HP has entered the world of foldable devices with its new creation, the HP Spectre Fold. While this foldable PC offers exciting features, it comes with a hefty price tag of $5,000, making it the most expensive device of its kind in the market.
The Spectre Fold boasts the title of being the world’s smallest and thinnest 17-inch foldable PC, according to HP. Its standout feature is a 17-inch 2.5K OLED touch display with a resolution of 1920 x 2560 pixels. This display provides 400 nits of brightness under standard conditions and an impressive 500 nits when viewing HDR content. The unique 3:4 aspect ratio and IMAX Enhanced certification set this foldable screen apart from the competition.
IMAX Enhanced certification ensures that the Spectre Fold meets specific video and audio performance standards set by IMAX. For this device, it means the display can showcase content in the IMAX aspect ratio, deliver HDR with IMAX-level brightness, and present images with exceptional clarity and minimal distortion.
HP has paid attention to the device’s weight distribution, distributing the battery across the body to maintain balance in various orientations. Despite its size, the Spectre Fold weighs in at just under three pounds, making it surprisingly lightweight.
Under the hood, you’ll find a powerful 12th-generation Intel Core i7 processor, 16GB of RAM, and a spacious 1TB SSD for storage. It also supports Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3, ensuring seamless connectivity. Additionally, the Spectre Fold features a 5MP camera and a 6-cell, 94.3-watt-hour battery, providing up to 12 hours of battery life in laptop mode and 11 hours in desktop mode.
One of the standout features of this foldable device is its versatility. The Spectre Fold can be used in multiple configurations: as a 12.3-inch laptop with a Bluetooth keyboard covering half the screen, in extended view mode with the keyboard slid down, in dual-screen mode with the keyboard detached, or in desktop mode when propped up with the built-in kickstand.
Moreover, the Spectre Fold incorporates AI support, enabling features such as walk-away lock, wake-on approach, and auto screen dimming, enhancing user convenience. The HP Spectre Fold is set to hit the market in October, with a price tag of $5,000. It will be available for purchase on HP’s official website and in limited quantities at Best Buy stores. Customers eager to get their hands on this innovative device can already pre-order it on HP’s website.
