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

The last few years have seen the rise of the creator economy, introducing endless possibilities for people to pursue their passions as a part-time or full-time opportunity. Sixty-eight percent of creators started or expanded their freelance business during the pandemic1, with 98% of them monetizing their content creation part-time2. These hustlers need tools that allow them to collaborate with others easily as 56% of creators feel less engaged with the speaker if their video is turned off3. And performance equals productivity, which is why 60% of creators prize performance in a computer4.

“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 Josephine Tan, Global Head, Consumer Personal Systems, HP Inc. “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 With Whomever You Want

Create in a smooth, seamless, and collaborative way with the newest lineup of Spectre and Envy PCs. These devices are built with HP Presence5 and HP GlamCam to deliver amazing video and audio call experiences, with features like:

  • A 5 MP camera for picture-perfect clarity when collaborating with colleagues or pitching clients6.
  • HP Auto Frame and HP Dynamic Voice Leveling for an interactive video and sound experience no matter where you are in the room.
  • Backlight Adjustment to autocorrect video images in any environment where you may be taking a call7.
  • Appearance Filter8 for the 60% of us who are more self-conscious on camera than in real life9. This feature allows you to easily touch up skin, teeth, and eyes.
  • Bi-directional AI noise reduction, directional beamforming mics, and quad speakers for a superb sound experience during video or audio calls.
  • Network Booster for network bandwidth optimization to reduce screen freezes and dropped calls.
  • AI-based privacy alerts to collaborate and create in public spaces, blurring the screen when someone is behind you10.

Create Whatever You Want

No matter what type of creator you are, performance is key. The newest Spectre and Envy PCs offer a wide range of options including processors, displays, and more to make sure your device fits how you want to use it. This includes:

  • Up to a 4K OLED display for a more natural viewing experience11, and a 120 Hz display for a 2x faster display refresh rate for smooth, response actions12.
  • A touch display to leverage multi-gestures like pinch-to-zoom, double tap, and press and hold to create and easily manipulate drawings and other creative content. Easily take notes or sketch with pen-abled PCs13.
  • A variety of screen sizes and aspect ratios offer the best fit for your creative flow. Choose from a 3:2 aspect ratio device for web browsing and productivity tasks; a 16:9 aspect ratio for watching videos and entertainment; and a 16:10 for video and audio editing14.
  • Intel® Evo™ platforms featuring 12th Gen Intel® Core™ processors for improved multi-tasking and performance15.

Create Wherever Inspiration Strikes16

Not only do creators need great battery life to power their creations, they also need all the tools at their disposal to extend the charge on their battery. Available on devices with Intel processors, HP offers intelligent power management features:

  • Power Saver mode extends the battery life whenever there is a concern about charging accessibility.
  • In-bag detection leveraging Intel® Dynamic Tuning Technology to adjust the PC’s power to avoid overheating or battery drain when put in a bag.
  • Adaptive Battery Optimizer monitors battery temperature, battery-charging status, and usage time to preserve your battery’s health.
  • Smart Sense optimizes a device’s performance, temperature, and more based on the application being used.

Creation isn’t just limited to one device. More than 60% of creators use more than two devices to create17. And 60% said that computers can go from good to awesome through great software18. The new Spectre and Envy devices all come with HP Palette pre-installed, a proprietary digital workspace to help simplify the creative flow and allows you for smooth cross-device collaboration. Find any face in photographs with HP PhotoMatch19. Enjoy infinite, flexible sketching with Concepts20. Drop anything to any device seamlessly, wirelessly with HP QuickDrop21. Expand your workspace, connect to another device for more creative options with Duet for HP22.
