HP ProBook x360 11 G1 (Pentium N4200, 256 GB) Convertible Review
For the original German review, see here.
With the HP ProBook X360 11, the manufacturer mainly targets educational institutions, which are supposed to integrate this convertible into the classes, where in particular the rough usage demands a very robust case to prevent damage. The HP ProBook X360 11 offers exactly this feature and is equipped with an Intel Pentium N4200 in our test unit. The small SoC is assisted by 4 GB of DDR3 RAM and a 256 GB SSD. Equipped as in our test configuration, the HP ProBook X360 11 can be purchased for 669 Euros (~$790; The HP ProBook x360 11 G1 Education Edition is available from HP USA for $539).
HP offers alternatives to our test configuration in the selection of processors and storage equipment. Even though the device can also be combined with a slower Intel Celeron N3050, while this only offers a minimal financial advantage, it is clearly at the expense of the performance capabilities. Unfortunately, currently HP has no devices on the basis of the Intel Celeron N3050, which means that we cannot tell you any clear prices here. For a similar model (Dell Latitude 3189 Convertible), the cost savings between the two processors were only 30 Euros (~$35).
Similarly equipped convertibles of well-known manufacturers serve as comparison devices. The following table which contains the most important technical data provides an overview for you.

Case and Features
At a first glance, the case of the HP ProBook X360 11 appears very robust and sturdy. And it is indeed, since the device underwent the MIL-STD-810G tests. The device is framed at the base and the display lid by a slightly softer plastic that is also contrasted in terms of color. It is black, while the remaining surfaces have a gray color. It is apparent that fingerprints easily stand out on the surfaces, which mars the appearance after some use. However, they can be cleaned quickly with a moist tissue. The stability is good, and thanks to the compact build, the device is very torsion-resistant. Even the display lid can only be twisted using a considerable amount of force. In terms of pressure resistance, the base leaves a good impression, even if the lid shows some weaknesses here. If pressing on a single spot, waves form on the panel that are clearly apparent. The two 360-degree hinges hold the display well in the desired position. However, the display cannot be opened with one hand, since the weight of the base is too low. With 1.46 kg (3.22 lb), the HP ProBook X360 11 does not bring too much weight onto the scale, although the Lenovo Yoga 700-11ISK is considerably lighter at 1.1 kg.
In terms of the connectivity, we find all the necessary connections. Even the modern USB Type-C connection is included, even if unfortunately it does not have Thunderbolt support. The connections are distributed well on both sides. The performance of the SD-card reader, which is on the left side, is good, even if it should be noted that it only accepts microSD cards.
For external communication, mainly the dual-band wireless-AC-7265 module from Intel is on board, which also handles Bluetooth connections at the same time. With the measured data rates of 671 and 559 MBit/s respectively, the HP ProBook X360 11 does not need to hide at all. Yet anyone who still prefers to create a wired LAN connection can do this without any trouble or adapter. A full RJ45 port is located on the right side, directly next to the power port.

Input Devices
To fulfill the requirements of the MIL-STD-810G standard, the chiclet keyboard of the HP ProBook X360 11 is splash proof. The single keys are sized at 16 x 16 mm (~0.63 x 0.63 in) and are set slightly recessed into the top of the base, so that their tops are flush with the palm rest. Due to space limitations, there is no number pad, which is standard for devices of this size. Working on the keyboard creates no annoying noises, and the short stroke is accompanied by a clearly noticeably pressure point, which is hard to dose though. The keyboard does not offer a backlight.
With 9.5 x 5.5 cm (~3.7 x 2.2 in), the multi-touch clickpad offers sufficient space to operate the mouse pointer. It could not have been much bigger, since the available space is used very well. The input surface matches the gray color of the base. Inputs are recognized and implemented beautifully over the whole surface include the edge areas. In addition, inputs in the lower area are only accompanied by a slight click.
The 11.6-inch touchscreen serves as an additional input device and can be either operated with the finger or with the optional active pen. To do justice to the high requirements of the MIL-STD-810G standard, the touch display is equipped with Corning Gorilla Glass 4.
Display
The 11.6-inch TN touch display offers a resolution of 1366x768 pixels. There is only an indication of an optional non-reflective display in the data sheet. In terms of resolution, there are no other options for the HP ProBook X360 11. Our test unit achieved an average display brightness of 166 cd/m² in our measurements. This result is the worst in our comparison field, and it already leads us to suspect that the outdoor usage will clearly suffer from this. Even though the black value of 0.29 cd/m² is not too high, in combination with the low brightness we come to a contrast ratio of only 600:1. However at 90%, the brightness distribution is very even and on a good level. Furthermore, we like the completely black display which shows no clouding. We did not detect any PWM for the display brightness regulation.

The very low contrast ratio (600:1) results in a slight gray veil, which also makes the colors appear slightly pale. The measured Delta-E 2000 values are very high in the delivery state. At 12.75 and 11.38, the deviations compared to the sRGB color space lie clearly above the target value of 3. Due to the TN panel there is also a slight blue tint, which can be somewhat reduced via calibration. The corresponding ICC profile is available for download. You can find the link right above the comparison chart. The color space coverage is not very good, but cannot be called extremely bad either. With 63% sRGB and 40 % AdobeRGB, the HP ProBook X360 11 is not suitable for image processing.
During outdoor usage, our earlier suspicion proves to be true. The brightness of the display is simply too low and insufficient. In addition, the reflective surface also creates a limitation which becomes clearly apparent during outdoor use.
It quickly becomes apparent that the HP ProBook X360 11 is a device with a TN display when we look at the viewing angles. Only the three test images in the center are half-way decent. The remaining pictures show strong color deviations.
Performance
Our test unit is equipped with an Intel Pentium N4200. The Intel HD Graphics 505 integrated graphics handles the display output. The 4 GB of DDR3 RAM as well as the 256 GB SSD are sufficient for the intended use. As an alternative CPU the slightly slower Intel Celeron N3050 is listed in the manufacturer's hardware specifications. The working memory can also be expanded up to 8 GB, but the 256 GB SSD storage is the maximum listed by HP.
Processor
A quad-core CPU with a basic clock speed of 1.1 GHz serves as the processor. The Intel Pentium N4200 is specified with a TDP of 6 Watt, and depending on the load, the small SoC can run at up to 2.5 GHz. In the comparison with the similarly equipped devices which are based on the same CPU, the HP ProBook X360 11 does not stand out. The small, frugal processor masters the main intended uses, such as office work and surfing the Internet very well.
You can find further benchmarks for the Intel Pentium N4200 here.
We test the performance of the processor under consistent load with the Cinebench-R15 constant loop. After the power target has been reached, we detect a clear performance drop already in the second run. After that, the performance of the small SoC remains very stable at 147 points. With that, the performance drops by about 13% as soon as the power target is reached.

System Performance
The system performance of the HP ProBook X360 11 is good and sufficient for a good third place in our comparison here. The Lenovo Yoga 700-11ISK took first place, being ahead by 20%. The device still leaves a good impression in the subjective evaluation of the system performance in everyday life. The system boots up and is ready for use quickly. Surfing on the Internet and switching between several tabs opened at the same time do not create any major obstacles for the HP ProBook X360 11. Using an SSD, which assures smooth operation, is very good.

Storage Solution
A SanDisk SSD with 256 GB capacity is the right choice for a storage solution of the device. After subtracting the recovery partition and the Windows installation, around 180 GB of storage capacity remain for the user. With the performance measured, the HP ProBook X360 11 also does not need to hide from the competition here. However this time, our test unit is beaten only by the Lenovo Yoga 700-11ISK and achieves a secure second place.

Graphics Card
The Apollo-Lake generation was introduced in mid-2016 and is equipped with the Intel HD Graphics 505 as integrated graphics unit. This graphics core is mainly suited for low-end applications. Since it does not have its own video storage (VRAM), the main storage must be used. However, this is no different for the comparison devices. In the direct comparison, the performance of our test unit's Intel HD Graphics 505 is at the expected level.

Emissions and Power
Noise Emissions
The HP ProBook X360 11 is passively cooled, which also means that the device operation is completely silent. Even when accessing data, we could not hear any electronic noises.
Temperature
Even though passive cooling often leads to high case temperatures, HP has the surface temperatures of the ProBook X360 11 very well under control. Under load, we measure a maximum of 39 °C (102 F°) in the center of the back area of the keyboard in our test device. The bottom hardly warms up, which does not hinder using it on your lap even under load.
For our load test, we use the two Prime and FurMark programs. We let them run simultaneously for at least one hour and measure the maximum temperature of the processor under load. It does not reach more than 80 °C (176 °F) even after constant load. With a clock speed of 1.2 GHz, it is still slightly above the basic clock speed of 1.1 GHz. Thus we can exclude that there is any throttling due to constant load.
With 655 points in the following 3DMark-11 test, the HP ProBook X360 11 achieved a slightly worse result compared to the cold start. However, in everyday life this is not noticeable at all.
(+) The maximum temperature on the upper side is 39 °C / 102 F, compared to the average of 35.4 °C / 96 F, ranging from 19.6 to 60 °C for the class Convertible.
(+) The bottom heats up to a maximum of 30.6 °C / 87 F, compared to the average of 36.8 °C / 98 F
(+) In idle usage, the average temperature for the upper side is 27.6 °C / 82 F, compared to the device average of 30.3 °C / 87 F.
(+) The palmrests and touchpad are cooler than skin temperature with a maximum of 30.4 °C / 86.7 F and are therefore cool to the touch.
(-) The average temperature of the palmrest area of similar devices was 28 °C / 82.4 F (-2.4 °C / -4.3 F).

Speakers
The two small speakers are positioned at the bottom of the base in the area of the palm rest. This makes the sound very dependent on the surface the device stands on. A soft surface muffles the sound considerably, while a table top can reflect the sound optimally. In terms of the sound quality, voices can be understood clearly, but due to the kind of build, the highs are prevalent. The same goes for music or movies. We recommend the use of an external sound system for those who often use the device for playing multimedia content and do not want to forego sound quality.

Power Consumption
The low power consumption values show that there are exclusively energy efficient components inside the HP ProBook X360 11. Our test unit only consumes between 3.4 and 6.3 watts while idle. Only the Dell Latitude 3189, which is again slightly more frugal, can keep up here. We measure a top usage of only 16.2 watts. That is enough for a close second place behind the Dell Latitude 3189 in the overall competition. With a maximum output rating of 45 watts, the power supply has more than sufficient reserves.

Battery Life
Since unfortunately, our test unit has a defective battery, we cannot make any reliable statements on the battery life at this point. As soon as HP provides us with a similar replacement device, there will be an update on this.
Update:
We’ve received a second identical unit and were able to measure battery life for the HP ProBook X360 11. As expected, the device’s high power consumption is reflected in its rather short battery life. When idle the convertible manages to last for 16:13 hours; under load, it ran out of power after only 3:17 hours. In our real-world Wi-Fi test the HP ProBook X360 11 lasted for 6:21 hours, which means fourth place within our test group.

Verdict
With the HP ProBook X360 11, the manufacturer mainly seeks to cover the education area. The convertible fulfills the MIL-STD-810G standard, making it a very robust device that can handle one or the other bump without any problem. Thanks to the Intel Pentium N4200, the performance is sufficient. For 669 Euros (~$790), the buyer receives a well-equipped device, which can support creativity with its touch screen and optional active pen. The color design appears somewhat restrained, which is not necessarily a disadvantage, since it leads us to limit ourselves to what is essential.
With the HP ProBook X360 11, the manufacturer offers a good convertible for educational institutions, which can introduce students to the handling of the new media. In addition, it can loosen up the classes through its targeted use.
Besides the stability, the good input devices and system performance, as well as the silent operation convinced us. However, with the display the HP ProBook X360 11 loses some important rating points, since the display brightness that is too-low slightly mars the good overall impression. More serious is the use of a TN panel, which is not a disqualifier for a convertible, though. For an 11-inch device, the HP ProBook X360 11 offers decent connection features that are distributed well over both sides. Even a USB-3.1 Type-C port is included, which is not a given.
For your information: Due to the missing battery test, rating is unfortunately not possible yet. To leave it out would distort the result, which led to our decision to perform the rating as soon as we have received a similar replacement device.
Update: we’ve added our final rating now that the battery life results are in.
