good sense of longevity as the hinges will inevitably become weaker over time.

Processor

The HP Spectre X360 14 is equipped with the Intel Core i7-1165G7 is a higher-end, quad-core SoC designed to be used in ultra-thin laptops. The Tiger Lake-UP3 processor was unveiled in September 2020. It has four Hyper-Threading-enabled Willow Cove cores at its disposal running at 2.8 GHz (base clock speed @ 28 W TDP) Boosting up to 4.7 GHz (single-core Boost frequency). The all-core Boost frequency is 4.1 GHz. This i7 was the second-fastest CPU of the TGL-UP3 lineup when Intel initially launched the series in 2020. Core i7-1165G7 is ever-so-slightly inferior to the Core i7-1185G7 in that the vPro support is nowhere to be found, the clock speeds are lower, and the iGPU’s clock speed is a little lower as well.

Display

The HP Spectre X360 14 has 13.5-inch OLED panel of the Spectre x360 14 has a superb contrast ratio (37000:1) and an outstanding black value (0.01 cd/m²). The resolution (3000×2000) and the response times are also on a very high level. The maximum screen brightness of 373.8 cd/m² is quite decent. However, the IPS panel (1920×1280) of the sibling model offers a slightly higher maximum screen brightness (393.6 cd/m²). HP also offers a model of the Spectre x360 14 with a 1000-cd/m² panel (IPS, 1920×1280).
