Speaking of clarity, the Specter x360 14 also features a wide-angle 9MP camera, which Gedeon says “does an excellent job of reproducing color” (anyone who’s used Zoom knows that’s not always a given).

On the tablet side, the 2-in-1 device comes with HP’s rechargeable MPP 2.0 Tilt Pen, which retails for $76.99 (but is also on sale for $56.99 at the time of this writing). You can use the pen on the screen in one of three settings: laptop, tablet, or tent mode. As for the keyboard and trackpad, Gedeon found both to be exemplary, with the keyboard being her favorite of all the laptops she’s tested and the trackpad offering “the perfect balance of smoothness and resistance.”

Some downsides to this model are the odd port placement, heavier frame, and fingerprint-friendly appearance.
