Unlike metal, plastic, and other traditional materials for tech devices, leather comes from a dead cow. Let’s also acknowledge that for some people, a leather-clad PC crosses a line. That also means, of course, that the Spectre Folio is at best “resistant” to things leather can’t take, like deep scratches and random pen marks. The chrome tanning process makes the leather stain- and water-resistant: “Take care of it like you take care of your handbag,” advised Ai-Kuan Lim, director of consumer new product introduction for HP. The curved leather fold along the hinge makes the HP Spectre Folio feel organic.Īs for durability, anything your other leather products can take, the Spectre Folio can take. That fold also adds to the Spectre Folio’s organic look and feel. “Otherwise you destroy the look.” The fanless design helps, as does an air channel created by the loose leather fold along the main display hinge. “Leather doesn’t give us the opportunity to cut a lot of holes,” Tan said. It sure wasn’t chosen because it was easy.
BEST BUY HP SPECTRE FOLIO FULL
See below for full details on prices, specs, and features. (Read about the crack team of HP and Intel engineers who designed it.) It’s available for pre-order starting October 1 at Best Buy and HP, with a starting price of $1,300. Keep reading, though, and you’ll see that the Spectre Folio is a really interesting PC, as well as a potentially covetable object. I couldn’t take my hands off of it, and it felt great on my lap, too. I had the same struggle during my sneak peek at the Spectre Folio ahead of its announcement Monday morning in New York City. You’ll find yourself responding to the Spectre Folio in the same way-and then fighting it, as if it were wrong to react like that to a PC, even if it’s also one of the first super-efficient Amber Lake laptops we’ve seen. By wrapping an incredibly thin laptop in a full-grain leather shell, HP has made a PC whose look, feel, and smell will evoke classic, covetable objects like a bomber jacket, a handbag, or a leather football or baseball. The HP Spectre Folio is a sensual experience.
