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

Gorgeous design and color scheme, Super thin, Bright screen, 3 USB-C ports (2 with Thunderbolt 3)
Below-average battery life, No traditional USB ports
HP's Spectre offers a snazzy, groundbreakingly thin design along with a brilliant screen, but weak endurance and high heat hold it back...

The thinnest laptop currently available, Nice price, Fast performance, Good battery life, Sharp design, Constructed with high-quality materials, Multiple USB-C ports with Thunderbolt 3
No traditional USB ports, 1080p display lacks touch technology
The HP Spectre 13 combines a thin-as-you-can-get build with top-notch performance, all at a reasonable cost. Connectivity is limited to USB-C, but there's still a lot to like about this well-rounded, well-designed ultraportable...

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...
versatile dual USB Type-C Gen. 2 + Thunderbolt 3 ports, comfortable backlit keyboard with firm tactile feedback, ultrathin, lightweight, portable, and luxurious design, high quality bright display; deep colors and contrast, included USB Type-C to Type-A
case rigidity is a step down compared to XPS 13 and MacBook Air 13, very limited connectivity options without use of dongles, few SKUs; no 2K/3K/4K or touchscreen options, below average CPU Turbo Boost performance, small battery capacity; average battery
The Spectre 13 is the thinnest 13.3-inch notebook currently in the market and a classic example of the law of diminishing returns. That is, you'll have to give up more and more features for every millimeter shaven off. The lack of any full-size USB ports...

Unique and striking look, extremely thin and light. Good performance and pleasing display
No touch screen, fans comes on more often compared to thicker Ultrabooks, battery life isn't fantastic
It's a rare treat when we see what can only be described as a designer laptop that's 1) not priced way above the competition, 2) actually highly functional. The HP Spectre 13.3" Ultrabook has undeniable good looks, though it may be a bit uncomfortably fas...
