Apple - MacBook Air 15 M4 vs HP - Spectre x360 14 (2025)

The Spectre x360 14 (2025) edges ahead on the Mars Score (58.9 vs 63.1), but the 4.2-point gap is small enough that the right pick comes down to which spec advantages matter to you.

Pick the MacBook Air 15 M4 if your top frustration with your current device is running out of charge before the day ends — endurance is the lead spec here. The biggest gaps in its favor are cpu cores, claimed battery life, screen size.

Pick the Spectre x360 14 (2025) if the display is what you stare at all day — refresh rate, brightness, or sharpness is where the difference will be most visible. Its strongest claims are ram, storage, refresh rate, among others.

Both ship with comparable thunderbolt ports, backlit keyboard, so those specs don't separate the two — focus on the differences below.

Bottom line: there is no wrong answer here — match the spec advantages to how you actually use the product. The Mars Score parity tells you both are well-rounded; the differences are about trade-offs, not quality.
