(The downside is that the tablet-ready programs are often less powerful to keep the performance demands down.) However, the iPad Pro’s lighter operating system and tablet-optimized applications will run faster than similar programs on the Spectre since they will demand fewer resources than Windows 11 applications and operations. In general, both devices are blazing fast when it comes to simple tasks like web browsing and word processing, and both can handle programs like Photoshop and Excel without hassle.

Across our benchmarks, both the iPad Pro’s M1 processor and the Spectre’s Intel Core i7-1255U processor scored about the same, although the M1 did have a lead up to 9% on some benchmarks.

(You’ll need to buy one separately for the iPad.) Both devices share a magnetic strip to store a stylus on the side of the display.īoth options are well matched for performance.įor raw performance, the iPad Pro and the Spectre x360 14 are well-matched. The Spectre x360 14 also has the ability to stand on its own since it’s a 2-in-1 with a built-in keyboard and trackpad. On the other hand, the Spectre x360 14 has more ports (two Thunderbolt 4 ports, a USB-A port, and a headphone jack versus the iPad Pro’s single Thunderbolt 4 port). The iPad Pro’s rear camera also has a LiDAR sensor, which you can use to make 3D scans of objects, for instance. Photos and video look sharp on the iPad Pro thanks to the fast, high-resolution sensor and lens. While the HP Spectre’s webcam has a 5MP sensor, the iPad Pro has an f/1.8 12MP wide lens and f/2.4 10MP ultra-wide lens in the rear and an f/2.4 12MP ultra-wide camera in the front. However, the iPad Pro has an additional rear-facing camera and better camera technology overall. Both devices have Face ID login, a fingerprint reader, and a front-facing camera.

We'll be in touch soon.īoth the iPad Pro and the Spectre x360 14 are chock-full of features.
