HP just launched their crazy new Foldable laptop-tablet hybrid in SEA: the Spectre Fold 17 which can be utilized as a desktop, laptop or tablet earlier today.
The HP Spectre Fold 17 is a 12.3-inch laptop with a detachable OLED screen size ranging from 14-inches to 17-inches (Desktop mode).
Powered by a 12th Gen Intel Core i7 Processor, it comes with 16GB of RAM and 1TB of SSD storage. It also features a 5MP webcam that can be closed with a built-in privacy cover.
