Archive.org versionNow, we have to be fair – the EliteBook x360 1040 G8 is not a cheap laptop. You need to sacrifice a good amount of your budget in order to get your hands on one. However, the premium you pay does not come without coverage since you get a ton of features, that you might never even use. Not only do you get an HP Active Pen inside the box, but there is an NFC coil for quick pairing with a mobile device or wireless Smart Card. Also, most of the bezel above the display is put to good use as it holds a bunch of sensors. This includes an ambient light sensor, a proximity one (that detects your presence and logs in and out of the notebook with the help of the IR sensor.

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.
