The HP Spectre x360 15-ch011nr (Spectre X360 15 Series) 1TB / 16GB is HP's 2018 laptop featuring a height x width x depth (in mm): 19.3 x 359 x 250 ( = 0.76 x 14.13 x 9.84 in) display, the Intel Core i7-8550U 4c/8t 4 x 1.8 - 4 GHz, Kaby Lake Refresh chipset. At AED 1,149 in the UAE and ₹26,990 in India, it sits firmly in the budget tier.
The HP Spectre x360 15-ch011nr excels with its Intel Core i7-8550U and NVIDIA GeForce MX150 with 2GB GDDR5 VRAM, delivering smooth multitasking and light gaming, while the 16GB DDR4 RAM and 84Wh battery sustain 8–9 hours of mixed use. Its 360-degree hinge and 1TB SSD make it ideal for digital artists sketching directly on-screen or professionals needing portable storage for large files. The Thunderbolt 3 port enables fast external display or SSD connectivity, and the fingerprint reader adds quick logins. Its weakness is thermal throttling under sustained GPU loads—the MX150 drops clock speeds after 15 minutes of rendering or gaming, limiting prolonged performance. Weight at 2.08kg is hefty for a 2-in-1. In UAE at AED 1149, it’s good value because you get a premium build, large SSD, and Thunderbolt 3 at half the cost of newer models. In India at ₹26990, it’s overpriced—newer Ryzen 5 or Intel i5 laptops with 512GB SSD and better cooling exist for similar cost.

Common questions about the Pavilion 15 (2018).
It is not recommended for most buyers in 2026 due to outdated hardware and limited software support, even though the 1TB storage and 16GB RAM remain usable for basic tasks. The build quality is excellent, but newer models offer better efficiency and security features at similar prices.
The price in UAE is AED 1149. It is available through select retailers and online marketplaces, though stock may be limited as it is a discontinued model.
The price in India is ₹26990. It can be found on major e-commerce platforms, but availability is low since the model is no longer in active production.
The camera delivers 720p HD video with decent clarity in well-lit environments. It performs adequately for video calls but struggles in low light and lacks advanced features like facial recognition optimization.
The battery lasts up to 10 hours with typical mixed usage like web browsing and document work. Heavy tasks such as video editing or gaming reduce this significantly, and battery health may degrade over time due to age.
