Model: The HP EliteBook 1030 G2-Z2W73EA x360 proofs that a work laptop should be no less sleek, comfortable or powerful than anything user would use at home. The laptop combines looks, performance (including a U-series Intel Core i7 CPU), a standout keyboard and a wide array of security features in a package. The silver, aluminum unibody laptop uses the company's modern logo found only on its top-of-the-line machines. Lifting the lid shows off the 13.3-inch, 1080p touch screen; backlit keyboard; and shiny, diamond cut around the touchpad and fingerprint reader. The 360-degree hinges allows the EliteBook to be used in several modes, including as a laptop, a tablet, a tent (an upside-down "V") and a display (with the keyboard facing rearwards). Armed with a 2.8-GHz Intel Core i7-7600U CPU, 16 GB of RAM and a 512 GB PCIe solid-state drive, the EliteBook is more than prepared for a cornucopia of research and spreadsheets. With its integrated Intel HD Graphics 620, the EliteBook x360 is not a strong graphics performer. This laptop is not made with gaming in mind. Nevertheless, the HD620 will be able to handle some of the games at low to medium settings. The EliteBook x360 is jam-packed with security options. Any organization can customize this 2-in-1 to fit its IT policy. A user can use the fingerprint reader and infrared camera with Windows Hello. Users who prefer a non-biometric way of logging in can use the smart card reader.This system also supports vPro for remote management, and TPM to encrypt their biometric data. Whenever a user reboots the computer, the HP SureStart kicks in. It verifies the BIOS and starts self-healing if there are any issues.

The EliteBook comes with a standard software suite pre-installed, with a few HP apps and some bloatware native to Windows 10. HP JumpStart makes it easy to register the laptop and download free software. If users pair the EliteBook with the WorkWise mobile app, a user will be able to check the PC's battery life, temperature, and remaining RAM and storage space from afar. The Windows 10 bloatware includes Facebook, Twitter, Minecraft, Candy Crush Soda Saga, and Sling. The 1.27 kg (2.8 pound), 31.75 x 21.84 x 1.54 cm (12.5 x 8.6 x 0.6 inch) EliteBook cuts a striking profile. It is smaller than the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Yoga (1.27 kg/2.8 pound, 33.27 x 22.86 x 1.78 cm/13.1 x 9 x 0.7 inch) and only slightly thicker than the consumer-grade HP Spectre x360 (1.32 kg/2.9 pound, 30.48 x 21.84 x 1.27 cm/12 x 8.6 x 0.5 inch). The sides of the laptop have enough ports to support a small cache of peripherals. The right side houses a USB 3.0 port, a headphone jack, and a smart-card reader. On the left, the user will find a microSD card slot, Thunderbolt 3, a Kensington lock slot, an HDMI output, another USB 3.0 port and the power jack.

There are hardly any tablets in this display size range anymore. For subnotebooks, on the other hand, it is the standard format.

The advantage of subnotebooks is that the entire laptop can be small and therefore easily portable. The smaller display also has the advantage of requiring less power, which further improves battery life and thus mobility. The disadvantage is that reading texts is more strenuous on the eyes. High resolutions are more likely to be found in standard laptops.

80%: This rating is not earth-shattering. This rating must actually be seen as average, since there are about as many devices with worse ratings as better ones. A purchase recommendation can only be seen with a lot of goodwill, unless it is about websites that generally rate strictly.
