Computer manufacturer HP is targeting the luxury market with its successor to the Spectre range of laptops, which the company claims is the world's thinnest laptop measuring 10.4mm at its slimmest point.
The HP Spectre is just 10.4 mm thick and weighs 1.10 kilograms (2.45 lbs).
Design highlights include a Corning Gorilla Glass covered 13.3in Full HD IPS display, a backlit keyboard, glass trackpad, piston hinge, and dual speakers resulting from a partnership with Bang & Olufsen.
Starting at $1,169 and powered by either an Intel i5 or i7 processor, the copper-accented notebook was unveiled at the 2016 New York Times International Luxury Conference.
To maximize battery life (which is officially listed at 9 hours 30 minutes), HP had to use two types of batteries of different shapes inside its Spectre laptop, giving four cells in total.
