But the ZenBook Flip S out-performed here at 979.37 The Spectre transferred 25GB of files at a rate of 452.62 MBps, edging out the XPS 13 2-in-1.

On the same test, the MacBook Pro had a multi-core score of 5,925 and a single-core score of 1,316, and that was through Rosetta emulation that can decrease performance. The Dell XPS 13 2-in-1, also with the same Core i7, has a far higher multi-core score (5,639) but a lower single-core score (1,532). The ZenBook Flip S had a higher multi-core score (4,952) but a lower single-core score (1,512) with the same CPU. On comparable versions of Geekbench 5, an overall performance benchmark, the Spectre had a single core-score of 1,574 and a multi-core score of 4,749. (HP does have a 3:2 Spectre x360 with the 14-inch version of this laptop, which we hope to be able to test soon.)

As more notebooks move to taller 16:10 displays, like the Dell XPS 13 and MacBook Pro or a 3:2 display like the Microsoft Surface Laptop 3, it makes the whole design here, not just the screen, seem a little cramped and dated. The 13.3-inch display has very thin bezels, but looks short and squat with a 16:9 aspect ratio. Those corners are always accessible, and easy enough to reach whether the laptop is being used as a notebook or a tablet. But what makes it stand out are the cut-off corners near the back hinge, one of which has the power button while the other houses a Thunderbolt 4 port. The laptop, made from silver aluminum (it comes in black or blue for an extra cost), and has a reflective, modernized HP logo that I think the company should really start using on all of its products. The Spectre x360 13t is no different there. HP's Spectre lineup has had an aesthetic that would make a jeweler proud for the last few years.
