The idea of a leather computer is crazy, and it's even crazier to think that HP is the company that risked building it. But it turns out the company is onto something. Even if you're not interested in buying the Folio though, it proves to the PC world tha...

Abstract: I'd be the first to admit, I'm having a fun time using the new HP Spectre Folio. In a world of copycat laptops, almost all of whom seem to want to be the MacBook Air, this is at the very least a different approach to laptop design.Instead of taking a slim...
While I love the HP Spectre Folio's leather casing, that's just part of why this laptop rates highly. Without the leather, it would still be remarkably lightweight, cool, and long-lasting on battery. With the leather, HP's added feelings to the laptop—fee...
More than just a laptop with leather accents, the Spectre Folio is a 2-in-1 that's partially made of leather and it makes the most of that unique material design to stand out amongst the crowd...

Stunning design, Thin and light, Power and performance, Leather smells good
Letterbox screen could have been bigger, Expensive
That there aren't many laptops that can tick all the boxes in terms of style, design, performance and connectivity. The HP Spectre Folio is one of those rare breeds – but you'll be paying a little bit extra for the privilege.Related PostsTiny Tower puts y...
An excellent, premium-looking design with a leather outer shell over a metal frame. Good stylus response and excellent battery life
The rotating hinge design is too fiddly for its own good and the dual-core processor is a letdown for this price range. The stylus has nowhere to live, except in an awkward leather loop hanging from the side
HP's inventive two-in-one hybrid is fun to use and show off, but its ambitious hinge design can get in the way at times...

While I'd struggle to call the HP Spectre Folio a good value laptop, there's an undeniable charm to its boutique approach. Part of this is just down to it being different. As I said at the start of this review, there's so much overlap in specs and designs...
HP's Spectre Folio is truly for a niche audience, and when I mean niche, I truly mean it. It's not that it's lacking in any features, aesthetically, or in performance, but rather the utter ridiculousness at the pinnacle of luxury laptops; one encased in l...
