HP Spectre 13T-3000

The HP Spectre 13T-3000 is a premium ultrabook without the premium price tag.

Premium design at a reasonable price. Extra-wide trackpad is superb. Intel Core i5-4200U processor and 128GB SSD match the top competitors. A 1080p touch screen.

Middling media performance.

The fact that the HP Spectre 13T-3000 is so competitive with top systems like the Samsung ATIV Book 9 Plus and the Acer Aspire S7-392-6411 is something of a testament to HP's design and manufacturing acumen. While these systems are extremely similar in...

HP Spectre 13 Ultrabook review

On paper, HP's new Spectre 13 ultrabook looks like just another slim 13-inch laptop, with the same basic components and design as dozens of other options in the around-$1,000 category. Its main selling point is a wider-than-normal touch pad, which...

The HP Spectre 13 has a sharp, thin, ultrabook design, high-end upgrade options, a great keyboard, and an extra-wide touch pad.

A handful of other premium ultrabooks offer better value. The extra "control zone" spaces on the touch pad don't feel like a fully realized concept.

The HP Spectre 13 is an excellent all-around ultrabook, with a great keyboard, display, and battery life. The unique Control Zone touch pad is interesting, but I wish it were a little more useful and intuitive.

HP Spectre 13T-3000 – Reviews, Specs and Opinions

The HP Specte 13t-3000 has all the right tools to tackle pretty much any other 13 inch ultrabook of the moment. Personally, I judge the Spectre 13T-3000 with the price in mind. The base version starts at $999, but that's the list price. In reality, you...

4 1/2 stars, only drawback is 8.1 touchiness

Overall the size, weight, speed, and power of this computer are great. It is like having a touchpad computer, but better overall with more power and portability. No cd or blu ray....all Bluetooth, wifi, or thumbdrive. QHD screen is great....worth the...

8.1 is taking getting used to, touch pad can be finicky, sound is not good to me

"Solid Windows Ultrabook with few downsides"

The HP Spectre 13t-3000 is, truly, a premium Windows 8 laptop. The all-metal body and glass screen lend to the upper-end device. It's in a champagne-gold and truffle brown finish, which compliments the style if you're into that. Also, the screen offers...

Sharp, readable screen; good keyboard; responsive trackpad; premium feel

Fairly heavy; wear shows easily

closest PC laptop to a Macbook Air

I'm surprised this machine doesn't get more love. I looked at many laptops before purchase including the Yoga 2 (resolution made fonts too small, build quality not as good) and Thinkpad (best keyboard but very expensive and heavier/larger).
