The Coolest Laptop Design Yet...#Helpful Post

hey guys this is Austin there are a lot

of different 201 and laptop designs but

the HP Spectre folio might just be the

most unique yet when Intel wanted to

sponsor a video on the Spectre folio I

couldn't say no I mean just look at this

thing so in addition to being a tablet

you can very easily pull out the screen

and use it in the video mode or if you

want to go full tablet mode on it it

will lie completely flat on top of

having it as a tablet you don't have to

have the keyboard around back like most

other 201 designs it's like a super cool

idea there it isn't a case on this

laptop by the way it's actually made out

of leather so what HP has done is

they've combined and magnesium chassis

with leather so now that does it smell

great but on top of that when you close

it up it looks like a nice little folio

case oh that one I call it the HP

Spectre folio I just got that it's like

a full okay they've brought the entire

thing up into what I think is a pretty

cool looking package can you tell that

really like this thing open it up and

you'll have a better idea of how this

all works so on the bottom part we have

a magnesium chassis which is where you

have your keyboard you have your battery

as well as the motherboard and the

screen itself is hinged not only on the

bottom so you can open and close it like

a laptop but it's also magnetically

attached on the bottom so if I want to

just move it over to like say another

mode it's all really straightforward

it's a much much smarter idea than

pretty much any other tool one I've ever

tried does that being mean to other to

own ones I mean I actually legitimately

feel like this is a super super clever

idea it just worked right fire it up and

the cool stuff doesn't stop there so my

model is outfitted with the eighth

generation Core i7 8500 why and that's

backed up with 16 gigs of ram as well as

a 256 gig SSD that core i7 is a Y series

processor which means that this is an

entirely fanless system as you might

have guessed considering just how thin

it is but you are still getting that

full windows performance and as a

dual-core chip

well it's clocked at only 1.5 gigahertz

at the base it can turbo all the way to

4.2 gigahertz the screen is also pretty

cool so in addition to it being a 13.3

inch display with a 1080p resolution and

it is a full touch screen but

importantly if you take a look at it it

is super super thin which is important

for a design like this did that just

flash what was that

you mean the real-life window they just

flash with lightning outside scary but

it's also got an Intel one watt panel

which is especially helpful for battery

life so traditionally with such a thin

light laptop you have to have a very

small battery and the screen is actually

one of the main things that draws power

but with this guy they claim up to 18

hours of battery life and I've easily

been able to get well over a day of use

with it a nice touch with this mode is

the touchpad positioning so a lot of

times was a two and one you don't quite

have access to well anything when you

put it up all the way forward but here

you still get that nice angle the

screens closer to you but you also have

your touchpad available what really

pushes this over the edge though is the

built-in gigabit LTE connection so if

you take a look at the screen you pop it

up what you'll find is that there's a

tiny little SIM card slot here what's

really cool about this is the

flexibility I get I don't need to deal

with sketchy public Wi-Fi I don't need

to worry about killing my phone battery

with tethering I mean it's just it's

just online it's really simple I just

open it up and I'm online you probably

know Intel for making processors but

they also make LTE modems for all kinds

of devices including the spectre folio

you might even be using a phone with an

Intel modem right now no no you probably

won't want to do hardcore video editing

or gaming on this guy but it is powered

by that full core i7 processor which

means that things like Photoshop and of

course all the staples like Chrome and

Word will all work completely fine here

and since you're always connected you

have access to cloud apps such as Google

Docs as well as of course all the local

stuff you want it really is the best of

both worlds

although I guess to be fair this is not

the only laptop in the world that does

have LTE there are other Intel options

with 7th and 8th gen processors that do

have LTE this is sort of my favorite

blend of not only the form factor but

also the portability and the access to

the power and the speed and battery life

and the leather smell there's a lot of

other great stuff with the Spector folio

starting out with we have the stylus

which is included something that other

companies might want to take note on as

a joke she has a pun we also have like

how you're all just shaking your heads

there's also Windows hello support from

facial recognition there's the excellent

backlit keyboard the HP's been using for

a while and there's a really solid

selection of ports a USB see on the left

side as well as 2 Thunderbolt threes on

the right side and all of them support

not only power but data video out all

that kind of fun stuff of course it's

not all perfect so the touchpad is good

but it does like Windows precision

drivers it does have pretty solid

speakers a little a lack a little bit of

bass

and at fifty hundred dollars for the ice

of a model with LTE it is certainly not

cheap overall though with the killer

design the portability the performance

to run proper Windows apps and that

always connected LTE really I mean

there's not a lot to complain about this

is one of the most unique devices I've

taken a look at all year long
