If you don't mind a slightly thicker, heavier notebook, the Dell XPS 13 ($1,299 for a similar configuration), is the way to go. But considering it has below-average battery life, a display that's dimmer than competitors' and a proclivity to run warm, there's some trade-offs here. The keyboard is also surprisingly comfortable given how slim this system is. At roughly the size of a magazine, it's small enough to take anywhere, and the new white color with gold trim screams premium. If looks were everything, I'd tell you to run out and buy an HP Spectre 13 right now. See how HP performed in our Tech Support Showdown and Best and Worst Brands ranking. HP sells the Spectre 13 with a one-year warranty.

The rest of the bloatware is what you'll find on every Windows 10 system: Candy Crush Soda Saga, Minecraft: Windows 10 Edition, Bubble Witch 3 Saga, March of Empires: War of Lords and Keeper. HP also added on some bloatware: Netflix, a McAfee LiveSafe trial and Dropbox (though, with the latter, you'll get a free 30GB of space for one year if you create an account).

The only offering from HP is its JumpStart program, which includes some tips on how to use your computer. There's not a ton of useful software on the Spectre 13. At my desk, a picture that I took was bright despite the challenging fluorescent lights in the office and was sharp enough to catch individual hairs.

Unlike the Dell XPS 13, which has an awkwardly placed " nosecam," that appears in the bottom bezel, the 720p webcam on the Spectre 13 is located above the display. In fact, the Yoga and XPS 13 endure for more than twice as long as the Spectre. The MacBook (9:29), Yoga 920 (12:22) and XPS 13 (16:05) all offer much better endurance. The average is 8:26, and everything else lasted even longer. It lasted a weak 6 hours and 3 minutes on the Laptop Mag Battery Test, which continuously browses the web over Wi-Fi, putting it far behind all of its ultraportable competitors. It's a good thing the Spectre 13 is so small because you'll need to fit a charger in your bag, too. While that's ahead of the average (5:42), the Yoga 920 (3:17), XPS 13 (3:09) and MacBook (3:02) were even quicker. On our OpenOffice spreadsheet macro test, it took the Spectre 3 minutes and 29 seconds to pair 20,000 names and addresses. That's speedier than both the average (219.9 MBps) and the Yoga 920 (299.9 MBps), but the MacBook (467 MBps) and the XPS 13 (508 MBps) offer blazing speeds that couldn't be beat. The Spectre took 15 seconds to copy 4.97GB of files or 339.3 megabytes per second. The MacBook scored lower (6,853 Core m3), but both the Lenovo Yoga 920 (13,306 Core i7-8550U) and the Dell XPS 13 (14,158 Core i7-8550U) outclassed the rest of the pack. On the Geekbench 4 overall performance test, the Spectre notched a score of 13,090, which is way over the ultraportable-laptop average of 7,110 (which also includes laptops with 7th Gen and lesser CPUs).

That's enough for multitasking on the go I had 30 tabs open in Chrome, including one streaming a 1080p episode of Late Night with Seth Meyers from YouTube. The Spectre 13 packs a 1.8-GHz Intel Core i7-8550U CPU, 8GB of RAM and a 256GB solid-state drive into a slim chassis. I feel like I should be washing my hands before touching the Spectre 13, or wearing white gloves and doing my best Vanna White impression on it. I recommend most people leave it on the default setting, music mode. I used the Bang & Olufsen app to try to turn up the bass, but it didn't do much. However, the Spectre 13 was lacking on the low end. The audio was loud enough to fill our lab when I listened to Jimmy Eat World's "The Middle," and the guitar, drums and vocals were clear. The speakers on the Spectre 13 are par for the course on an ultraportable laptop. It's a good thing the Spectre 13 is so small, because you'll need to a fit a charger in your bag. Whether I was browsing the web or needed to access my notifications, three and four-finger gestures were responsive every time. The 4.3 x 2.1-inch touchpad is roomy and, more importantly, accurate. On the typing test, I blazed away at 116 words per minute, which is just above my usual average, and for the first time ever, I achieved a 0 percent error rate (down from my usual 2 percent).
