Its easy to use, nothing-left-out keyboard, sleek trackpad and plug ‘n' play pen are the highlights of this enterprise oriented 2-in-1, as well as its fully adjustable kickstand and relatively balanced standing. The Elite x2 is one of the more comfortable...

For a Core M device, the battery life is just too short. Its target market, business travelers, are going to want to, you know, travel with it. The Elite x2's quick-draining battery might be understandable if it delivered more power, or higher resolution...

The Elite x2 nearly achieves the 2-in-1 dream: usability in both tablet and notebook modes. The inputs are enterprise laptop quality for sure. Unfortunately, the battery is not.The Elite x2's cost also limits its market. The usability of the x2 may not be...

A Windows tablet with a detachable keyboard, kickstand, stylus and a 12-inch display, HP's Elite x2 is designed to take on the Microsoft Surface Pro at its own game. It's not the only Surface competitor, of course, but HP is hoping to distinguish its ef...

You can see where HP is coming from with the Elite x2. By offering a more robust, manageable and repairable hybrid, it's making both IT managers and end users happy. And, yes, the HP Elite x2 is a very usable 2-in-1 hybrid. If we were given one of these a...

It's actually very similar to HP's slightly more budget-orientated Spectre x2 , but the Elite x2 is very much geared toward business users and office workers. In fact, unscrew the six rear torque screws underneath the kickstand and you'll have access to t...

The Elite x2 certainly makes an admirable attempt at beating the Surface Pro 4 at its own game, but this particular model is ever so slightly off-target. That's not to say it misses the mark completely, though, as its generally stellar build quality and s...

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...

HP reserves the Elite nomenclature for its very best enterprise computing devices. It calls the Elite x2 a very serious business tablet – where is the fun in that?In essence, it is a Microsoft Surface-like device – a hybrid tablet with a detachable keyboa...

There are many things HP has managed to get right with the Elite x2, and they're all respectable: it comes from a solid base of the Spectre x2, which we liked tremendously, and it has improved on that design with more durability in the hinge, a more usabl...

Microsoft's Surface Pro range of tablet hybrids has been so successful that even Apple has attempted to copy the recipe with the iPad Pro. The most successful rival, though, might come from a totally different quarter: HP and its new Elite X2.DesignI say...

It may feel like a slightly shameless copy, but I like what I've seen of the HP Elite X2. It takes the Microsoft Surface recipe, refines it with an even better keyboard, and adds some useful business features such as in-house repairability, improved secu...

HP has released a very nice product with the Elite x2. However, that doesn't mean this device is for everyone. If you don't intend to use it as a tablet, then you're probably better off buying a dedicated laptop and the Dell XPS 13 is still my favorite in...
