If the touchpad isn't big enough for you, the screen will do. Still, I can't complain about more surface area on an otherwise excellent touchpad. even though the Spectre has a touchscreen to accomplish this. Why? HP wants those edges to be used for the gesture controls in Windows 8. The middle of HP's pad is smooth and sensitive, while the edges have a rougher texture. ![]() This thing is massive, and that's a great thing for people like me who primarily use a touchpad for traversing laptops. Once opened, you're treated to the Spectre's biggest surprise: a gigantic touchpad. Seriously, you can check to see if there's anything stuck in your teeth just by glancing at this logo. On top of the laptop is HP's logo, which is polished to a mirror-like finish. Depending on how the light hits it, the Spectre can appear purple, blue, or yes, brown. That truffle brown coloring on the Spectre really needs to be seen in order to do it justice. Design, Screen, & Sound Brown is the new black During casual use, the Spectre 13 is a great ultrabook for the price, but some issues with sluggish performance stop this device from excelling any further. ![]() With specs like these and a pleasing form factor, HP's asking-price of $999.99 seems kind of low-a MacBook Air with those specs (minus a touchscreen) starts at $100 more. Aside from looks, the 13-inch Spectre packs a fourth-gen Intel processor clocked at 1.6GHz, 4GB of RAM, a 128GB solid-state drive, and a 1080p touchscreen display. I had never seen a "truffle brown" colored laptop before, which is a shame because it exudes elegance and style-not bad for an ultra-compact computer. That's the predicament I found myself in upon receiving HP's ultrabook, the Spectre 13 (MSRP $999.99).
