Our Verdict

HP Spectre x360 14 (2024)

Apple MacBook Air 15 (2024)

The HP Spectre x360 14 (2024) and the Apple MacBook Air 15 (2024) are both high-end general productivity laptops offering a premium user experience. However, they're quite different, as the HP is a 14-inch 2-in-1 convertible, while the MacBook is a 15-inch clamshell model. The HP is more versatile, as its form factor allows you to use the device as a tablet, and its OLED display is arguably better for media consumption, as it can produce deeper blacks. The HP's OLED display flickers at 480Hz, which might bother those sensitive to flickering.
