Gorgeous, backlit keyboard, Raisedglass wrist rest actually helps with typing comfort, 1600x900 screen is a huge benefit, Equipped with reasonable ports and solid state drive, Supports both 2.4GHz and 5GHz wireless N
Pricey; we'd expect dedicated graphics in this tier, Glass makes it heavier than competing solutions, Click pad's lack of physical demarcation for the buttons can be frustrating; where is tap to right click?
HP's Envy Spectre 14 is gorgeous. It's also quite pricey, but in that you get one of the best keyboards, a good touch pad, great battery life and, well, a Windows machine that looks like a MacBook Pro. If you've got the cash, then this one comes recomm...
It's expensive for what it is, but the HP Envy 14 Spectre has plenty of appeal thanks to an excellent screen and good input peripherals. It's a very comfortable notebook to use and its performance is good, but not spectacular. It's one of the first laptop...
The HP Envy 14 Spectre has a unique glass-covered design and packs a lot of features into a slim 14-inch ultrabook body, plus its multitouch response is great for a Windows laptop

Abstract: You know how, when you plug in a USB cable, it’s always the wrong way up first time? The HP Envy 14 Spectre is a little like a USB stick – every time I picked it up and went to open it, I got it the wrong way round, and tried to open it hinge-first. Wh...
Abstract: It's a little on the chunky side for an Ultrabook, but HP's new Spectre is still a striking piece of laptop design.We have to admit that at first glance we didn't realise that the Spectre was classed as an Ultrabook. It doesn't have the slim, tapered desi...
Abstract: Fourteen inch laptops are hard to come by - and thin and light ones that are worth your money even more so. As we find out though in our Ultrabook group test, the HP Envy 14 Spectre is one such machine....
