The cursor never jumped, either, a problem I've experienced with other Ultrabooks.
XTRA PC REVIEWS 2016 WINDOWS 8
The superwide Synaptics Clickpad (5.5 x 2.5 inches) has similar dimensions to the 15-inch Envy x360, but lacks the former's Control Zones - sections on the right and left sides that made it easier to launch Windows 8 gestures. I also liked that the top row let me perform actions such as lowering and raising the volume and brightness without having to press the Function key first.
On the 10fastfingers typing test, I averaged 59 words per minute with 92 percent accuracy, nearly on a par with my desktop average of 60 wpm with 97 percent accuracy. While the keys were slightly mushier than I'd prefer, it didn't affect my typing speed by much.
The x360's keys have 1.34mm of travel and require 62 grams of force to press both numbers are typical of most notebooks (1.32mm/57 grams). In all, typing on the x360 was a pleasurable experience. Registering 82 decibels (as measured from 23 inches away), the notebook was a touch quieter than average (85 dB) and the Yoga 3 (86 dB), and nowhere near as loud as the XPS 13 (94 dB). Vocals were also front and center in Vance Joy's "Riptide." Higher tones, such as guitar strums and the tambourine, were pronounced without being muddy.Īlthough it seemed to boom in my office, the x360's speakers weren't the loudest.

Kurt Russell's growling voice in Furious 7 was full throated, as were explosions, gunfire and the roar of V12 engines. Like its display, the x360's audio also impressed. The panel's Delta-E score of 1.25 (numbers closer to 0 are better) means that the colors are highly accurate, too. Our display tests backed up my initial impressions: The x360's screen can produce 103.2 percent of the sRGB spectrum (anything around 100 percent is very good).

The Yoga 3 Pro is the next brightest, at 318 nits, followed by the XPS 13 (298 nits) and the MacBook Air (288 nits). Details were sharp enough to see the stubble on the face of just about every male actor.Īt 339 nits, the x360 outshines its competition, besting the average ultraportable (255 nits) by a fair margin.
(A quad-HD touch screen will be available, but only on the most expensive configuration.)Ī trailer for Avengers: Age of Ultron looked rich and saturated, and the sports cars in Fast and Furious 7 gleamed in the Southern California sun.
XTRA PC REVIEWS 2016 1080P
On most versions of the x360, HP eschews that trend, opting for a 1080p touch screen, which is plenty sharp and colorful, and most likely helps save battery life. Recently, many notebook makers have outfitted their high-end Ultrabooks with UltraHD displays. HP says the x360's hinges contain a set of three spiral gears "for synchronized and precise movement." All I know is that it opened and closed fairly easily, and was stiff enough so that I could poke at the screen without it wobbling too much. However, the sharp edges and weight of the x360 made it unwieldy and uncomfortable to hold in Tablet mode. Like with other convertible notebooks, the Stand mode (with the keyboard facing down) will be useful when watching movies in compact spaces, such as when the notebook is on an airline tray table. Among those whose screens can fold back 360 degrees, the Lenovo Yoga 3 Pro is a full pound lighter, as is the nonfolding Dell XPS 13 (2.5 pounds). Also on the right is a volume rocker, useful for when you're using the x360 in tablet mode.Īt 3.26 pounds, the x360 is heavier than most other 13-inch ultraportables. In a necessary concession to its folding design, the x360's power button is on the left edge, and the Windows button is on the right edge (instead of below the display).
