Hands-on with the HP Spectre Fold: a striking design, slim bezels, a 17-inch 2560 x 1920 OLED display, an 8.5mm body, an Intel i7-1250U, 16GB of RAM, and more asus筆電收購

ch is how well it works with all of its accessories right out of the box – I didn’t need to mess around with Bluetooth settings or anything. I just fired up the laptop, flipped the toggle on the side of the keyboard and they instantly connected. That is a big improvement compared to what I experienced on the Zenbook 17 Fold and its flaky Bluetooth that forced me to manually repair its keyboard on a semi-regular basis. HP also designed the system to have a 5mm fold radius, which allows the keyboard to nest neatly inside the laptop during travel.But the perhaps coolest thing about the Spectre Fold (aside from its display, of course) is what you don’t see: a series of charging coils that are hidden inside one edge of the system. This allows both the keyboard and the stylus (which also attaches magnetically) to trickle charge from the laptop’s battery while not in use, so you never have to worry about topping them up yourself. Though, if the keyboard does for some reason run out of juice, HP does include a special USB power dongle that you can whip out in a pinch.

The bendability makes the Spectre Fold what HP says is its first 3-in-1 as it can transform into a tablet, a portable all-in-one desktop and a few different laptop setups. Tablet mode is pretty straightforward, while AIO mode allows you to prop up the display so you can get the most out of that big 17-inch display (I would have loved to have this while traveling recently).As a laptop, you can choose a somewhat traditional clamshell configuration where you put the keyboard on the bottom half of the display while the top half provides what is essentially a 12.5-inch screen–which is great for tight spaces. Alternatively, you can slide the keyboard towards you to create what HP calls expanded mode, which might be my favorite laptop position. In this setup, the touchpad section of the keyboard drops down and provides a more ergonomic wrist rest. Doing that also reveals more of the folded display (around 14 inches in total) or what HP calls “1.5 screens.” This gives you just enough room to keep things like email or chat apps down below while you have a more important project open up top.

Regardless of which setup you prefer, the laptop tries to give you the largest display possible based on your current environment. And thanks to even more magnets inside the system, the keyboard naturally snaps to these various positions resulting in a surprisingly seamless experience.Granted, even this early I’ve noticed a couple tiny issues, like how the display looks dimmer when viewed from more acute angles, which is what you’ll see in some of its laptop modes. But that’s sort of par for the course even among today’s best flexible screens. Also, while its Intel Core i7-1250U, 16GB of RAM and 1TB SSD delivered relatively snappy performance thus far, I’m not expecting a ton of oomph for stuff like editing videos or even light gaming. Photo by Sam Rutherford/EngadgetHowever, the Spectre Fold’s biggest hurdle is its price: $5,000. That’s even more than the $3,500 asus筆電收購asus Zenbook 17 Fold, which was already an extremely expensive machine. This is enough to put it out of reach of pretty much everyone, which is definitely a bummer. But at the same time, HP says it created this thing in large part just to show what the company can do with today’s cutting-edge tech. And when viewed more as a forward-thinking demo unit than something people are actually going to buy, I’m a bit less upset about its cost (if only just a bit). I should also point out that despite showing it off more than a year ago, Lenovo’s second flexible-screen laptop–the 17-inch ThinkPad X1 Fold–still doesn’t have a concrete release date. This just shows how difficult systems like this are to make even for companies of this size (Lenovo and HP are the two biggest PC vendors in the world).That said, if you’re willing to throw a couple of rent payments (or more) at this thing, pre-orders for the Spectre Fold go live today from Best Buy, with official sales on HP.com and Best Buy expected to happen sometime in October.Latest StoriesEngadgetThe EU wants to criminalize AI-generated porn images and deepfakesThe proposed rules will criminalize the non-consensual sharing of intimate images, including deepfakes made by AI tools, which could help deter revenge porn.6m agoEngadgetChatGPT will digitally tag images generated by DALL-E 3 to help battle misinformationOpenAI is now including provenance metadata in images generated with ChatGPT and DALL-E 3.31m agoEngadgetYouTube TV gets a 1080p Enhanced option that offers better video qualityThe company calls it the “highest video quality” it offers.51m agoEngadgetFinal Fantasy 7 Rebirth adds an addictive card game and some familiar social mechanicsFF7 Rebirth includes an addictive card game, new party dynamics, and space to roam.

你比較喜歡用iOS還是Android系統手機？每年不論是iPhone或是Android系列，各家都推出不少智慧型手機，而兩邊都各自有一票擁護者，究竟哪一邊好用呢？Podcast節目《娜你知道嗎》主持人莫娜就來分享兩種手機系統的體驗感受。

如果你想嘗試更換手機系統，千萬不要擔心被生態系統束縛，莫娜認為，其實這只是習慣的問題，挑自己喜歡的最重要。她以自身經驗為例，當初從iPhone轉向Google Pixel時，也曾感到擔憂，畢竟Android是一個相對開放的系統，用戶可以自由更改設置和下載各種應用程序，有更多個性化體驗；而iOS系統則較為封閉，不允許用戶自由修改，只能通過官方應用商店下載應用程序，但使用過程相對穩定、易上手且界面簡潔美觀。

另一方面，手機外型也是重要的考慮因素，每年的iPhone外觀基本一致，辨識度極高，並且注重耐用性和性能。然而，有多種品牌使用Android系統，如三星、Google、Sony、小米、Vivo、asus筆電收購asus等，每個品牌都有自己的硬體設計和用戶界面，因此軟硬體的結合度不如iOS系統完整。儘管如此，每個品牌都有自己的特色，滿足不同用戶的需求。

此外，還有一些其他考慮因素，例如充電規格，像是今年iPhone 15系列已全面改為USB Type-C。或者是，如果經常換手機，可能需要思考如何處理舊手機，iPhone通常保值較好，而Android系統機的二手價值較低。另外，如果你是一位重度手遊玩家，系統可能會影響你與其他玩家的互動方式，因為部分手遊紀錄是根據系統分開的。

最後莫娜總結，儘管iOS和Android有不同之處，但近年來它們也越來越相似。像是iOS16開始，就增加了一些自定義功能，而Android則更加注重資安和隱私，因此，無論是從iOS轉向Android，亦或反之，都不再是一個艱難的決定，只需要一段時間，就會習慣新的系統，並能夠輕鬆上手，挑選一款符合自身需求和喜好的手機，才是最重要的。
