#HP SPECTRE FOLIO 2020 UPDATE#

HP has also made one of my most requested changes from the Spectre Folio, which featured a pedestrian 16:9 display. It’s still quite attractive, and I like the black color, the accent stitching, and the feel. The Elite Folio also features a new faux “vegan” leather exterior material, which is smoother than its predecessor, and perhaps more responsible and sustainable.

But that update is at least coming, and those who wish to take advantage of it now can, of course, do so via the Windows Insider Program.

Microsoft is working to add Intel 圆4 emulation to WOA, but that work isn’t ready yet, and so it puts potential Elite Folio buyers in somewhat of a compatibility bind from a timing perspective. And that the firm didn’t announce the expected major new chipset in December 2020 as has usually been the case with previous generations. If you’ve been following the WOA saga, you know that Qualcomm released the 8cx Gen 2 in September 2020 as a very minor upgrade to the first-generation 8cx and that doesn’t really advance the state of the art from a performance perspective. Well, aside from the new product family-the Elite family of products is aimed at business users, where Spectre is for prosumers-there are several substantive changes.įirst, the Elite Folio is now powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8cx Gen 2 5G compute platform instead of an Intel chipset, and thus runs Windows 10 on ARM (WOA).
