The Spectre 13 was already HP’s flashiest laptop, and today HP is unveiling a second generation of the computer that makes it look even sharper. The new Spectre 13 is just as thin — at only 10.4mm — but this year it’s significantly narrower and shallower, with slimmed-down bezels on all sides of its 13-inch display. It’s now configured with a touchscreen, and there’s a 4K option, too, neither of which were available on the original 2016 model. HP claims it’s the “world’s thinnest” touchscreen laptop.

While specs and size may be the more important attributes here, the most noticeable change to the Spectre 13 is a new color option. It’s called “ceramic white,” and it looks great. The top and inside of the laptop feature aluminum that’s been treated with a smooth white coating that gives it a semi-glossy ceramic look, without the additional weight of ceramic. There’s also a “pale gold” accent along the edges of the computer and on a thick strip along the back. I really liked the black-and-copper look HP used last year, but this might be its new winner. (That color option will still be available, and, in a smart move, the glossy fingerprint-magnet of an accent bar on the back is now matte, like on the white version.)
