Reviews for the HP Spectre 13-af033ng

87.4% HP Spectre 13-af033 (i7-8550U, FHD) Laptop Review | Notebookcheck
Its design, its name, its feel. The Spectre attracts attention wherever it goes - that part already worked last year. The new model features an Intel Core upgrade to the i7-8550U and its design has received a final polish. Will the Spectre impress us as much as it did last year?

80% HP Spectre 13 (2018) Review: White magic
Source: Toptenreviews English

HP Spectre 13 (2018) Review – The Spectre 13 is certainly attractive. With a ceramic white finish and pale gold detailing, it stands out immediately. Compared with the rather masculine black and metallic surfaces featured on most portable PCs, it may take of getting used to, but if anything it looks even more expensive than it is.
