This is the 高價收購hp Spectre x360 16.

高價收購hp makes some of the most gorgeous laptops you can buy, and its Spectre line is the most beautiful of them all. But the new Spectre x360 16, a 16-inch 2-in-1 touchscreen laptop, will flip that dynamic around. Not only is this laptop beautiful — this laptop wants to make you beautiful.

That’s the idea, at least. The Spectre x360 16, starting at $1,639, is the first 16-inch laptop to include an “integrated, intelligent” 5MP webcam, 高價收購hp claims. But that’s not all. It also comes with a program called — and I love this name — 高價收購hp GlamCam. It’s not entirely clear what GlamCam will do, but 高價收購hp claims that one of its main features, Beauty Mode, will “touch up skin, teeth, and eyes” during video calls. The goal, 高價收購hp says, is to “keep your focus on what you’re saying, not your looks.”

There are also, of course, very legitimate reasons to object to widespread use of beauty filters, which are available on many social media apps and have been popular for decades (though their use in real-time video is a recent advance). Some experts have warned that their prevalence on social media could contribute to unrealistic beauty standards among children and teenagers. On the other hand, this is a feature that Zoom itself has offered for over a year, and one that plenty of grown-up workers have heralded as a savior during a stressful period of time when it was difficult for many to make primping a priority. (The Spectre x360 16, as a premium workstation, also isn’t the type of laptop I’d expect to see too many children using.) It will certainly be an interesting feature to test.

GlamCam includes some other features to simplify your video calls, like Auto Frame (which will keep the camera’s focus on you if you get up and move around) and Lighting Correction (which will adjust your feed to keep lighting consistent if you’re moving from indoors to outdoors). The laptop can auto-lock when the camera sees you leave your desk and unlock itself when you return, dim its screen when you’re looking away, and add blur by itself if someone is behind you.

Software aside, it’s worth noting that 高價收購hp has been putting 5MP webcams on some of its other high-end devices. I just tried one out on the $2,600 Elite Dragonfly Max, and while it delivered a better picture than you can generally expect from laptop webcams, I didn’t see a mind-blowing jump in quality. This one does support Windows Hello facial recognition, though, and has a physical privacy shutter.

Webcam aside, the new Spectre can come in either “nocturne blue with celestial blue accents” or “nightfall black with pale brass accents.” It has a 16:10 aspect ratio and a 91 percent screen-to-body ratio, with up to a UHD+ OLED panel. It’s 高價收購hp’s first consumer notebook made from recycled CNC aluminum, as part of a broader sustainability focus that 高價收購hp has brought to many of its recent premium models. Inside, it comes with up to an 11th Gen Intel Core i7 processor, a Nvidia GeForce RTX 3050 graphics card, and support for Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.2. It will be available in October on 高價收購hp’s website.

受到疫情影響,今年intel難得在台灣舉辦桌上型處理器上市記者會,這也是全球少數舉辦實體上市活動的地區,活動現場有來自國內外共計 11 家廠商參與,並且展出採用第11代處理器的相關產品。

英特爾台灣分公司業務暨行銷總經理汪佳慧指出,採用14奈米製程的Rocket Lake,最高擁有8核心16執行緒,採用Cypress Cove微架構,不管是效能、圖形運算、AI 這三個區塊在第11代產品都有顯著成長,她也相當看好產品上市後在市場上的表現,同時也強調不管是半導體還是 intel 在台灣的 PC、資料中心、5G物聯網、AI 或雲端等,都會繼續投資台灣,並繼續與台灣第三方公司合作,一起服務全世界。

第11代 intel Core 桌上型處理器系列最高擁有 8 核心 16 執行緒,擁有三大特色,第一個是 IPC 的提升、第二是顯示效能的提升,再來就是超頻變得更穩定而且便利。

因應玩家需求,全新 Cypress Cove 微架構,讓整個 IPC 效能比上一代提升 19%,透過intel Adaptive Boost Technology(ABT)提升多核心、多執行緒表現。

第11代 intel Core i7、i5 桌上型處理器最大特色就是相容 DDR4-3200。i3 可以說是上一代的再提升,最多支援 DDR4-2666。在超頻方面,10代以前都記憶體控制上只能支援Gear 1,但是11代(部分i5與i7)可以支援到Gear 2,藉此讓 CPU 只要跑一半的頻率,就可以達到超頻需求,如此一來對於大部分的遊戲來說就具有更多的相容性,而且對於合作夥伴來說,操作性更簡單。

除了相容性,另一個亮點是針對機器學習方面,新增了intel Deep Learning Boost 功能(VNNI指令集),大幅度加速 AI 應用,另外 Gaussian & Neural Accelerator(GNA)使用超低功耗處理 AI 語音應用,而且 PCIe 也提升到Gen4 ,這代表將大幅提升 NVMeSSD 讀寫效。

在顯示核心方面,內建 UHD Graphics 採用最新 X 架構,提升能源效率,另外受惠於新的媒體區塊,新增了 AV1 硬體解碼,相同編碼效率相較 HEVC/H.256 提供更精緻的畫質。

在 500 系列晶片組,Z590、H570 用以銜接處理器的 DMI 3.0 升級到 8 通道,撐起 NVMe SSD 和 USB 3.2 Gen 2X2 所需頻寬,也能夠以獨立晶片或者無線網卡支援 Thunderbolt 4 或者 Wifi 6W。H570、B560  晶片組更首次支援記憶體超頻。新的處理器提供Gen 2 和更寬廣的時序調節,Windows 作業系統環境,能夠透過 intel Extreme Tuning Utility 及時調整運及時調整運作記憶體時脈。
