![]() The Core i5 configuration starts at $1,300, while the model with a Core i7 processor and LTE starts at $1,500. The Spectre Folio is available for pre-order today and ships at the end of October. HP estimates it will get up to a whopping 18 hours of battery life. Fortunately, there’s also a digital eSIM embedded in the laptop. ![]() There’s a nano-SIM card slot wedged into the top cover of the laptop, which, based on my brief hands-on time with the machine, seems to be an awkward place for it. The structural support for the computer’s components is made of metal, but its exterior clamshell is all cow. HP says it’s the world’s first leather laptop, and I have no reason to doubt this: WIRED has evaluated plenty of leather accessories for consumer electronics, but never a leather-bonded laptop. HP is using 100 percent genuine, chrome-tanned leather for this new machine, and is shipping it in two tones, warm brown and a deeper bordeaux. Rather than folding the display backwards, you’re supposed pull it forward, directly over the keyboard, where magnets latch the display into place either at the base of the key tray (if you’re tenting the display) or at the edge of the laptop’s bottom half (if you’re laying it flat). ![]() That part of the Spectre Folio’s design is slightly different from other laptops too. It’s a convertible, which means it can be propped up, turned into a tablet, tented, or just used like a regular laptop. That’s what HP did with its new HP Spectre Folio, a high-end laptop that’s bonded with leather, and that HP is marketing with the cringeworthy term manucrafturing. ![]()
