HP Inc. unveiled the HP Spectre x360 14, offering the viewability of a 15-inch device with the mobility of a 13.5-inch form factor for the ultimate browsing, reading, editing, and viewing experience. Also announced today is HP’s expanded 11th Gen Intel® Core™ Processor Spectre and ENVY lineup, packed with incredible performance gains and increased battery life for the perfect work-at-homelifestyle.
The PC has become more essential than ever, with many doing more from home like work, school, and doctor’s visits, for the foreseeable future. But the home is a place often filled with roommates and family members also working or learning, requiring work and personal devices to be as flexible as the user’s environment. Less than one-third of users have an office where the door can be closed, making living rooms, bedrooms, and kitchens the open office floorplan of 2020. HP is creating devices like the new HP Spectre x360 14 to be adaptive and smart, with the use of intelligent features – like performance management and new AI-based audio capabilities – to anticipate needs before the user does.
“On-the-go computing takes on new meaning as today’s users demand devices that can accommodate a variety of use cases and environments within their homes,” said Kevin Frost, global lead and general manager, Consumer Personal Systems, HP Inc. “HP is listening to its users in real time, offering the most intelligent Spectre yet – designed to seamlessly adapt and anticipate the needs and demands of its users, from intelligent audio features like AI Noise Removal for more immersive and engaging Zoom calls to solutions like Smart Sense that automatically adjust settings on the device for improved performance.”
The new HP Spectre x360 14 rounds out the Spectre Portfolio, with the latest intelligent features that adapt to the user for the ultimate in productivity.

- Optional OLED display for an incredible 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio and a 100% DCI-P3 wide colour gamut for brighter, richer colours on the screen.To combat exposure to harmful blue lights, the OLED panel shifts the display spectrum to reduce the blue light, and still delivers vibrant colour vividly on the Spectre x360 14, which comes with both TUV and Eyesafe®

- Energy Star and EPEAT Gold certified, the Spectre x360 14 is a welcomed addition toHP’s most sustainable PC portfolio, which has more than 100 Gold EPEAT-registered products in more than 19 countries – more than any other company in the IT industry.HP’sinnovative use of natural, renewable materials in the device’s keyboard scissors cut the equivalent of nearly 600kgs of coal being burned in CO2 emissions over the lifetime of the device. Additionally, the packaging uses biodegradable molded fiber instead of plastic foam.
Co-engineered with Intel, the Spectre x360 14 has been tested, tuned, and verified to meet the requirements of the Intel® Evo™platform, ensuring it meets Intel’s hardware specifications and key experience targets for responsiveness, instant wake, battery life, and fast charge.

Help protect the health of the battery with the Adaptive Battery Optimizer.
- Focus Mode for multitasking and productivity, dimming the background apps not in use while keeping the app currently being used bright. This helps battery life by dimming other parts of the screen that are not in use, which is also great for privacy.

- Auto Color, the newest setting in HP Display Control, will automatically switch to the optimal colour space for the best viewing experience based on the content being viewed. This means the device will switch from the DCI-P3 colour space when watching a movie, to sRGB for surfing the Internet, to Adobe RGB when printing and imaging.
The Spectre x360 14 is the world’s first laptop to use keyboard scissors made from natural, renewable material.
