The editors liked
Truly striking design and high-quality build
More power than you might expect
Good screen
The HP Spectre is remarkably thin while still managing to fit in Core i5 and Core i7 processors. The keyboard is excellent for such a slim body
And the bold design stands out in a sea of thin ultraportables
Super-thin - you'll barely notice it in your bag
Power
Storage
Battery life - it's a petite performance champ
We could type for days on that keyboard
Superb touchpad Lightweight
Superb design
USB-C-ness
So light
Thin
Yet sturdy design
Robust forward-looking connectivity
Surprisingly good keyboard
Great screen
The editors didn't like
Loud fans kick in at the drop of a hat
Limited connections
Battery life worse than some rivals
The lack of a touchscreen is a big omission for a premium Windows laptop
And the limited ports may force you to carry extra dongles and accessories
Thin, yet sturdy design, Robust forward-looking connectivity, Surprisingly good keyboard, Great screen
Core i7 performs more like a Core i5, Doesn't match the competition's battery life
System builders continue to sacrifice power for portability, in a trend that's concerning to those of prefer laptops with a little get-up-and-go under the hood. The HP pushes back on that decline in power by packing a competitive CPU into an expressive...

Abstract: HP's Spectre 13 is a mixture of innovation and repetition. Its singular obsession is a familiar one: make a laptop as thin as functionally possible. The result is a luxe machine worthy of your attention — but not necessarily your money.This glossy slab of...

If you can work with USB-C ports and a nontouch display, the HP Spectre offers a great design and excellent performance in the world's thinnest full-power laptop body...
Exceptionally good build quality with stealth piston hinge, Incredibly thin (10.4 mm) and light (1.1 kg), Comfortable keyboard, Excellent screen quality, No PWM used above 60% (95 cd/m2) brightness, Two out of three USB-C connectors are Gen 2 and support
Low browsing battery runtimes, Ineffective cooling system, gets warm under normal load, Can't utilize the full potential of the CPU, Only USB Type-C ports, Extremely hard to access the storage
If you are looking for a good alternative to the MacBook with more ports for your peripherals and a little bit more horsepower under the hood while still being exceptionally lightweight and thin, the HP Spectre 13 is an ideal choice. However, if you the d...

If you like, you must of course decide the HP Spectre. However, we look purely at the product HP has delivered a very beautiful piece of art, namely a laptop weighing just over a kilo, features a smooth Core i7 processor. That means that there are a numbe...

Beautiful Super-Thin Design, Carbon Fiber Composite, Gold Finished Machined Aluminum, Great All Around Performance, Excellent Keyboard, Nice Bright IPS Display, 3 USB-C Ports, Two With TB3
Cooling Fans Can Get A Little Noisy, Lack-Luster Battery Life, No SD Card Slot

Amazingly thin with a sleek, sexy metal design. Performance is not compromised in any way. Awesome keyboard features surprisingly good travel distance. Great display. Three USBC ports, two Thunderbolt 3 capable.
Battery life is average. No touchscreen option or ability to get more RAM.

Abstract: How thin is too thin, and is extreme style worth extreme compromise? The HP Spectre 13 is the latest notebook to ask those questions, chasing - and indeed besting - Apple's MacBook in millimeters of depth and raw power potential, though demanding concessi...

The HP Spectre 13 is one hell of a laptop. I really can't find much to fault it for outside of its lack of additional ports and the fact that the gold trim on its back can pick up fingerprint smudges. Oh, and its god-awful webcam. Outside of those issues...

Super thin and super light, Comfortable keyboard, More ports and power than the MacBook
Small trackpad, Mediocre battery life, Tinny speakers, Hinge has limited rotation
