Hands on: HP EliteBook X review: can it stand up to the 'most powerful' AI laptop claims?
Source: Techradar
If you're curious to see how well an AMD-powered AI PC will hold up, HP makes the claim that the HP EliteBook X will be the most powerful AI PC on the market. Backed by its NPU running at 55 TOPs and faster memory, it seems like this boast isn't completely unwarranted. Meanwhile, the aesthetics of said laptop are quite impressive so far, as is the port selection.

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.

HP: Founded in 1939, the US company is a major server and printer manufacturer and one of the leading IT companies in the world. Until 2015, the company was called Hewlett-Packard Company. After a split, the computer division was renamed HP Inc.

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.
