HP has just launched the Spectre ONE ($1299), an All-In-One (AIO) desktop computer that is only 11.5mm thick at its thinnest point. This computer has been designed to look great, and be a bit of a “show off” piece in some way. To achieve such a lofty goal, HP did put the electronics in the base and got rid of legacy features like the optical drive, and there’s no TV Tuner either. Instead, HP expects customers to use online services and downloads to watch video content. (more…)

Both 820 and 920 phones are very (very!) responsive, and that’s partly thanks to the Windows Phone 8 OS itself. The Lumia 920 is the more interesting device obviously. It looks and feels a bit large, but not close to the Galaxy Note 2 or the LG Vu. The 920 has a polycarbonate body which is extremely resistant (I dropped a Lumia 800 once… oops, it came back totally fine). (more…)

The Spectre series is undoubtedly the high-powered group of computers in HP’s line of personal laptops. The HP Spectre XT TouchSmart is the latest model designed for the upcoming Windows 8 OS. As its name indicates, the display (15″) is a touch screen with which users can perform the various gestures that Windows 8 now supports.

The first thing that popped right away is the display. It is a beautiful 15.6″, 1080p IPS display. We were able to see from a distance that it uses the IPS technology because both the colors and the view angles were quite extraordinary. (more…)
