The Spectre x360 13 offers two USB-C ports with Thunderbolt 4 on the refreshed models (we reviewed the late 2019 version, and only the internals changed), a USB-A port, a microSD card reader, and a 3.5mm audio jack. It’s a $70 option on both machines.īesides the aesthetics, connectivity is another slight difference.

That’s close enough to be extremely difficult to tell apart by their dimensions alone. The Envy x360 13 is 12.07 inches by 7.66 inches by 0.68 inches and weighs 2.92 pounds. The Spectre x360 is 12.08 inches wide by 7.66 inches deep by 0.67 inches thick, and it weighs 2.8 pounds. We’ve already said that these two laptops are almost identical in size and weight.

The Spectre x360 13 is an exquisitely crafted laptop with gem-cut corners and chamfered edges in colors that complement the chassis, which comes in Natural Silver, Nightfall Black, or Poseidon Blue.
