HP today announced a new Windows 10 laptop that aims to “reinvent the PCs”. While it sounds like a bold statement, the company has indeed unveiled something that looks and works like a laptop but the device is slightly unique.
In another bold statement, the PC maker HP claims the Spectre Folio “basically has no flaws”.
HP Spectre Folio features a magnesium body but the exterior is made of leather and the company has managed to improve the battery backup by combining it with a tiny motherboard.
The design

The transition from tablet mode to tent mode and laptop mode is smooth. HP’s new converging mechanism is almost flawless.
