HP Spectre x360 15 (15-df) in-depth review

Let's imagine that HP's wide range of convertible devices is a pyramid. At the bottom, you can find the Pavilions and ProBooks of x360 label. Next some EliteBooks and Envys. But on the top of this imaginary pyramid stays only one subbrand - the Spectre. Not only it looks magnificent but is paired with the best energy efficient hardware currently available.In addition to all of that, it obviously has a touchscreen panel with a 4K option (which we are going to review today by the way). Despite the elegant bezel-less design, HP wasn't thrifty as most of the manufacturers out there and kept a NumPad enabled keyboard design with reasonably large keys and a backlight. Join us on our venture to see whether the Spectre x360 15 (15-df0000) is a worthy competitor to probably the best 15-inch[...]

Health-Guard

Health-Guard eliminates the harmful Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM) and reduces the negative Blue Light which affects our eyes and body. Since it’s custom tailored for every panel, it manages to keep the colors perceptually accurate. Health-Guard simulates paper so the pressure on the eyes is greatly reduced.
