For 2017 HP has released an updated version of their flip around super slim and stylish laptop. The new Spectre x360 convertible notebook functions in tablet, tent or stand modes. It comes with a stylus and is touch enabled at starting price of $1,149. Most notably, it claims long battery life up to 16.5 hours along with a new integrated privacy screen for security.

Power users will appreciate connectivity options with two USB-C Thunderbolt to charge, connect a display, or transfer data at up to a blazing 40Gbps, one USB 3.1 Type-A, combo audio jack, and a Micro-SD card slot. Alternatively, it can easily connect to two external 4K displays for a more immersive experience. Finally, there’s custom tuned audio by the aficionados at Bang & Olufsen.
