The Spectre Notebook's feature set includes full-spec 6th generation Core i5 and i7 processors, three USB-C ports–all of which provide power, high-speed data, video out, and sleep and charge capabilities. A full-sized and high-quality keyboard and touchpad, and a 13.3-inch Full HD (1920 x 1080) IPS display. So, very little compromise in an extremely portable form factor boasting a 9-hour battery.
