Hey everybody, its Nabeel Mulla with you here again today. Today I'm gonna be
showing you the HP Spectre Folio convertible laptop model number 13 - a
K 0 0 1 3 DX and it runs for about $1400 at the moment. Let's check it out and see
what it's got to offer. It's got 8th generation Intel Core i7 8500 Y
processor at 1.5 gigahertz, 256 gigabytes solid state drive, Windows 10 Home,
touchscreen multi-touch enabled, 8 gigabytes onboard lpddr3 SDRAM, 13.3 inch
diagonal Full HD IPS LED display, Bang & Olufsen speakers, HP IR camera, WLAN
and Bluetooth connectivity. Let's open up the box and see what it looks like
alright so first thing you'll see is the box within the box
inside the box first thing you'll notice is this little diagram that shows the
different ways that you can position the laptop. Here it is closed, open like a
regular laptop, here it is partially folded which is good for watching movies
and here it is in tablet mode folded flat. Under here you've got some nice
matte black looks like Christmas wrapping paper. Inside the wrapping paper
is the laptop itself it's covered in felt with the HP logo and underneath
that here's your power cord part of it. This is the end that plugs into the
laptop and your power cord will plug in here looks like Mickey Mouse. Got your
paperwork Quick Start Guide warranty and technical support information. This will
be to hold your pen the stylus that comes with this laptop. Here's a USB C
cable
here's the rest of the power cable three prong. Here's the stylus. So the stylus
comes with a battery and two spare parts as well as instructions on how to use it
and set it up. This is where the battery goes in. The stylus has two buttons on it
so there's all the peripheral items that come inside the box and now let's get to
the laptop itself. Here it is it's in cognac Brown this is 100% full grain
leather on the outside has the HP logo stamped in there some white stitching
here and the HP logo again on the back. I wish you could smell it it smells
fantastic so the 100% full grain leather is
probably gonna have some people that are super excited about it
maybe they could have gone with some sort of vegan leather option I think
they're trying to convey with the 100% leather that this is a top quality
product. Let me know in the comments down below whether you would rather it be
real leather or fake leather it does smell really good though I'll tell you
that and I know one complaint that lots of
people have with their laptops is how they collect fingerprints like crazy I
don't expect that this leather will get many fingerprints on it
so that's something to keep in mind. So you're gonna see me and the camera in
this shot sorry about that with the high-gloss reflection got my bright
orange Beastie Boys shirt on if you can see that.
So anyway you've got the leather continues on the inside it's all leather
except for the keyboard and the screen itself the keyboard is backlit it's a
full HD display. It is not 4k. Your stylus is gonna connect right in here like so.
The keyboard does not have a separate number pad it does have Bang & Olufsen
speakers back here. It's a touchscreen as I mentioned before with the stylus or
without so here it is in the regular laptop mode then you can pop it out like
this for movie viewing mode and then you can fold it completely like this for
tablet mode here's how thick it is in tablet mode
and to get it back into regular mode you just pull this up and over it's gonna
take some getting used to it it's a little odd how it how it maneuvers and
closed again. I have a previous version of the HP Spectre that I'll show you
here in a minute to compare it to thickness wise this is much thicker than
that was but this is also a touchscreen and the other Spectre that I had the
older version was not convertible like this so... Here you can see I'm getting a
little line right here already in the leather. I suppose that'll just get
bigger and bigger the more that I use it. I'll get this thing plugged in and set
up and we'll check it out. Here's a comparison of the size between the old
and the new Spectre laptops here's the new one that I'm reviewing for you today
you can see the thickness compared to my thumb here's the older one not too
different when they're in their sleeves now the old one which I want to say is
about two years old
here's the old one the old one has all the inputs on the back and it is much
thinner because keep in mind with the new one the leather part doesn't come
off so it's part of the laptop so you're you're getting some extra thickness but
you're also getting more options with it with the touchscreen and being able to
put it in several different positions the old Spectre just opened just in
regular laptop form and that's it that's all it could do as far as weight the new
one is definitely heavier so the new Spectre folio weighs about three pounds
five ounces as compared with the old one that was about 2 pounds 7 ounces so it's
almost a pound heavier than the old version but enough about the old version
let's get this open and show you what it can do so I brought up a video here on
Steam just so you can hear the sound and see the graphics while playing a video
so not too bad it's a very quiet machine there's no fan noise to speak of not
even while I was playing that video so right now it's streaming in the video
over Wi-Fi and I hear nothing over here is where you store the pen and as you
can see you can control the screen when
the battery is supposed to last for 17 hours and 15 minutes which seems like a
highly specific number to me and kind of funny at that can you be more specific
you're on the side you can see got to Thunderbolt or USB C inputs on this side
and then there's one on the other side
is on the other side when you're using this you will feel some warmth on the
bottom but because it's wrapped in leather
it just feels warm it's not like a burning sensation you have to speak here
across the back here now let me zoom in a little bit on the bezel so you've got
just the tip of the pencil maybe a quarter of an inch bezel on the sides
and then a bigger there's a bigger I don't know maybe a half an inch on the
top and about an inch on the bottom it's full HD which is the equivalent of 1080p
here you can see the backlit keyboard
got any questions about it just let me know I'd be happy to try and answer for
you if I don't know it offhand I'd be happy to try and look up the info for
you well I thank you for watching I hope you enjoyed this video please consider
