A more dignified Surface Pro competitor
Elegant design ; Laudable performer ; Not a bad price for i7
Finicky trackpad ; Weak battery life ; Some bloatware
The HP Spectre x2 is, no doubt, one of the best Windows tablets ever made. From its hardy performance to its shockingly low starting price for a Intel Core i7 processor, the HP Spectre x2 is a drop-dead beautiful adversary to the Surface Pro, perhaps...

The HP Spectra x2 is, after an initial bout of scrutiny, a gorgeous device. It will need a lot more testing before we can tell exactly what it's capable of, but it's both an impressive tablet and a decent laptop to boot.
Expert review by : Dan Ackerman (cnet.co.uk)
Despite an awkward kickstand, this tablet-first hybrid costs less than Microsoft's version and doesn't force you to buy the keyboard separately.
The HP Spectre x2 has a slim but sturdy design and a stiffer keyboard than Microsoft's similar Surface Pro, plus the keyboard cover is included in the base price. A mobile broadband antenna allows for easy on-the-go data.
The kickstand is hard to operate, the processors are slower than many other premium hybrids, and battery life is merely OK.
HP's slim, attractive Spectre x2 follows the road not taken by Microsoft's Surface Pro, using lower-power processors to keep the price down, as well as packing in the must-have keyboard cover.

The HP Envy x2 is the first of a new breed of tablets powered by new Qualcomm processors with built-in 4G connectivity. This 12-inch tablet can also be used as a laptop and a note-taking device thanks to the included keyboard and stylus accessories. Is...

HP has unveiled the HP Spectre x2, a 2-in-1 Windows laptop that's aimed at users who want to stay productive on the move. It comes bundled with a stylus and a detachable keyboard, but can it topple rival laptop-tablet hybrids such as the Microsoft...

HP Spectre X2 (2017) Unboxing, First Impressions: Good Lookin' Ultraportable
Expert review by : Alan Lu (itpro.co.uk)
It's like the Surface Pro 4 but cheaper and better looking
Sturdy; Reasonably stable when used on a lap; Good stylus; Comfortable keyboard; Camera-based authentication works well
Ergonomic issues; So-so battery life; Colour accuracy needs improvement; Relatively heavy
Cheaper than a similarly configured Surface Pro 4, but one too many compromises have been made to achieve its low price

The latest Spectre X2 offers plenty of refinement over the last model, but HP still needs to fix its battery and touchpad issues.
Gorgeous design ; Keyboard and stylus come in the box ; And the keyboard feels great ; Cheaper than the Surface Pro
Finicky touchpad ; Weak battery life ; Stylus isn’t as useful as the Surface Pen
Overall, the new Spectre X2 brings along some much-needed improvements, but a few issues hold it back from being a must-have. HP seriously has to do something about its battery life, especially now that Microsoft offers twice as much with the Surface...

The Spectre x2 undercuts its competitors with a lower price that includes a keyboard in the box (and it's a very comfortable keyboard, at that). Still, for more money you could buy a similar product with faster performance, longer battery life and a...
Less expensive than rival machines and includes a keyboard, too ; Comfortable typing experience ; Adjustable kickstand ; Decent audio ; Uses Intel's depth-sensing RealSense camera setup ; Supports pressure-sensitive pens
Doesn't support Windows Hello, despite having RealSense cameras ; Touchpad can be flaky ; Not so comfortable to use in the lap ; Slower than its rivals with shorter battery life ; Despite having a Core M chip, isn't necessarily thinner or lighter than...
In this increasingly big world of laptop/tablet hybrids, the Spectre x2 isn't a bad choice, especially at this price. But that doesn't mean it's the best. The x2 is not the fastest, the longest-lasting or the most comfortable to use in the lap. It's...
