I don’t believe folding-screen laptops will be a norm anytime soon. But hey, every tech has to start somewhere, right? Speaking of which, HP is another company that has a folding PC for anyone who desires one. The HP Spectre Foldable PC may not be the world’s first commercially available folding screen laptop but it has stake claim as the world’s smallest and thinnest 17-inch foldable PC. Notice how HP is not calling it a laptop? Well because it is kind of isn’t a laptop. It’s like an AIO on steroids.
Folks, meet the HP Spectre Foldable PC, a groundbreaking 12.3-inch laptop that folds for ultimate versatility. It can be a compact laptop, a 17-inch slim tablet, or a desktop with a built-in kickstand and detachable keyboard. The foldable design ensures a smooth transition between modes, adapting to your changing needs.
This PC is the world’s first foldable device with one-and-a-half screens and a physical keyboard, eliminating the need for extra cables. It offers a remarkable 17-inch continuous screen and leverages Windows Snap and HP enhanced mode for flexible multitasking.
Powered by AI, the Spectre Fold enhances security, wellness, and gesture controls. It includes features like a walk-away lock, auto screen dimming, and privacy alerts. Meanwhile, HP Presence 2.0 delivers a superior conferencing experience and supports Intel Unison for mobile device connectivity.
Under the hood, it boasts a 12th Gen Intel Core i7 Processor on the Intel Evo platform, Intel Iris Xe Graphics, and long battery life. Sustainability is a priority, with eco-friendly materials and packaging.
The HP Spectre Foldable PC is available for pre-order in the U.S. starting at US$4,999.99, with limited quantities in October and wider availability later this fall. I know. The price is out of this world but you know how is it with new tech that isn’t a norm yet. It usually is expensive.
