World's thinnest laptop, the HP Spectre 13, arrives in India

HP India today launched the Spectre 13 which is currently the world's thinnest laptop at just 10.4mm at its thickest point.

Powering the HP Spectre 13 is a choice between Intel's 6th-gen Core-i5 6200U or Core-i7 6500U processor with a 13.3-inch edge-to-edge 1080p display covered in a layer of Corning Gorilla Glass 4 for scratch resistance. There's 8GB RAM onboard with upto 512GB PCIe NVME storage and it runs Windows 10.

Now, given how thin this laptop is, HP hasn't skimped on ports. There are three USB Type-C ports two of which are Thunderbolt ports, then there's Bluetooth, dual-band WiFiac and yes, there's a 3.5mm headphone jack present here too. Speakers on the Spectre 13 have been provided by HP's long term audio partner Bang and Olufsen. Most of the device is made of metal but with a carbon fibre bottom, HP was able to reduce the weight of the device to just 1.1 Kg. Then there are copper accents on the laptop which give it a premium look.

The company has even split the battery into two thinner pieces to keep the thickness down but still giving 9 hours 45 minutes of battery-life.

Speaking at the launch of the HP Spectre 13, Rajiv Srivastava, MD - HP India said:

HP as India’s technology leader aims to make life better, productive and more fun. We are at the forefront of delivering industry-leading innovation and HP’s Spectre 13 is a beautifully crafted Notebook and a reflection of what many millennials aspire to be --- exceptional, cool, dazzling, standing out from the crowd, but making an impact.
