![]() The notebook ran for 8 hours and 36 minutes on the Laptop Mag Battery test, which involves continuous web browsing over Wi-Fi. You might get a light boost in Photoshop performance, but creators and gamers alike would be better served by a workstation or gaming laptop with an Nvidia GTX 1050 GPU.ĭespite its 4K screen, the Spectre x360 has surprising endurance thanks to a large battery. On the 3DMark graphics benchmark, the Spectre earned a score of 93,759, beating the category average (83,427), Notebook 7 Spin (940MX 88,956), Yoga 910 (Intel HD Graphics 620 77,093) and Inspiron (Intel HD Graphics 520 64,067). When I ran Rise of the Tomb Raider on our budget settings (SMAA anti-aliasing, high and medium settings), the game stuttered along at 15.2 fps. The Nvidia GeForce 940MX isn't primed for intensive games, though. Using its integrated Intel HD Graphics 620, the Spectre ran Dirt 3 at 29 frames per second on par with the 29-fps average but below our 30-fps playability threshold. The laptop can do some very light gaming. On the typing test, I sped along at 115 words per minute (on the higher end of my average range) and my usual 2 percent error rate. But it requires just 50 grams of force to press (we prefer 60g), which occasionally resulted in me bottoming out, but didn't really affect my performance. The keyboard on the Spectre x360 is punchy, with a deep 1.5 millimeters of travel. It measured an average 255 nits on our light meter, which is lower than the mainstream average (268 nits), the Notebook 7 Spin (260 nits) and the Yoga 910 (292 nits). ![]() The Spectre's screen could also be a bit brighter. The screen has a Delta-E color-accuracy score of 3.5 (0 is ideal), above the average (2.4) and much higher than the Yoga (0.8), Inspiron (0.9) and Notebook 7 Spin (1.8). Those vivid colors aren't always precise. The screen covers an excellent 113.2 percent of the sRGB color gamut, surpassing the 92-percent mainstream category average and showings by the Yoga 910 (98 percent), Notebook 7 Spin (72 percent) and Inspiron (62 percent).
