HP spectre folio is the new version of laptop launched by HP. Its starting range is around 1300 US
Dollars.
It is made of leather!
It is a unique computer made out of leather. Leather gives it an elegant and stylish outlook that other
laptops do not have. The only disadvantage of the leather is that it makes the laptop heavy. The laptop
weighs around 3.26 pounds. It is nearly half a pound heavier than an ordinary laptop of the same size.
Monitor set up
The Folio screen has a flex point, right in the middle of it. It allows you to pull it forward for a
tent set up. It is great for watching movies on a plane. It is also great for pushing more forward
for almost like a Tab position. You can set up the ideal angle for your required work due to its
strong hinge.
Processor
The processor is a fanless, Y series Core i7 Processor. It is not the most powerful processor available
processor. However, it can handle productivity tests with no big issues. The processor enables incredible
battery life to the laptop.

The speakers are too sharp, it can be disturbing for the ears if the volume is full. The bass settings is
unavailable.
The track pad is too small which can disturb the overall experience.
