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

The editors didn't like
Battery life on the shorter side
A little too much bezel
Fingerprint magnet
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
versatile dual USB Type-C Gen. 2 + Thunderbolt 3 ports, comfortable backlit keyboard with firm tactile feedback, ultrathin, lightweight, portable, and luxurious design, high quality bright display; deep colors and contrast, included USB Type-C to Type-A
case rigidity is a step down compared to XPS 13 and MacBook Air 13, very limited connectivity options without use of dongles, few SKUs; no 2K/3K/4K or touchscreen options, below average CPU Turbo Boost performance, small battery capacity; average battery
The Spectre 13 is the thinnest 13.3-inch notebook currently in the market and a classic example of the law of diminishing returns. That is, you'll have to give up more and more features for every millimeter shaven off. The lack of any full-size USB ports...
Unique and striking look, extremely thin and light. Good performance and pleasing display
No touch screen, fans comes on more often compared to thicker Ultrabooks, battery life isn't fantastic
It's a rare treat when we see what can only be described as a designer laptop that's 1) not priced way above the competition, 2) actually highly functional. The HP Spectre 13.3" Ultrabook has undeniable good looks, though it may be a bit uncomfortably fas...

Superb design, USB-C-ness, So light
Only a Full HD display, Feels slightly flimsy, No backlit keyboard
What's great about the HP Spectre? Just look at it! Absolutely sublime. It's a thoroughbred laptop. For the most part the spec sheet is exemplary. When you combine the looks with the excellent performance it's an intoxicating mix that many rivals c...

Truly striking design and high-quality build, more power than you might expect, good screen
Loud fans kick in at the drop of a hat, limited connections, battery life worse than some rivals
Quality, quality, quality with a side order of shiny gold hot pants is the HP Spectre 13's way. Whereas other recent HP laptops have made a great impression with their price, this one wants to make its pure presence the appeal. It works, particular...

Superb touchpad Lightweight
Battery life No fullsize USB ports
The Spectre 13 is a fantastic ultraportable in its own right. Put the middling battery life to one side and it really doesn't put a foot wrong. If eye-catching design is as important to you as a great display, brilliant keyboard and solid performance...

The HP Spectre 13 is desperate to appear a laptop of the future, and that comes with substantial pros and cons. Its supreme portability is quite wonderful, and while its design may polarise, it certainly is fancy. There's substance too, with a surprisingl...
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 that’s 118g...

Abstract: With the HP Spectre 13, HP intends to legitimize itself definitively as a manufacturer of high-end products. A laudable goal, already almost reached with the previous Spectre x360. The Spectre 13 goes further and proudly displays its design and builds qua...
Thinner than a MacBook and elegantly designed, the HP Spectre 13 is up there with the best ultraportables. Sure, it may be a little pricey at upwards of £1,150, but it's pretty much unrivalled at the moment, with nothing Windows-based even coming close to...
