HP Spectre 13
Ultrabook The HP Spectre 13 Ultrabook is a Windows 8 laptop featuring a 13-inch
1080p or QHD resolution touchscreen, Intel Core i5 or i7 Haswell processors,
wide touchpad with gestures, and a 9 hour battery life.With a 1.6-GHz dual-core
Intel Core i5-4200U processor, 4GB of RAM and 128GB solid-state drive, the Spectre
13t is a lightweight speed demon. We opened multiple tabs in both Chrome and
Internet Explorer, streamed music from Spotify and watched Netflix without any
slowdown.The HP Spectre 13 has a sharp, thin, ultrabook design, high-end
upgrade options, a great keyboard, and an extra-wide touch pad.
But,
A handful of other premium ultrabooks offer better value. The extra
"control zone" spaces on the touch pad don't feel like a fully
realized concept.
The
bottom line: The HP Spectre 13 is an excellent all-around ultrabook, with a
great keyboard, display, and battery life. The unique Control Zone touch pad is
interesting, but I wish it were a little more useful and intuitive.

VS Apple MacBook Air New
Intel fourth-gen CPUs help the updated MacBook Air achieve amazing battery
life. The multitouch trackpad is still the industry's best, and even better, the
13-inch MacBook Air now starts at $100 less than the previous model.
Performance:
The
new Haswell processors use very little power, giving the 2013 13-inch MacBook
Air and absolutely stunning battery life. In our test, in which we streamed the
live BBC News channel feed on iPlayer over a wireless network, the laptop
lasted for nine hours. That's significantly better than the 11-inch MacBook
Air's 7 hours 15 minutes, and a substantial improvement over the 2012 MacBook
Air's 5.5 hours.
Since
switching to solid state storage off the shelf with the late 2010 update, the
MacBook Air has been known for its good battery life. But with the Haswell
processors in place, it's absolutely stunning. At last, you can use your
notebook all day long on a single charge.
But,
Newer features such as touch screens and higher-resolution displays are still
missing. The ultrabook competition is catching up, in terms of design.
The
bottom line: Apple keeps the latest MacBook Air updates on the inside, but
greatly improved battery life and a lower starting price make up for a lack of
flashy design changes. Specifications
