HP Envy x2 (2017) hands-on review

 

HP's handsome Envy x2 will make you ask ‘where can I pre-order?'

Stunning design ; Handsome keyboard cover ; Attractive 1,920 x 1,200 display ; 20 hours of battery life ; Standard LTE

Just one USB-C port ; Pricing is a big unknown

HP Envy x2 review: a tablet / laptop hybrid that fails to deliver the complete package

 

The HP Envy x2 is an attractive laptop / tablet hybrid, but its Atom processor doesn't offer great performance, and its keyboard disappoints.

Slick, lightweight design ; Good battery life (in laptop mode) ; Decent IPS display

Uncomfortable keyboard ; Netbook-grade performance

Laptop / tablet hybrids have their work cut out for them: providing a fluid experience as both a portable slate and a productivity-minded laptop -- let alone with an Atom processor doing the grunt work -- is a tall order. Making the design comfortable...

HP's Envy x2 has the same processor as a Samsung Galaxy S8

 

Putting a smartphone processor inside a Windows laptop is an interesting idea, but too expensive for its own good.

The HP Envy x2 looks slick, has terrific battery life and comes with LTE connectivity. The included HP Digital Pen lets you take advantage of the sharp 12.3-inch touchscreen without smudging it up.

The Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 processor that powers the Envy x2 just isn't powerful enough. It only has one port, a USB-C slot.

While it has many strengths, the HP Envy x2 doesn't have enough processing power to make it an easy recommendation.

HP Envy x2 (Snapdragon 835)

 

With always-on technology, a Snapdragon processor, and an LTE modem, the HP Envy x2 is poised to usher in a new class of hyper-mobile Windows PCs.

Power-sipping Qualcomm Snapdragon processor. LTE connectivity. Claimed long battery life.

Weak keyboard and touchpad. Uncomfortable for use on your lap.

Bottom Line: With always-on technology, a Snapdragon processor, and an LTE modem, the HP Envy x2 is poised to usher in a new class of hyper-mobile Windows PCs.

HP's revamped HP Envy x2 packs a kickstand and Intel Core M CPU

 

New HP Envy x2 models pack a kickstand and a keyboard that falls off at the drop of a hat.

HP Envy X2 (11-g012nr)

 

The HP Envy X2 (11-g012nr) is a slick-looking detachable tablet laptop with all-day battery life, but some may balk at price and the limitations of an Atom processor.

Sleek-looking, comfortable design. Portability and productivity in one device. Windows 8. All-day battery life.

Atom processor. Pricey for an underpowered device.

HP Envy x2: The splittable Atom laptop

 

With the Envy x2 you get full Windows 8 and excellent battery life in a little 11-inch laptop-tablet hybrid, but be ready to accept limitations.

The ; has a clean, comfortable design and feels lightweight in tablet form. It has excellent battery life, and works just as well as a laptop as it does as a tablet.

The laptop mode is top-heavy, and the awkward tablet detachment mechanism isn’t perfect; it has limited ports; and a slower Atom processor means in performance it's far behind most ultrabooks, even though it’s priced like one.

The HP Envy x2’s capacity to be a full Windows 8 tablet or dock with a keyboard works as well as advertised, provided you’re willing to live with slower performance at a high price. You’re paying for style.

HP Envy x2 review

 

Take a tablet; add a keyboard. Turn it into a laptop. Do it with full Windows 8. This is the dream of the HP Envy x2, and the dream, it seems, of Windows 8 in general. Break down the barrier between tablets and PCs. Create progressive computing. The...

HP Envy x2 review

 

The more Windows 8 devices I review, the more refined my idea of a perfect Windows PC becomes. A convertible device (a tablet and dock) makes the most sense for me, but I need full-blown Windows 8,...

Good-looking design ; Feels at home as both a tablet and laptop ; Good keyboard and trackpad

Atom chip isn't up to any intensive tasks ; Display is weak for a tablet ; A few small features missing, like USB 3.0 and backlit keys

If 'netbook' weren't a bad word, I'd call it a netbook
