80% HP Spectre Folio review: This lightweight leather laptop is different in a very good way
Source: PC World Archive.org version
Lightweight and leather-wrapped, the HP Spectre Folio actually feels comfortable, in a way that a metal- or plastic-clad laptop never could. Thanks to its energy-sipping Intel Core Y processor, it performs capably while generating very little heat, and its battery lasts a very long time.

HP Spectre Folio review: This lightweight leather laptop is different in a very good way

While I love the HP Spectre Folio’s leather casing, that’s just part of why this laptop rates highly. Without the leather, it would still be remarkably lightweight, cool, and long-lasting on battery. With the leather, HP’s added feelings to the laptop—feelings of comfort, luxury, naturalness. Those are good feelings to have, and they just might sell you on the Spectre Folio.

80% HP Spectre Folio 13-ak0001na review: Blockbuster battery life
Source: It Pro Archive.org version
The HP Spectre Folio looks fantastic, thanks to its leather exterior, and it’s satisfying to use in its tablet, media and laptop modes. The screen is brilliant, the battery life shames rivals and the CPU can easily handle day-to-day computing tasks. Rivals have more satisfying keyboards and more CPU power, but the Folio remains a stylish and intuitive hybrid.
