HP EliteBook x360 1030 G3

Business convertibles don't come any better than the HP EliteBook x360 1030 G3, an executive 2-in-1 that combines ample power with a sunny 13.3-inch screen and a snappy keyboard in a petite 2.76-pound package.

Wonderfully compact and light. Three screen choices: bright 1080p, privacy-filter 1080p, and 4K. Crisp keyboard. Good array of ports, including two Thunderbolt 3. Marathon battery life. Impressive audio.

No SD card slot. Clumsy cursor-arrow keys.

Bottom Line: Business convertibles don't come any better than the HP EliteBook x360 1030 G3, an executive 2-in-1 that combines ample power with a sunny 13.3-inch screen and a snappy keyboard in a petite 2.76-pound package.

HP EliteBook x360 1030 G3 (i5-8250U. FHD) Convertible Review

Spectre in disguse. The latest model in the super-sleek EliteBook x360 series manages to be even smaller than last year's model. A few features had to be cut, but we think it's well worth the sacrifice for on-the-go business users.

great sound quality for the size; loud speakers ; small footprint; portable and lightweight ; proprietary multi-layer security features ; keyboard keys have great feedback ; optional 4G LTE and NFC ; Thunderbolt 3 support ; excellent build quality ;...

warmer surfaces than on the EliteBook x360 1030 G2 ; pulse-width modulation on lower brightness levels ; not as rigid as the thicker EliteBook 830 series ; unable to sustain maximum CPU Turbo Boost ; lower performance when on battery power ;...

The EliteBook x360 1030 G3 directly addresses our biggest complaint about the 1030 G2: the dim display. Our 1030 G3 unit is about 75 percent brighter than the 1030 G2 and that doesn't even include the 700-nit option. Combine this with the smaller...

The HP EliteBook x360's sleek chassis will look great in the conference room, coffee shop or classroom and it feels great to use as well.

HP Elitebook X360 G3

This is HP's 13.3” Windows 10 convertible laptop business counterpart to HP's Spectre x360. The design and premium styling are very similar to the early 2018 Spectre x360, but the business model gets a few perks like optional 4G LTE Advanced, several...
