Behold! This is the world's thinnest laptop
This is the Spectre, HP's gorgeous new laptop.
It's absurdly thin at 10.4mm, which is thinner than the 11-inch MacBook Air (17 mm) AND the 12-inch MacBook (13 mm).
At 2.45 lbs, the HP Spectre is heavier than the 11-inch MacBook Air (2.38 lbs) and lighter than the 12-inch MacBook (2.03 lbs).
Despite its sleek design and slim weight, it has similar specs you'd find on thicker laptops.
Most importantly, it runs Intel's full-size Core i processors, not the mobile Core m processors that are designed for super-slim and portable computers, but run a lot slower.
The hinges retract into the Spectre's body to eliminate extra bulk that hinges usually add.
It has a full HD 1080p 13.3-inch screen, which the MacBook Air can't boast.
The Spectre also exclusively uses the new USB-C standard for charging and connecting other devices.
You might need adapters like this to plug peripherals like monitors or hard drives, which might be a hassle, but transitioning to new, better standards is rarely easy.
The base model of the HP Spectre is priced at $1169, which about the same price as the 13-inch MacBook Air.
So far, it only comes in the copper/gold color option. HP says it uses the color scheme for "warmth" and to make it feel like a piece of jewelry.
