World renowned software company Hewlett-Packard has just released their new premium 2-in-1 personal computer that was intended to compete with other premium laptops made by Samsung and Apple, and according to recent reviews, the new HP Spectre 360 laptop does pack a punch with its impressive specs for an affordable price.

Apple's MacBook Air set a standard back in 2008 for today's slimmest laptops by equipping itself with a light SSD storage coupled with a long-lasting battery. Because of this, other competing brands such as Dell, Acer, Asus, and HP have adapted the same feature onto their devices for a lower cost than what Apple offers.

As for the new HP Spectre 360, the laptop goes well against competing brands for it hides Intel's 7th generation Kaby Lake processor within its slim body.

The new HP 2-in-1 laptop measures 12.03 x 8.58 x 0.54-inches and weighs only 2.8 pounds, making it one of the slimmest and lightest high-quality laptops in the market. The HP Spectre 360 took off the extra metal from its edges and features very slim side bezels, making its design more portable for people who are almost always on the go.

What's more is that the HP Spectre 360's glossy 13.3-inch full high definition display supports 4K viewing at a brightness of 317 nits. The device is also available in two variants that possess a Core i5 processor and a Core i7, both equipped with 16 GB of RAM and 512 GB PCIe SSD.

The HP Spectre 360 also features three Thunderbolt 3 supported USB ports, a USB 3.1 Type- A port, and two USB-C ports, as well as a long lasting battery that can power the laptop for eight to ten hours.

However, the laptop does not contain a card slot for SD or microSD.

The HP Spectre 360 can now be bought at the HP store and at BestBuy for prices ranging from $1,050 USD up to $1,300 USD.
