Global tech giant HP is leading a renaissance in
21st-century laptop design with the launch of the
world’s first leather-bound convertible PC, the HP
Spectre Folio. Sydney’s stylish Beta Bar provided
the backdrop for the Australian debut of HP’s newest
laptop innovation. Blending luxurious handcrafted
leather finishes with the latest smart technology,
a key feature of the HP Spectre Folio is its clever,
seamless convertible design that allows users to
maneuver the ultra-thin, super-lightweight laptop
between three different positions. Guests at the
launch in Sydney hosted by Vogue Living editorial
director Edwina McCann included Harvey
Norman CEO Katie Page and HP’s global head
of design Stacy Wolff. A three-course menu by
Vue de Monde creative director Shannon Bennett
featured dishes celebrating seasonal Australian
produce, from wagyu beef with beetroot and
muntries served with roasted potatoes dotted with
prawns and herbs to a delicate sheep’s yoghurt
dessert with zesty orange and sweet pumpkin. VL
