It produces serviceable, if somewhat noisy images, fine for Skype but not for much else. The Spectre’s 1080p HD webcam is embedded in the top bezel of the screen. For an extra $89, you can trade up for an HP Tilt Pen, which lets you draw from an angle for greater sketching and shading precision. I had no trouble tapping and swiping the Spectre’s touch-enabled display, and the same goes for scribbling doodles with the included AAAA-battery-powered HP Digital Pen. The display itself is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 4, making it tough to scratch but also prone to glare. Viewing angles on the Spectre x360 15’s IPS display panel were excellent, with the screen barely dimming even when viewed from extreme angles. The HP Spectre x360 15’s 4K display certainly looks impressive, although it’s not the brightest we’ve ever seen. Then again, the display pales a bit compared to the 500 nit-plus screens we’ve seen on other 4K laptops. Measuring 319 nits (or calendas), the Spectre’s screen looks sharp and vivid, well above our minimum standard for comfortable indoor reading.

The HP Spectre x360 15’s big, relatively bright 4K display marks one of the laptop’s high points.

This being a convertible-style laptop, the Spectre’s 15-inch, Corning Glass-protected display swivels a full 360 degrees, allowing you to tilt the screen back and sit it keyboard-down in kiosk mode, tent it in a ‘V’ shape, or flip the display all the way back for tablet use. Hefty though it is, the HP Spectre x360 15’s sleek aluminum chassis feels sturdy and well built, complete with chiseled edges in back and solid, copper-tinged hinges. We’re fans of the HP Spectre x360 15’s chiseled edges and copper-colored hinges.
