HP Unveils Extraordinary Glass Design in New HP ENVY 14 Spectre

PALO ALTO, CA, Jan 09 (MARKET WIRE) --
HP (NYSE: HPQ) today revealed the HP ENVY 14 Spectre, a premium consumer
Ultrabook PC that commands attention with its unparalleled use of glass
and stunning performance.

Tough yet beautiful, the HP ENVY 14 Spectre uses lightweight,
scratch-resistant glass on the lid, display, palmrest and HP ImagePad --
an industry first. A full 14-inch screen inside a 13.3-inch body means
customers can get more enjoyment from their entertainment. The HP Spectre
joins the award-winning ENVY portfolio, alongside the recently introduced
HP ENVY 15 and HP ENVY 17.

"Sleek, midnight black glass on the outside and stark contrast silver
glass on the inside make Spectre extraordinary, defying conventional
notebook design," said Eric Keshin, senior vice president, Strategy and
Marketing, Personal Systems Group, HP. "We chose the Spectre name to
evoke mystery, and we packed it with the best in entertainment technology
to satisfy those who expect the unexpected."

The HP Spectre's high-definition (HD)(1) HP Radiance Display offers some
of the industry's highest resolution and richest color for better
brightness and wider viewing angles than traditional notebook displays.

Equipped with a matching audio-grade speaker mesh and Beats Audio(TM), an
exclusive, high-performance technology developed by HP and Beats by Dr.
Dre, the HP Spectre boasts an aluminum analog volume dial that acts as a
visual design cue and works seamlessly with Beats Audio Manager to
precisely adjust audio levels.

Built-in HP Wireless Audio turns any home into a concert hall, allowing
users to stream uncompressed audio to up to four external devices or
directly to any KleerNet(TM)-compatible device.

An HP Radiance Backlit keyboard provides outstanding illumination using
individual LEDs dedicated to each keycap. The keyboard works with an
advanced proximity sensor to intelligently sense a user's presence,
lighting up when a user approaches and dimming down after he or she
leaves.

Uncompromising performance
The HP Spectre is blazingly fast, stunningly
sleek and boasts up to 9 hours of battery life.(2)

Powered by the latest Intel(R) Core(TM) processors,(3) the 20-mm-thin HP
Spectre weighs less than 4 pounds(4) and includes up to 256 gigabytes
(GB) of storage. Intel Rapid Start Technology and support for two
ultrafast mSATA solid state drives(5) allow for quick boot and resume
times.

The HP Spectre also comes loaded with HP exclusives, such as HP CoolSense
technology, which automatically adjusts performance and internal fan
settings for a noticeably cooler PC. In addition, the HP ImagePad
provides precise multifinger touch navigation and the HP TrueVision HD(1)
Webcam provides brighter, cleaner HD images.

Eliminating the need for external dongles, the HP Spectre features a full
array of advanced input and output options, including Gigabit Ethernet,
USB 3.0, HDMI and Mini DisplayPort.

Additionally, the HP Spectre offers a performance-tuned software image,
full versions of Adobe Photoshop(R) Elements 10 and Adobe Premiere
Elements 10, two years of preinstalled Norton(TM) Internet Security(6)
and a concierge phone line for technical support that is dedicated
exclusively to HP ENVY users.

Pricing and availability
The HP ENVY 14 Spectre notebook PC is expected
to be available in the United States on Feb. 8 with a starting price of
$1,399.99.(7)

The HP Spectre also is planned to be available in early March in
additional countries, including Australia, Canada, Germany, Japan,
Singapore, Switzerland, United Arab Emirates and the United Kingdom.
