![]() ![]() And that can of course be squeezed to 5+ hours when using the computer lightly, switching off the keyboard’s illumination or dimming the screen. Battery lifeīack to that battery, there’s a 4 Cell 45 Wh one on the Spectre XT and it provides enough juice for about 4 and a half hours of daily use, on HP’s recommended power profile, with the screen at 60%, while performing various casual tasks. There’s also a TPM module embedded and can be sold with Computrace, on top of the other pieces of software HP bundles on this unit, including Office Starter and a bunch of others. Now, before talking about the battery life and prices, I should remind you that this is a business designed laptop, which means that the Specte XT Pro comes with Windows 7 Professional by default. As for the connectivity, the Spectre XT Pro does not feature an integrated cellular module, but uses Intel’s Centrino N6235 wireless platform, which provides excellent speeds and bundles Bluetooth 4.0 and WiDi. I should also mention the HD webcam on top of the laptop, which performs alright as long as there’s some light in the room, otherwise the provided images are going to be grainy. The Beats Audio speakers on the laptop are loud, but sound a bit blunt Still, this is definitely better than what you get on most other 13 inch ultrabooks available right now. However, while they do provide punchy and loud sound for a 13.3 inch laptop, I was probably expecting them to be somewhat better in terms of audio quality as well, as the sound feels a bit blunt. There are four of them packed on this laptop, two on the bottom and two on top of the keyboard. Of course, the sound is usually going to be covered by the overall good speakers on this unit. But you’ll never feel that this HP Spectre XT Pro gets too loud. When watching some HD movies, editing some photos or performing some other tasks that will require a bit of extra power, the fans will kick on and you’ll hear them when using the laptop in a completely silent room. ![]() During daily use, the fans stay quiet as well and for most of the time they are even completely shut down. It also runs cool and it’s never going to get very hot, not even when push. Long story short though, the Spectre XT feels pretty much as any of the other top ultrabooks in this class right now. It also helps the laptop boot fast (in under 25 seconds) and resume from sleep almost instantly, which is indeed what you’d expect from an ultrabook in this price range. Systems may require upgraded and/or separately purchased hardware, drivers and/or software to take full advantage of Windows functionality.You’ll notice that the numbers are quite high and the fast SSD takes the “blame” for that.
