It matches the update the company made with its 13-inch model last year, and the sound quality is pretty good. HP has once again used Bang & Olufsen audio technology in its laptop, with quad speakers, two more than its predecessor. However, when you’re actively steering the cursor with the trackpad, you can still browse the web, use multi-finger gestures to scroll, and move things around. There were times when the cursor would coast randomly across the screen for no apparent reason, an issue that I’ve experienced on at least one other HP laptop.
The trackpad on the 15.6-inch HP Spectre is wide enough that no matter where your hands are on the keyboard, you’ll be able to easily control the cursor. HP provides a backlit keyboard, but you can’t toggle the lighting levels - it’s either on or off. There’s 1.5mm of travel and enough space between keys to make it easy to type out a script, email, or document without any problems. Much of this review was typed on the HP Spectre, and the keyboard felt very comfortable to use. Typing felt normal, with one exception: You have to account for the fact that on the very end is a column featuring the home, page up, page down, and end buttons that can throw off your typing. The keyboard is massive, and there’s no mistaking where the keys are - they take up nearly the entire width of the computer. It’s a change from last year’s model, which was only available in HP’s “natural silver” color. With an aluminum chassis and a black (“ash silver”) and gold finish, the HP Spectre has a polished look that could be well received by creative professionals.

Just like with the MacBook Pro and the Microsoft Surface Book, the HP Spectre is a premium quality device, not only internally but externally as well. But that’s not why HP made this laptop it’s something that really stands out at the home or office. This isn’t a device that you’d want to carry around like a MacBook Air - it certainly isn’t suitable for airplane usage, because it’s so big. This laptop is no brick, but it does have some weight to it, and I could feel it when lugging it around in my backpack to and from the office. By itself, that’s not bad, but the 2017 edition is 0.07 inches thicker and 1.22 pounds heavier than its predecessor. The 15.6-inch Spectre isn’t bulky - it has a thickness of 0.7 inches and weighs in at 4.42 pounds.
