It's only fitting that the Spectre enters the HP's Envy line. HP claims "that
every ENVY laptop is crafted to surpass your expectation with the
finest features and powerful technology that deliver a premium
entertainment and computing experience".
There is a big difference between the Folio and the Spectre. While the HP Folio is priced around $900 the Envy 14 Spectre will have a target price of $1400. For those who prefer quality and don't mind paying for the extra features, the Spectre would be your choice.

With its sleek design and high performing components, HP has name the
Spectre a "Premium Ultrabook". The design itself looks very upscale.
It's amazing that HP was able to keep the Spectre under 4 pounds with
the use of glass inside and out. Glass!! The first thought that came to
me was that the Spectre will look nice for a few months then it will
have a custom "claw mark" design. Not to worry, HP has assured us that
they have used only scratch resistant Gorilla glass.
The Spectre is a bit thicker (20mm) and a bit heavier (4lbs) than most ultrabooks. I would have to argue that you are not sacrificing much for this premium design.
