    Before there was a Surface Book, there was the Spectre x360. Though the laptop is sold by HP and has HP's name on it, it was designed in close collaboration with Microsoft, which had input on everything from the touchpad to the WiFi radio. The result was a beautiful, well-performing machine with one clean Windows build -- and it gave us an early glimpse at what Microsoft could accomplish when it set about designing a laptop. The 13-inch x360 was one of our favorite laptops of 2015, and now HP is back with a larger model. The 15-inch version ($1,150 and up) promises to be everything its little brother was, complete with a 360-degree touchscreen and the same unibody aluminum design. Except, you know, it offers more screen real estate, along with a higher-res 4K option. And with it weighing in at four pounds, you'll be hard-pressed to find something this size that's this thin and light.
