t-break posted a review on the HP Envy 14 Spectre Ultrabook

There have been many evolutions for the humble notebook, the most recent being the introduction of the Ultrabook, and how every single manufacturer has jumped on the bandwagon to produce the most amazing laptop they can fathom. HP’s foray into the Ultrabook series comes with the HP Envy 14 Spectre, part of its ‘premium’ lineup of laptops. So does this Ultrabook look and feel the part of its premium price tag? Read on to find out.

Build quality & Design

Probably the most remarkable thing about the HP Envy 14 Spectre is the design – this Ultrabook simply oozes ‘posh’ and certainly stands out from the dull matte laptops you’ll see people carrying around (including mine). The Spectre is the first laptop I’ve seen which incorporate glass into its back panel – that’s right, glass. This does bring about two things – firstly the Spectre weighs significantly more than the usual Ultrabook, and secondly it’s glossy finish is nearly impossible to keep clean. Having said that, the laptop just looks absolutely stunning, and the dark black finish will certainly turn heads wherever you go.
