Silly question, but...how is this as thin as a AAA battery? Especially given this gallery image: http://www.engadget.com/2016/04/05/hp-spectre-13-3/#gallery=37

- flurpitude 11y agoWell, there's your answer. "As thin as an AAA battery" is about twice the thickness of an AAA battery. Simple.
- zbjornson 11y agoProbably excluding the foot pads it would be comparable...
- techthroway443 11y agoNot only that but the featured image is purposely placed on a dark surface with shitty lighting to give a much thinner impression. Look, I want my laptop to be as thin as a AAA battery as bad as the next battery enthusiast but going around claiming a laptop is AAA battery thin when it clearly is barely AA battery thin then it's time to go back to the drawing board.
- Brendinooo 11y agoI don't agree with going back to the drawing board, but HP should be more honest about its claims and Engadget should absolutely vet the claim before using is as the headline for the article!
- cptskippy 11y agoProbably in the same way that the Macbook Air was only .6cm thick and the world's thinnest laptop despite being .09cm thicker than the Mitsubishi Pedion which was a consistent 1.84cm thick. I believe it's called iMeasure.
- shepardrtc 11y agoThe grey plastic(?) parts when put together are about as thin as a AAA battery. The bottom black parts aren't, but if you're in a dark room or something then you won't notice. You might even think your laptop is hovering! Just imagine how you could entertain guests!
- cam_l 11y agoMaybe you are just looking at the AAA battery the wrong way up..
