news 28 Posted July 9, 2012 One of the most impressive laptops at CES 2012 was the HP Envy Spectre. It was a sleek, attractive laptop that seemed to indicate that HP was really starting to understand what the Envy brand could be about. It’s been a long time since a PC OEM was able to challenge Apple in the arena of design. The Spectre indicated that might change. There more to any laptop than design, however. What had made Apple’s products popular is combination of design and functionality. Connectivity aside, the MacBooks are useful tools with big touchpads, nice keyboards and beautiful displays. Any PC alternative needs to compete on the same level.

The Spectre is a strong second swing at Cupertino. It’s built nearly as well as Apple’s products, provides a better display than the 13” Air or Pro and offers significantly better sound quality. I also think the Spectre is more attractive." Thanks for a post!! Ryan Shrout PC Perspective rshrout ( -at -) pcper.com Share this post Link to post
