HP unveils its new Spectre Folio laptop

HP has shown off the HP Spectre Folio, a “completely new” device which the company promises will reinvent computing as we know it, describing it as the most versatile convertible the company has ever made.

While we were hoping for something a bit more revolutionary, HP is obviously proud of the device, with a design that HP describes as “modern vintage meets technology”. The company, which was holding its PC Reinvented event in New York, claims that the convertible Spectre Folio is a premium laptop that goes beyond anything the company has made before.

In a bold statement, HP claims the Spectre Folio “basically has no flaws.” We’ll be putting that claim to the test soon when we get our hands on the device.

Premium design

At the launch event, HP made a big deal of the design of the Spectre Folio, with a leather build that not only feels premium, but helps make the Spectre Folio even more versatile.

HP stated that it wanted to push the envelope when it comes to technology. One of the design considerations revolved around designing a computer that’s built out of 100% genuine leather.

By marrying metal and leather, HP believes it’s made a “truly transformative” form factor for the HP Spectre Folio.

It also claims that the HP Spectre Folio will last all day, with an 18 hour battery life. HP has managed to do that with an 8th generation dual core Intel CPU, and collaborated with Intel to create one of the smallest motherboards in the industry, so the HP Spectre Folio remains thin and light, with a huge battery life. It also comes with a 4K touch screen with Gorilla Glass protection.

It also supports 4G LTE, allowing you to connect to the internet wherever you are. It will be available in US and major European countries, and ATT, Sprint and T-Mobile networks will be supported in the US.
