HP's Got a Crazy-slim Laptop Called the Spectre

Looks like we're not alone in our bid to slim down in the new year.

It's hard to go back to work after a few days off, but HP is sure coming back with a bang. The company this week leaked a video to Engadget that shows an incredibly thin laptop that's believed to be the newest Envy and the latest notebook to join HP's Ultrabook line. The video itself gives away little in the way of information, however, with CES only a week away, it's likely that HP plans to share more about this device in Las Vegas in just a few day's time.

Here's hoping ... Check it out below!

    I second this. Plastic would probably be its death spell.

    I watched the trailer without sound. I have no idea what they're trying to sell, but it seemed to be thin sheets of plastic or glass that rotate in mid air - perhaps some sort of modern art piece.

    If HP wants me to spend money on their product, they'd better showcase the product visually. I like to mute commercials. The splashy effects were nice, but I still don't know what HP is selling.

    Besides, it's HP. They lost my trust in 2007 with a bad laptop.

    death well?

    It's 'death knell' - something that heralds death or destruction

    I always wonder about the marketing firm (and the execs that OK it) that think this is likely to sell me this product.
