Convertible touch laptops are all the rage these days, but with their popularity and cool features comes a proportionately high price tag. The segment is definitely missing the relative bargains you can get in a “regular” ultrabook these days, which sports all the features of the premium convertibles with a lower price tag and no tablet-like operation. A premium ultrabook with touchscreen lets you take advantage of touch-friendly Windows 8, while keeping a highly portable design and lower price.
Our featured deal today, the HP Spectre 13t is a 13.3-inch model like the Lenovo Yoga, yet cuts cost significantly due to the lower resolution screen (1920×1080 vs 3200×1800) and a standard laptop hinge. It is still svelte at 0.59-inches thick and 3.2 lbs, thanks to its all aluminum design.
For a starting price of only $800 after the coupon, you get a Core i5 processor, 128GB SSD, and a (rare) free upgrade to 8GB of RAM. There are a ton of standard features like 802.11n WiFi, Bluetooth, HD webcam, backlit keyboard, and more. A comparable Yoga 2 Pro would cost around the $1000, making the Spectre a bargain.
This model is also fully customizable from HP, with upgrade options like a Core i7 processor, larger SSD, and only a $70 upgrade cost for the 2560×1440 QHD display. Even 802.11ac is only $20 more, making for one extremely well equipped machine.
The hefty 20% coupon that knocks this beast down to $800 is a rare one and we don’t know exactly when it will end. Also keep in mind that at a 20% discount, you also save 20% on any upgrades! If this sleek little powerhouse from HP has caught your eye, this is a good chance to snag it with big savings and a free RAM upgrade.
