HP Elite x2 1011 G1-L8D67UT

The HP Elite x2 1011 G1-L8D67UT is a beautifully designed laptop that doubles up as a tablet. The entire device is durable and comes with an easy to manipulate hinge system. At first glance, the device looks like a professional yet conventional laptop with a comfortable tile keyboard and touchpad surrounded by the silver chassis. The hinge remains obscure unless the user decides to remove the base. At the back of the tablet are the power button, volume rockers and a primary 5 MP rear camera. The HP Elite x2 1011 G1-L8D67UT comes with an 11.6 inch ultra-slim LED-backlit BrightView touchscreen with FHD resolution next to the 2 MP webcam. Running on Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit, the device comes ready with an Intel Core M-5Y51 processor clocked at 1.1 GHz, 4 GB LPDDR3 SDRAM, Intel HD Graphics 5300 GPU and an internal storage of 128 GB M.2 SSD. Other features on-board include the docking connector to base, a Display Port, a USB 3.0 port, a USB 3.0 port with charging capability, a microSD slot and a micro SIM slot. This allows the device to be a perfect on-the-go companion utilizing cellular connectivity to remain connected to the Internet. Battery life is impressive with up to 14 hours of usage time provided by dual tablet and keyboard base batteries.

Review: HP Elite x2 is a combo tablet for the enterprise
Source: Computerworld.com English Archive.org version
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 doesn't have the deep colors of an AMOLED screen; its audio is adequate but not impressive; and its battery life could be better.

60% HP Elite x2 1011 G1 Tablet With Power Keyboard
Source: PC Mag English Archive.org version
The HP Elite x2 1011 G1 is a highly portable detachable-hybrid tablet. Its battery life is one of the best in its class, and its performance on our productivity tests is solid. You'll need to download the latest driver, however, to avoid the touchpad glitches we encountered when detaching from and reconnecting the tablet to the keyboard. For a powerful Windows-equipped, detachable-hybrid tablet, we still recommend the Editors' Choice Dell Latitude 13 7000 Series 2-in-1 (7350), which has the same RAM, processor, and storage as the Elite x2, as well as about the same list price, but sports a higher-resolution screen, decent graphics, and good performance scores on our tests.

The HP Elite x2 1011 has a lot to offer. It looks good, performs reasonably well for a system of its size, and its battery life can keep you working (and even having some fun) long after other portables would have sent you scurrying in search of an AC outlet. Its WiGig docking option, though not yet in the HP.com store at this writing in early September 2015, will offer a decent number of ports without adding to the size of the system, which is nice.

The main obstacle to us telling everyone to buy an Elite x2 is its price; $1,629 as equipped (not including the WiGig dock) will buy a fully equipped Ultrabook with touch and even better overall performance. The Elite x2 has its excellent battery life and detachable tablet portion going for it over most Ultrabooks but even then we have trouble calling this a good value. The Elite x2 has however done more than enough to earn our overall recommendation for being a well-rounded product but only if you’re not particularly sensitive to price and place a high priority on having a dedicated tablet.

With its brilliant display, long battery life and great keyboard, the HP Elite X2 1011 provides much of what business users need in a 2-in-1. The Elite x2 is also durable and secure, unlike many consumer-focused hybrids. Priced at a steep $1,629, our configuration of the Elite x2 is $132 more than Toshiba's Portege Z20t, which is faster, and has a longer battery life and a larger screen.

Luckily for the Elite x2 1011 G1, its excellent performance, stellar display and lengthy battery life don't just soften the blow of its weird design quirks - they make it a decent option for buyers in a market already populated with similarly powerful, versatile convertibles.

In many ways, this is a typical HP business product in that it’s sturdy in build and functional in design. If you’re after a 2-in-1 that feels sturdy in its construction, and you don’t mind the extra weight that the sturdiness brings, then the Elite x2 1011 G1 will tick that box. If you want a 2-in-1 that’s manageable and inclusive of encryption features, then the Elite x2 1011 G1 will tick that box, too.

Limited performance. HP advertises its new business detachable as: "The one device you need...". In fact, the Elite x2 is a versatile multi-talent, but it ultimately misses a better rating due to minor flaws in details.

Considering the HP Elite x2 1011's durability, it's not as bad as my assessment might read. Rugged laptops and tablets typically cost thousands of dollars and they're ugly as sin. The Elite x2 sits somewhere between one of these awful rugged tablets and a pretty consumer device like the Surface Pro 3. So, yes, it's a bit heavy, but it's also Fort Knox-level sturdy.

If you’re after a business-focused hybrid laptop, the Elite X2 has plenty of office-friendly credentials and display quality is the only real blemish on an otherwise capable machine. It’s a great choice for a run-all-day work laptop, but if you’ll be spending more time in tablet mode you should consider the cheaper Microsoft Surface 3 instead.

Business Elite. With the Elite x2 1012 G1, HP takes on Microsoft's Surface Pro 4. The convertible offers a keyboard dock, an active stylus and an LTE modem. At almost 1500 Euros (~$1690), the complete package doesn't come cheap, however.

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 that category. That's not a knock on the Elite x2 but rather on the category of product in general.

The HP Elite X2 is a very good attempt at replacing a laptop. However, just like the Surface Pro 4, the Elite X2 isn't quite there yet. It performs well, and has a great keyboard. Plus, the fact that you can replace its internals is a big point in its favour. However, the poor battery life and sub-par touchpad are definite issues that need work. It's a device worth considering if you're in the market for a 2-in-1 and can afford to spend over Rs. 1 lakh.

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 sturdy keyboard are both excellent. Likewise, its enterprise-friendly features will appeal to IT admins and employees alike, and its replaceable parts make it easier to fix if something goes wrong. However, if battery life and a top-notch display are top priorities, then the Surface Pro 4 is still the 2-in-1 hybrid to beat. Buy the Elite x2 1012 now from HP.

If you like the style of HP's Spectre x2 but need something more durable and more suitable for work, the Elite x2 is exactly the right choice -- it brings with it most of the Spectre's pleasing design aesthetics and combines them with a slew of business-friendly features.

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 usable array of ports even if only one has changed, and all of that serviceability. It’s clear: the HP Elite x2 is a tablet laptop hybrid made for business, and made for businesses that demand long term computers, not just ones that will work for the next few months.

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 usable array of ports even if only one has changed, and all of that serviceability. It’s clear: the HP Elite x2 is a tablet laptop hybrid made for business, and made for businesses that demand long term computers, not just ones that will work for the next few months.

HP’s homage to the Surface Pro 4 gets it bang on
Source: PC Mag English Archive.org version
It may be a slightly shameless copy, but so far I rather 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 in some truly useful business features such as in-house repairability, improved security features and a Kensington lock slot.

If you're interested in buying a 2-in-1 laptop, the HP Elite x2 1012 stands second-to-none. Although it doesn't have the highest-level configurations of a Surface Pro 4 or Surface Book, the Elite x2 1012 is an attractive and affordable hybrid capable of excelling.

HP Elite x2 1012 G2

While most people were waiting in bated breath for a Surface Pro 4 successor which doesn’t seem to be coming anytime soon HP has got them covered with the HP Elite x2 1012 G2. It is not surprising that HP has been eyeing for a chance to jump the Microsoft Surface and this might be it especially since just by running down the spec sheet is enough to make the nerdiest business user jump in joy. Starting with its chassis at just 13.4 mm its actually skinnier than Microsoft’s offering, additionally the chassis is primarily constructed out of aluminium, which should already be a given for most convertibles of this class. Next thing on the list would be its 12.3-inch display, which doesn’t actually sport the standard resolution of its last iteration and instead has a resolution of 2736x1824 which is most definitely bigger. Moreover, the IPS panel is reasonably sharp and does provide a pleasant viewing experience. Users should also note that the panel is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass. Another main thing to note here is compared to the Surface the Elite x2 is actually built to MIL-SPEC rugged standard although one would wonder why would you need a business tablet designed to a military standard. Moving over to basic hardware the Elite x2 can be chosen with either an Intel Core i3, i5 or even an i7 processor although the default choice would be an Intel Core i5-7200U, 8 to 16 GB of RAM with 8 GB being the default and 128 to 512 GB of SSD storage with 256 GB being standard. While the Elite x2 is in the same league as the Surface, HP actually provides the keyboard and even a stylus as part of the package, which is good in anyone’s books considering the market price of these products and their importance. Although HP actually provides 2 different types of keyboards depending on the model. One being the Advanced Keyboard which has an inbuilt NFC and Smart Card reader and the other keyboard known as the Collaboration Keyboard which comes with dedicated key functions mainly catered to video conferencing. In terms of external ports, the Elite x2 offers a Thunderbolt 3 supported USB type C connector which enables the user to charge and use an external display at the same time. The entire tablet weighs in at around 800 grams which is pretty impressive for its specs but adding the advance keyboard will bring it up to around 1.1 kg. The HP Elite X2 1012 G2 is shipped with a 47 Wh battery to keep it lasting for up to 9 hours of work. The tablet is priced slightly below the SurfaceBook, which might make it a better choice.

HP's Elite x2 1013 G3 is a portable and flexible 2-in-1 detachable. It's certainly a step up from its predecessor, packing in a larger screen, and its keyboard is very usable. The high-resolution screen on my review sample was a pleasure to work with, and didn't seem to cause excessive battery drain -- especially with the brightness turned down a notch or two.

12.00:

This range of display format is largely the upper limit for tablets and the lower limit for subnotebooks.

The advantage of subnotebooks is that the entire laptop can be small in size and therefore easily portable. The tiny display has the added advantage of requiring little power, which further improves battery life and thus mobility. The disadvantage is that reading texts is exhausting for the eyes.
