Overall, the HP Spectre X2 isn’t as good as the Surface Pro 4. From weight to wired connectivity and screen quality, it’s good enough but nonetheless falls behind Microsoft’s flagship tablet. None of this may matter though given how much cheaper the X2 is, especially once you include its keyboard/screen cover.

The HP Spectre x2 is a good all-round 2-in-1. At £700, it's not cheap, but when compared to the equivalent Surface Pro 4, it's still pretty great value, particularly when the Spectre x2 comes with a keyboard in the box. The basic Surface Pro 4, on the other hand, costs £749, but you'll have to factor in another £110 if you want to buy a Surface Pro 4 Type Cover keyboard, bringing the total overall cost to £859.

As far as value driven tablets go, HP’s Spectre x2 is definitely worth a look, with a real return to balanced computing for HP in this option. Essentially, there’s enough of a computer here for most people, especially those trying to work out which type of computer they want next: laptop or tablet. HP’s Spectre x2 is a solid middle ground, and we don’t just mean “solid” because it has been built well, but also because there’s a decent computing experience paired with a fairly impressive value and some great design.

This is a standard display format for tablet computers or small convertibles. You see more on the screen than on a smartphone but you can't use big resolutions well. On the other hand, mobility is not a problem.

75%: This rating is poor. More than three quarters of the models are rated better. That is rather not a purchase recommendation. Even if verbal ratings in this area do not sound that bad ("sufficient" or "satisfactory"), they are usually euphemisms that disguise a classification as a below-average laptop.
