The Spectre x360 has a healthy helping of ports for peripherals and external monitors. With its 3DMark score of 62,054, you will have to settle for Words with Friends, Candy Crush and perhaps some World of Warcraft, but that's the best you'll get. The integrated Intel HD Graphics 520 GPU isn't enough to handle intensive video games like Far Cry Primal or Tom Clancy's The Division. However, the Lenovo Yoga 900 was slightly faster, and the Surface Pro 4 blew past them both at more than 300 MBps. The Spectre x360's solid-state drive is faster than the average ultraportable, delivering a transfer rate of 173.4 MBps. The Surface Pro 4 and the Yoga 900) were slightly slower than the Spectre x360. HP's 2-in-1 took just 4 minutes and 2 seconds to complete our spreadsheet macro test, where we pair 20,000 names with their addresses in OpenOffice Calc. The Spectre x360 achieved a score of 6,829 on the Geekbench 3 synthetic performance test, beating the Surface Pro 4's score of 6,811 (Core i5-6300U, 8GB of RAM) and the Yoga 900's mark of 6,264 (Core i7-6500U, 16GB of RAM) by a hair. I didn't experience any slowdown when I browsed the Web in Google Chrome with 13 tabs open, one of which was streaming 1080p video from YouTube. With a Core i7-6500U CPU, 8GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD, our review configuration of the Spectre X360 provided more than enough performance for productivity and entertainment. Luckily, the speakers sound good enough on their own not to need the extra help. The vocals, rhythmic clapping and synthesized melodies were all rich and powerful, no matter whether I used the Spectre as a laptop, stand, display or tent.īang & Olufsen's software was buried in the system tray (it wasn't listed in the list of programs), and for good reason: there's not much you can do with it besides adjust the volume. I sat back, relaxed and listened to Major Lazer and DJ Snake's "Lean On" play loud and clear from the Bang & Olufsen speakers. That's not as good as the Surface Pro 4, but much better than the Yoga 900. The Spectre's fairly precise display registered a Delta-E color accuracy score of 0.97 (the closer to zero, the better). That's more than both the Surface Pro 4 (100 percent) and Yoga 900 (93 percent). HP's 2-in-1 covers an excellent 110.8 percent of the sRGB color gamut, which would explain its vibrant tones. The Microsoft Surface Pro 4 was the brightest of the group at 382 nits, while the Lenovo Yoga 900 was the most dim at 284 nits. The Spectre x360's screen clocked in at 307.6 nits of brightness on our light meter, just under the ultraportable category average of 309 nits.
