The new model will be 0.9 mm thicker than the previous generation with the promise of improved cooling, longer battery life, and reduced throttling for a 13 percent increase in 3DMark 11 performance. A new design inspired by professionally cut gems puts the charging port at a unique 45-degree angle on the rear corner of the chassis.

I love this angled port idea! It would definitely help for plugging in a second monitor to sit next to the laptop.

The closer to the front of the laptop the type-C ports are, the more difficult it is to manage the cable, even with a 90 degree connector.

Very glad to see the type-A connector still there, too.

Nice and attractive design for new spectre 13. Anyway i'm wondering about real brightness. I have seen 400 nits. I have also seen 650 nits . Does the high brightness exactlly the same on fhd and qhd .? The brightness was really a dark problem for early spectre. . I hope HP have done the job we are waiting about that.
Sincerely  , on the paper, new spectre seems to be fantastic ;;;

@tanguy64:

Spectres have screens around 300 nits of brightness.

It appears HP reserves its more premium offerings for their business line as Lenovo does with Thinkpad X1 and P series.

HP's Elitebooks  and ZBooks provide FHD screens of 500-700 nits and 4k UHD screens of 400 and 600 nits (DreamColor). These are laptops with some of the best screens in the market but also far more expensive as a result. Other aspects including build quality, keyboard, touchpad, ports, reliability and service are an upgrade from the Spectre as well.

Any informed guesses on when the new 2019 models with a 10th gen CPU will be released, or at least announced?
