Surface Pro-like performance

Surface Pro-like performance
Welcome to a Medical Battery specialist of the HP Battery
Like the Surface Pro line, but don’t like its price? HP thinks it has the answer for folks who can only afford a Surface 3 but really want a Surface Pro 3. The company’s newly announced Spectre 12 X2 competes directly with Microsoft’s Surface Pro line but at a more aggressive price.
The style and shape will seem similar of course: It’s a Surface clone. The Spectre 12 X2 features a 12-inch, 10-point touch screen, active pen support, and a keyboard that attaches using magnets and even snaps onto the tablet to improve lap use.
There’s a lot of key differences between the now displaced Surface Pro 3 and HP's new Spectre though. The most important one is the CPU. The Spectre uses Intel’s latest Skylake-based Core m3 or Core m7 CPU. That should give it a leg up in battery with like Primedic DM30 Battery, Primedic DM10 Battery, Medtronic LifePak 9 Battery, Medtronic LifePak 9 A Battery, Medtronic LifePak 9 P Battery, Medtronic LP 9 Battery, Medtronic LP9P Battery, Physio-Control 803704-03 Battery, Physio-Control LifePak 9 Battery, GE CardioServ Battery, Agilent M1758A Battery, HP M1723B Batterylife and acoustics and maybe even performance. I’ll discuss that more later.
What makes the Spectre 12 X2 a Surface clone rather than a standard “2-in-1” or detachable? Everyone will have opinions on that but I think it’s the kickstand. Detachable devices have been around for some time from several different vendors but the Surface is fairly unique with its kickstand.
HP’s take—and by the way, it is indeed HP as in "post-split, the PC company will no longer be allowed to use the name Hewlett-Packard" HP—on the kickstand is to use a U-shaped metal bracket. The kickstand itself requires you to slide a switch to pop it out, rather than just pulling it out like on a Surface.
HP said it did this to mostly increase battery life; the U-shape means it doesn’t have to mill more material out of the back of the body. That maybe only 1 or 2 millimeters, but that extra space can be dedicated to more cooling or a bigger battery. For the record, the Surface Pro 3 is about 9.1mm thick and packs a 42.2 watt hour battery. The Spectre is 8mm and also packs a 42 watt hour battery.
Battery life, the company says, is rated at 10 hours using the latest version of MobileMark 2014. That’s the gold standard for battery testing of a PC in a realistic-productivity test. However, there’s also a feeling that MobileMark 2014 is too light of a workload. We’ll find out when we actually get a Spectre 12 X2 in for testing.
HP also veers from Microsoft’s use of a higher resolution panel, which can affect battery life. While the Surface Pro 3 features a 2160x1440 screen, the Spectre’s is 1920x1280.
