HP is definitely out to beat Apple at their own game by announcing a notebook that is just 10.4 millimeters thick beating the Apple MacBook 12 by close to 3 mm.
One look and we were besotted.
Despite its ultra ‘thinness’ however the diminutive HP Spectre 13 boats up to an i7 processor, 8gb RAM and a really nice screen with HD resolution. We love it, and the slick new HP logo? Pretty cool. Likes like HP is innovating again.
Notebook manufacturers are continuing to explore the limits of design in terms of reducing the thickness. The new HP Spectre 13 is currently the benchmark. With a “thickness” of just 10.4 millimetres, HP even clearly beats other thin laptops like the Apple MacBook 12 (up to 13 mm). That the diet was not an easy tasks is supported by some clever details. While the use of CNC machined aluminum and carbon is pretty much standard in this class of this devices by now, HP had to find a special solution for hinge because of the extremely thin display (2 millimetres) as well as the edge-to-edge design of the panel. The result is a so-called “Piston Hinge”, which folds into the base unit and is then guided or absorbed, respectively, by a special mechanism.
