Hands on: HP Spectre Folio Review
Source: Trusted Reviews Archive.org version
The HP Spectre Folio is a flexible and well-designed 2-in-1 Windows 10 laptop-tablet with a few drawbacks, including storage and a design which muffles the integrated speakers in certain configurations.

If you need more power or desire a firmer keyboard, you’ll need to look elsewhere. For most people, though, the Folio represents a capable and versatile hybrid that’ll handle most tasks for more than a day – and it’ll look great while doing it.

Hands-on with the HP Spectre Folio, a stylish convertible made out of aluminum and leather

To be fair, the Spectre Folio had actually made its debut nearly a month ago. It's a notebook that breaks the ubiquitous, all-metal design template that has become the norm for all notebook manufacturers.

80% HP Spectre Folio Review: A classy leather 2-in-1 ultrabook
Source: Slashgear Archive.org version
The HP Spectre Folio is truly a unique laptop and that uniqueness will no doubt be a very compelling factor for some consumers. The built-in portfolio case is classy and hard to ignore, but HP went beyond the surface, also focusing on a hinge design that is superior to many competing 2-in-1 notebooks.

The new HP Spectre Folio is a well-balanced ultralight convertible laptop that checks off all the right boxes. Any notebook that combines superb battery life, respectable performance, beautiful looks, luxurious feel and makes you want to take a second whiff, is worthy of our Editor’s Choice award. HP hit a home run with the Spectre Folio and its easily one of the best premium 2-in-1 we’ve tested to date.

HP's inventive two-in-one hybrid is fun to use and show off, but its ambitious hinge design can get in the way at times.

Swathed in swanky leather and kitted out with a new, power-efficient screen, HP's Spectre Folio is a unique, innovative ultraportable. Alas, its styling and pricing are as over-the-top as its performance is underwhelming.

80% HP Spectre Folio review: This leather PC means business
Source: Engadget Archive.org version
The idea of a leather computer is crazy, and it's even crazier to think that HP is the company that risked building it. But it turns out the company is onto something. Even if you're not interested in buying the Folio though, it proves to the PC world that there's value in exploring new materials and designs. So who needs a leather computer? In a sense, the entire computing industry does.

HP's leather-clad Spectre Folio is one classy notebook

There are various versions of the Folio, which will be available at different times, so pay attention carefully to release dates to make sure you get the variation that's right for you. Firstly, it will come in two colours: a brown cognac, and a burgundy bordeaux, with the latter of the two coming later this year. A 4K version will also be available in December 2018.

HP Spectre Folio: The ‘iPace’ Of 2-in-1 Laptops
Source: Techreview Source Archive.org version
I think the supposed “PC decline” was less about some big change in the buying public and more about the lack of demand generation and innovative products. HP has stepped up with both and this new HP Spectre Folio is both innovative and desirable for those that would really like a 2-in-1 personal computer. It has style, it has comfort, and it represents a direction towards innovation that this market has sorely needed. Now if it just came in blue/black.

Intel UHD Graphics 615: Integrated graphics card in some Amber Lake Y-series processors (5 Watt TDP) with 24 EUs (GT2) and no dedicated graphics memory. Clocks with up to 1000 MHz depending on the CPU Model. 

Non demanding games should be playable with these graphics cards.

» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Graphics Cards and the corresponding Benchmark List.

i7-8500Y: Extremely efficient ULV-SoC (System-on-a-Chip) for tablets and fanless notebooks based on the Amber Lake architecture which is basically a Kaby Lake chip produced in the improved 14nm+ process (no 14nm++) with higher clock speeds and 5 Watt TDP. Includes two CPU cores clocked at 1.5 - 4.2 GHz with Hyper Threading support as well as a graphics adapter. Fastest Amber Lake-Y chip at the time of announcement.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.

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.

78.88%: This rating is not earth-shattering. This rating must actually be seen as average, since there are about as many devices with worse ratings as better ones. A purchase recommendation can only be seen with a lot of goodwill, unless it is about websites that generally rate strictly.
