HP Spectre Fold
I expected HP’s $5,000 Spectre Fold would be the most premium of premium devices. With that price tag and few companies genuinely trying to make the fabled “3-in-1” laptop, tablet, and PC, I hoped the Spectre would come out on top. Instead, the device is an ultra-expensive prototype with a relatively low-power PC and an overly sizeable 17-inch tablet that nobody in their right mind will try to hold. Thanks to the magnetically attached keyboard, it works best as a relatively small laptop with a functional half-screen add-on. A lot of smart engineering went into the Spectre Fold, and maybe one day, we’ll see a much better product for a much more reasonable price tag. — Kyle Barr
