80% HP Spectre X2
Source: Maximum PC English EN→zh-CN Archive.org version
Now that Microsoft's Surface Pro line of computers is catching some hype, HP is jumping on the bandwagon with its own variant of the convertible. In the end, the x2 certainly has its blemishes but if you’re in the market for a Surface Pro 4–style device but can’t afford Microsoft’s version, the x2 can get the job done for a much lower price.

HP outdoes Microsoft at its own game, taking some of the best parts of the Surface line, lowering the price, and fixing the Surface's biggest headache -- the extra-cost keyboard. The result is a slim, sturdy-feeling tablet that's easy to carry, and also converts to something close to a laptop for those times you need a fingers-on-keys experience.

A Core m Powered Surface Alternative
Source: Hot Hardware English EN→zh-CN Archive.org version
HP made some intelligent decisions with the Spectre X2 and the end result is a well-balanced, hybrid device that offers good all-around performance and battery life, in a svelte, lightweight, highly-portable package. Power users looking for a high-performance mobile device for heavy-duty workloads would probably be better served by something powered by a Core i5 or i7-series processor, but for the majority of users out there.

Ultimately, the HP Spectre x2 is an excellent device, though with some caveats whenever it tries to differentiate from the crowd. It's the only Windows tablet to feature a quad-speaker setup, but it only helps pump up volume without adding depth to the audio experience. HP's is also the only 2-in-1 to feature dual RealSense cameras, but for now they're only useful for playing around in games or messing with the scanned faces of your friends.

The HP Spectre x2, billed as a laptop replacement, has the power and speed to run complex applications, more than 9 hours of battery life, and unlike the Microsoft Surface Pro 4, it comes with a built-in 4G LTE modem, and its keyboard cover is included. That said, the Microsoft Surface Pro 4 holds remains our top pick for high-end slate tablets, given its higher performance, longer battery life, higher-resolution screen, and better legacy connectivity. If you want to save $150 and don't want to have to pay extra for a keyboard, though, the HP Spectre x2 is worth considering.

80% A less expensive Surface rival
Source: Engadget English EN→zh-CN Archive.org version
The Spectre x2 undercuts its competitors with a lower price that includes a keyboard in the box (and it's a very comfortable keyboard, at that). Still, for more money you could buy a similar product with faster performance, longer battery life and a sharper screen. That means the x2 is a good deal for the money, but not the best in its class.

80% HP Spectre x2 review: A Surface clone for a lot less cash
Source: PC World English EN→zh-CN Archive.org version
So is the Spectre x2 a better Surface than the Surface Pro 4? I had high hopes, but it looks like Microsoft's higher-end components are paying off. For a first attempt, though, this ain’t bad. I really see the Spectre x2 as more of a half step back behind the Surface Pro 4. For people who just want the same form factor for general use, the Spectre x2 is a worthy alternative and certainly gives you more value against the Surface Pro 4, and more performance against the Surface 3.

70% HP Spectre X2 review – gets the looks and the performance, but…
Source: Ultrabook Review English EN→zh-CN Archive.org version
I wish it was everything I hoped for, but the Spectre x2 falls just a little short of my expectations in order to replace my Surface Pro 3. If anything, they are about equal, with minor pros and cons between the two. If it wasn’t for the poor sound and the dim screen, I would seriously consider keeping this and ditching the Surface. The build quality and fanless experience is just so nice to have!

The Spectre x2 has a lot of features that show off how good a 2-in-1 can be. Its metal-backed keyboard offers a great typing experience, and the quad B&O speakers and Intel RealSense 3D Camera are nice bonuses that help bring a spark to everyday computing. The optional Verizon 4G LTE connection should be a real boon to road warriors, too.

一体机? 我们不是在说那种超重的笔记本电脑,而是一台850克的平板,它可以通过折叠支架和键盘变成一台全尺寸的笔记本电脑。两个C型接口预示着数据线新时代的来临。不过它要怎么样才能连接显示器呢?

Overall, the HP Spectre X2 isn’t as good as the Surface Pro 4. From weight to wired connectivity and screen quality, it’s good enough but nonetheless falls behind Microsoft’s flagship tablet. None of this may matter though given how much cheaper the X2 is, especially once you include its keyboard/screen cover.

80% HP Spectre x2 review - the latest Surface Pro 4 rival
Source: Expert Reviews English EN→zh-CN Archive.org version
The HP Spectre x2 is a good all-round 2-in-1. At £700, it's not cheap, but when compared to the equivalent Surface Pro 4, it's still pretty great value, particularly when the Spectre x2 comes with a keyboard in the box. The basic Surface Pro 4, on the other hand, costs £749, but you'll have to factor in another £110 if you want to buy a Surface Pro 4 Type Cover keyboard, bringing the total overall cost to £859.

As far as value driven tablets go, HP’s Spectre x2 is definitely worth a look, with a real return to balanced computing for HP in this option. Essentially, there’s enough of a computer here for most people, especially those trying to work out which type of computer they want next: laptop or tablet. HP’s Spectre x2 is a solid middle ground, and we don’t just mean “solid” because it has been built well, but also because there’s a decent computing experience paired with a fairly impressive value and some great design.

60% HP Spectre x2 review: Like the Surface Pro 4, only cheaper
Source: PC Pro English EN→zh-CN Archive.org version
So, you’re left with a choice. You can either spend £699 on the HP Spectre x2, or you can spend £860 on the Core m3 Surface Pro 4 and Type Cover. For me, the decision is easy. Despite having half the storage, the Surface Pro 4 does everything the HP does in a more refined package. In fact, the vastly superior display quality swings it for me alone, and for that, I’d happily put up with the smaller SSD.

60% Review: the HP Spectre x2 can't beat the Surface Pro 4
Source: PC Authority English EN→zh-CN Archive.org version
For me, the decision is easy. The Surface Pro 4 does everything the HP does in a more refined package. In fact, the vastly superior display quality alone swings it for me, and for that, I’d happily put up with a slightly slower CPU. Don’t get me wrong, the HP Spectre x2 is a competent, reasonably priced hybrid, and if the price shrinks further in the future it may become something of a bargain. But when its major selling point is being cheaper than one of the best tablets money can buy, being roughly half as good doesn’t cut it.
