HP’s Spectre X360 is designed to be used mainly as a laptop, but can turn into a tablet flipping the screen backwards. During a hands on test, it didn’t feel like the lightest or thinnest hybrid, but it performed admirably and had a generous feature set.
The hybrid will ship worldwide in March starting at $899. I tested a unit with Windows 8.1, an Intel Broadwell Core i5 processor, 256GB of solid-state drive storage, 8GB of memory and a full high-definition touch screen, which would retail for around $999. The prices of different models are comparable to Lenovo’s Yoga, which has a similar hybrid design.
