Both systems come in an anodized aluminum finish. The Qualcomm version comes in a subtle "stone blue" color, while the Intel models come in duller gray and "sand" options. HP says the new Ultra is 14% lighter than the previous generation laptop at 2.81 pounds, and also claims that this machine is thinner than the 13-inch MarBook Air, though that's specifically at one point on the rear of the laptop and doesn't include the hinge cap or rubber feet.
