I have run the HP Spectre x360 and MacBook Pro 13 M1 through 14+ creator focused benchmarks covering video editing in Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve, motion design, graphic design, photo editing, and more.

Jumping right into the build quality both laptops have very different appearances. First off I am not surprised to see the MacBook Pro M1 with its continued aluminum finish and silver apple logo. Although I must say I sure do miss the glowing apple logo. I am guessing they removed that to make the laptop slightly thinner and lighter.

The HP Spectre x360 on the other hand comes with stunning gold-colored aluminum edges and hinges plus an all-aluminum chassis. It really stands out from all laptops in its category and compared to the MacBook Pro it gives it a run for its money.. Both look great, but I must say the HP Spectre is quite a bit fancier while the MacBook Pro tackles that more, well, conservative look.

Both have solid build quality, but the MacBook Pro stands out to be built better overall, as they have become known for over the past 25 years.

As I open the lid on each of these laptops I am able to do so with one hand. The hinges are smooth and strong. There is only a slight bit of screen flex on the Spectre x360, which is fantastic, while the MacBook Pro M1 has none due to its singular long hinge spanning the entire bottom bezel of the screen. Both are solid and sturdy, but once again Apple takes the prize for build and sturdiness.

What about the ventilation on each laptop? The Spectre x360 has generous vents for cooling the laptop. It has vents on the bottom cover, along the top of the keyboard deck, and side panels. This is very different from the MacBook Pro, which only has one vent behind the Keyboard deck.

The 2020 MacBook Pro M1 comes with a 13.3 inch Retina display that can reach 303 nits at full brightness. The M1 pulls off some solid color accuracy snagging a color gamut range of 100% sRGB - 89% Adobe RGB - 100% DCI-P3.

The HP Spectre x360 comes with a 15.6 inch FHD display that can reach 362 nits at full brightness with a color gamut range of 97% sRGB - 77% Adobe RGB - 79% DCI-P3 all at an average Delta E of 1.37.

Concerning the on the go capability of these two laptops the:
HP Spectre x360 weighs in at 2.9 Lbs at a thickness of 0.67 inches
Where as the MacBook Pro M1 weighs in at 3.0 Lbs at a thickness of 0.61 inches

Concerning battery life the
The HP Spectre x360 will get roughly 10 Hours Web browsing / 5 - 7 hours Design and Video Editing out of its 72.9 Wh battery.
Whereas the MacBook Pro M1 will get roughly 14 Hours Web browsing / 8 - 9 hours Design and Video Editing with its 58.2 Wh battery

The HP Spectre x360 I am reviewing comes with:
CPU: Intel Core i7-1165G7 (4 Cores 8 Threads)
GPU: Intel Iris Xe
RAM: 16GB DDR4
Storage: 512GB SSD

Whereas the 2020 MacBook Pro M1 comes with:
CPU: Apple M1 (8 Cores 8 Threads)
GPU: 8 Core GPU + 16 Core Neural Engine
RAM: 8GB DDR4

Let’s talk about my recommendations for each one of these laptops. If you are a hard-core 4k or 6k video editor, then without a doubt, I would steer you away from both of these laptops and check out my head to head review of the Zephyrus G14 and MacBook Pro M1. The New MacBook Pro M1 simply does not have the power and ability nor does the x360. However if you are considering either of these laptops for Photoshop work such as photo editing, digital art, or even graphic design work in Indesign or Illustrator then the x360 is great due to its fully articulating screen and touch pen capabilities. Oh, and unmatched styling.

If you’re someone that occasionally conducts 4k edits, and mainly finds themselves developing, designing, editing photos, or conducting digital art, then the MacBook Pro will be perfect. It can handle what you throw at it and it has a great color accurate display. Oh plus, you can be on the go longer with the legendary 15ish hours of battery life. And of course your inside Apple’s eco system, if that’s what you’re looking for.
