HP should get a shout-out for going from literal brick PSUs to this lighter, curved design with a cloth braid. (HP uses the same AC charger design on its thin, light, and leather-wrapped Spectre Folio.)

The HP Spectre x360 13 sports two Thunderbolt 3 ports on the right side, plus a microSD port and analog headset port. The clever use of the corner allows the HP to angle the cable away from the laptop when in use and doesn’t interfere with how the screen folds. For weight, our scale put it 2 pounds, 14 ounces, which is a few ounces heavier than Dell’s XPS 13 9380.
