HP’s new Spectre notebook earned the “world’s thinnest” title, coming in at just 10.4 mm thick and 2.45 pounds, and the new laptop isn’t flimsy. The amazingly thin device features a 13.3-inch edge-to-edge Full HD IPS screen with a Gorilla Glass 4 barrier.
The Spectre is also built out of machined aluminum and carbon fiber—the same materials found in today’s luxury cars—making it even stronger and more rigid than other laptops.
The new HP laptop is so thin thanks to a specially designed piston hinge that folds into itself and recesses into the notebook as it closes.
The Spectre will come in two editions featuring either an Intel Core i5-6200U processor or an Intel i7-6500U processor. These models will come with 8GB of RAM, up to 512GB of PCIe solid-state storage, and a battery life just shy of 10 hours. Spectre will also have built-in Bang & Olufsen speakers and comes with three USB Type-C ports, any of which can charge the computer.
HP will make Spectre available for pre-purchase on April 25, and it will be available in stores nationwide on May 22. The i5 processor model will cost $1,170, while the i7 model has a $1,250 price tag.
