HP officially debuts what it calls the “world’s thinnest laptop,” introducing the sleek and powerful Spectre 13.
HP Inc has unveiled a new premium laptop that the company claims is the world’s thinnest at just 10.4mm, while still offering the performance of Intel Core i5 and Core i7 processors along with a claimed all-day battery life, making it an attractive option for mobile executives.
Gorilla Glass will protect the display, while a hybrid battery promises to provide up to nine and a half hours of battery life on a single charge. The Spectre 13 also features three USB Type-C ports, and two of those also support Thunderbolt so users can connect the laptop to top-notch monitors.
“A beautiful Full HD edge-to-edge display, Intel Core i processors coupled with Bang & Olufsen sound and a impressive thin design, HP amazing engineers set a new standard with the all new Spectre.”
HP describes the Spectre as being “more artisan than manufactured” in a promo video. The 13.3in Full HD display is bonded directly to a Gorilla Glass 4 layer for protection, a move that makes the display brighter.
The Spectre 13 further comes with a carbon fiber bottom that not only allows for that impressive thinness, but also provides durability, while keeping the device lightweight at just 2.45 pounds.
The HP Spectre 13 starts at $1,170 (Core i5), but prices will vary depending on configuration. Users can get up to 8 GB of RAM and up to 512 GB of SSD storage. The laptop will go up for preorder online on HP’s website and BBY.com on April 25, while Best Buy will have it in-store from May 22 starting at $1,250.
