Backlit Hybrid Laptops

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The HP Spectre x2 Has a Backlit Keyboard and Bang & Olufsen Speakers

— October 7, 2015 — Tech
The HP Spectre x2 is a new Windows 10 hybrid device that brings together a sturdy, premium build, impressive specs and a standard keyboard. It appears that this particular device is designed to go toe to toe with the Microsoft Surface line, and includes some high-end bonus features including quad Bang & Olufsen speakers and a backlit keyboard.

The tablet portion of the HP Spectre x2 is constructed from a single piece of aluminum and measures just 88 mm thick, weighing in at 840 grams. The kickstand uses a band mechanism rather than the Microsoft Surface's band system, and is released by sliding a button on the side of the device. This allows for a 150 degree rotation.

This is a solid entry into the hybrid device line, and will surely appeal to many new computer buyers.
Trend Themes
1. Backlit Hybrid Laptops - Backlit keyboards are becoming a standard feature in hybrid laptops and can provide an added convenience for users.
2. Premium Hybrid Devices - Manufacturers are incorporating high-end bonus features such as quad speakers and premium materials in hybrid devices to compete with similar products.
3. Band Mechanism Kickstands - An alternative to the traditional kickstand, band mechanism kickstands allow for greater flexibility in device placement and positioning.
Industry Implications
1. Computer Hardware Manufacturing - Manufacturers of hybrid devices are vying for a competitive edge through unique and premium features such as backlit keyboards and high-quality speakers.
2. Consumer Electronics Retail - The market for advanced and stylish hybrid devices is expanding, with consumers increasingly seeking premium options with added convenience features such as backlit keyboards.
3. Corporate IT Services - Hybrid devices with advanced features such as band mechanism kickstands and backlit keyboards can be valuable tools for professionals who require both portability and functionality in their work devices.
