The Digital Trends team is right now preparing to converge on Las Vegas, Nev. for the week-long gathering of gear, gadgets and electronics gurus that is the annual Consumer Electronics Show. HP fired a first shot at the start of last week when it released a teaser video for its soon-to-be-revealed Envy Spectre ultrabook. Today brings a second teaser video, though don’t expect to walk away with much new information or even a clear look at what’s being cooked up. The best you get is a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it glimpse of the Envy Spectre in profile, though it’s hard not to notice the Beats Audio logo on the device’s side.

The Envy Spectre will be one of the many ultrabooks taking a bow at CES this year, all of them lining up for a shot at knocking out the most popular kid on the block, Apple‘s MacBook Air. Very little is known about HP’s contender, beyond that it will likely sport a 14-inch screen and and feature Intel‘s “Ivy Bridge” processor, according to a recent FCC filing.

The Envy Spectre won’t the only HP ultrabook in the mix. The company released its Folio 13 ultrabook on December 7, a $900 13.3-incher with a solid nine-hour battery life and a good mix of features to offset its relatively average-sized (for an ultrabook) 3.3 pounds and 18mm thickness.

Check out the Envy Spectre teaser below and stay tuned all this week for CES coverage straight from the show floor!

Apple’s biggest MacBook Pro redesign in years may skip the chip everyone expected
The next MacBook Pro may bring OLED and touch support without M6 Pro silicon
MacBook Pro on Table

Apple is expected to launch a refreshed MacBook Pro later this year, but according to Bloomberg, it won't come equipped with a next-gen processor. Instead, Apple is going to equip the highly anticipated device with Pro and Max variants of the current-gen M5 silicon.

It was widely speculated that when the redesigned MacBook with an OLED display and touch-screen capability debuts, it will also mark the arrival of the M6 series processors. Well, it appears that Apple has changed its silicon strategy pretty significantly.

You may have to wait until 2027 for Macs with Apple’s best chips

If you’ve been holding off on buying a new MacBook Pro because the next generation of Apple Silicon is just around the corner, you might want to reset your expectations.

A new report by Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman suggests Apple is making its biggest change yet to the Mac chip roadmap. Instead of releasing a full family of M6 processors like it has with every generation since the original M1, the company is reportedly planning to launch only the standard M6 chip first. The more powerful Pro and Max variants? They may not arrive until 2027, and they’ll reportedly skip the M6 branding altogether.
