HP has officially unveiled the ultraslim notebook that they first revealed in a teaser video released a few days ago. Called the Envy 14 Spectre, the notebook packs a nice spec into a stylish frame that’s topped off with a glass outer lid. Despite the glass covers, it’s not necessarily something you’d need to handle with caution in case you were worried about scratching the beautiful surfaces. Specifically, the screen, outer lid and touchpad is protected by Corning’s Gorilla Glass, the same scratch-resistant glass that you’ll find protecting Apple’s iPhone 4 and 4S.
HP’s next ultraslim laptop – likely packing an Ultrabook spec – has been teased in a video sent to Engadget. From what we could squeeze out from the clip, it’s going to be called the Spectre, and it looks to be really slim… and shiny. Past the obvious, the teaser video doesn’t reveal anything much to talk about, but if it’s the same notebook as the “Envy Spectre” notebook that went through the FCC in late December, then it’s going to sport a 14-inch screen and Wi-fi n connectivity (natch). Check out the video after the break.

HP has officially entered the new ultrabook arena with the Folio 13, a 13.3-inch ultraportable that’s notable for having what HP claims “the longest-lasting battery in its class” with a pack that’s listed to last up to nine hours. That’s two hours longer than what Apple promises on the MacBook Air, which would be an awesome highlight if HP’s talking about real-world performance.
We have no idea how HP’s first Wi-fi mouse did when they introduced it earlier this year, but apparently, they’re sticking with the concept. HP has just unveiled a successor, the X7000 Wi-Fi Touch Mouse that improves on the original’s basic design. Like the original (and like the name says), the X7000 Wi-Fi Touch Mouse doesn’t need a free USB port or a Bluetooth connection to hook up with a PC. Instead, it connects via Wi-fi, which lets it work up to 30 feet away from a computer.
Last time we heard of HP’s TouchPad Go, it was going through the usual pre-launch FCC filing back in August. But that was before HP decided to drop their webOS projects, which meant that it was a tablet that we weren’t likely going to see again. Well, for some reason, it surfaced again, at least in a bunch of photos from Chinese site Palmjoy.
