The HP Spectrex360135 and Apple MacBook Air M2 are two of the best premium laptops you can buy. But the HP provides a more flexible form factor.
HP’s Spectre x360 13.5 is the most refined convertible 2-in-1 available today and one of the best laptops overall, while the Apple MacBook Air M2 is an excellent, updated version of Apple’s venerable machine. Both are outstanding laptops that should be on anyone’s shortlist for their next upgrade.
The Apple MacBook Air M2’s pricing is fixed in stone, at least when purchased from Apple. The base model is $1,199 for an 8-core CPU/8-core GPU Apple M2 processor, 8GB of RAM, and a 256GB SSD. Max out the MacBook and you’ll spend $2,499 for an 8-core CPU/10-core GPU M2, 24GB of RAM, and a 2TB SSD. Both are attractive laptops that represent the pinnacle of premium machines. Which is right for you depends on whether you want the flexibility of a 2-in-1 that can convert to clamshell, tent, media, and tablet modes, with support for touch and an active pen, or if you’re looking for a traditional laptop.
Finally, connectivity favors the Spectre, which includes USB-A for legacy support and a microSD card reader to go with its equal number of Thunderbolt 4 ports. The HP also includes faster Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.2 compared to the MacBook’s Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.0. For productivity tasks, both laptops are equally fast. But for creative workflows, the MacBook Air M2 is the winner. Neither laptop is a particularly good gaming machine.
Portability The Spectre x360 13.5 is a bit heavier than the MacBook Air M2 at 3.01 pounds versus 2.7 pounds, and it’s a bit thicker. Both laptops are easy enough to carry around, though.
