PHOTOS: World’s thinnest laptop unveiled today

Until now, Apple’s MacBook Air has held the title of thinnest and lightest laptop, but all that changes today with the unveiling of the HP Spectre. It’s just 13.3 inches diagonally across and 2.45 pounds, though larger sizes of 17.3 and 15.6 inches diagonally across are also available.

“The HP Spectre is the thinnest notebook in the world, and unlike the majority of other super thin PCs on the market, this laptop doesn’t compromise power or features,” says Kevin Frost, vice president and general manager, consumer personal systems, HP Inc. in a press release.
