  • What's up guys Lew here back with another video

  • And as you can tell, today something special is happening, I am not in my normal studio environment

  • That's because I'm in Paris. Today I'm checking out

  • The 'Worlds thinnest Laptop'

  • What!?

  • This is from HP, it's called the Spectre

  • And it is... Thinner than a pen, thinner than this pen

  • 10.4 mm (millimeters) thin.

  • Let's jump inside the box and see what it's all about

  • Ok, as you guys can tell that is...

  • That is crazy thin.

  • Your probably wondering like 'Ok it's thin, am I giving something up, what am I giving up in exchange for

  • ultra portability

  • Actually in this case not a ton

  • If you look around the device you'll notice

  • You've got 3 usb C's on the back

  • This one is going to be used to power up the device as well

  • unlike some other ultra thin laptops on the market

  • Your not giving up connectivity there with multiple ports

  • and then you've also got a headphone jack in this location on the back

  • now, if you've got a bunch of older usb equipment

  • and you need to have the traditional connector

  • you have an adaptor included as well, that's simple stuff

  • Let's go ahead and test that out

  • and then Boom.

  • Here's the power brick, it's fairly portable again

  • What about the specs?

  • You're going to be able to configure this guy with either

  • a core i5 or a core i7 processor

  • it's not underpowered.

  • One of my favourite things is this hinge design here

  • as you can tell, it's super smooth

  • but very unusual.

  • Because it's using some piston technology

  • in underneath the hood there.

  • Completely new HP logo

  • Ultra modern to go with

  • the kind of ultra modern vibe.

  • You've got this copper along the bottom

  • The top of this laptop is aluminum but then

  • But then the bottom side is actually carbon fiber

  • You guys know i'm a huge fan of carbon fiber

  • whenever it can be used

  • you'll notice the way these feet sit

  • it actually keeps the the bottom of the laptop up off the surface it's on a little bit

  • thats going to help with cooling.

  • you can also see this unique layout

  • for the grills where the fan is

  • this guy comes in at 2.55 pounds

  • You are hardly going to notice that.

  • Now the audio on this device is by bang and olufsen

  • with HP audio boost

  • You can see the speaker grills there

  • I like what they've done, just to add a little bit of interest

  • a little bit of uniqueness

  • The keyboard is very low profile, a chiclet style keyboard

  • It also has a backlight on it so

  • if you're working in bed late at night

  • and so on, you want to keep the lights dim

  • maybe your trying to set the mood

  • there's also a dedicated button for aeroplane mode

  • and then of course the display

  • it is ips technology

  • what you'll notice is as i sort of twist the display a little bit

  • you're getting no colour shift

  • in the image

  • Video. can it it play video? Yes, of course.

  • Look at this "Another video" here you go Jack

  • "Do I still have to do the 'What's up guys' thing?"

  • 1080p, full HD display

  • and 13.3" (inches) diagonally

  • Now the display is actually covered in Gorilla Glass rather than the standard stuff

  • Thats going to give you some extra durability characteristics that i'm sure you're aware of.

  • You can also spec it out with an SSD up to 512Gb

  • This model i'm looking at here has 8Gb of RAM as well

  • You've essentially got your traditional laptop specs

  • just jammed into a much thinner profile.

  • How thin? This pen is actually thicker than the entire device

  • It's the same thickness the entire way

  • Now, when it comes to battery life

  • your going to be looking at roughly all day

  • or HP is claiming 8+ hours

  • so there you have it guys,

  • The new HP Spectre

  • The 'Worlds Thinnest Laptop'

  • You are now aware of it, this thing is launching very soon

  • It's really a unique design, i'm a fan of it.

  • Big thanks to HP for inviting me out here to Paris

  • to check out their latest and greatest

  • Thank you very much for watching guys and i'll catch you on the next episode

  • Later

What's up guys Lew here back with another video
