HP Spectre 13 sets a new benchmark for thin laptops

HP has announced a new Spectre model which is 10.4mm thin, and yet features a 13.3-inch display, thus setting a new benchmark for thinnest 13-inch notebooks out there.

Complementing the black aluminium and carbon fibre design of the HP Spectre 13 are its own top-of-the-line specifications. It sports a 13.3-inch display, which comes with a 0.4mm Corning Gorilla Glass layer protecting it. The company is giving users an option to choose the processor, storage, and RAM, though, the display remains fixed at full-HD (1920x1080 pixels).

For processor, the HP Spectre 13 supports Intel Core i5 as well as Core i7, and up to 512GB of SSD storage, and up to 8GB of RAM. The company claims that the battery inside the device can keep the laptop running for 9.5 hours on a single charge. The starting price of the HP Spectre 13 is $1,169 (roughly Rs. 77,700), and it will go on pre-order in select regions on April 25, and hit retailers in May.
