HP Spectre x360 14 (2024) review

HP Spectre x360 14 (2024)

The Spectre x360 14 (2024) is the flagship convertible of this batch: a Core Ultra 5 125H with 32GB of RAM at $1,084. The 2024 refresh kept the premium chassis and swapped in the new platform — and, like the rest of this batch's 2024 convertibles, arrived without a dedicated card.

Where it holds up

Reliability at 75 runs 53% above the convertible-class median of 49, and the 68Wh battery adds a 26% cushion over the class median of 54 — the two chassis pillars, both delivered. Portability at 70.1 sits in the high band, light office work at 88.99 is top-tier, and photo design at 35 reaches mid.

Where it falls short

The graphics score reads zero — a coverage gap rather than a measured zero, since the 125H's integrated GPU has no matched entry in the scoring tables. Downstream, gaming at 19, modeling at 27 and engineering CAD at 33 sit in the low band, overall performance at 34.99 joins them, and value at 20.7 is the fourth-lowest reading in this batch — the quiet cost of flagship pricing on an unmeasured graphics story. No measured game verdicts appear on this sheet.

Price and depreciation

At $1,084 with a 13.87% annual rate, the two-year projection lands near $805 — a premium-machine curve on a sheet whose capability axes cluster low outside office work.

Alternatives to consider

The 2022 Spectre x360 16 in this batch costs $301 less and carries a real Arc A370M with a fifteen-fold class cushion. If the 14-inch hinge and the office axis are the whole mission, the OmniBook Ultra Flip 14 in this batch posts the field's best convertible performance sheet for the same $1,084.

Bottom line

Fairly priced for the class. Top-tier office work, a big battery and genuine portability — against a graphics coverage gap and one of the batch's weakest value readings. The chassis earns the badge; the sheet does not earn the price.
