HP has launched the new HP Spectre – the world’s thinnest laptop. The laptop was unveiled in the UAE at an exclusive event, introducing a new dimension to design technology. The Spectre’s design was certainly an eye-catcher, drawing interest with its high gloss copper accents – proof that PCs can be an expression of style thanks to magical and luxurious technology.
The HP Spectre has a total weight of just 1.1kg, a width of less than 1.5cm, and the options of an Intel Core i5 model and an Intel Core i7 model. It features a full HD 13.3” (33.8cm) diagonal edge-to-edge display and Bang & Olufsen sound. The body is made of high gloss copper accents, which reflect a hand-polished, jewelry-like finish and a hidden piston hinge, creating the illusion of a hingeless design. Unveiled as the ‘world’s thinnest laptop,’ the Spectre has an aluminium chassis as thin as an AAA-battery.
The HP Spectre unveiling event included a selection of fashion pieces on display, each created taking inspiration from the Spectre laptop. The exclusive pieces were created by some of the region’s top fashion designers, including House of Nomad, Arwa Al Banawi, Dima Ayad and Ayah Tabari, who put together outfits that captured the essence of the luxurious laptop. The designs debuted at the event and were worn by four of the Middle East’s most widely-respected fashion influencers: Rosemin Manji, Nadya Hassan, Ola Farahat, Dina Akesbi and Ahmad Dabbas.
Mathew Thomas, VP & MD, Middle East, HP Inc., believes the HP Spectre is the perfect illustration of how the company not only reacts to trends, but also embraces change.
A large part of our business philosophy is to reinvent who we are, what our customers want, how we can provide that and – uniquely – how we anticipate that. We aspire to create technology that makes life better for everyone, everywhere and in the HP Spectre we see innovation at its best – advanced and progressive technology that is geared to optimum productivity and a style and design that defines class.
The new 13.3” diagonal HP Spectre laptop is now available in the UAE with a starting price of AED 5,499.
