The editors liked
Slick design
Good keyboard and trackpad
Three USB Type-C points
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

Battery life on the shorter side

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
HP's Spectre 13 doesn't go all-out on any particular aspect of the computing experience, making tradeoffs that HP thinks you'll tolerate. Its cutting-edge 8th-gen Kaby Lake-R chip puts it at or near the top of the heap in general computing performance. In...
"There's no denying that this is one sexy piece of hardware, but the price puts it slightly out of whack when compared to other premium Ultrabooks."...

Gorgeous styling, wonderfully thin, beautifully light weight, excellent display, good feel to keyboard
Keyboard lettering can be hard to read, USB Type-C accessories still relatively rare
Successfully competing with the various Macs on battery life is something to which Windows apparently doesn't lend itself. These days Apple's claiming a dozen hours of battery life for the MacBook Air, something it comes very close to actually achieving...
At this price, the HP Spectre 13 finds itself pitted against everyone's favourite ultraportable, the Dell XPS 13. And for all the Spectre 13's plus points, that buying decision boils down to one simple question: how much do you value having a laptop t...

It is a remarkably well-built, thin, powerful, and sexy laptop. The omission of a touch screen, while not a deal breaker for a laptop user, is puzzling, given it has a very basic touchpad. OK, I know a touch screen would have added. 5mm to the thickness.T...
The gold finish might make it look more like a clutch bag than a laptop, but there's no question the Spectre makes an impression - and that aggressive new HP logo is just the start. In the style stakes, it's the biggest threat to Apple's ultraportable cro...

Thinnest laptoop in the world, stunning design, powerful performance, great battery life
Small trackpad, audio volume could be better
The HP Spectre 13.3 is the world's thinnest laptop but the pleasant surprise for users is that it's not all about beauty. Just because it's thin doesn't mean it isn't powerful and the device delivers the brawn to go with the looks...

Overall, HP's has something great with the Spectre 13, and it's mission to pack a powerful chip in such a slim design is an admirable one. But for $2299 (for the Core i5 base model) and $2999 (for the Core i7), it's still a hard sell for most people. Even...
Thin design, reasonable power, Excellent keyboard, You've only got USB-C
Middling battery life, Loud internal fan, You've only got USB-C
Do you want the world's thinnest laptop? Then yes, obviously you should buy the $2299-plus HP Spectre. It's as simple as that — it's the current title holder, and that means a lot in a world where it takes the smartphone makers — masters of their craft —...
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
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
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...
