Reviews for the HP Spectre 13-3010eg

85% HP Spectre 13

It's easy to fall for the HP Spectre 13: it has that combo of quality materials, a sharp full HD (or higher) display and good looks that we expect from an Ultrabook. Better yet, it's priced to sell when compared to the metal-clad full HD or higher competition. Though HP put some hope and thought into the Control Zone trackpad as a differentiator, I don't think it's a huge selling point, but the quality, overall competence and solid performance for the price are do make it easy to recommend.

90% HP Spectre 13 Pro

Our overall experience with the Spectre 13 Pro was a positive one, and we think it’s a great Ultrabook overall, whether used in the business space, or as a personal unit. It’s well built and it looks good. We love the screen quality, the keyboard is mostly comfortable to tap on, it provides a good range of features, and its speed was good for us. We just wish the screen wasn’t so glossy and that the battery life was perhaps a little better.

Comment

Model:

Those looking for an ultrabook light enough not to weigh them down and powerful enough to handle everyday tasks, should take a look at the HP Spectre 13. The 13-inch Notebook PC comes with a 4th generation i7 processor and 8 GB of RAM, which ensure fast performance for anything you will use it for, even multitasking. Its Sandisk SSD is one of the fastest out there in the market and starting any applications will be snappy.

It comes with a 13.3-inch QHD IPS touchscreen with a native resolution of 2560 by 1440 pixels. It's extremely sharp and the colors are beautiful to look at. The display is perfect for anyone who works with photos or videos. The battery can last you roughly around 5-6 hours, which is a little bit on the low side compared to other ultrabooks in the market.

This is all packed into an all aluminium chassis, which helps it to be solid while only weighing at 1.48 kg, light enough to put into your bag and forget it's even there. Overall, this ultrabook is priced very reasonably considering the fast SSD, high resolution IPS display and fast performance.

Intel HD Graphics 4400:

ULV integrated GPU (GT2) with 20 EUs found on certain Haswell CPU models.

Non demanding games should be playable with these graphics cards.

Intel Core i7: The Intel Core i7 for laptops is based on the LG1156 Core i5/i7 CPU for desktops. The base clock speed of the CPUs is relatively low, but because of a huge Turbo mode, the cores can dynamically overclock to up to 3.2 GHz (920XM). Therefore, the CPU can be as fast as high clocked dual-core CPUs (using single threaded applications) but still offer the advantage of 4 cores. Because of the large TDP of 45 W / 55 W, the CPU is only intended for large laptops.  

4500U:

Haswell-based ULV dual-core processor clocked at 1.8 GHz with Turbo Boost support up to 3.0 GHz. Offers an integrated HD Graphics 4400 and a dual-channel DDR3 memory controller.

13.30":

There are hardly any tablets in this display size range anymore. For subnotebooks, on the other hand, it is the standard format.

The advantage of subnotebooks is that the entire laptop can be small and therefore easily portable. The smaller display also has the advantage of requiring less power, which further improves battery life and thus mobility. The disadvantage is that reading texts is more strenuous on the eyes. High resolutions are more likely to be found in standard laptops.

HP: Founded in 1939, the US company is a major server and printer manufacturer and one of the leading IT companies in the world. Until 2015, the company was called Hewlett-Packard Company. After a split, the computer division was renamed HP Inc.

In 2023, HP had an approximate market share of 22% of global PC sales, making it number 2 after Lenovo.

85.5%: This is an above-average rating. Nevertheless, it should not be forgotten that about one fifth of all tested models receive a better rating.
