It has a 13.3-inch 1080p display (configurable up to 4K), 8GB of RAM (up to 16GB), 256GB SSD (up to 2TB), 2 Thunderbolt 3 ports, 1 USB-C port, and a nice backlit keyboard. Otherwise, the specs of the HP Spectre Folio are fairly standard. HP had to work in tandem with Intel to make it all work properly. Wolfe notes that when it comes to the design of the device, that board full of guts might be as impressive as the outside. In fact, the battery takes up so much space that the guts of the machine itself are all stuck on a single board about the width of the device (which is 13.3-inches) and only about an inch or an inch and a half long. That’s really impressive, and admittedly much of the base of the device is reserved for a 54.28WHr battery. HP claims it can go up to 15 hours a day. I’m also curious to see how the adhesive that bonds the leather to the titanium holds up under the constant heat of regular use. How that functions in practice will be interesting-especially under high workloads. There are no fans in this thing, instead, heat is distributed through the leather and the metal parts around the keyboard. HP has packed an 8th-gen i7-8500Y CPU inside this laptop made of leather and titanium. I’m excited to see what riffs on the concept play out over the next couple of years.īut as for this particular device, I still have some concerns that can only be addressed with an actual review. It’s only when the Spectre Folio is in motion that you appreciate Wolf’s enthusiasm. And that’s not because the Spectre Folio lacks a wow factor, it’s because the device’s freshest idea, that second hinge, is so clever and so natural looking you’re left thinking it already exists. I don’t know if it’s fair to say it will transform the industry.
