Case - The wrist rest area is not rigid
The housing of the HP Pavilion x360 is made of plastic. The display lid and the top of the chassis have a non-reflective silver-coloured surface which feels smooth to the touch. The wrist rest area has a texture which resembles brushed aluminium. The back plate has a rough surface and a greyish colour. You can't replace the battery without disassembling the laptop first. There is no quick maintenance hatch, either.
The build quality is solid. We did not notice any defects such as chinks where different pieces of plastic meet. However, the chassis is not very rigid. A small amount of pressure is sufficient to bend in the housing on either side of the keyboard. However, the display lid is quite stiff.
The hinges can hold the display in a set position. The display lid can be opened with one hand. When fully open, the display lid raises slightly the upper portion of the chassis.

The Pavilion x360 and the HP Envy 15 are the largest and heaviest devices in our comparison chart. However, other competitors have 14-inch screens.
Connectivity - HP convertible supports Power Delivery over USB-C
The Pavilion x360 features two USB-A ports (USB 3.2 Gen 1) and one USB-C port (USB 3.2 Gen 2). The Type-C port supports Power Delivery and can output a DisplayPort signal. There is also an HDMI port. The Pavilion x360 comes with HP’s proprietary charging port. Alternately, the laptop can be charged with the help of a USB-C power adapter (45 W minimum).
Card Reader
The microSD card reader achieved very good data transfer rates with our reference-grade SD card (Angelbird AV PRO microSD 128 GB V60). When copying JPG files, we saw a maximum transfer rate of 74.3 MB/s. When copying large files, the transfer rates peaked at 85.3 MB/s.

Communication
The Wi-Fi module (Intel Wireless-AC 9461) supports the following Wi-Fi standards: 802.11a, b, g, n, and ac. Bluetooth 5 is also supported. The Pavilion x360 did not achieve good data transfer rates in our Wi-Fi test which is to be expected considering the Wi-Fi card is not designed to break past the 433 Mb/s limit.

Web Camera
The Pavilion x360 has a low-resolution 0.9-MP web camera which produces subpar photos and videos. The colour reproduction is especially poor with a DeltaE 2000 of 22 (the ideal value is less than 3).




Accessories
The box contains the usual accessories (warranty information, quick start guide).
Maintenance
The bottom plate of the Pavilion x360 can be removed. To do this, all screws on the underside need to be undone. It is worth mentioning that there are screws under the rubber feet, which are quite brittle and therefore need to be removed with care. After all the screws are undone, the bottom cover can be removed with the help of a spudger or a guitar pick.
Warranty
The Pavilion x360 comes with a 12-month warranty. A two-year warranty extension will cost buyers an additional 50 Euros (~ $60).
Input Devices - Backlit keyboard
Keyboard
The chiclet-style keyboard offers a decent travel distance and a clear actuation point. However, the keys feel a little mushy. The keyboard deck exhibits some flex when typing. The backlight offers two luminance levels. All in all, the Pavilion x360 has a decent keyboard.
TouchPad
Touchscreen
Display - Dim IPS panel
Both the brightness (246.1 cd/m²) and the contrast ratio (859:1) are too low. When running on battery power, the maximum brightness amounts to only 216 cd/m². As a rule, we consider a screen brightness of at least 300 cd/m² and a contrast ratio of at least 1000:1 to be good.

Right out of the box, the screen offers a decent colour reproduction. However, with a DeltaE 2000 colour deviation of 6, the display misses the mark (DeltaE less than 3) considerably. The display does not suffer from a bluish cast. The HP laptop cannot cover both the sRGB colour space and the Adobe RGB colour space. It can only cover 59% of sRGB and 38% of Adobe RGB.

Performance - Powerful enough for office and web-based applications
The HP Pavilion x360 is a 15-inch 2-in-1 laptop. It offers enough performance for web browsing and office work.
Processor
The Pavilion x360 comes with Intel’s Tiger Lake-based Core i5-1135G7 which features four cores with a base clock of 2.4 GHz. Thanks to Intel’s Turbo Boost technology, the clock rate can be increased up to 3.8 GHz for all cores and 4.2 GHz for a single core. The processor supports Intel’s Hyper-Threading technology (one core can process two threads at the same time).
The CPU runs for a short time at 3.8 GHz in the multi-core section of the CineBench R15 benchmark. Then the clock rate starts to fluctuate between 1.7 GHz and 3 GHz. The clock speeds range from 1.7 to 4.2 GHz in the single-core section of the benchmark. When running on battery power, the performance of the processor drops significantly.
When compared to other laptops with the Core i5-1135G7, the Pavilion x360 leaves a rather mixed impression. It offers a very high level of single-core performance, but it achieves only mediocre results in the heavily threaded benchmarks.
We check whether or not Intel’s Turbo Boost technology can be used over an extended period of time by running the multi-core section of the CineBench R15 benchmark for 30 straight minutes in a continuous loop. The clock rates fall considerably shortly after the benchmark is initiated. All in all, the Turbo Boost technology is not fully utilised.

Gaming Performance
Even though the 2-in-1 laptop is not meant for gaming, it can still achieve playable frame rates in many games—on low settings and at low resolutions. However, the iGPU will not be able to handle the latest AAA titles.

We use the video game known as The Witcher 3 to check whether the frame rates can be maintained consistently over an extended period of time. For this, we run the game on the highest graphics settings at Full HD resolution (1920x1080) for one hour. Over the entire run of gameplay, the player-controlled character stands still. We did not observe any frame rate drops.
