I saw somewhere that they managed to cram in a 4 cell battery in there. How... i have no idea.

Small cells

Looks very beautiful.

I hope it can do minor gaming like minecraft, unturned, browser games, and more

So apple does gold, everyone throws a sh*t fit.

HP does gold (or copper more like), and now it's "Gorgeous" and "sexy".

Everyone claims to hate shiny stuff on computers because it leaves finger prints.... Yet it's everywhere here and people are fine with it...

 

I don't get this community sometimes

 

Looks terrible imo. If they offered other color combinations I would consider buying it however.

Apple gets a lot less shit for doing gold than they do for leveraging their popularity to way overprice their products.

My gosh, this laptop is gorgeous.

 

Now I have an idea for a PC case design.

It depends on the surroundings. And I'm sure Apple would try and sue HP over that color scheme.

 

EDIT: because if would look too much like an apple product otherwise. I just hope that's not copper that they're using. Not only is it more expensive than gold these days, but you can't touch it bare-handed without ruining it's finish.

I'm pretty sure it's anodized aluminum.

I'm pretty sure it's anodized aluminum.

It probably is, but my mind automatically thinks Copper when I see it.

Looks fancy, but I'd prefer to not have my laptop be a fashion statement. I'm perfectly fine with my "ugly" Thinkpads.

I cannot deny this looks pretty slick. But I also own the HP Spectre 13 (2014 edition) and let me tell you, for the price it's been a real piece of shit, but unless HP really stepped up their game, stay away from this. Judging from history, HP probably hasn't upped their game. Lousy customer service too.

Oh yeah, easily. My Spectre 13 runs vanilla Minecraft more or less at maximum settings, except for chunk distance.

"Hyperbaric cooling" creates positive pressure in the chassis... So basically they added fans

[Pauleh]

That's an amazing starting price too. I might replace my bulky Dell Vostro 3350 with that...

HP has stepped up their game. I recently purchased a HP Spectre 360 for a family member and we couldn't be more satisfied. Solid build quality, fast and cheap as hell. I still am not a huge fan of HP, but I thing they are starting to make gains in the laptop world. As for their customer service, it couldn't be much worse then Dell, right?

I HIGHLY doubt it's copper. More then likely stainless steel.

Very impressive feat of engineering.

 

Can anyone help compare between this and the MacBook?

 

MacBook:

Starts at $1299

12" 1440p

Core M

1 USB-C

256gb SSD

 

Spectre:

Starts at $1169

13" 1080p

Core i5

3 USB-C

256gb SSD

 

Looks like the Spectre is better in every regard except for the screen. But again, specs aren't everything so we'll have to see how it performs in the real world. Apple is now facing competition in the hyper thin laptop space so here's to a more powerful CPU and more USB-C ports.

 

OR. Apple could just throw in a Retina screen on their Air line and make everyone happy.

The notebook itself looks great,  but I hate these power bricks,  that are sitting in the middle of the god damn cable. Why can they not be located at the beginning of the cable? ASUS does that and its so much better...
