The HP high-end consumer laptop lineup gets a set of updates, as the Spectre x360 now features a larger battery and a new edge-to-edge display, while the Envy 13 gets a bigger battery.

HP SpectreThe Spectre x360 retains the convertible design allowing one to swivel the display behind the keyboard for tablet-style use, but the edge-to-edge display narrows the design by no less than 11.8mm. In addition it also gets a quad speaker array and a battery HP claims lasts for up to 15 hours on a single charge, a 25% improvement over the previous version.

Available configurations include 7th generation Core i5 or i7 processors, optional Nvidia GTX 950M GPU, up to 16GB RAM and up to 1TB SSD storage.

Meanwhile the Envy 13 has a battery the company says is 28% larger than the previous version, giving it 14 hours of use on a single charge. The laptop comes with either HD or quad-HD display together with 7th generation Core i5 or i7 processors, up to 16GB RAM and 1TB storage inside an aluminium and magnesium casing.

Also getting a boost is the Envy 27-- the 27-inch All-in-One PC features a quad-HD IPS touchscreen (a 4K version is forthcoming, HP says) with a 9.5mm bezel and a pedestal design. The base carries a choice of either Intel Core i5 or i7 CPU with Nvidia GTX950M graphics, while the display features an integrated quad-speaker soundbar.

A final HP announcement involves the Envy Display, a 27-inch 4K monitor complete with IPS panel with 178-degree vewing angles, 99% sRGB colour gamut, dual HDMI, dual DisplayPort and a USB-C port.
