Equipped with Windows 8 has the HP TouchSmart XT Spectre Ultrabook a 15.6 inch multi-touch display measuring with an IPS panel and full HD resolution. Like the previous model, it is wrapped in metal. The Ultrabook is only 17.9 millimeters thick and weighs 2.16 kilograms.
HP has integrated the Spectre XT TouchSmart for the first time Intel's Thunderbolt technology - which provides faster transfer of data such as music and video on external devices. Additional facilities inside the Ultrabooks as selected current processors with Core i5 or i7 chipset 6 cells HP pavilion dv3000 battery and a mSATA SSD with Intel Rapid Start technology - ensures, according to Intel for faster boot and resume from standby mode .
A number HP-proprietary technique is used, as for example, the technology for CoolSense cooling and HP mini 311 battery Imagepad which consists of glass and can be operated with a plurality of fingers. The USB Boost Technology is homemade: The Ultrabook invites Nonoperating via USB connected devices.
The hardware equipment has been built around an Intel Core i5-3317U dual-core processor of the current middle class. This chip works with a base clock of 1.7 GHz and is manufactured in 22-nanometer process. For the graph in this case the integrated Intel GMA HD 4000 GPU is responsible. Other components include 128 GB of SSD storage, 4 GB of DDR3 memory, the latest wireless technology, and speakers from Beats Audio, which are actively promoted by many logos. The HP EV089AA Ultrabook is currently available in Germany for 999 Euro. An all-round package for demanding clients, or at least more apparent than real?
The housing is a driving force of the Envy Spectre XT be 13. Compared to Apple or HP, Asus uses not on a unibody chassis from billet aluminum. Rather, it is a combination of brushed aluminum (keyboard lid), a magnesium alloy with a soft-touch surface on the underside and glossy plastic for the screen surround. The color combination of black and silver looks altogether timeless and modern. The editor likes the look of the Ultrabooks. The angular design and the forward lean expectant chassis play their part in this.
The process leaves a positive impression: No uneven gaps and smooth transitions between the body parts are an indicator. The stability is in order, at higher pressure, the base unit is on but visible. In everyday use, however, this is not negative. The display cover can be relatively easy to get over. Unusual noises occur, however, on no. The hinges have a tight grip, with a clear whipping strikes. A slight disadvantage in this respect is the resonance of thecase, if you want to open the lid with one hand. The lower part must be fixed, despite front untergebrachtem HP HSTNN-DB42 battery always.
The sides of the Ultrabooks accommodate the most necessary connections. These include a USB 3.0 port for speedy peripherals, an HDMI-out port for external display or an RJ-45 network jack for wired communications. The latter can be due to the low profile, not all devices of this class. A card reader, audio combo jack and another USB port complete the simple interface size. The layout and positioning leave nothing to be desired, however, a third USB port would certainly be present.
Overall, the run-time check for this device includes three measurements. Will start with the Classic Test from Presario cq61 battery Eater tool. Here the system is loaded at maximum brightness, enabled mobile technologies and is a keyboard illumination. After a short 92 minutes, the fully charged battery completely used and a socket is the next port of call. In contrast to this is the Reader's test. Reading a text document requires few resources, the mobile technologies are turned off, minimizing the screen brightness. Only after about 10 hours, the measurement has been completed on our test model, this scenario appears unlikely in everyday. One reason for this is the glossy screen surface that restricts the reading in a bright environment, combined with the minimal lighting.
A happy medium between these two extremes, the measurement 'surfing via WLAN'. M at a standard brightness of 150 cd / at intervals of 40 seconds of different websites can be controlled automatically. With a running time of 5 hours and 14 minutes shows the Envy Spectre XT 13 an acceptable result for the class of devices and the size of the HP g70 battery. HP speaks of up to seven hours of battery life, the test setup is not set forth in the specifications.
The HP Envy 13-2000eg XT Spectre Ultrabook leaves us with a laughing and a crying eye. The high quality and stable aluminum housing and a suitable alloy pleasant input devices including keyboard light and the application performance of the components are strong pluses. On the other side of the poor tarnish screen that annoying fan housing and the cooling system of the positive impression to date. The current communications and the Beats Audio speakers are factors that the review does not raise disproportionately.
