HP Spectre
HP Spectre is a discontinued line of premium portable computers from HP Inc. (formerly Hewlett-Packard). Beginning as a high-end version of the HP Envy line in 2012, it became HP's flagship line of laptop products for consumers as of 2015.
As of 2024[update], the Spectre line has been phased out in favor of the AI-powered OmniBook series (a consumer-oriented revival of an old Hewlett-Packard brand of the same name that was originally defunct after the 2002 merger with Compaq) due to a corporate brand streamlining that happened that year. All remaining Spectre models were sold up until July 2025, when they were replaced by the OmniBook Ultra series.
The Spectre first appeared as a model under the Envy series: Envy 14 Spectre. This ultrabook (i.e. Intel's designation of thin high-end laptops) received a large amount of attention when revealed at CES 2012, and it won CNET's Best of CES award in its category. Retailing for US$1399, it weighs four pounds and includes a radiance display, a gorilla glass screen and palm rest, a buttonless multitouch touchpad, an NFC chip and solid-state drive.
Envy Spectre XT is a 13-inch ultrabook that retailed for US$999 in 2012. A variant called Envy Spectre XT Pro was also released, which is the same but includes a TPM module and ships with Windows 7 Professional. It retailed for $100 extra.
The Spectre XT TouchSmart (see also: HP TouchSmart) has the same design as the Envy Spectre XT, but with a larger footprint and the addition of a touch operated display. Announced in September 2012, it shipped with Windows 8.
In September 2012, HP announced Spectre One, an all in one desktop computer shipping with Windows 8. It has a 23.6-inch display, measures 11.5 mm thick, and covered by edge to edge glass.
The HP Spectre 13 ultrabook (model no. series 13-3000) introduced in 2013 has a fourth generation Intel Core (Haswell) processor, Intel HD 4400 graphics, and a full HD IPS display with optional 2560×1440 Sharp IGZO display upgrade.
The Spectre 13 x2 (model no. series 13-H) is a 13.3-inch detachable hybrid ultrabook that doubles as a standalone tablet or a laptop. This is the first fanless detachable hybrid ultrabook powered by Intel's Haswell (fourth generation Core) processor. It was available for pre-order in October 2013 with prices of $1099.
