Why is this more expensive than the 15.6" product with what appears to be the same specs that's coming out later this month? null

Question

Accepted Answer

form factor, go hp UK store, they are asking £1,899.00 for this model with an upgraded 1 TB PCIe SSD.

Answer

No Marie, I believe all the 2017 15.6 versions are 4k.

I'm only speculating, but it's probably a combination of three things:
1. The 4K 13" screen is a more expensive part than the 4K 15" screen due to its higher pixel density and it being a newer part.
2. This particular model appeals to a wealthier demographic than the 15" model - executives who take jet flights and Apple switches, for instance.
3. It's a Best Buy exclusive, so Best Buy can put a higher markup on it since you can't get it anywhere else.

This model has a PCIe SSD (which is the newest thing in SSDs and MUCH faster) and the display is UHD. The 15.6" is a regular SSD and the display is only full HD.

apparently its because the 13.3 includes a software package (HP stuff, McAfee, Netflix, etc) is what a representative told me... Netflix... I could've just downloaded that myself -_-

It's because of the display -- this one is 4K (ultra hd) whereas the 15.6" product you saw is probably just full HD.
