It's possible to open the lid of the laptop without having to hold the base down, which is a mark of good weight distribution. The next engineering trick is the Spectre 13's hidden hinge design. The lid does an excellent job at protecting the display, and we found virtually no flex or warping. HP has used edge-to-edge Gorilla Glass 4 for structural strength. However, this resolution isn't as high as we've seen on some other premium laptops. The full-HD resolution ensures that text and images are readable, and colour reproduction is also very good. The 13.3-inch glossy display has good levels of brightness, which helps deal with reflections. The Spectre 13 is first laptop to debut HP's slick new logo, which will be seen on all its premium products going forward. Thankfully, HP ships the Spectre 13 with Thunderbolt adapters for USB, HDMI, VGA, and Ethernet. You can use the any of the Type-C ports to plug external devices in. We have a 3.5mm headphones and microphone combo port, two USB Type-C Thunderbolt 3 ports and one additional USB Type-C (USB 3.1) port for charging. In order to achieve this slim profile, HP has moved all the ports to the back of the laptop on the copper-coloured strip. The Spectre 13 might look incredibly sleek, but it can tolerate a bit of rough usage. In fact, most people we showed this laptop to had a tough time believing it was indeed a laptop, up until we opened the lid. It's ridiculously thin and light at just 1.1kg, which has even the 13-inch MacBook Air beat. The body is crafted from aluminium and carbon fibre which lends it a lovely texture, but also ensures that it can endure the rigours of everyday use. The Spectre 13 is quite possibly one of the best built laptops we've come across thus far.
