HP Unveils New Envy and Spectre Portfolio of Notebooks

HP Inc. has announced its newest HP Spectre and HP Envy laptops built with the flexibility to create and live in today’s hybrid world.

The last few years have seen the rise of the creator economy and flexible working, introducing endless possibilities for people to pursue their passions as a part-time or full-time opportunity. In a recent survey, HP found that 89% of respondents agreed that Hybrid Working provides an opportunity to improve employee well-being and work-life balance, and three in five people agree that hybrid working gives workers more opportunity to focus on their health and well-being, freeing them up to do more of the things they love.

“Creators aren’t just limited to professional photographers, designers, composers, and editors – everyone is a creator, collaborating with friends, family, and colleagues and creating from home, work, and all the places in between,” said Ken Maher, Senior Director of Personal Systems, HP ANZ. “Today’s hybrid world requires a new perspective on what to create with, which is why HP is launching a diverse set of devices across its Spectre and Envy portfolios to enable creation without limitation.”

Create in a smooth, seamless, and collaborative way with the newest lineup of Spectre and Envy PCs. These devices are built with HP Presence and a 5MP IR Intelligent camera to deliver high quality video and audio call experiences, with features like:
