Aside from reshuffling its top management, HP's China subsidiary will also give workers financial incentives.

The competition for ultimate ultrabook dominance is getting very intense as Hewlett-Packard jumped right into the center of attention with its newest Spectre x350 Multimode Ultrabook. Many analysts say that HP's newest device can give Apple MacBook Pro and Lenovo Yoga Pro a run for their money.

An official statement from HP says that the Spectre x360 has four different modes for optimum usage whether for work, play and rest. The Spectre has a 13.3-inch display screen and can hold resolution of up to 2,560x1,440. HP added that the Spectre's battery can sustain continued usage of up to 12.5 hours in just a single charge.

The Spectre will be running in Windows 8.1 and the 13.3-inched WLED IPS touchscreen can have Full or Quad HD capability depending on the model. Both variants have a 1080p webcam situated at the top part of the display. The Spectre's Quad HD model has a feature called the Panel Self Refresh; a feature that freezes static images and only refreshes onscreen pixels when needed which in theory can significantly reduce power usage and prolong battery life.

HP's Spectre also has a full 360 degree hinge which allows it to be used a traditional laptop or convert it into a tablet, according to GizMag.

Under the Spectre's hood aluminum body HP has managed to integrate some pretty impressive s specs. The Spectre has two variants depending on processor; one has the Intel Core i5 fifth-generation chip and the other has the i7 processor with integrated Intel HD graphics card, according to Toms Hardware. To support this processing power, HP throws in 8GB of memory and 512GB of mSATA SSD internal storage.

The Spectre has Bluetooth 4.0, dual band 802.11ac Wi-Fi connectivity, three USB 3.0 ports. HP also added an HDMI port and DisplayPort monitor but users can also use the built-in WiDI technology in order to wirelessly stream the device's contents into a compatible device.

The Spectre x360 can now be ordered directly from HP and prices start at $899.99.
