How do you turn heads when everyone on the block has an Ultrabook—and most of them look like bootleg MacBook Airs? Make yours fast as hell and built from a bunch of damn glass.
The HP Spectre 14 isn’t made entirely out of glass, but it sure does dominate the thing: wristpad, screen, lid, all covered in a shimmering crystalline layer of “scratch-resistant” (Gorilla?) glass. It makes the thing sparkle, but it’s also glowing inside: Core i7 processor, up to 256 GB of SSD storage, and a potential 8 GB of RAM.
The 14-inch Spectre weighs a pound more than the Air, which isn’t trivial, but those looking for an Ultrabook that both stands out and will kill it performance-wise should be pleased. And hey! Beats by Dre audio, if you’re into that.
Just don’t drop it. [HP]
I wonder how hardy this thing will be. Scuffed up glass that can’t be polished out won’t look very pretty.
If this becomes a fad it will be one more thing we will have to be extra carefull while carrying it around. Someone will probably have to design a carrying case/inflatable ball so we can just roll it safely when we are travelling.
An inflatable ball case…?

You are welcome
Let me just clarify that the “you are welcome”, does not refer to the like I placed obviously that is all earned by you. I meant you are welcome to the starred commenter status.
What a smashing idea from HP.
This is earth shattering news

Cracking bit if kit!
