The two clocks

A device dies twice: once when the hardware wears out, once when the manufacturer stops patching it. Whichever arrives first is the one that actually ends its life. For the HP Spectre x360, that is the manufacturer’s security-update cutoff.

Lifespan by how hard you use it

Usage moves the hardware clock, not the security one. Worked hard, the HP Spectre x360 wears out before its patches run out, so how you use it genuinely changes when it needs replacing.

Is the HP Spectre x360 worth repairing?

Battery
~$125
Screen
~$230
Replace
~$1050

A HP Spectre x360 still has about 3 years of supported life, so a $125 battery works out to roughly $4 per remaining month — well under what replacing it now costs per month over the same span. Run your own numbers in the valuation tool.
