Hopefully it will be around the same time for the UK as well then. Really looking forward to seeing what people think of this and potentially get one for myself
Yeah, it should be early November or at least the first half I guess. I am torn between going for this top-spec beauty or waiting till next year when the mainstream notebooks from other manufacturers also have Ice Lake CPU's and WiFI6 in line with Project Athena. https://www.intel.com/content/www/u...ystems/laptops/laptop-innovation-program.html

I sooo want an OLED screen though, they just look amazing.

Yeah, the new HP Spectre does sound amazing. I'm gonna wait until black Friday before buying anything and have a look for deals around then. I fancy a new laptop and the project Athena intel Ice lake 13"models sound like exactly what I'm after.

I was tempted by the Microsoft Surface laptop 3 but it's annoying that the port selection on that is so limited and it doesn't support Thunderbolt 3.

Does anyone know where I can buy this in the UK? Was hoping I would be able to get the OLED version cheaper because of black friday but I cannot find it anywhere other than America

Apparently the HP Spectre 13 OLED has a terrible honeycomb screen effect caused by the active pen membrane within the screen... the one they use is harsh and visible to many people. http://forum.notebookreview.com/thr...reendoor-effect-warm-yellowish-whites.831077/

Why they feel it's a good idea to do things like this and ruin what should be a cutting-edge display just to save a few bucks I will never know. :(
