The HP Spectre x360 15-inch 2-in-1 was HP's flagship large-screen premium convertible, before the line was succeeded by the 16-inch model. Built around a gem-cut aluminum chassis with a 360-degree hinge, a 15.6-inch touch display, and a bundled pen, it folds flat into a tablet or props up for tent and media modes. The 15-inch Spectre shipped across several generations with very different processors, graphics, and display panels, so this page covers the full family. Because graphics tier, display type, processor generation, memory, and storage all vary widely, your exact configuration drives its final resale price. Use the guide below to identify your generation, then select your components with our tool above to view an instant cash offer for your exact device.

Identifying your generation

Flip the laptop over and read the model string near the regulatory markings — the 15-inch Spectre x360 uses a generation prefix right after "15-". You can also press Win + R, type msinfo32, and read the System Model and processor fields. The CPU generation is the clearest tell: 10th-gen means a df or early eb, and 11th-gen means a later eb.

15-df series (2019–2020)

  • 10th-gen Intel Core (Comet Lake), e.g. i7-10510U or i7-8750H carryover builds
  • Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce MX250, or GTX 1650 / 1650 Ti
  • First generation to offer a 4K UHD OLED panel; adds Thunderbolt 3

15-eb series (2020–2022)

  • 10th- or 11th-gen Intel Core, e.g. i7-10750H or i7-11390H
  • Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce MX330, GTX 1650 Ti, or Intel Iris Xe (11th-gen)
  • 4K UHD IPS or OLED; Thunderbolt 4 on 11th-gen SKUs; dual-fan cooling on later builds

Shared across all 15-inch models

  • 15.6-inch multitouch convertible display with pen support
  • 360-degree dual hinges: laptop, tablet, tent, and media modes
  • Gem-cut aluminum chassis (Dark Ash Silver / Poseidon Blue / Nightfall Black)
  • Bundled HP active pen and Windows Hello security

Core hardware configurations

Processor (CPU)

  • 15-df (2019–2020): Intel Core i7-10510U or i7-8750H
  • 15-eb (2020–2022): Intel Core i7-10750H or i7-11390H (11th gen)

Graphics (GPU)

  • 15-df: GeForce MX250, GTX 1650 / 1650 Ti
  • 15-eb: GeForce MX330, GTX 1650 Ti, or Intel Iris Xe
  • Discrete graphics tier is the single highest-value differentiator across all generations

Memory (RAM)

  • 8GB or 16GB DDR4 across all generations
  • Soldered (onboard) — not user-upgradable

Storage

  • M.2 PCIe NVMe Solid State Drive
  • 256GB, 512GB, 1TB, or 2TB capacities
  • Some early builds paired the SSD with Intel Optane memory

Display & audio

Display

All 15-inch models use a 15.6-inch 16:9 multitouch convertible panel with pen support. Most shipped with a 4K UHD (3840 × 2160) IPS display; starting with the 15-df, HP offered a premium 4K UHD OLED panel with deeper blacks and wider color gamut. OLED configurations carry meaningfully higher resale value but should be checked for image retention.

Audio

Quad-speaker system tuned by Bang & Olufsen, with dedicated tweeters and woofers for full-range sound in media and tent modes.

Ports & connectivity

Following the Spectre's signature design, the power button and a USB-C port sit in an angled rear corner for clean cable routing in any of the convertible's modes.

Typical layout
  • 2× USB-C (Thunderbolt 3 on df/eb; Thunderbolt 4 on 11th-gen eb)
  • 1× USB-A 3.x (drop-jaw hinge)
  • 1× HDMI
  • 1× microSD card reader
  • 1× 3.5mm headphone/microphone combo jack
Wireless & Input
  • Wi-Fi (Wi-Fi 6 AX201 on later builds) and Bluetooth 5
  • Included HP active/tilt pen
  • IR camera + fingerprint reader for Windows Hello; webcam kill switch

Wi-Fi 6 (later builds) Bluetooth 5

Battery, build & more

Keyboard & touchpad

Backlit full-size keyboard with a precision touchpad and dedicated fingerprint reader.

Convertible design

360-degree dual hinges enable laptop, tablet, tent, and media modes across all generations, with the signature dual-tone gem-cut aluminum chassis.

Weight

Roughly 2.0–2.2 kg (≈4.4–4.8 lb) depending on generation and GPU.

Pen & extras

Frequently asked questions

01 How do I tell which 15-inch Spectre x360 generation I own?
Flip the laptop over and read the model string near the regulatory markings — the prefix after "15-" identifies the generation: df (2019–2020, 10th-gen) or eb (2020–2022, 10th/11th-gen). The processor confirms it — open Win + R → msinfo32 and check the System Model and processor fields. Check our guide to finding your laptop's model number for a full walkthrough. Entering the correct model ensures the most accurate offer and avoids any discrepancy at inspection.
02 Can I trade in a Spectre x360 15 with cosmetic wear or a faulty hinge?
Yes. We purchase laptop hardware in all operational states. Whether your convertible runs flawlessly, has a cracked or burned-in OLED screen, a loose or stiff 360-degree hinge, a worn battery, or touchpad and keyboard faults, selecting the matching condition and functionality options above will lock in a firm cash value. OLED screen burn-in, if present, is worth disclosing honestly so your quote holds at inspection.
03 Should I remove my NVMe SSD or wipe it before boxing?
We encourage backing up your files to an external drive or cloud storage and signing out of your Windows and HP accounts before packaging. You do not need to remove the M.2 SSD yourself; our technical team performs certified, multi-pass data sanitation on all incoming drives. Review our detailed protocols on the data erasure protocols information portal.
04 Which configurations raise my Spectre x360 15 trade-in value the most?
Generation matters first: a newer 11th-gen 15-eb values above a 10th-gen 15-df at equivalent specs, thanks to its newer platform and Thunderbolt 4 support. Within any generation, two options matter most — a stronger discrete GPU (a GTX 1650 Ti over an MX-series chip) commands a higher payout, and an OLED display values above the IPS panel. From there, 16GB of memory and a high-capacity 1TB–2TB SSD each add to your final offer, and including the original pen helps preserve value.
05 Should I include the charger and pen, and what is the payout timeline?
Including the original USB-C charger and the active pen helps preserve your offer — indicate above whether you're sending them. Once your Spectre reaches our diagnostics lab and our team completes functional and cosmetic testing, payment is approved within two business days via PayPal, Venmo, Zelle, CashApp, or a mailed physical check. Your prepaid shipping label is completely free and fully insured.
