HP Spectre x360 14 (2024) vs Microsoft Surface Laptop 7th Edition 15 (2024)

The Microsoft Surface Laptop 7th Edition 15 (2024) and the HP Spectre x360 14 (2024) are both premium Windows laptops. However, they're very different, as the Surface Laptop is a more traditional clamshell model, while the Spectre is a 2-in-1 convertible with a 360-degree hinge. Both laptops provide an amazing user experience, so the choice depends on what you care about most. The Surface Laptop's Snapdragon SoC is faster in heavy, multi-threaded workloads than the Spectre's Intel Meteor Lake CPUs, and they're also more efficient, giving the Surface Laptop significantly longer battery life. That said, the Snapdragon SoC is an ARM processor, so you must ensure that the apps you use have a native ARM version or run well enough through emulation. Otherwise, it's best to go with the Spectre.
