The elegant design with 2 beautiful color choices, Ceramic White and Dark Ash, is perfect for those of you who like to look stylish. The laptop body is made of Aluminum which is processed by CNC machines and added with carbon fiber material.

One of the interesting things about this laptop is the hinge. The unique coaxial hinge makes it invisible when the laptop is folded. Plus the illuminated type keyboard adds an elegant impression to this laptop. Backlit keyboard keys that can light up make it easier for you to type in low light conditions. The keyboard is also made to stretch from right to left so that your typing field feels wider. The wide touchpad supports multi-touch, making it easier for you to navigate and control the laptop.


Latest HP Specter 13 Price

The HP Specter 13 price tag varies depending on specifications and color choices. The HP Specter 13 laptop variant in Ceramic White color with an 8th generation Intel Core i7 processor, 16GB RAM, and 512GB PCIe SSD is sold at a price of Rp. 24,699,000. Interestingly, the Dark Ash color laptop variant with the same specifications is sold at a cheaper price of Rp. 23,999,000, or Rp. 700,000 cheaper. In the purchase package, HP has included a bonus HP Explorer Gray 15.6-inch backpack. At this price, how great is the HP Specter 13 laptop?

Latest 8th Generation Intel Core Processor

The HP Specter 13 is equipped with an 8th generation Intel Core U series processor designed specifically for laptops. This power-efficient processor has high computing performance so it can handle heavy work with ease. For example, the HP Specter 13 laptop with Intel Core i7-8550U is equipped with four cores with a maximum speed of up to 4.0 GHz. Very high speed makes heavy applications such as photo and video processing feel light to use. Plus, thanks to Hyper Threading technology, each core can work twice as much so that the multitasking ability of this laptop can be better than a laptop with a regular quad core processor.

Large Memory and Storage Capacity

The laptop's high multitasking ability is also supported by a large RAM capacity. For the standard version, this laptop is supported by 16GB of RAM, 4 times larger than conventional laptops. In addition, the HP Specter 13 also uses PCIe SSD storage which is faster than regular SSDs. SSD storage is able to control the performance and response of the computer system so that it can work faster. The standard version of the HP Specter 13 is equipped with a 512 GB SSD, while there are also other variants with 256 GB and 1 TB SSDs.

Big and Long Lasting Battery

Despite having a super thin body, the battery life of this laptop is quite extraordinary. For normal use, the HP Specter 13 laptop battery can last up to 10 hours. HP also provides a Fast Charge feature to shorten the battery recharging time. To get a battery with a large capacity in a thin laptop, HP takes advantage of the Step Cell battery design that utilizes every free space in the laptop to accommodate the battery.

Touch Screen with 8 Million Pixels

Working with the HP Specter 13 will definitely be more fun. Its 13.3-inch wide screen supports resolutions up to 4K. 8 million pixels on one screen makes images look sharper and brighter than Full HD screens. But to get a laptop with a 4K screen, you have to spend more money, because the 4K screen version is more expensive than the standard version with a Full HD screen.

Connectivity Equipment

The HP Specter 13 is equipped with a fairly complete connectivity port. The USB Type C port with Thunderbolt technology can be used to charge the battery, output display to a monitor or projector, or transfer data at speeds up to 40 GB/s. Wireless connectivity is also included. This laptop supports WiFi 802.11ac and Bluetooth 4.2, so connecting the laptop to any device doesn't have to be a hassle anymore.
