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 world's thinnest laptop what this is from HP it's called the spectre and it is thinner than a pen thinner than this pen ten point four millimeters thin let's jump inside the box and see what it's all about okay as you guys can tell that is that is crazy thing you're probably wondering like okay 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 three USB sees 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 you're 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 adapter included as well that simple stuff go ahead and test that out and then BOOM here's the power brick fairly portable again what about the specs your going to be able to configure this guy with either a Core i5 or Core i7 processors not underpowered one of my favorite things is this hinge design here as you can tell 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 the bottom side is actually carbon fiber guys know I'm a huge fan of carbon fiber whatever it can be used you'll notice the way these feet sit it actually keeps the bottom of the laptop up off of the surface it's on a little bit that's going to help with cooling you can also see this unique layout for the grills where the fan is this guy comes in at 2.5 5 pounds you are hardly going to that now the audio on this device is by Bang & Olufsen with HP audio boost to see the speaker grilles 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 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 you're trying to set the mood there's also a dedicated button for airplane 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 color shift in the image video can you play video yes of course look at this okay here you go Jack 1080p full HD display and 13.3 inches diagonal now the display is actually covered in gorilla glass rather than the standard stuff that's going to give you some extra durability characteristics that I'm sure you're aware you can also spec it out with an SSD up to 512 gigabytes this model I'm looking at here has 8 gigabytes 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 you're going to be looking at roughly all day or HP's claiming 8 plus hours so there you have it guys the new HP Spectre the world's 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
