HP Spectre x360 15 2020
The HP Spectre x360 15 delivers a compact 15-inch design with a stunning OLED display and solid build quality, making it ideal for productivity and versatile 2-in-1 use. However, its modest creative performance and short battery life limit its appeal for heavy creative or gaming workloads.

“HP’s 15‑inch flagship offers a 4K OLED screen and trademark slick design, but that fancy display (on top of the usual thermal challenges of convertible design) means the laptop runs hot and eats battery.”
