HP has revamped its Spectre x360 lineup of convertible, champfered-edged laptops with a purportedly quieter sound profile, Intel's new Arc graphics card, and beefed-up webcams.

Today, HP released 12th Gen Intel versions of the Spectre x360 in 13.5- and 16-inch sizes.

If the 13.5-inch sounds new to you, that's because HP hasn't released a "Spectre x360 13.5" since 2020. Last year, its 13.5-inch Spectre was called the "Spectre x360 14." But don't get confused; this thin-and-light laptop still has a screen that measures 13.5 inches diagonally and uses the 3:2 aspect ratio for up to 3000×2000 resolution if you opt for OLED.
