The editors didn't like
Bottom runs a bit warm
Integrated graphics will be a showstopper for some
Annoying fan
802.11ac Wi-Fi is a $20 option
A handful of other premium ultrabooks offer better value. The extra "control zone" spaces on the touch pad don't feel like a fully realized concept
Not the quickest multimedia machine
Cramped palm rest
Tactile distinction between touch-pad zones too subtle
F functions are two-key combinations by default
Middling media performance
Keyboard doesn't have lots of travel and tactile feel
Heavy for a 13-inch Ultrabook
Middling battery life
Especially considering the heft
Trackpad needs a driver update
Shallow keys have an occasionally "sticky" feel
Somewhat heavy
Some sharp edges
Twitchy fan (not always that quiet)
Very prone to fingerprints
Gets very warm under full load (sometimes too warm to use on one's lap)
Abstract: When is a notebook too thin? It's a question posed by the Spectre 13, which HP says is the world's thinnest notebook, at 10.4mm. It exemplifies elegant engineering, and its thin form factor is due to HP adopting compact-sized USB Type-C and Thunderbolt 3...
Beautiful screen. hell, it's an amazeballs touchscreen (though the viewing angles can be a little weird); Massive trackpad; Great keyboard; Attractive and sturdy;
Computer can get a little noisy when the fan decides to spin up; No 802.11ac WiFi;
HP's 2014 Spectre is an impressive return to the fore, with an Ultrabook that isn't just another clone.While most thin and light machines generally follow the same pattern and design, the Spectre is different, taking the Intel specification and not just i...

Gorgeous looks, solid build, good battery life
On the heavy side, sluggish processor
The HP Spectre 13 is a great-looking laptop with a good screen and some genuinely useful software on board for a pretty reasonable price. But it's let down by its sluggish performance, which really doesn't match its appearance. For light use, it's fine,...
Decent performance for an Ultrabook, 8GB RAM and 256GB SSD, Comfortable keyboard, Reasonable price
No ultra, high, resolution screen, Lacks VGA and LAN ports
The HP Spectre 13 may not be an attention grabbing hybrid, but compared to other Ultrabooks it has few areas of weakness. With an Intel Haswell processor, and twice as much RAM and twice the SSD capacity of last year's standard, it ticks the major specif...
Incredibly thin and light, High-quality screen, Great performance
Noisy fans, Below-average battery life and battery drain, So-so keyboard and trackpad
The Spectre excels in several key areas. Its exterior looks and feels fantastic, the screen is excellent, and it's got the best battery life we've seen from any Windows Ultrabook. The reasonable keyboard and good trackpad make up for the misfiring Control...
Almost, but not quite The HP Spectre 13 has the looks, it has the feel, and it even has a killer app in Adobe Lightroom 5, but still can't compete with ultra-portable laptops from Apple and Samsung. Why? Performance. For an ultrabook that has simila...
Thin and light, Excellent 1080p display, Loud, enjoyable speakers, Great touchpad, Long battery life, Affordable
Compute performance is below average, Only two USB ports and no Ethernet
Performance is the Spectre 13t's only problem. Though its specifications look fine on paper, they translated to below-average figures in both our compute and 3D benchmarks. Day-to-day use isn't a problem, but you'll notice the lack of grunt when editing...
Abstract: On paper, the new HP's Spectre 13 ultrabook has a design like just another sleek 13-inch laptop. It has the same fundamental components and design as many of other options. Laptops with such amazing and smart looks are normally in the around-$1,000 catego...
Tiene un diseño muy atractivo, buena velocidad y desempeño, pantalla brillante y una buena relación costobeneficio
Es más pesada de lo esperado y tanto el teclado, como el touchpad podrían tener una mejor respuesta
