HP launches its first foldable PC with the Spectre Fold

HP has just launched its first foldable PC with the new HP Spectre Fold.

The design itself is fairly reminiscent of the ASUS Zenbook 17 Fold and Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Fold. The HP Spectre Fold 14 features a 17-inch 2.5K OLED touch display with IMAX Enhanced certification that comes with a detachable keyboard with a trackpad and a built-in kickstand stand at the back of it.

This allows it to be used in different orientations such as a traditional 12.3-inch laptop when folded 90 degrees, a laptop with an expanded screen, a large tablet, or a desktop with the screen fully unfolded and keyboard detached.

HP also claims that the Spectre Fold is the smallest and thinnest 17-inch foldable PC with AI features such as walk away lock and wake on approach, screen time and distance reminder, and privacy alerts. See below for its full specs and pricing.
