Dell's USB-C external battery pack, for instance, gave me nearly three extra hours of juice. USB-C charging: The new Spectre x360 can charge from either of its USB-C/Thunderbolt 3 ports on the right side, which meant I could use USB-C chargers from other companies as long as they provided enough power.That's great battery life either way, you'll only find a few machines with longer runtimes. Battery life: We actually got an extra 1 hour, 20 minutes of battery life in our streaming video test (over 9 hours in all), but the same 6 to 6.5 hours of real-world use as the previous model.I actually enjoyed listening to music on the Spectre, and I can't say that about many thin laptops. They can sound a little flat, but they're loud and clear. Speakers: The Spectre x360 now has four Bang & Olufsen branded speakers (the audio company "consults" on the audio, but doesn't design or build the speakers), with two of them pointing upward so audio no longer gets muffled by my lap.The cursor doesn't jump around when typing. Not MacBook-level for two-finger scrolling or pinch-to-zoom, but better than many Windows laptops. Touchpad: A wide panel of smooth glass, which is easy to use.Plus, new dedicated Home, Page Up, Page Down and End buttons on the right make navigating documents easier. Keyboard: The backlit keyboard is slightly slimmer than the previous model, but still comfortable to type on.This new one had a subtle curve that smooths them out. Wrist rests: Previous versions of the Spectre x360 - like many thin metal laptops - had rough edges that dug into my wrists after a while. ![]() ![]() The hinges feel smooth and keep the screen where I put it, and I love the way the chromed edges gleam. This new one, now just 13.8mm thick, doesn't bend even a little when I try to twist it.
