New HP Spectre x360 Launched With 8th Gen. Intel Core i7, 16GB RAM, And 4K Privacy Screen

The new HP Spectre x360 have just been launched in the US. The price is high at $1499, but when we consider what folks get here it's actually reasonable: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/hp-2-in-1-13-3-4k-ultra

The new HP Spectre x360 13.3-inch is a 360 degree revolving Windows 10 convertible, but with a touchscreen featuring 4k resolution at 3840 x 2160, Windows Ink apps and digitizer support, and if you press F1, the screen will fog the panel when viewed at angles, so that only the user in front of the screen can read the screen normally. This privacy screen feature is intended for use in public spaces, like on the train, plane, or a cafe.

Specs are very good all around, with four Bang & Olufsen speakers, a fingerprint reader for security, full dual-band Wi-Fi cover, a Thunderbolt and USB C port, included stylus, HP True Vison front camera, dual-array mics, Gorilla Glass screen protection, and that's before we even get to the power of the new HP Spectre x360.

This is one of the new 8th gen Intel Core powered Windows 10 devices, with a Intel Core i7 8550U for increased power and improved battery life, 16GB of LPDDR3 RAM, and 512GB of SSD storage.
