At its annual Tech Summit, Qualcomm unveiled the first few laptops that will ditch traditional PC internals for the Snapdragon 835 Mobile Platform – the same CPU you’ll find in the best Android smartphones. The most interesting of this new wave of...

Well-built, Attractive design, Good screen and speakers, Good battery life, Full-size SD card slot

Overpriced, Atom performance still disappoints, Less battery life than some rivals, No bundled stylus, optional stylus not Wacom

Amazing battery life ; 4G connection ; Quick startup times ; Light and thin design ; Good speakers

Far too expensive ; Under-powered ; Limited compatibility

Although the HP Envy x2 has some good points, like a thin and light design and spectacular battery life, it’s let down by a price tag that is far too high for the performance on offer. A real shame.

Impossibly thin and ultra-light ; Sharp design ; 20-hour promised battery life

Comes pre-loaded with Windows 10 S

The HP Envy x2 is an incredibly thin Windows 10 tablet with a classy design that’s equally as impressive. If Qualcomm's Snapdragon 835 chipset proves to be as good as it promised, this could well be the best slate of next year.

Basic power ; USB on keyboard dock only ; Cramped keys

Excellent hybrid design ; Exceptionally long battery life ; Light and runs very cool ; Runs all Windows applications

Tablet a bit oversizeD ; Paltry mass storage ; Limited tablet-optimized apps ; Poor 3D graphics performance

In the end, though, we see so much potential in the Envy x2 we're willing to overlook some of its awkwardness. It's the type of device that is sure to improve over time, and it's showing the way to the undeniable future of ultralight laptops.

Good battery life, brushed-aluminium build, screen looks quality, NFC

Pricey, keyboard's "sticky" keys aren't great for typing, limited power from Atom processor, fiddly tablet separation process

The HP Envy x2 is a product that we were excited about when it was first announced. But that excitement has largely evaporated thanks to the product's price point. See, the HP Envy x2 isn't a bad product by any means, it's just badly positioned on the...
