If you set the price of a new 13-inch laptop, you probably considered the Spectrum and Dell XPS lines, including the HP Specter x360 and the Dell XPS 13.

These two laptops are the main working tools of their respective ranges. They are designed to appeal to high-end consumers and businesses. Hewlett Packard often wins business auctions because of its budget-sensitive pricing, although you indulge in adjustments and finishes to make these break-even points. Dell machines tend to be stronger, while taking into account additional costs to cover these details.

All of the commonly available Hewlett Packard Specter product lines are 2-in-1 touchscreen models, which means you can flip them over their hinges and use them as tablets (or in table-tent mode for video playback) . The XPS 13 in a 2-in-1 version, but it's a bit more expensive. I have been content with the standard notebook edition for this review in order to keep the models in a similar price range. Here's how they compare:

Hewlett Packard (HP) Specter x360-13t

The Spectrum x360 13t includes a 13-inch screen with distinctive cut corners of HP. This one comes with a dark frame and golden accents. It derives its energy from an 8th generation quad-core Intel i7-8550U processor, 16 gigabytes (GB) RAM and a 512 GB NVMe PCIe SSD.

Graphic processing is provided by an integrated Intel UHD 620 graphics processor (Standard equipment on most laptops in both ranges.) The price is reasonable for a 2 in 1 with these specifications, but the x360 will not win any medals for a solid build.

New Dell XPS 13 9380

The new Dell XPS 13 9380 comes with newer hardware on the inside, but no touch screen capabilities or 2 in 1 on the outside. This model is a beautiful pink gold exterior, with a silver interior.

This unit includes an Intel Core processor i7-8565 processor, 8GB of RAM, a 256GB SSD and a fingerprint reader (which can be used to turn on the laptop). It has the same on board Intel HD Graphics 620 processor like the Specter x360, which means that, like this model, it is able to handle some light photo editing tasks. The screen is a real 4K, and nice to watch. You pay for better build quality here, although HP has a minor advantage over the hardware.
