HP's new Spectre is the thinnest notebook in the market today

HP has been busy creating the Spectre Notebook which at 10 mm (as thin as a AAA battery) is the thinnest notebook in the world. A gilded wonder of black metal and copper flourishes, the Spectre Notebook is most definitely a showcase product and while it beats out all other slim and light notebooks in the market today, it also brings substantial processing power to the table.

The Spectre Notebook's feature set includes full-spec 6th generation Core i5 and i7 processors, three USB-C ports–all of which provide power, high-speed data, video out, and sleep and charge capabilities. A full-sized and high-quality keyboard and touchpad, and a 13.3-inch Full HD (1920 x 1080) IPS display. So, very little compromise in an extremely portable form factor boasting a 9-hour battery.
