![]() The final design wouldn't be as narrow as this new model is, but it would have given users a more practical display. Instead of abolishing the top and bottom bezels entirely, the company could have instead put a 3:2 aspect ratio screen on the laptop and removed any excess bezel that surrounded it. That means a lot more scrolling than necessary, and it makes me wish that HP looked at the previous version of the Spectre x360 13 in a different way. The higher screen-to-body ratio is great to see, but HP is still using a panel with a 16:9 aspect ratio. The company developed a super-tiny (2.2mm) IR camera as well, so it could keep that form of Windows Hello on the shrunken top bezel. HP slashed most of that unnecessary space here, leaving behind a modest bezel at the bottom of the display with the HP logo on it. The previous model had chunky black bezels at the top and bottom of its display, increasing the overall width of the device. If you spend an inordinate amount of time around laptops like I do, the new narrowness to the 5th-gen HP Spectre x360 13 would immediately strike you. ![]() (Ars Technica may earn compensation for sales from links on this post through affiliate programs.)

We recently spent a few days with the laptop to find out. But HP didn't remove anything from the 4th-generation laptop when making the newest model-a fact that will work in its favor as it has to compete with the likes of the Dell XPS 13 two-in-one and the new Dell XPS 13 laptop. With thin-and-light flagships like these, sacrifices typically come in power, battery life, and port selection, just to name a few areas. When OEMs make improvements and try to fix problems on a laptop, they often have to make sacrifices. Further Reading HP’s Spectre X360 13” laptop offers Ice Lake, Project Athena, and more
