    HP spectre 13 vs X360 vs. XPS 13

    Hey, I'll be getting a new laptop soon (windows based). I'm choosing between those 3. I don't really need the 2 in 1 thing that x360 offers - I'd use it just like a regular laptop. 8th gen processors are a must. x360 costs a little less than the other two. Is it as good though?
