Top-Grade Convertible

INspite of its hefty price tag, HP’s Spectre Folio is bound to get mixed reactions as far as looks are concerned. Clad in cognac brown genuine leather, it could be a head-turner but only if you have a taste for the classic corporate combo of leather and metal. However, what matters most is what is under the hood and how well it performs.

As it is a convertible, there is multimode play, which means you can switch from laptop to tablet to a standing mode that the company calls ‘forward’. It is a little unusual, but the hinge is at the centre of the display (attached to the leather), giving it a limberness and flexibility that would put any yoga guru to shame. A slight backward push and a sliding motion will release the display from the bottom frame so that tablet or forward mode can be activated.
