HP launches Spectre XT Ultrabook, starts at $999

In order to celebrate the launch of the Spectre XT Ultrabook, HP Canada held a Wine Pairing event yesterday at the well hidden VIntage Conservatory at 100 Lombard St.,Toronto. The new Spectre is a slimmed down version of the original Spectre. That first Spectre was suited top to bottom in Gorilla Glass but the Spectre XT, which retails for a $999 starting price, is mostly aluminum.
