We've always been big fans of the HP Spectre range here at TechRadar. They're pricey, sure, but they've consistently been some of the best ultrabooks money can buy over the years. In the admittedly niche area of high-end 2-in-1 laptops, they stand out as the best option right now thanks to a combination of their outstanding design and competitive specs.

Our HP Spectre x360 (2022) review of the latest 13.5-inch model was generally positive, although we did have a few issues with the touchpad. As always, though, we were impressed with the small size and lightweight chassis – and we also found the battery life to be outstanding for a Windows laptop. Price was also an issue for us, although today's fantastic laptop deals at the official HP store massively offset this particular bugbear. At $899, we think the 13.5-inch model is a fantastic buy in particular right now.
