The 13.3-inch Spectre's big claim to fame here is its minuscule size and the amount of power its able to pack inside that tiny frame. Normally, as computers devolve from gargantuan machines to teeny laptops, you start seeing performance trade-offs. A processor is be first to downgrade -- see the case of the Apple's MacBook -- because a low-power processor means no heat sinks or cooling fans. The result? Maximum thinness.

With the new Spectre, HP decided to eschew traditional design and stick with the powerful Core I Skylake chips -- the best Intel processors found in most high-end laptops -- yet still keep that impressively small and lightweight figure. In fact, it comes in at 10.4mm thick -- almost 3mm thinner than Apple's MacBook, which we already called "Stupidly Thin".
