![]() I'd like to have seen USB 3.2 Gen 2 (or USB 3.1 Gen 2) on here. If you're unfamiliar with USB 3.2 Gen 1, you might know it better as USB 3.1 Gen 1, or USB 3.0, because they're exactly the same and it just keeps getting rebranded. On the left side, there's a USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A port, which gets speeds of 5Gbps. The cool thing about that one is that it's designed to keep the cable out of your way, and you can fold the display back without the cable getting in your way as well. Tucked in the corner there is a second Thunderbolt 4 port. HP always supported the full spec, so nothing is really changing here. The difference is that Thunderbolt 3 had a minimum spec that used two lanes instead of four, supporting half of that, and there was no easy way to know what you were buying. They both support 40Gbps data transfer speeds, or up to two 4K monitors on a single port. That USB Type-C port is Thunderbolt 4, which frankly, isn't all that different from Thunderbolt 3. You'll notice on the right side that there's a microSD slot, a 3.5mm audio jack, and one USB Type-C port. Note that this design is the same as we saw with the last couple of generations of the Spectre x360 14, just adapted for the larger form factor. It also has gem-cut edges, adding to the style that you find in the Spectre x360. You can also see the Pale Bronze hinges in the image above what you can't really see is that the sides are also this color, along with other parts. You'll notice the chrome-colored HP logo stamped in the lid. The Pale Bronze accents actually look silver, so it's very pale. And finally, there's boring old Natural Silver, a color that HP actually killed off one year and then brought back due to popular demand. It also comes in Nightfall Black with Copper Luxe accents, and that one is also stunning. This is actually the first time that the company has sent me a Poseidon Blue Spectre, which is pretty cool. ![]() The color of the model that HP sent me is called Poseidon Blue and it has Pale Bronze accents. It's a long way away from the boring old MacBook clones that we still see a lot of, and it's really impressive how it's evolved over the years. This is the type of PC that if you use it in public, people are going to notice it. Honestly, these are great laptops, but the design is absolutely a differentiator. I've said this many times before, but HP's Spectre x360 series is the sexiest line of PCs on the market.
