There are a few ways to think about the HP Pavilion x360. If you think of it as a cheap Windows notebook with decent performance and the added bonus of a tablet mode which you might use from time to time, it’s a pretty good machine… although not necessarily the cheapest or most compact option for folks looking for a Windows notebook.

By taking the Yoga's popular foldback hinge design and making it available for as little as $399, the HP Pavilion x360 performs a valuable service, and should be commended for that, as well as for being a budget laptop with a better-than-expected typing experience and plenty of ports and connections.

The red design looks good and feels sturdy, but the Pavilion's weight and dimensions make it tricky to use as a tablet, and its lack of power, poor screen and mediocre battery life hamper its usefulness as a laptop. We'd only recommend this if you want a stylish ultraportable for a low price.

Even though the price is appealing, the HP Pavilion X360 suffers from too many compromises. The Asus VivoBook X200CA offers similar performance and battery life for £50 less, while the Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga 2 11in shows exactly how a hybrid should be made for £500. It is a promising effort, though, and a better quality screen would transform the HP’s appeal.

Conceptually the HP Pavilion x360 gets a lot right. It's got full Windows 8.1, it's affordable, has plenty of physical connection ports, makes light work of typing, and the multi-positional screen idea is integrated well, even if it's not an entirely original concept. We're in the post-PC era, but in this period of transition the Pavilion x360 fails to enhance what is already on offer in the market. It just seems to just dilute it.

The Pavilion is a good-looking, well-built device that works as well as any other hinged hybrid in both of its modes. As usual, though, using this device as a tablet involves considerable compromise because of its sheer size and weight: while the vital statistics are fine for laptops, the x360 is more than twice as bulky as most tablets – and, crucially, it’s heavier, thicker and less versatile than the detachable Asus Transformer T100.

With its bright colouring and swivelling screen, the HP Pavilion 11 x360 looks good, performs well and has quality to match. On paper it's a great buy at £350, but it's difficult to recommend. The screen is a complete wash out, the keyboard isn't as comfortable as it should be, and despite being responsive, it's just too bulky as a standalone tablet. Even though it's more expensive, the Lenovo 11S offers a much better all-round experience. Or, if you can get past the relative lack of storage (at 32GB of SSD), the smaller and cheaper Asus Transformer Book T100 also performs better as both a laptop and a tablet.

The HP Pavilion x360 is a solid product overall, with a good build quality and a strong hinge design. It's also quite heavy, and this can make it a cumbersome product and tiring to use as a tablet for long periods of time. Because it's a budget product, the power under the hood is minimal, but it's nevertheless a product that can provide a good overall user experience.

HP offers good bang for your buck with this 11.6-inch laptop hybrid. I like the funky design and oodles of connectivity and, if you’re not too fussed about a pin-sharp screen, then it may be just right for you. The HP Pavilion x360 isn’t as portable as a tablet, but you are also getting a Windows 8 laptop and with full keyboard/touchpad and free 3G for £50 less than an iPad Air.

The x360 has a really great price point and user modes, but we can't help but be disappointed with the relative lack of power. We know it's a budget device, but we'd certainly rather pay a little more for a tad more get-up-and-go.

HP showed off its new Pavilion x360 notebook at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, and PCWorld’s Melissa Riofrio got an opportunity to spend some hands-on time with the flexible hybrid.

HP brought more than a few new devices to Barcelona for Mobile World Congress (new in Europe, at least), but the most interesting is easily the Pavilion x360. It's a hybrid device with a hinged lid that lets you fold it onto itself, turning the touchscreen laptop into a large tablet. If that sounds familiar, it's because we've seen the design before in Lenovo's IdeaPad Yoga.
