60% Review: the HP Spectre x2 can't beat the Surface Pro 4
Source: PC Authority
For me, the decision is easy. The Surface Pro 4 does everything the HP does in a more refined package. In fact, the vastly superior display quality alone swings it for me, and for that, I’d happily put up with a slightly slower CPU. Don’t get me wrong, the HP Spectre x2 is a competent, reasonably priced hybrid, and if the price shrinks further in the future it may become something of a bargain. But when its major selling point is being cheaper than one of the best tablets money can buy, being roughly half as good doesn’t cut it.

This screen diagoal is quite large for tablets but small for subnotebooks. Some convertibles are also represented with that size.

Large display-sizes allow higher resolutions. So, details like letters are bigger. On the other hand, the power consumption is lower with small screen diagonals and the devices are smaller, more lightweight and cheaper.

Mainly, bigger-sized tablets and convertibles weigh as much.
