![]() ![]() Our review unit arrived with the Core i7-8500Y, 16GB of RAM, 256GB SSD and integrated LTE to always stay connected and available as build-to-order for $1758.98. ![]() Best Buy sells a slightly upgraded model with the Core i7-8500Y for $1399 but we’ve seen it go on sale for $1249.99 at certain retailers. In that case, consider the HP Spectre x360 15. For travel and portability, the 13-inch size is ideal, but some users may need more display space. ![]() Prices start at $1299 for a base model with the Core i5-8200Y, 8GB of RAM and 256GB SSD. Both the HP Spectre Folio and HP Spectre x360 are available in compact, ultrathin 13-inch laptop configurations, but only the latter has a larger alternative. Regardless of resolution, the Spectre Folio touch screen features Gorilla Glass 4 for added protection and includes a standard HP Active Pen for drawing and note taking. HP plans to offer a 4K option later, too. HP claims it’s a low power consumption panel that only sips 1W of power and delivers up to 400 nits of brightness. There’s only a single screen option, a 13.3-inch, 1080p, IPS, micro-edge WLED-backlit and touchscreen display. Those willing to wait can opt for 512GB, 1TB or 2TB options at a cost of $140, $440 or $1040, respectively. A 256GB PCIe NVME SSD is the smallest SSD available, which is standard on ready-to-ship and retail models. Ready-to-ship and retail configurations come with 8GB of LPDDR3 RAM, but a 16GB option is available for build-to-order with the Intel Core i7-8500Y upgrade for $300. The Core i7-8500Y is a $200 up-charge alone and the only CPU available with 16GB of RAM. The Spectre Folio is a completely fan-less and vent-less design, so its dead-silent and doesn’t need the occasional cleaning via compressed air. Intel clocks the Core i7-8500Y base clock at a paltry 1.5 GHz, but it can Turbo up to 4.2 GHz when needed. Both processors share the same dual-core, 4MB cache and Intel UHD Graphics 615, but the Core i7-8500Y has a 200 MHz base clock and 300 MHz Turbo clock advantage. HP offers the Intel Core i5-8200Y and i7-8500Y as the two processor options. ![]()
