Skinniest laptop introduced by HP
Posted on: 06/Apr/2016 12:36:33 PM
There is a big market for premium, lightweight, and fully capable laptops among mobile professionals and others.
The Spectre is built from carbon fiber and aluminum with a black and copper color scheme. The full HD IPS display is shielded by edge-to-edge Gorilla Glass and rests on piston-driven hinges, with dual Bang and Olufsen speakers flanking the backlit keyboard and glass track pad.
Rather than the Intel Core M processors commonly found in the new breed of ultralight devices like last year`s Macbook, HP has managed to squeeze Intel Core i5 or i7 processor into the Spectre`s 2.45 lb (1,111 g) body. Partnered with up to 8 GB of memory and up to 512 GB of storage, this should offer pro-level users a little more processing grunt.
When it comes to plugging in, HP is leaping aboard the USB Type C train with three ports, all of which support charging, data transfer and external displays, while two support Thunderbolt at speeds of up to 40 gb/s. Battery life is rated at nine hours.
The Spectre will be available for pre-order on April 25 and will be priced at US 1,170 dollars.
