HP Envy 14 Spectre Review


PC-laptops were unattractive and thick, I remember it used be a black box with a battery that lasts for less than an hour, not to mention the heat and the noise, but after reviewing the HP Envy 14 Spectre I realized that things have changed in the PC universe.

The Spectre is a 14″ 1.8Kg i5-powered laptop from HP that combines elegant design with great performance, with Intel inside and Beats onboard you will definitely enjoy an excellent user experience.

 


 On this side of the Spectre you can find the different IO ports; a Mini DisplayPort, 2 USBs, an HDMI input, ethernet, the audio jack and the built-in memory card reader, so the connectivity of this laptop is pretty awesome!



The Memory Card reader is an excellent addition if you are into photography and video production, you can import videos and photos directly to the laptop or just browse through them, you might say I can do that directly from the camera, but if you are covering a big event you can import and upload your photos faster than usual, your camera can be still free while your import the files.



The Spectre comes with a built-in Beats Audio System, which boosts the audio capabilities of the laptop, that’s one of the points I usually debate with friends about, I always compare the quality of music coming from my MacBook Pro with what ever is coming from their laptops, however I was impressed by the audio capabilities of the Spectre, it’s loud and high in quality as demonstrated in the above video.




Another nice feature in the Spectre is the backlit keyboard, very useful in the dark indeed!



If you are a PC and looking for a decent laptop, you can’t go wrong with Spectre from HP, sleek design, light weight and great performance.
