HP seems to finally be upping its game with the Spectre X360

They also seem to be relying much more on Microsoft. Odd?

"But Mike Nash, an HP vice president in the personal systems group, said his company took a much more careful approach with the latest Spectre. Microsoft’s lab received prototypes of the x360 at the same time as HP, and HP submitted final system images to Microsoft well before the product was done. No other OEMs have done that.

Microsoft’s advice was invaluable too, Nash said. In optimizing for just a plain run-down test where the laptop sits idle with a live display, Microsoft was able to squeeze battery life from 11 hours to 16 hours."
