For 2017 HP has released an updated version of their flip around super slim and stylish laptop. The new Spectre x360 convertible notebook functions in tablet, tent or stand modes. It comes with a stylus and is touch enabled at starting price of $1,149. Most notably, it claims long battery life up to 16.5 hours along with a new integrated privacy screen for security.
