The XPS 15 and non-OLED Spectre x360's comparatively overpowered GTX 1050 Ti Max-Q GPU notched 6,780 and 6,639, respectively. On the 3DMark Fire Strike graphics benchmark test, the Spectre x360 15's Nvidia GeForce MX150 GPU scored 3,265, which falls short of the average premium laptop (3,831), but it does beat the MateBook X Pro's identical MX150 GPU (2,525).

You can tune the audio with the HP Audio Control app, with settings like Music, Movie and Voice as well as a full equalizer, which helped, but not enough to enhance the bass. Overall, the sound is fair, but I wish the speakers had some extra bass. Meanwhile, the vocals were crisp, but the higher pitched background vocals sounded a little sharp. The drum beats were similar: distinguishable but second to the vocals. The keyboard notes during the intro were a little too soft, nearly blending in with vocals, but they were still distinguishable. The Spectre x360's bottom-firing Bang & Olufsen speakers sounded decent, and they were loud enough to blast NF's 'Let You Down' across a small office.

The 4.7 x 2.3-inch elongated touchpad on the Spectre x360 15 was as smooth as glass and offered decent clicks. On top of that, the keyboard has some strong white backlighting. Between the keyboard's evenly spaced layout and the way the palm rests curve downward to caress my hands, I always felt comfortable.

The Spectre x360's 15.6-inch, 4K OLED display is so colorful and vibrant that it made watching the IT Chapter 2 trailer that much more terrifying.Īccording to our colorimeter, the Spectre x360's screen covers a wild 258% of the sRGB color gamut, blowing past the average premium laptop (123%) as well as the MateBook X Pro (124%), the XPS 15 (164%) and the non-OLED Spectre x360 (157%).
