HP Spectre 13

The headline about this 13-inch laptop is that, with a thickness of 0.41 of an inch, it ranks as the thinnest laptop on the market. But unlike many other thin laptops, the Spectre 13 manages to squeeze in one of Intel's top-of-the-line processors, the Core i5 or i7. (Most thin laptops go with a lower-powered processor.) It also has a luxury design and a starting price of $1,169 (with Core i5, 256 GB of storage, 8 GB RAM).
