The HP Spectre x360 13-aw screen assembly in gold is now available at Mascom International for KSh 29,500, ready to bring a 13-aw0000, 13-aw1000, or 13-aw2000 convertible back to a full working display. This gold-finish unit replaces a cracked, dim, lined, or dead screen with the 13.3-inch touch panel your laptop shipped with.Mascom International stocks the HP Spectre x360 13-aw screen assembly at our Nairobi CBD store, Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street. Buy the part over the counter, or have our repair desk fit it while you wait.
The HP Spectre x360 13-aw screen assembly suits repair technicians, IT support desks, and Spectre owners across Kenya who need the correct top section rather than a mismatched panel. Owners of this convertible often crack the glass in a packed bag, catch the lid on a pen, or take a knock on a matatu commute. Others watch the image fade, flicker, or fill with coloured lines after years of daily use. A wrong panel loses touch, pen input, or the gold trim that matches the rest of the shell. This assembly returns the original resolution, finish, and full touch the 13-aw left the factory with.
Where most Nairobi electronics shops stock only common laptop panels, Mascom International sources the exact top assembly the Spectre x360 13-aw needs, including the gold finish. Repair shops across Kenya tell us the hardest part of a Spectre job is finding the right assembly at a fair price. We hold it in stock and test each panel before it leaves the counter. The HP Spectre x360 13-aw screen assembly reaches customers in all 47 counties through pay-on-arrival delivery, so technicians in Nakuru, Eldoret, and Kisumu order without paying first. Walk in to Kimathi Street to inspect the part, or order for delivery today.
Common Questions About the HP Spectre x360 13-aw screen assembly
Does this gold assembly match my exact HP Spectre x360 13-aw?
It fits the HP Spectre x360 13-aw0000, 13-aw1000, and 13-aw2000 convertible series once the panel type and finish match your unit. Check the base sticker first it reads 13-aw0xxx, 13-aw1xxx, or 13-aw2xxx, for example 13-aw2003dx. The gold finish should also match your keyboard deck and hinge colour, so send a photo of both the sticker and the closed lid. Our Nairobi CBD desk confirms the model, panel grade, and finish against your serial before you pay, either in store or on WhatsApp.
Which panel does my 13-aw use, and how do I know FHD from OLED?
The 13-aw shipped in three panels: a 1920 x 1080 FHD IPS touch screen, a 1920 x 1080 OLED, and a 3840 x 2160 4K UHD OLED. OLED units show deeper blacks and higher contrast than the IPS version. To identify yours, check the original HP spec sheet by serial, or bring the laptop to our Kimathi Street desk. We match the correct panel to your build, since an FHD assembly will not restore an OLED unit and a 4K part costs more than the FHD version.
Why replace the whole top section instead of only the cracked glass?
On the Spectre x360 13-aw the touch glass, the panel, and the front bezel are bonded into one part. Splitting them cleanly outside a lab usually tears the digitizer or leaves the image patchy. Fitting the complete assembly restores glass, panel, touch, and pen in a single step, with far less risk than a glass-only repair. Bring the unit to our Nairobi CBD desk and we confirm whether the fault sits in the panel, the ribbon cable, or the mainboard before you spend on any part.
Can Mascom International fit the assembly, and how long does it take?
Yes. Our repair desk at Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street fits the gold assembly while you wait, or within the same day for busier jobs. The swap means opening the hinged lid, moving the assembly across, reseating the display cable, and calibrating touch. Done wrong, the cable tears or touch stops responding. Our technicians handle Spectre and other x360 convertibles regularly, so the job stays clean. Walk-in fitting runs Monday to Saturday, 9:00 AM to 7:00 PM.
Does the gold finish need to match the rest of my laptop?
For a clean look, yes. The 13-aw pairs a coloured lid and bezel with a matching keyboard deck and hinge, so a gold top section belongs on a gold-trimmed chassis. A silver or blue base with a gold lid will still function, but the two halves will not match when the laptop is closed. Send a photo of your closed unit and keyboard deck to our WhatsApp line, and we confirm the finish matches before dispatch. This check takes a minute and saves a return.
Is KSh 29,500 worth it against buying another laptop?
The KSh 29,500 covers the gold screen assembly itself, with fitting quoted separately by job. A working Spectre x360 with a broken screen is worth far more than the panel it needs. A replacement keeps your processor, your storage, your Windows setup, and your files exactly as they are, for a fraction of a new convertible in this class. We give you the part price and any fitting quote upfront, with no charges added after the work. Repairing the screen is the cheaper route when the rest of the machine still runs well.
How do you protect the screen during countrywide delivery?
Mascom International packs the HP Spectre x360 13-aw screen assembly in rigid protection, since a display cracks under point pressure in transit. The part travels flat, cushioned, and boxed to survive courier handling to any of the 47 counties. Nairobi and its environs receive same-day delivery, other major towns within one business day, and outer counties within two to three days. You inspect the packaging before paying under our pay-on-arrival model. Technicians in Kisumu, Nakuru, Eldoret, Nyeri, and Thika order this way often, and confirm timing on +254 708 852 521 first.
What does the 6-month warranty cover on a replacement screen?
The gold assembly carries a 6-month Mascom International warranty on manufacturing defects, such as dead pixels, backlight failure, or touch faults that show up under normal use. The cover does not include fresh cracks, drops, or liquid contact after fitting, since those are handling issues rather than part faults. If a covered fault appears after we fit the panel, bring the laptop back to our Nairobi CBD desk and we sort it directly. Keep your receipt, as it links the part to any claim you make later.
Technical Specifications
Panel Grades and Screen Sharpness
- 13.3-inch diagonal fits the 13-aw chassis exactly, aligning mounting points and cable routing without changes.
- FHD IPS build carries 1920 x 1080 pixels, about 166 per inch, holding colour steady at wide angles.
- 4K UHD OLED build carries 3840 x 2160 pixels, about 331 per inch, for fine text and detailed images.
- OLED panels reach a 100,000:1 contrast figure with True Black HDR, showing deeper blacks than the IPS version.
- 400-nit brightness with anti-reflection on OLED units keeps the screen readable near windows and outdoors.
- 16:9 aspect ratio and 60Hz refresh suit office work, browsing, streaming, and creative tasks the Spectre handles.
Gold Finish and Outer Shell
- Gold-finished aluminium lid and bezel match the Spectre x360 13-aw two-tone gem-cut design when closed.
- Colour-matched top section keeps the closed laptop looking factory-correct, not patched with a mismatched shade.
- Narrow bezel frames the panel the way HP set it, without wide borders that mark aftermarket copies.
- IR camera cutout at the top edge preserves the Windows Hello face-unlock the 13-aw shipped with.
- CNC aluminium frame holds the thin Spectre profile once the assembly sits in place.
Fingertip and Stylus Response
- Multi-point capacitive touch returns full finger control for tapping, scrolling, pinch-zoom, and on-screen notes.
- Bonded digitizer glass sits flush with the panel, keeping touch accurate with no air gap between layers.
- Active pen input works on builds that originally shipped with it, restoring handwriting and sketch input.
- Glass front layer balances touch sensitivity against knocks and daily wear around the hinge line.
- Factory-matched touch controller tracks the fingertip once calibration finishes after fitting.
Serial-Matched Fitment
- Fits HP Spectre x360 13-aw0000, 13-aw1000, and 13-aw2000 convertibles built between 2019 and 2021.
- Confirm the base sticker reads 13-aw0xxx, 13-aw1xxx, or 13-aw2xxx before ordering to avoid a mismatch.
- Panel grade must match your unit, since FHD and OLED assemblies use different panels and pricing.
- Not compatible with the earlier 13-ap or later 13-aq generations, which carry their own panels and connectors.
- Our desk verifies model, panel, and finish against your serial when you visit or send the sticker on WhatsApp.
Swap Steps and Safe Handling
- Fitting needs the hinged lid opened, a step best left to a technician to protect the display cable.
- The display cable seats into a fragile mainboard connector that tears if forced or angled on refitting.
- Static-safe handling matters, as the bonded panel and touch electronics react to rough or charged contact.
- Touch calibration after fitting confirms the pointer tracks the fingertip across the whole surface.
- Our Kimathi Street technicians finish the swap and test image, touch, and pen before returning the laptop.
Courier Protection and Upkeep
- Rigid packaging shields the panel through countrywide transit, since screens crack under point pressure.
- Store the part flat and clear of any weight until fitting, as edge stress starts hairline cracks.
- Clean the surface with a dry microfibre cloth only, protecting the glass coating and touch layer.
- Handle the assembly by the bezel, never by pressing the panel face, to avoid backlight marks.
- Keep the gold lid clear of keys and hard objects in a bag to protect the finish before fitting.

Warranty
The HP Spectre x360 13-aw screen assembly carries a 6-month Mascom International warranty covering manufacturing defects, including dead pixels, backlight failure, and touch faults under normal use.
