I had no problem using the Spectre x360's touch screen to navigate the web or draw pictures in Paint 3D with my fingers or the included Active Pen. ![]() MORE: Help Me, Tom's Guide: Can I Use a TV as a Monitor? Then again, the Yoga C930 (273 nits) and Gram 14 2-in-1 (253 nits) also fell short in this area. While the panel is far from dim, at 287 nits, it doesn't get as bright as the category average (329 nits) or competing laptops like the MateBook 13 (318 nits). In contrast with the Spectre x360's vivid display, its peak brightness is somewhat of a letdown. ![]() The display on the average premium laptop (118 percent) also isn't as vibrant. That makes the display more colorful than those on the Gram 14 2-in-1 (128 percent), Yoga C930 (100 percent) and MateBook 13 (122 percent). The panel's punchy colors reflect the Spectre x360's ability to cover 150 percent of the sRGB color gamut.

The Spectre x360 is a very portable device, at just 12.2 x 8.6 x 0.6 inches and 2.8 pounds. Now you'll need to tap your way into the volume settings when using the machine in tablet mode, instead of adjusting audio via a physical button. Also, instead of improving the stiff volume rocker on last year's model, HP did away with it altogether. NOTE: This Certified Refurbished product is tested and inspected to look and work like-new, with limited to no signs of wear.But for all of my praise, I can't ignore the Spectre x360's chunky top and bottom bezels, especially since nearly all of its competitors now have edge-to-edge displays.
