The battery life is just too short. Its target market

Travel with it. The Elite x2's quick-draining battery might be understandable if it delivered more power

A Surface clone that's actually repairable, Kickstand and keyboard cover swipe all the things that make the Surface's work well, Keyboard cover is a standard feature, Fanless, and decent performance and battery life courtesy of Core M, Optional LTE, Thund
Smaller, lower-resolution screen than the Surface Pro 4, and it's a little larger, too, You'll need a USB-C monitor or a dock if you want to charge it and drive an external display at the same time, Doesn't get as fast as the Surface does, SATA-only SSDs,
Ultimately if I was going to buy a tablet to replace my laptop—a big if for a lot of people in the first place—the Surface Pro feels better to use than HP's take on the concept. Its screen is a little bigger and nicer to look at, it's smaller and lighter...
A rare 2-in-1 that works well as a tablet, Long battery life, Excellent backlit keyboard, IPS screen, WiGig docking support
Expensive, given the component loadout, No slot for stylus, Weak speakers, No dedicated video-out
A business-minded Surface Pro competitor, the Elite x2 G1 is a snazzy-looking, surprisingly snappy Core M 2-in-1. It's only held back by the pricing in its higher-than-basic configurations. Read More…...
Durable chassis withstands two-foot drop onto concrete, Tough Gorilla Glass 4 display, Designed for repair and upgrading
Keyboard separates from tablet surprisingly easily, A little heavy compared to the competition, String attachment for pen is awkward
You could drop HP's Elite x2 convertible and it probably wouldn't blink, which is probably a good thing considering how easily it falls off your lap. That's the give-and-take of this durable, repairable convertible, a solid corporate performer with a few...
Abstract: HP's convertible tablet for business has good performance and is built to take some abuse, though a few other features don't quite measure up...

Keyboard and touchpad slow to wake up, Mediocre battery life for an ultraportable

Good performance, excellent backlit keyboard/cover, fine display, comes with keyboard and pen, a variety of secure features, including fingerprint reader, can be repaired inhouse (by qualified IT staff)
Display colors not as strong as on AMOLED screen, only way to store pen is via rather flimsy attachable loop, speakers not as strong as expected
One of the advantages of having several 2-in-1 devices to choose from is that you can start to differentiate by what you want to do with them. The HP Elite x2 is not what I would choose for a consumer item; its display is bright and satisfactory, but does...
IPS display, silent, M.2 SSD, keyboard dock, ActivePen, very good battery life, LTE modem, 3-year warranty
expensive, chassis could be more sturdy
Just like the competing manufacturers, HP outfits the Elite x2 with Core-m CPUs from Intel's current Skylake-generation of processors. The performance is more than adequate for most usage scenarios. Even extended loads don't cause a performance drop. The...
Abstract: Confession: I bought a fully loaded Microsoft Surface Pro 3 with the (optional) purple keyboard cover last year. But as much as I loved the idea of the 2-in-1 Surface Pro, I ultimately sent it back. Why? One of the biggest reasons was that I hated the key...

the HP Elite x2 is an excellent Windows 10 convertible, with a smart, high quality hardware design, performance that beats its closest competitors, an excellent bundled keyboard and pen, and maintainability that should benefit IT managers who have to ad...
