HP Spectre 13 review

Welcome to a Laptop Battery specialist of the HP Laptop Battery

Intel was inspired to go on a quest when Apple released the MacBook Air back in 2011 – a quest to redefine what a Windows 10 laptop could be. You see, in the past, Windows laptops had a reputation for being notoriously cheap, unwieldy and uncool – the antithesis of the HP Spectre 13 with battery such as HP 14-F002LA Battery, HP 14-F048CA Battery, HP 14-F088CA Battery, HP 14Z-F000 Battery, HP HSTNN-LB6L Battery, HP NP03XL Battery, HP TPN-Q146 Battery, HP TPN-Q149 Battery, HP 760944-541 Battery, HP Pavilion 13 X360 Battery, HP Envy 15 X360 Battery, HP 761230-005 Battery.

This quest ultimately resulted in the best Ultrabooks, and seven years later, the best laptops have become more varied and Intel’s Ultrabooks have reached a level of near-perfection that we haven’t seen from the MacBook Air in a minute.

HP loaned us the 2017 version of the Spectre 13 Ultrabook for review – as proof of the Ultrabook’s domination. At 0.41 inches thick, the HP Spectre 13 has pushed the goal of unmatched thinness to its highest point. What’s more – it achieves this thinness without having to compromise on performance – or your finances.

Instead, this laptop’s fate is hinged on a sweet balance between battery life and sheer processing might.

In these, the Spectre didn’t quite compare to the Dell XPS 13’s otherworldly 7 hours and 13 minutes.

But, having lasted a minute less than 6 hours looping a 1080p movie in VLC Media Player, it comes close to the MacBook Pro’s hearty 6-hour and 37-minute spiral.

Don’t expect the HP Spectre 13’s imperfections to equal pitfalls. In the grand scheme of things, they’re a lot more minor than this negative nancy would suggest.

Could the trackpad give you more options? Sure, but we haven’t used a Windows laptop whose cursor clicker can quite match that of a MacBook Pro. Do we miss having a wide range of ports on our laptops without the need to convert to the #donglelife? Also, yes, but it’s clear where the future is headed and the HP Spectre 13 is but a pitstop to that destination.

If you’re in the market for an Ultrabook that can handle the average workload with ease and crashes next to null, the HP Spectre 13 will treat you well.

Someone will probably ask you about it, whether you’re taking notes in a classroom or freelancing from a coworking space – we can’t stress it enough, that’s how fierce this machine looks.

And, unlike the new Spectre’s closest competitors, a handsome look doesn’t substitute industry-leading guts.
